Ouch ... Mini Vacation is Over

Well, it's back to work today for me. It was a wonderful three-day weekend. I accomplished so much, but it was EXHAUSTING! Now I have to "fit" a 5 day work week into 4. Guess I will be ready for FRIDAY ... lol.

I finished planting my flowerbeds, the pool is up and running. I even managed to get in some grocery shopping, laundry, and that general (yuck) housecleaning. I decided to take the time to "pamper" myself with a pedicure and manicure. It was actually a "necessity" after all my work, but it felt soooooooo good to luxuriate!

I made a very "untraditional" Memorial Day meal. Chicken breasts with rice and a cheesy sauce. Since there was only Mom and me at the house, it did not seem like a day for a big barbeque. My oldest and youngest kids were off camping; the middle child had to work this weekend. I did get to see my dgd, Michaela, Friday evening, but not since ... I REALLY miss her when she is not around.Michael sent me a couple of pics he took with his cellphone. I am not sure where they were, but looks like Michaela wanted to "test" the waters! She is just too cute; but maybe I am a bit prejudiced!





I have completed a commercial/personal use kit which will be in the store later this week. It had a terrific time creating it ... just WAIT till you see the preveiw.

I also was able to spend some time in our chat room over this weekend, getting in as much CELEBRATING as possible for TSG's birthday bash. It is ALWAYS so much fun to get to know everyone. There is so much to learn from each other, and I love to hear others' stories.

So, I had better get a move on if I want to be to the office on time.
