TGIF! 2008-05-16 02:56:59 Another Friday before a weekend with NOTHING planned!!! Whoohoo!
Well, actually, it is a busy working weekend for hubby, but I am home with the kids I always look forward to spending time with them. Of course, it makes me long to be a SAHM, but I have truly enjoyed working and getting out of [...]
Photos, Memorabilia, Scraps… Oh My! 2008-05-19 01:33:09 It’s the last week of the scrapbook party at ScrappingServant.com. Check it out!
As you can see above, I’m behind with my photos. This doesn’t include the past 5 years (the digital years). I think I’m going to wimp out on the above photos and get an album from Aaron Bros. Just so they’re in a [...] Read more:Memorabilia
Recently Heard: Time Out! 2008-05-20 02:50:41 While on the way to our small group…
Big Sis (4.5 years old): Momma, Bear is in time out!
Me: Oh.. what happened? (sometimes we put toys in time out when the kids are mistreating or fighting over toys)
Big Sis: Bear is in time out because he pushed Minnie [Mouse] off the bed!
DH elaborated that Big Sis [...] Read more:Heard
25+ Degrees 2008-05-20 02:29:51 We had record highs this past weekend - topping out at 103. I was inside and didn’t really feel the brunt of it. My parents, on the other hand, live in a more mild climate and thus do not have a/c…. They too were hit with 103 temps… with no a/c.
My mom because she moved [...] Read more:Degrees
Summer Hours! 2008-05-19 13:41:25 7:00 am to 3:30 pm.
I am liking the part about getting off of work at 3:30 pm… I just hope I can get used to the 7:00am part of the equation…
Happy Monday - hope you have a great week! Read more:Summer

Over the hill 2008-05-23 20:54:19 P.F. Changs - December 2007
Over Christmas break, we went out to PF Changs with all the siblings. As we waited for our table we opted to get drinks. The nice, sweet bartender carded me. (whoohoo!) It usually happens when I order something, so I didn’t think much of it at the time.
Until now.
Today, we went [...]
Who is it going to be? 2008-05-26 17:30:49 We just got home from a weekend of camping with the kids (yes, I am exhausted). I haven’t forgotten about my scrapbooking giveaway. Comments are closed and I’ll be picking a winner on Tuesday, May 27. (Most likely after the kids are in bed!) There were a lot of great comments that I can’t [...]
Sweet Cinderella 2008-05-29 01:03:19 Twenty minutes before conducting a conference call today with one of our university’s biggest donors and the chair of one of our largest campaigns to date, I heard a familiar melody and words to a song playing on my browser radio…
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
‘Cause I know something [...] Read more:Sweet
We have a winner!!! 2008-05-28 00:25:24 I received some wonderful hints on my scrapbooking blog party post! In fact, I got a little sidetracked by all the wonderful tips and almost forgot to post a winner
!
First, thank you to everyone who visited and participated in my giveaway by posting a comment. I’m grateful to have some inspiration to catch up on [...]
Who has time for anything? 2008-05-30 02:19:02 It’s midnight. Where did my day go? I was planning to go to bed early tonight.
It’s almost JUNE, people! Where did the first half of my year go!?! That’s right, first HALF!!! I’m still formulating the rest of my 2008 New Year’s Resolutions…
When did time speed up????!!!!
It is always busy during the last week of [...] Read more:anything
Overwhelming desire 2008-06-05 00:04:57 I have an overwhelming desire to SLEEP.
It hit me last night and I was asleep by 10 p.m. (which is early for me!), but when my alarm went off at 5:15 a.m. I did not want to wake up.
I did not want to wake up when I was driving to work…
…or when I went into [...] Read more:Overwhelming
Happy Campers 2008-06-06 02:57:15 The weekend before we went camping, it was 103 degrees. Six days later on the night before we left to camp, it snowed at our campsite. Mind you, we were only driving a couple hours away.
In the second photo, our initial campsite is above the cloud line. In the third photo, I was trying to [...] Read more:Happy
M.I.A. 2008-06-13 00:15:39 I’m still swamped and waiting to come up for air.
Between illness and traveling and cleaning and moving furniture and web designing and the Lakers in the playoffs… sorry, my hubby was interjecting there… and “So You Think You Can Dance” and cuddling with sick kiddos and work and more meetings at my local LLS… I [...]
Sleep-in Saturday 2008-06-14 19:19:40 I must have been very tired.
My sweet husband let me sleep in until 10am this morning. My darling girls, who rise with the sun, kept coming in to check on me, so he literally locked the kids out of our bedroom to let me sleep. Unfortunately, our Little One now has my nasty cold and [...] Read more:Sleep

