Home from Cropmania

I finally got home tonight... attending Cropmania in Anapolis, Maryland with a friend and my sister. It was a great weekend - I got 19 pages completed, we ate great food, had a lot of shopping opportunities, even a mini-massage, and I am worn out! But it was good, all good!

After the crop, a trip to IKEA was on the agenda - that place is amazing and I can't wait to get one closer to my area. Daughter #2 got some new bed linens and some lighting. I got more mundane things - a glass canister to keep my tea bags in and a dimmer switch for a lamp. :)

Picked up hubby from the airport tonight, since he was gone as well - he was south though, in Alabama.

And we are both off tomorrow (today!) for Good Friday, dinner and a movie is on the agenda, and some organizing of my scrapping materials will be tackled for the morning. Later!

Political Review ~ interesting sites

This is a pretty quick assessment, you answer your views on issues and it will map out who you most closely "match" in the presidential race:

Helping Hand

Tag, You're It!

This is how the tag works:
1 - Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages)
2 - Open the book to page 123
3 - Find the fifth sentence
4 - Post the next three sentences
5 - Tag five people

So... I first picked up Velvet Elvis, which I started a couple of months ago and cannot seem to finish. Page 123 is a title page, no writing.

Leading to my next book to read, which was a Christmas gift, Mosaic by Amy Grant. And the segment reads:

Tell me what, what can I do
What can I do today?
We've all seen trouble from time to time...

Does that leave you hanging? If so, let me know and I'll finish it out for you! lol

Kiss me once...

...then kiss me twice, and kiss me once again ~ it's been a long, long time...

okay, are you wondering why the kissin' comes in?
well ~
i went to check out my blog, and realize that it has been way over 6 months!! Yikes!
and thus, the long, long time came to my mind, and i remembered a song we learned for a special chorus program we did when i was a 9th grader - wow, now THAT has been a long, long time as well!

I guess i have not had much to say since the last posting? ha! you KNOW that's not true.

seriously, as many of you know, my mom has been battling cancer and i just had too much of real life to deal with - so, i am in between right now, and she is finishing up the chemo - but we are dealing with side effects still...

however, i do have a little less driving and scheduling due to her medical appointments

is anybody out there? i know that this blog is mostly for my own therapy, but i just wondered.

be back to chat again soon.
