The weekend in a nutshell





We had a great time at Tracie's silent auction dinner for the Avon Walk. It was such a great time! Of course, that was after one hour that we drove erratically, unable to find the place :D But we did make it and had the opportunity to chat with Julius, Tracie's hubby. He and Brian get along perfectly, maybe because they're just as nuts. They were just hillarious, and this picture I took was just on the perfect angle! Tracie's kids are just AWSOME little ones, so we had a very nice time. The dinner was very good, music was also very nice (lots of Gospel!), and I had a chance to get a couple of very nice goodies, especially some scrapbooking ones! Tracie looked sooo pretty in pink!




Saturday, my sister Hilda came over and we had Coco's school fun fair. I volunteered to sell tickets, so I missed seeing the kids at the petting zoo and the races and games, but Brian took pictures. When we came back home, I was feeling so sick with my allergies, I just had to go to bed early, which made me miss my online crop! It was at Scrappin' with Grace, and they announced the winners of the game I've been playing in. My team didn't win, and i wasn't selected to be showcased at Cosmo Cricket's website, but I had such a great time, I signed up for their next game. I loved it because it makes me SCRAP, and I love challenges!





Yesterday, I finished some LOs for CHS... I LOVE May's kit! SO AWSOME!!! Today Brian wasn't working, since he starts his new job on Wednesday, so he prepared dinner on the grill! We had steak and potatoes, asparragus and corn... yum! the kids played in the back yard and we all had a great time. Tomorrow Brian is going out golfing (I'm green with envy!) with friends, so I guess tomorrow dinner will be on me!

Where do I start?? Thanks for posting a few pics from the fundraiser! I GUESS that picture of me isn't too bad!!! Please send me what you have?! I'm really glad you had a good time, was the music too over the top??

Great PICTURES of the kids! Great layouts as usual and I can't believe you weren't chosen! That is shocking to me, my guess is they were half in the bag when they were choosing!! LOL.

Still ALIVE...

... but swamped with fabrics and paint. It's kind of funny, I ordered some fabric online from Joann, and then when it arrived, I really didn't like it. See, I'm making new curtains for the back door (it's one of those sliding doors and we used to have blinds there), new pillow covers (because we got new slipcovers for the couches) and I'm re-upholstering the dinning room chairs. And so, I ordered different fabrics that I thought would match. Very orangy-yellowish, those are the colors we chose for staging the house. Anyways, when I saw the fabric, I was very tempted to return it, but instead, I started the first chair today... And I think it looks AWESOME!!! I just finished cutting all the fabric for the back of the chairs, tomorrow I'll be busy sewing. Can't wait to see the first one finished. I'm actually getting EXCITED! Bought a couple of lamp shades, too, and I'm almost done painting the tables black (coffee and end tables). Of course, the kids ...

We will be having a totally lazy 4 th of July. Brian just came back from his trip last night, and I think he must be needing a lot of rest. He's loving his new job, but since he really is very good at "fixing" accounts, every time he fixes one and he's starting to enjoy the fruits of his work, another one gets "broken", so he has to go in and fix that one as well. It's nice that he gets such a good reputation in his industry, and it's great that he gets to know so many new people, because it's always good to have such a network of contacts, but it's really exhausting. Anyways, a few days ago I went to buy a watermelon, because we all are fans (big time!). We come home, our mouths watering, and we open it to this... WHAT??? Cesar was brave enough to try it, but I just cannot bring myself to eat some yellow watermelon flesh. It does taste the same, but I just couldn't have more than a bite or two. I'll have to give it a try again toda...

A few weeks ago, after work, I heard Brian scolding Cesar. (If you don't know it, Brian and I work from home, so my office is just a few steps from the kitchen, so i can hear pretty well) He was starting to sound VERY unhappy, especially because Cesar wouldn't own up to his mistake. OUCH! So, here I come into the kitchen and start listening in: BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Are you hording them? Did you hide them?" CESAR: "Brian, I didn't take them, really" BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Coco and Connor can't reach them. Mom wouldn't take them, and they did NOT grow legs". ME: "What are you guys talking about?" BRIAN: "It's just that we had the gumballs' container almost to the middle this morning, and now, there's barely one layer of them. The only one who could have done it is Cesar, and he won't even tell the truth!" ME: "Eh... mmmhhhh ... did we have t...
