T - 30 hours.....

And the countdown has begun! *L*

Have I mentioned how ready I am to get to the beach? Well I am!

I have the last bit of laundry in the dryer....going to pack that when SB wakes up. Then the only thing will be to pack our toiletries in the morning! I printed out the directions to the beach house and have those on the counter, I have my camera ready, battery chargers for phone & Camera ready, food (non-paerishable) in the van, (which by the way I had professionally cleaned inside & out...because God knows I would never had been able to get it that clean on my own! *G*) I have left stepmonster detailed instructions on animal care, food in the house, and "company".

Speaking of Stepmonster, you are never gonna believe this, well I didn't anyway. She got up this morning and said "Since you are leaving in the morning, I wanted to give you your gift today". It wasn't ticking so I decided to open it....she got me a cute Bath & Body Works type lotion set and some new hair accesories. She said she noticed I was putting my hair up (it's getting longer than I am used to) and she thought I could use them. I was stunned she bought me anything and I told her thank you very much! Wonder how long the good times will last? *LOL*

Anyway, gotta dash! Need to call my mom and make sure we are still meeting for dinner tonight!

Ya'll have a great mother's day!

Simply a Wonderful Saturday

Today was a great day!

There is a small group of us who get together on each person's birthday and plan an adventure. Since most of us were going to be out of town on SIL's big day we decided to get together today and suprise her. She loves animals so much that we call her Ellie May, so we decided that the perfect adventure for her would be the Lazy 5 Ranch. We had a blast! Imagine 4 grown women on a hayride traveling through a 100 acre zoo. It was too funny! We saw lots of elk, deer, buffalo, and pot belly pigs. But the best part was feeding the giraffes, camels and zebras! SIL was in heaven! After we left there we went to our local scrapbook store (LSS) and I spent way too much! Even with the 30% off I still spent almost $50! I haven't been to a scrapbook store since Feb. but I could have not gone for another year and still have plenty of stuff to use! But in my defense I did just buy what I needed for the pics I took today. (176 pics!!!) And let me just say.....they are OUTSTANDING!!! I am so in love with my new camera! Sugarbritches is happy I am finally learning how to use it so he will be real impressed with these. If I would ever figure out how to size them I would share some with you. Maybe soon!

Well I am off to write out all my bills, clean my kitchen and settle in for a quite night w/ SB. Perfect ending to a great day!

Hope you all had a great day too!

Whiney Wednesday

I don't really know what I have the nerve to whine about..life's pretty good...but here goes anyway!

1. I can't seem to lose weight fast enough! I know it is coming off slowly and that is how it should come off, but I wanna be skinny! (Said in my best whiney voice!)

2. Stepmonster is being her most pleasant self! NOT! I wish we weren't always growling at each other.

3. Vacation is 11 days away....I wish it were 1 day away! *L*

4. Repairmen are scary! Took my van in to have the tires aligned and the brakes check.....they have been squeaking for a while but hubby had just replaced them so I wasn't worried but it was annoying. The repair guy came in and told me that I had NO Back brakes and he was suprised that my car was still stopping! But if I would just give $375 he would be glad to fix it for me today! I call hubby near tears and he tells me that he can replace them for about 1/2 that! thank goodness I married a man who know how to fix things!

5. My scraproom is a disaster area and I don't want to clean it up!

6. I have no idea what to get my mom for Mother's Day....and she is already pissed because we are leaving for the beach that morning instead of spending the day w/ her! Before you throw something at me....I have asked her to tell me something that she would really like to do and we would spend all day Sat. doing that....she hasn't given me any ideas.

Well now that I have whined why don't you?

Go ahead it might make you feel better!
