This and That

Ok, I just have to tell you where I am and what I'm doing.

I am in a very, very cool rented 2010 Chrysler Town & Country on my way to the GA cabin with the fam. On my laptop. Blogging. How cool is that??? What can I say, my hubby is the coolest damn geek on the planet. He. is. the. man. And he's all mine, ladies! This is a pic I just took zooming in on the very cool backwards mirror in the ceiling of the van, so you can see everyone in the back. Georgia, here we come! We should be there before midnight.

The MS Crop4Hope was this past weekend, man was that fun. I saw so many people I hadn't seen in years. Jackie did such a great job, thanks Jax!!! My tablemates were fantastic - Ginni, Dee, Julie, Marty and Kelli - such fun ladies to be around and so inspiring to see what all they were working on.

Then of course there was the Amazing Race. Our team name says it all - "Going Down in Flames.". That's all I can say. That, and holding printed-out bags o'taters is just plain funny. Oh, and when I got home from the crop, my oldest, Jess, was looking at all my cool goodies and saw the MS Crop4Hope tote bag. She said, and I quote, "Cool, Madre, you won Ms. Crop!" I actually snorted.

Ok, one last thought: I have the craziest. child. on. earth. Evidence: this video I found on my camera one day after she had had a "boring afternoon". I just about wet myself.

Finally For Sale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our house is finally for sale! What a long, hard journey. We signed with a great realtor on Saturday, Kim Hermann from Keller Williams. We just know she's going to do a GREAT job. She put the lock box on the door, and the sign goes in the yard tomorrow. She asked when we signed, are we bittersweet about it? Are we sad to go? That's a big NO! We are ready. We've talked about this for over 2 years, then did all the fixing up just to sell it. We can't wait to get into a new house! Anyone know anyone who would like a beautifully remodeled 4/2 in Citrus Park??? :)

Feelin Good

I know it's weird to feel good on a Monday morning, but I do today. :) It's cool and sunny, and I'm sitting by the window enjoying both. My house is neat as a pin. Dinner is already going, laundry too. I had a trip to WSD Saturday and saw good friends and got a much-needed creative jolt. Had a GAO (like a GNO, but in the afternoon, lol) with little crazy girl yesterday, shopping for her Halloween party stuff. Talk of another mini-getaway to the GA cabin in Nov. Anticipating teaching classes again in Dec. Planting some pretty red flowers by my door. House is on tonight. Just a medley of wonderful things. Yes sirree, I'm feelin' mighty good today.

A new career?

Just took a Career Assessment webinar. My top 3 stregnths are: Artistic, Literary and Clerical. The webinar leader said I "may want to consider a career change into graphic design or something related". Too funny. :) How weird is it that it was so dead on???

I'm already starting to work with two people on their wedding invitations, and hopefully will start teaching classes at Whim So Doodle again in December. Talk about satisfying my artistic side! Can't wait!!!

Great Quote

Saw this on Ali's site, thought it was great.

Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return.
