Don't forget: Saturday is Free Slurpee Day - Pop Candy - USATODAY.com: "Every July 11, 7-Eleven stores across the country celebrate their birthday by giving away free Slurpees. This year the convenience store chain turns 82, and about 5 million icy beverages will be handed out at participating locations.
The company is touting this as the 'biggest Slurpee giveaway ever.' In addition, the Slurpee cups will come with codes that can be redeemed for $7.11 lawn seats to select Live Nation shows.
You can learn more at slurpee.com and 'RSVP' on Slurpee's Facebook page. But beware: Brain freeze is no joke!"

This is my happy place. Out in my yard, barefoot, relaxing in my favorite chair, drinking a nice glass of some homemade wine (courtesy of mom & dad). It's so peaceful to get away and just let the worries fade.

The theme for the week is chaos.
Need I say more? Between Emily and I my counter is alway full. I like things within reach. I can't find anything when it's put away. By the way... I actually cleaned the counter yesterday. I staged this. ha ha! There would have been more things here such as deodarant, the flat iron. And this is only have of it.

The theme this week is half. We are halfway through 2009. I feel like I just started this project. It's been fun so far.
Yesterday morning, the kids and I drove out to Cabella's in Dundee. I let David drive there and back. He did pretty good. After we left Cabella's with what we went there for, we took a drive through the town. Either I didn't find the downtown area or it was very, very small. We did see a garage sale on one of the streets. The guy had 2 electric guitars for sale. So we parked and went to check them out. The one was just like one David has his eye on at Guitar Center. It's a Les Paul. The guy was selling them for $10. They were really banged up but David didn't care. He got the one he wanted. When we got home he fixed it up. He got new knobs and some other little piece. He spent a total of $16.78 for a new toy that could have cost him over $100. He's so happy!

This week, the theme is pet peeves. I can't stand mail! It stacks up and makes a huge mess. This is nothing compared to what it could be. I just can't seem to get rid of it.

Last night David and his friend were the "opening act" for a band that played at the boat club that my parents belong to. They were going to be in the talent show but it was canceled. David was disappointed. After a bit the commador decided they could open for the band. They only played 2 songs, thankfully. They didn't get to do a sound check and you could tell. They were happy they were able to play, that's what counts.

Midnight Snack...because the icecream bar just isn't enough.
The theme for the week is light and shadow... I'm not sure if this really counts. I know there is light... but is there really shadodw?
Either way, this was a fun and tasty shot.

The theme this week is emotion. I would definitely be embarrassed if this happened to me! Thankfully, I can say that it has not.

The Space Needle at Night
The theme for week 22 is "night". I took this last week and am late uploading it. I ended up going up the Space Needle. I went later, during the day, though. It was a spectacular view.
Seattle is a beautiful city. I'm ready to pack up and move there.
This was taken from a park in the quaint neighborhood called Queen Anne. The homes were so cute.
The weather was perfect while I was there. It never rained once.
Work was a little slow. I'm glad I'm back. I missed my family so much. I wish they could have been there with me to experience it all with me.

I'm outta here!
Hello my friends! This will be the last post for a little while. My flight for Seattle leaves shortly after noon. I'm pretty excited, yet nervous at the same time. I am excited to visit a "new" city. I'm nervous about doing it alone. I'll be heading to my partner branch tomorrow morning and will be working 6 days with them. Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday will be free time. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I do plan on getting to the water during low tide. I am looking forward to exploring the sea life.
Well... have a great week everyone!

The theme for the week is zoom blur. This was new to me.. this zoom blur. I did it in a hurry. I don't care for the look. But it was new. I tried it. Maybe a different subject would be better.
This is the remains of my birthday bouquet. The daisies and mums out-lived all other flowers. Funny thing... I kept smelling this gawd awful smell in one of my rooms. I thought it was the carpet or something. Turns out it was this bouquet. There were smelly lilies in it. My room smells fresh again! I pitched the lilies.

I think I can breathe now...
Tuesday morning I walked into work and my most favorite auditor followed me in. No.. the branch audit is not something I look forward to but I'm glad it was her. She left today with only a few reportable issues. The most important or highest risk had no reportable issues. I'm happy. I have up to 14 days until I hear the final score. I may be in Seattle so I gave her my cell phone # and told her to only call with good news! ha ha

The theme for this week is spending money.
Oh I can spend money... just ask my husband. Shopping is therapy for me. I go to Target on my lunch hour just to relax. I really need to find another way to relax! I spend money on the kids more than I do myself as you can see by this photo.

In honor of Mother's Day I thought I'd get my 52 week shot with my kids. The theme this week is "hard at work". This shows the result of my hard work. I've got to say these are two of the best kids. I'm proud of them both! ♥

the high jumper
This was her second time doing this. She ended up in 3rd place at this meet. She was so cute because she didn't think she was going to do very well. After they raised the bar the 2nd time she told me that she can do better than she thought. Her final height was 3ft 4in. She is going to practice hard tomorrow. She wants to get much better.

Cherry Blossoms*
The theme this week is to take a photo 50 steps from your door. This is of a tree in my yard. I love this tree at this time of year. Soon all those pink blooms will fade.
Life has been, as usual, pretty busy. Friday morning I went to David's school. It was to honor all the 9th, 10th, and 11th graders who have maintained a 3.333 gpa all year. I am happy to say that I went because David did! YAY!! I am so proud of him. He got a pin and an Academic Letter, you know the ones that look like a Varsity Letter. I need to get a picture of him with it.
