Let There be MUSIC!

So, besides my two boys, family, chocolate and sharing random thoughts - I've added another one of my more favorite things, that I love ooooo so much, to the blog - MUSIC!

Live for Now...

"If you have one eye on yesterday and the other on tomorrow - today you'll be cockeyed." - Anonymous Here's to living in the moment, cherishing your friends and family, giving your all because you can - not because you have too, laughing out loud, snorting if it becomes necessary, giving your kids an extra squeeze before you leave, kissing your husband good morning, leaving the dishes, getting on the floor and playing cars, smiling because the blog won't allow you to space any of your thoughts, returning your shopping cart, eating donuts for breakfast, enjoying snow in April, praying for those around you and actually living your life for what it is and what you have - which is today.

F-R-I-D-A-Y (Part 2)

Okay, I've decided that F-R-I-D-A-Y means nothing when you've got to work on Saturday. Anyone else feel this? I mean, it just becomes another day - not one of which I feel like singing and dancing. Dang. It's going to be a l-o-n-g spring! :)

F-R-I-D-A-Y...

I really - really - really like the word Friday. There is no other word that makes getting out of bed in the morning enjoyable - except for Saturday, that's a pretty fun word to say too.

Texting, Texting...

One - Two - Three... is this thing on?? Today, Damon and I were texting back and forth regarding who was going to be working late and who would be available to pick up Asher from daycare. It reads something like this... D: "dont think i wil make it mite be close" D: "I wil b late" M: "Ok... I'lll be sure to pick jim up. thanks!" D: "Who is jim" M: "Ha! Him!" :) New phone, smaller buttons - might take some getting used too! If anything, it is providing me with some much needed laughter in the middle of my work days! :) This post doesn't believe in having any spacing, after attempting multiple times to do so, it doesn't work - so enjoy!

Puddle Time...

One of Asher's first trips outside to play in the water! :)

Oh So Random...

• Damon did a craft show this last weekend. As we were sitting at the booth we over heard two older (in their 60's) women having a conversation as they walked by. All we heard was one older lady telling the other, "All I'm going to bring is clean underwear and knee pads." Huh.


• Did I tell you that Asher now says 'Apple' - random, which is why it fits perfect with my post.


• I made lasagna tonight - what it lacked in all the herbs and spices that you're suppose to add, it made up for it in cheese. Yum.


• It is only two more weeks until Bloomers is 'officially' open - depending on the weather, wow, these last few weeks have flown by!


• My house is still relatively clean - still clean to where if you stopped by, I wouldn't be embarrassed. Who am I and what I have I done with the 'old Manda'? - This includes my laundry for those of you who are dying to know about my commitment to staying clean. :)


• This last weekend Asher got up before 7am both Saturday and Sunday - what the heck!? This fine Monday morning, I had to DRAG him outta his crib, kicking and screaming because he wanted to sleep in. I think it's time for us to give him his first lesson on weekends and sleeping in.


• We might be flying to Wisconsin this weekend - very random, kinda excited. Hope Ash does okay on his first airplane ride. Ha, who am I kidding - I hope I do okay on my 3rd airplane ride! :)


• My in-laws came over last Tuesday evening, ate supper, played games and watched Asher on Wednesday. It was super fun. We played sequence, with a capital 's', and Rog and I kicked BUTT! We took 6 outta 6 games - I'm looking forward to their next visit to see how lucky Rog and I get! :)


• We're getting 'oh so close' to the end of wood burning season - which means we get to clean up the basement and keep it that way for few months, awesome.


• I saw a chap stick at L&M this last weekend named, "Chicken Poop" - don't worry, on the back side of the tube it stated that there were not any actual ingredients of poo. Whew.


• I delivered a planter to the clinic a few weeks back - a little something to celebrate the first day of spring for a lady who worked there from her sister. Such a fun idea. I realized after I had got back to Bloomers that my zipper was down. Classy.


• I miss my nephew - I wish I could see him more. I wish we could go for walks at night, play at parks and read books together.


• I'm excited for this summer. I can't wait to go on boat rides, camping, tubing, fishing and just playing outside with Asher - he really enjoys being outside, I can't wait to enjoy warm weather together.


• I love Guacamole Chips. Love. Them.
