This Week So Far

This week is being so fun! Monday the girls were sick (Cassidy had eaten WAY too much candy and was up all night and Abby was sniffing-ok that's not the fun part - keep reading) instead of laying around all day we took a nice long relaxing drive to Sedona. I had only been there once and it was 15 years ago. I was craving some fall color and some cooler weather. The weather wasn't cooler but the scenery was perfect! It's on the Top 10 Beautiful Places in the US for a reason.

Yesterday I got to sub for my favorite Bunko group. They are so fun. I got the lowest score (always seems to be the case) and won the cutest Santa for my Santa collection. Thanks Corrie it's perfect!!! I did have a very embarrassing moment while I was there.

Should I share it? OK I will..........

**embarrassing moment**embarrassing moment**embarrassing moment**

I got up during a break in the game to go to the bathroom. I walked in and shut the door behind me and sat down. I was so entranced with all the beautiful hair clips she had hanging on the wall I didn't notice that there was ANOTHER DOOR that was OPEN!!!!! Not only was the door open but there was a TV being watched on the other side? Talk about the fasted pee in the west! I was outta there so quick! Hopefully whoever (the husband?) was in the other room A) didn't hear me, B) didn't see me and C) will forget all about it with the magic spell I sent that way.

Today was a half day. I don't know about you but a bunch of us Mom's are sick of the half days. They are always on a Wednesday - lame - how about making them on a Friday. Better yet, save up two half days and give us a whole day off. Then we could sleep in, plan a fun day with our kids or for those that need it find a babysitter for the whole day. How do you leave work, go get your child, take them to a sitter and then go back to work. It's a teaser! I'm not liking it one bit! It messes up the scheduling all around.

Tonight we had tostadas with lots of veggies for dinner and chocolate chip cookies for dessert. I'm still trying to not eat out and I have come to the conclusion that staying in is better. Homey, comforting, relaxing, tasty. Reminds me of how I grew up. We didn't eat out - ever! Who did back then? I remember on Fridays my Dad would sometimes bring home subs,or pizza (he did most of the cooking). Saturday night was ALWAYS hamburger night and we ate at 6pm sharp. If you wanted dinner you were at the table at 6pm.

My computer came back, was here for two hours then went back to the doctor. I'm thinking they are going to have to wipe it clean then reinstall everything - scary! I'm crossing my fingers XXX!

For now - I'm off to watch the baseball game while I finish up my book - The Lost Symbol. Riveting! Go get it! It will keep you up at night (like me!)

About Last Night........................

.................... I got to sub at Bunko.
It was super fun and I am always game to sub for this group because we have such a good time. Last time I subbed I got lowest score this time - 2nd lowest score. Yes, I think the dice are against me. That's o.k.

One of my favorite things was the BIG pile of purses on the floor in the corner. Everyone - and I mean everyone had an amazing purse. It made my heart go all a flutter! There was a yellow leather purse with a BIG yellow leather flower on the front that I might just have to find. It was DARLING!!!!

For dessert Paige brought out the new Cold Stone Creamery Cupcakes. Have you seen these? I hadn't and they were not only too-cute-for words! But they were too-tasty-for-words-too! But I'll talk about them because I'm all about the words!♥
I don't eat dairy. I don't even cheat(very often) because of how it makes me feel after wards. But I was not going to let this treat pass me by. No sirree! And I have to say it was worth it! The chocolate cup was so YUM, the cake - moist, the frosting not too sweet and the ice cream (I had the sweet cream) was yummy! Who ever thought these up were brilliant! I'm so bringing these to my next something. Not sure what yet....but I'm bringing them BABY!

Thanks girls for the fun night. I loved it. I'm tired today but I got my house cleaned, floors mopped, laundry folded and had a Dr. Appointment. Very productive! And........I'm doing a very good job at tracking my weight watcher points. (even though I cheated and had that sinful cupcake).

This week is going to be a very good week!
I can feel it!
I'm thinking positive -
I don't weigh any less yet but positive is very helpful don't you think?

So here's to a great week,
good times and being productive.
Cheers!
