"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me.'" { Erma Bombeck }

brain dumping the weekend monday

kaylee and i getting ready for our girls only party

1. finally broke down and bought these rollers to try. before even trying them, i get my hair cut short. they didn't do much but i think its because i didnt leave them in long enough. kaylee thought they were tons of fun!

2. great and crappy weekend all at the same time. friday night we had tons of fun with friends who came over last minute. made a gourmet meal of pizza pockets, apple pies and s'mores over the fire pit, drank beer {monster and vodka for me}, made future plans that will probably never be executed but was still fun to make.

3. saturday ran into a depression session. hate feeling like i'm wasting my life away by doing nothing. i feel my body and heart wanting to explode with passion but for what? i don't know.... where's my niche in life?

4. sunday had a great time at our play groups picnic hosted by megan. finally got the husbands to meet other husbands.

5. i told mike last night that i think i'm finally starting to look my age. he was kind enough to say that i don't.

6. the other night, after waking up for the umpteenth time to blow my nose, i heard kaylee laughing in her sleep. like a full minute of giggles. still makes me smile thinking about it.

7. my parents left for vegas yesterday and they will be staying for whole week. i want to go somewhere too!

8. check out a lego a day. he took pics of lego guy for 365 days doing super cool and super fun things!

9. being a parent to a teenager is super hard and ham's my easy kid. still waiting for that "how-to" manual.

10. last night i decided that while kaylee is in school, i was going to start walking/running. of course its suppose to rain all day but i'm still going to do it.

love this!

found this morning on tallu-lah's tale:

"Take a look at Hema's “product page”. You can't order anything and it's in Dutch….don't click on any of the items in the picture, just wait and see what happens.

This company has a unique sense of humor and a great computer programmer!"
