"cat in the hat"

"cats" should not throw 12 year old girls under the bus. That is NEVER ok.

"grillz"

Grillin' burgers for dinner tonight. Yum. Will have to walk it off. Tired tonight. Is is Friday yet?? Still haven't watched BB10 from last night. Maybe I will just chill tonight and RELAX!!!!

"please and thank you"

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things that I can and the wisdom to know the difference.

"is the grass greener on the other side?"

Does Betty still love Barney???????? Interesting........................

"carmel by the sea"

and I want to go here. Cottage in Carmel.

"I want this to be my life"

BFF are you in?????

"work, work, work"

Wish this was me right now. Been workin ALOT. Tired and haven't even posted in almost a week because I've been working too much. Maybe I will be inspired later.

"let's cruise"

This is the cutest bike ever!!! I want it. Put a basket on the front and some streamers on the handlebars and off we go. Riding along the beach would be the best. This site has lots to choose from. beachbikes.net

"big hair"

I love big hair more than anyone in the world. My sweet daughter is starting to take after me!! I LOVE IT!!!! She is 13 going on 30..............................

"be happy"

The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything that they have.

"4 day weekend!!!!!"

I am so happy right now. I just got off work and I have the next 4 days off. We are going to the water park tomorrow (Otter Beach in Corvallis) with BFF and Maddie. Saturday is a bridal shower for our little "Sunny D". I am so excited for her wedding. She deserves all of the happiness in the world. It will be a great party at BFF's house and we get to see little McLain (new baby of hot mamma Tara.) Yeah!!!!!!

Sunday I am going shopping with the girls that I work with at the salon at Washington Square, Portland. I love to shop. For makeup, clothes, shoes, purses, makeup, did I say makeup??

And eat at one of my favorite restaurants.............. I hope my weekend turns out as wonderful as it sounds!! Then I am taking off Monday to sleep in and spend the day with my kids. Maybe I will call a friend to get together with the kids? Kela???

"save the date"

Save the date. I am having a "purse party" on Friday, Aug. 22 @ my house (designer inspired). Anyone who is interested is invited. It's from 6:30-8:00. If you know me, you know where I live, if you need directions, ask. It's just a good excuse to get together, eat, drink and hang out!

"joey"

This is my new friend "Joey". Joey is very special. My BFF might get a little jealous, but it's ok. Shout out to Joey. (you are kind of a hot mess...........)

"did you miss me?"

I have been gone from my blog for a week!! Hope everyone had a great and safe 4th of July. We went down to Creswell to the Bagenski's for the 4th. Had a BBQ with great food (no broken toes this year!!), fireworks and fun. The kids played "rockband" and rode down the big hill on a go- cart. Probably not the best idea, but everyone is still alive. Then we went to Newport the next day and night for fun. Ha ha. Didn't turn out to be fab, but was ok. Not really going there. Kids fighting, husband cranky, ate too much, didn't sleep, rained on us, need I say more?

Meet the band.......Nicole, Cassandra, Tyler and Jasmine.......

Girls doing sparklers on the 4th of July at the Bagenski's......


Newport.....

Everyone looks happy. It's a forced picture. The next picture below sums it up......

This was the "mood". Not good.

"Apothecary jars"

I saw some jars like this at Target. They would look great with my seashells from Mexico and my rocks from Bandon. Pretty pricey for my budget though. Someday................
