NetFlix

We have had NetFlix for some time now and we all LOVE it. I am the one to normally get on line and pick the movies along with the house requests.
About three weeks ago I was on a documentary roll. I chose three documentaries and the entire family just rolled their eyes.
We watched MurderBall- incredible! I love the players of the game and it was an inspiring story to all who watched.
God grew Tired of Us- I can't stop thinking of these Boys. Their story, their journey, and their ambition is more then anyone could fathom. There story shows how innocent they are and shows how we here in the U.S could stand to embrace their customs and their way of life.
IT IS A MUST SEE. This movie will make you laugh and make you hopeful and really make you think about how we treat each other in our society.
A little change never hurt.

Hotter then a Mutha!

So Friday Wanda and I left work early, it was slow and everyone was gone for the day.
It was extremely hot and my air conditioner no longer works in my car. I pick up Kira and start the long Friday night travel of bringing her back to San Jose where she gets picked up for her dad's weekend and then I head back over the hill. Normally it takes about an hour and a half. I notice on the way to take Kira that on the other side of the freeway its backed up past where it normally would be backed up, about ohh, 10 miles!
The heat is now about 92 and it has to be about 99 in the car! We sit and wait for Kira's pickup and we are sweating in crevasses that we didn't know we had. sigh.
After Kira gets picked up I think about heading back to work, just right down the road to get more work done and hang out in the air conditioned building. I some how pass my exit and sit in traffic.
I finally get home and it's almost three hours later. I was exhausted, irritated and sweaty.

Mom, Livie and I left Saturday for Betsy's - right back into the center of the sun basically!!!
It was 102 and again no air conditioning in my car. Betsy's apartment has air and it was heaven when we dragged our tired sweaty asses up her three flights- YES, THREE PAINFUL FLIGHTS of STAIRS!
Alllllllllllllll weekend long I was never cool enough. Not until we got home last night and I tool the coldest shower of my life. The fog rolled in along the coast at about 7:00 pm and it was a welcome friend to me! hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Tod tells me this morning it is supposed to rain this next weekend! Praise God! He heard my prayers!!!

Yummy or what?

I'm on my way

(I just purchased the June kit and I LOVE it all!)

Happy Friday

maaaan, what a looong week. One of those weeks where almost everything I touch, turns to poop. Kira I think feels the same way. School has been hectic, it's been hot, and our home has been busy and trying.
So the weekend is finally here. Kira is with her dad this weekend and Bernadette and Kira are at an allday crop tomorrow in Tracy.

Mom, Livie and I are going to Betsy's tomorrow morning for an overnight visit. Betsy is having her renewal jewelry party tomorrow night, should be fun. Livie loves hanging out with her and Mr.Murphy Man the cat.

Tod is working and will have the house to himself. Lucky dude if ya ask me!!!

Mother's Day

We slept in on Monther's Day since Livie slept in till 8:ish. wohooooooo! Tod and the girls gave me a camera! Its' the one that I dropped and broke that I originaly got for Christmas last year. No warranty and buying a refurbished one wasnt an option when we could spend $60.00 more bucks and get a new one again...... soooooo that's what they did, and I am thrilled!
The girls got ready and headed to their moms. Tod got ready and headed to his moms and grandmas.
Livie, Kira, mom and I made our way to Mt.View to be with grandma, Karen, and Betsy.
We went to our favorite Italian place in downtown Mt.View and had a great lunch and a great time. Livie was great and the waiter was great with her! I got some killer pics of Livie with Betsy and Livie with Grandma Joyce.
With all us women, it gets load and chaotic and I wouldn't have it any other way. These women mean the world to me and I cherish these times with them.
Our family is blessed to have my grandma with us and my mom. Last year mom was so ill and close to dying, that it's a miracle that she is with us to share another Mother's Day and to see her healthy again.
Now all I gotta do is download pics...... hopefully tonight.
Tomorrow is Tod's birthday so I have some running around to do after work today and tomorrow, so ..... pics may be downloaded LATER. Hehehe

Mother'

helllooo loooovvvverrrrrrrrrr!!!

hmmmmmmmmmmm, yes, It's mine, it makes me happy. It's my Mothers Day gift and I am thrilled to pieces. I have been dreaming about this lover for days and days and told Tod, "yep, this is what I want, this is what I need. I have birthed your baby, I have cooked your meals, loved you unconditionally, washed your clothes, managed our home and family and this is all I want in return!" HA! He agreed it's a bargan! I'm not the kinda woman that will spend $150.00 bucks on a purse, or shoes, or earrings, I just want the finer things in scrapbooking supplies!
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

Thank you Penny for hookin me up with your awesome "discount". This allowed me to get a few more "must haves" in the store yesterday!

Helllooooooo loooooooooooover! Welcome home!

ScrapbookDUI

So, I have an obsession with sb kits. I have only had a few good experiences with them though, meaning I didn't like the price, the products, or the owner. I know, it's a snobby thing, but I'm ALL about customer service and great people. My sister always says I am a retailers dream, if they play their cards right. If someone is selling something and I kinda- I mean kinda like it and they are nice peeps I will buy with no hesitation and come back for more.

So I have listened to Dayami talk about the new kit that was launched in May for http://shopsdui.blogspot.com/ I thought I would check it out since Dayami raved about how much products were included and it was all great stuff. I signed up and got my kit and I was not disappointed. TONS of Heidi Swap goodies, and I was Damaris' (She's the owner) lucky number 50 in purchasing her first month kit so I got a KILLER goodie bag! OMG! ME? I never win! Damaris included a very cool card and a sweet note! wooooooooohoooooooooo! I'm lucky number 50! woooooohoooooo!!!

I didn't have a chance to take pictures since Kira and I were up late working on her year end school projects. As soon as I hit the pillow at midnight little Livie woke up at 12:17! augh!

Please check out Damaris' kit and your promised not to be disappointed.

Very sweet owner, attention to detail, and jam packed with products for a great price.

I can't wait to see what she has in store for her future kits.

I wish her much success and hope her kits fly off the shelf!

Little Girl Dancing Merengue

I can't tell you how much I love this little girl! She makes me laugh everytime I watch this!. Enjoy

Aiko

It seems like I have no pictures of Aiko...? Not sure what that's about- I can't wait to get my camera again! augh!

Anyway, sweet Aiko. She is a blessing and a sweet baby girl.

Here is Aiko and Kira at the lake feeding the ducks with Tod and Livie.