Father’s Day ‘08 2008-06-17 02:33:05 Since we saw both of our dads (Papas to our kids) last weekend, we didn’t have much planned for this weekend. I tried to sneak out and get DH a cool electronic gift, but when he found out he banned me from the stores. Much like his birthday present. Instead, DH was plenty happy just [...] Read more:Father
Hooray! 2008-06-26 00:33:00 I’m usually not into sports, but I had to root for the team from Cali! They were the lowest seed in the series (nationally ranked at 89) and came out to win!!! Whoohoo!
My Little One was watching the dogpile and said matter-of-factly…. “Look mamma, they’re hugging… look, more hugging”.

In Sync 2008-06-19 03:12:57 Ever wonder about workplaces that always seem to be in meetings? Do they ever get anything done?
This is my first position/workplace that regularly meets every week and every month. They live and thrive by The Weekly Meeting.
Now that it’s fiscal year-end… I have 14 meetings scheduled over the next four work days. That’s not including [...]
Night Owl 2008-07-08 01:24:13 Why is it that I always get my second wind at about 10:00 pm?
My body has finally adjusted to summer hours and I have been waking up a couple minutes before my alarm starts chirping at 5:25 am. I still need my 8 cups of coffee to get to full productivity, but that’s year-round… even [...] Read more:Night
Happy 4th of July!!! (2008) 2008-07-05 17:47:03 Like last year, we went to a BBQ and swim at a friend’s house in our neighborhood. At nightfall, we sat out on the lawn to watch the fireworks show.
The girls enjoyed the fireworks until the noisy ones started popping and whistling. Then, DH took them home where they watched from across the street. [...] Read more:Happy
Calgon Claritin, take me away! 2008-07-04 19:28:22 Our area is known as having some of the worst air quality days in the nation. Spring is typically difficult with the fields and orchards in full bloom. We’re surrounded by them. Summer is also tough with the heat and lack of rain and winds to clear the air. Studies have been done on the [...] Read more:Calgon
I Love Sundays - Pedicures and Haircuts 2008-07-01 02:12:08 We were all awake by 7am on Sunday, but we were still late to church. A whopping 40 minutes late. Little One did not want to leave when we picked her up from the Toddlers’ room. I don’t blame her. She only had about 30 minutes to play.
During the service we sat in the back [...] Read more:Sundays

Coast trip photos posted 2008-06-29 02:53:15 For Big Brother’s birthday, we took him to the Aquarium and out to dinner. We were joined by both sets of grandparents and DH’s sister and family. We couldn’t have asked for better weather!!!
On the first night, we ate dinner with my parents at Lattitudes at Lover’s Point. We watched the sunset over the Monterey [...] Read more:Coast

Ready for the weekend!!!!!!!! 2008-08-08 20:52:29 I have been trying to blog every night this week, but there has always been something going on to keep me busy. The kids came to visit me for lunch today and it was so good to see them. I felt like I hadn’t spent time with them in ages. After they left, I seriously [...]
Fires, earthquakes and minimum wage - oh my! 2008-08-01 01:31:12 What is going on in my state?!?
Since I really need to get to sleep for my 8am meeting with the VPs, I’ll try to keep this short…
Big family reunion this weekend
Brother flying in at 10 pm tomorrow
I got my stitches out yesterday (Yea!)
I can’t shake this lingering fatigue

I Love Sundays - Home at last! 2008-07-28 00:44:53 I was restless yesterday waiting for my family to return home from L.A.
Originally they were going to leave early Saturday morning, but real life interrupted when my sister-in-law had her third hospital trip of the week with signs of early labor. By the time DH had finished up, it was nearly 7pm and I didn’t [...] Read more:Sundays
Look out weekend… 2008-07-26 02:24:00 That song lyric should date me. I don’t know why it pops into my head still. There was a time in high school when we would have a dj and dancing during Friday lunches. That song was always playing. And that’s the only line I remember besides the chorus. Isn’t it funny how music can [...]
