Candy Shops & Bakeries

Gilbert is in desperate need of candy shops and bakeries - a Nordstrom and Crate & Barrel wouldn't hurt either... baby steps people.



And being the sugar loving, tasty treating, lover of all things deliciousness that I am (I inherited the gene - it's really not my fault) I sometimes dream about sweet stuff.



Which leads me to this place...because I don't even know if I could have dreamt up something this amazing.





Can you believe it?

What's not to love about Tuesdays?

Particularly when this place has a

delicious martes lunch special that calls my name

And 200 of my closest friends at exactly the same time = long line but worth it

Upgrade - Redo - Start Over

been upgrading my blog, my hair-do and my laundry routine...

more changes coming soon to my real life.

In the meantime - read the article YOU HAVE SUPERPOWERS for a little inspiration.

Everyone needs a few of those.

I should be _________

Ever have one of those nights when you should be ______________ but instead you are _________ ? Let me give you a "for instance"...

Tonight I should be folding laundry but instead I'm blogging.

Today I should have been cleaning up my kitchen but instead I was swimming.

This morning I should have been working out but instead I was dreaming about Sweet Tooth Fairy cupcakes.

Tomorrow I should get my oil changed and my car washed but I think instead I will read a book.

I JUST LOVE SUMMER!!! It gives me a license to put off the necessary and to make time for slacking. I've got that "I can just do it tomorrow" attitude. And it feels GREAT!

I think he's cute

Don't you?

He's also a TON of work. I could follow this one around all day and make cleaning up after him a full time job. (He's banging on a metal bucket RIGHT NOW - a metal bucket that is very loud that I've hid from him a half a dozen times.)

But....

He's also a TON of fun and has this fantastic personality and I'm loving getting to know this little boy. He is in full-swing of becoming himself - and I really like him.

And yes those are his real eyelashes - it's one of the real inequalities in life that a boy would get such fabulous lashes.

I've Been Away

I've been gone a while - seems like forever. Trying to make this week normal - the "NEW" normal.

Anytime someone asked how we were doing last week, Eric would answer "We're digging out." It has actually felt like physical work to make ourselves get back into the swing of things. Plus, I don't think I realized how physically exhausted I was from all that we've tried to accomplish over the last several weeks and months.

My to do list is long...but I need to do the IMPORTANT things first. The "URGENT" things can wait. My mom seemed to understand that better than most.

P.S. I've really missed spending time with my sisters this week - I kinda got used to being with them. I liked sharing clothes and hair products and makeup again. Miss you Beck & Val!

VALENTINES - Coming soon!

Will you be my V-A-L-E-N-T-I-N-E?
If you do you'll surely know how happy I will be.

Sugar Spice and all that's nice
That's what you are to me

Will you be my V-A-L-E-N-T-I-N-E?
