last

Well here it is. The last day of 2007, and I haven't even had the chance to blog about Christmas. That will be coming...at least pictures any way. Had a good one, sorry its over. Its time to move forward into the new year and tax season. I know its a bad word for a lot of you, but not for me. See tax season for me is fantastic. Nothing like being and unmarried head of the household with all the CREDITS!! I can finally get the bookshelves for the books in boxes on my bedroom floor. It will be nice to be completely unpacked. Then I will work on my closet. I need organization BAD. its so big so everything is just all jumbled up together. Getting that done will make my morning routine easier!! lol..

I hope everyone has a great new year and maybe tomorrow I can think straight long enough to post about Christmas!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!

Hey there!!

How is your season coming along. Well for me. Busy as always but happy! Spent this weekend with some friends kids and had a blast making cookies and playing hide and go seek. Then had a mini shoot with a client/friend that got shorted out of a full session due to light. here is a peek...

Today was spent proofing their pics so they could have them and then scrapping and making dinner. I needed to get done with the K n' K kit so thats pretty much what I used today. But it was nice I had the perfect pics to go with the paper!!

Hope you all had a good one!! Off to do the dinner dishes!!

oh goodness....

busy week, busy weekend. FINALLY finished my Christmas cards! I made 36 in one style and got tired of it and did a much simpler design for the rest. Whew....hope to get those out Monday.

I am all done shopping!! Well thats not true. I have to pick up on gift certificate from our local theaters but thats it!! YEAH!!! Now to get stuff wrapped and shipped. I only have three people to ship to so thats good!

fun, shopping, lights, and a contest!

so Saturday was a perfect day! We got up early went out and got almost ALL of our Christmas shopping done!! So excited to have almost EVERYTHING done this early!! I even got a bunch wrapped last night! I just have the boys to do and a few handmade ones to finish up and I am DONE!! YEAH!!! After a wonderful morning of shopping and traffic we headed to a new restaurant in town. Its call Franco's Italian Pizzeria. Its on first street for all of you local. Its just one building e of bubba's BBQ. FANTASTIC pizza! The crust is PERFECT. CHEAP too! we had a medium which was HUGE for 11 bucks. They have a spot where you can see them throw your pizza in the air!! The kids loved it and whats great is that its family owned and run so they have their kids in there and family. It felt really homey and comfortable! Any one local should check it out! So here come the contest! the first person locally who goes into Franco's and scans their receipt and emails it to me will get a large goodie bag from me!! So go take your family out and enjoy a good meal and get something from me also!!

I got some really cool lights while out. They are little balls and are sooo bright. I put them up last night with some garland across a plant shelf I have and they looked so cute till about an hour later when half of them were not on! The box even said if one goes out they all stay on!! I have to get up on the stool and see whats going! makes me mad. They were 9 bucks! they SHOULD work don't ya think??

Me and the boys are going to make ginger bread men and sugar cookies today!! should be a blast!! have a good one y'all!!

I love the the fact that my oldest son feels so comfortable with me that he will let me read his love letters. He received a letter from a girl he has been engaged to since they were three. We all love her and know her family now because of their ..... um.... friend ship. If they grew up and actually married I would be thrilled. Course that is a LONG way away. Christopher has always included her in his future plans though. When he is done with college and when she only has one year left of college they will get married. I will be aloud to babysit when they go on 'dates' after they have kids. He told me once when he sees her he gets all tingly inside and feels like he can't breath. Dang if I didn't feel that way when I met his father.

Back to the letter though. We haven't had much contact with her lately because we have just been so busy with work and family stuff that our get togethers really haven't happened. You know going to the movies, going to pizza. The letter contains some heartfelt concern (on her part) that he has found another girlfriend. That is NOT the case and he told me so. She made him a necklace that is one of those break apart ones that says Best Friends. Well she said it should say boy friend and girl friend but that is not the point. The point is that these two kids actually think about each other when they are apart. What ten year old thinks past the end of his nose? (is that the right phrase here?) I wish that my son could have this forever, not the relationship necessary but the optimism of the whole package, the college, career, and loving family. He deserves it. We all do. I just wonder if the package will be with her......guess we have to wait 20 years to find out......
