My How Time Flies......

This week has completely flown by.......

Got home late Sunday evening from the Philadelphia Miniature show.  It was a lot of fun, had a great time and was REALLY, REALLY, REALLY bad in sales room.  I worked Mon night (got to flex down around 11) and Tues night, then was on call Wed night (got called in until 9:30) and then worked in the office Thurs and Fri.  I finally got to the gym this afternoon, I'm sure I'm gonna feel it in the morning!

This evening, Mike and I went to Bahli Hai--- YUM YUM--- love that Chinese Mongolian grill!!!  Between our travels and work, tonight was only the second night in the last 2 weeks we've eaten together.  We made a real night of it, after eating we went to Costco, we really know how to have an exciting Fri night!

If you've followed the weather, you know it has been raining in our neck of the woods.  In VA, Mary and Marshall have had water up to their front porch, no water got into the house, but it sounds like they had some leaks from what was coming out of the sky.  Hopefully, the rain from Ida will be over soon and they can get their lives back to normal soon. 

Tomorrow is UPS day.  I love play dates!  I've got all the treasures I bought last weekend packed to go for Show and Tell.  I wasn't very successful shopping for my friends, but was able to get some of the things on their lists.  I'm anxious to see what the others bought at the show, hope they come prepared for show and tell too!

Tomorrow evening we are going to a pig pickin'.  Looking forward to some pork!!!

Sunday I need to get some housework done-- BORING-- and laundry.  Maybe I'll get something out of the freezer and fix some cool weather food-- although, it is supposed to be 75 degrees on Sunday.  Then Monday it will be back to work.

I need to spend some time making up a menu for Thanksgiving-- guess I'd better find a turkey soon, too.  Any suggestions are welcome!

Off to bed so I can get up and play tomorrow..... sleep well......

Please try not to be too jealous of my exciting life!

Playin' Around

Just playin' around with my blog-- since Marshall is now on his way home, I no longer need to know what time it is in Iraq!  It felt really good to delete that clock! 

Off to the Philadelphia Miniaturia Show early Thursday morning.  This is the first BIG show I'm going to-- I have a couple of  things in mind to look for and shopping lists from 3 friends, but am really excited to have the chance to go with a couple of really good friends.  Sydney and I are taking a class on Friday with Betsy Neiderer and I am taking a class to learn some techniques to use the drill press. 

Need to go try to get some sleep--

Exciting News

Couldn't sleep (again) last night-- something pulled me to the computer-- and that's when I got the message "Hey Im in Qatar"--- #3 son is on his way home after 6 and a half months in Iraq-- Thank God!! I know Mary is probably beside herself knowing he is really on his way back home--

Off to work with a spring in my step!
