Another coffee please

This month is totally kicking my butt. It’s been so busy but all with awesomely fun stuff.

My sister’s 40th birthday, Easter and a visit with my best friend and her family were last weekend.

This weekend we’ll be at a Pacer’s game with my oldest daughter.

Next weekend, San Francisco.

So I just walked down the street for a coffee to really get me going and I ran into a customer who recognized me from the restaurant I waitressed at when I was 16 (almost 20 years ago). And his wife too, who waitressed with me. We had a nice long chat.

I remembered how when I worked there it was like I was a chicken with my head cut off, running around, being so busy, yet strangely liking the fast-paced job and craziness of it all. It’s kinda like now. Guess I like that sorta thing.

OK, more to do, more to do …. gotta keep moving!

Good week with the kids

We had such a great play date at my house today. 4 of Ella’s friends, their parents, of course, and siblings came over to design t-shirts.

I bought Sharpie Fabric Markers and a couple cheap t-shirts and found some images around the house and stencils for the kids to use. A friend brought over a bunch of cookie cutters that were a hit too. The kids had a blast. Pictures to come. I’m way too tired to for anything involved right now.

It’s been a really good week. Yesterday Ella said she wanted to make a treasure chest out of a box but Eva wanted to play outside, so we took paint, two boxes, paintbrushes, etc. and did a craft in the sun. Ella said it was the best day ever and wished that day would come around more often. I like the way she puts things sometimes.

So, yeah, we are having some good times this week. Don’t get me wrong, there’s been lowpoints too. Like some broken items last night, some serious complaining about my cooking from a sassy four-year-old and a wild 2-year-old getting into everything and peeing on the floor right after her bath. But I think the good is winning.

Spring wants

It’s suddenly summer weather here – not sure what happened to spring, but I really need to update my warm weather wardrobe. Here are a few things I have my eyes on at Old Navy …

Really love the color of this dress.

This looks like it would be super cute with any color t-shirt, but I haven’t found too many skirts I look good in. My hips do not need to be emphasized. But maybe this will be the skirt that changes everything.

This little skirt is so cute. But again, must try on. May be a disaster on.

This is so pretty.

And why don’t I have a pair of these already?

Wavy vs. straight, a hair post

I’ve been playing with my hair and I think I’m learning that I like it a little more wavy than stick straight.

Overall, I like having shorter hair again though. Maybe I’ll even go a little shorter.

This is one of the photos I took to my hairdresser. Hope this girl doesn’t mind I’m stalking her hair. I think I owe her a link at least: thejulieblog

Love this shot too. A little shorter. Maybe I’ll get the nerve to go that short in a couple cuts …
