February 6

So, we are leaving on vacation Friday morning - 31 hours from now, but who is counting. Usually when it is time to go away, I have packed several days ahead and am just waiting to throw my hair brush and toothbrush in a bag. Yet here is is almost time to leave and I havent even started putting stuff in bags. I don't even have the bags. Here sit some of what I am taking on top of my dresser - and that is only because I quickly threw them up there when I came home from work. I guess that is a step in the right direction right??? I really gotta get my ass moving. I did however find a gym that opens at 5 - not my normal 4 am, but since I am on vacation, I can live with that

So, it's time for a little catch up. I had a virus on the computer, so this is what I saw for a little over a week. I had to run the virus scan and then run it again, now we seem to be working ok. It seems to have come from the sites dh goes to. Yup - you know what I am talking about.

And here is a lovely picture of ds that his sister took on Saturday (2/2). She bought the head band and he of course had to try it on for her. Yes, this is the 25 year old who is getting married in less than 5 months!!

And here is a picture of the "Grand dogs" We took this on Sunday. I love these silly dogs. They are probably two of the best dogs you will ever meet!!

I should be able to be better for the pictures for the next two weeks - we leave Friday for Florida - I am very excited!!

What happens when your banannas are too close to the burner on the stove?? This. I went to get a bananna this morning after I had put a pot on to boil and this is what I found. Ick - I don't kinow about anyone else, but I like mine just right - no black or brown spots. These are awful - I wonder if I can get the kids to eat them. LOL!! Yuck. Probably not.

So yesterday I Get home from the gym and try to get in the shower. I am greeted by a pile of rubber ducks. I of course stood them up so you can all see them. Dyl loves her rubber ducks. Even when she is showering she has to have them in the tub. She even has some outside for the hot tub. She collects them from everywhere she goes - I actually try to bring her one too. She tells people she has 60 rubber ducks, thank heavens she doesn't yet - I won't be able to get into my tub. LOL !!!!

Yesterday I helped the kids put together the wedding invitations - actually I helped my DIL - my son kept getting distracted. They really are pretty. I can't believe in 6 months I will be heading to San Antonio for the wedding. My baby boy is getting married. They are such a cute couple too - both really great kids.

I found this Sunday when I was getting the Karate pics off the camera. Brookie loves to take pictures of herself. One thing she doesn't have that I did growing up is slef confidence issues. She knows he is beautiful and she knows she is smart. She will get dressed in the mornings and come out with a big smile and say "I'm so cute" Every day I ask them all "Do you know you're beautiful?' "Do you know I love you?" They answer yes and I tell them my job is done. Let's hope as she gets older she doesn't lose that - but lets also hope that she doesn't turn into one of those snotty kids either..

I have resigned myself to the fact that I will not have 365 days. Not that much goes on here and/or I can't remember to bring my camera - but I will do what I can and enjoy checking out everyne else's also

Saturday was Karate testing. All the girls moved up to their next belt. But I felt that this was probably one of the funniest pictures from then. Dyl does sparring and it is funny. She is such a little peanut - there is all sparring gear and not a lot of Dyl.
