Here I am

Hi folks, don't have a lot to talk about, been especially busy with Nina and with getting ready for the big garage sale and glass sale. I did get my camera - a Nikon D3000 and it is awesome. Here are some pictures:

Bubble time after Sunday Dinner, Connor loves to chase down the bubbles and pop them.

Nina's new tatoo. That's all I'm sayin

And my little Connor Monster. He's getting so big. Hope everyone is doing well. Take Care and we'll talk again soon.

Sundays

It's been a while - sorry. I've been busy. I've been depressed. I've been tired. I just haven't felt like talking to you all for a while. I'm still busy, tired and a tad depressed and right now I have a killer headache but we'll chat anyway. Some days, I just don't have time to hardly turn on my computer - but I do and I check my email and facebook wall every day.

Okay, so what's been happening here in the life and times of terri and her family. This past holiday weekend was nice. Spent lots of time with Nina. Bryan came down on Sunday and cooked for us - it was great. Had 3 nights off in a row - way nice. Had to work the days though. Below is a picture of the Connor monster and Bryan on Sunday after dinner. We always go outside and play after dinner. Pretty soon it will be dark at 5:00 pm and cold - so we are taking advantage of these wonderful Sunday evenings now.

The picture below is one I've been wanted to take for a while. Isn't it ironic that I have a cool little red car, my daughter has a cool little red car and Bryan has a cool little red car. I got mine first :)

Now, last weekend I got a huge surprise. As many of you know, we bought our house 2 1/2 years ago. It was new construction but the builder wouldn't let us make any decisions about the house. He already knew what he was going to do and he told me he would build me a beautiful house - which he did. One thing about this house that I would have changed - given the opportunity - is the paint color on the walls. The walls and ceilings everywhere (including the garage) are sage green. I am not a fan. One day while checking on the construction progress, we happen to be there the same day the painters where there and they hadn't painted the master bathroom or closet yet so I asked the painter if he could please just paint those two rooms white - he did. I had previously decided that I wanted my bathroom to be decorated in Aqua and Brown - so sage green just wasnt going to work. Since we moved in I have been looking for the perfect shade of aqua to paint the walls and finally found it in the latest issue of the Oprah magazine. I told Norman that this was what I wanted the walls painted in the master bathroom. LO AND BEHOLD I came home from work last Sunday and when I walked in the bathroom.................

This is what I saw. I was SHOCKED cuz Norman doesn't ever do anything like this as a surprise. So now I have my aqua bathroom and I'm gonna have to go buy more towels.

We are having a yard/garage sale the weekend of Friday & Saturday October 2 & 3. I hope this is the last yard/garage sale I ever have to have. I am also going to try to sell my vintage glassware -all 25 cases of it. Nina and I have been pulling out each piece, inspecting it and cataloging it - and she has been taking pictures of each piece - what a job.

Darlene - I hope you had a wonderful vacation and got lots of rest - with all that's happening at SS you're gonna need it.

Sandra - where have you been? I haven't heard from you in a while. Hope all is good with you and your family.

Paula - I guess I am going to have to snail mail those pictures to you. email me your address and I will print them out and send them to you. You need to come see us - soon.

Charles - that N1H1 email - WTheck was that creature - kinda wigged me out, nina too. I appreciate the hankies, I just hate that I need them so often.

Reggie - some good news - not in the bones. We are all still praying and thinking of you.

Jenn - we missed you at Sunday dinner - hope you had a good trip.

Lydia - Thank you for all your support and advice. You always happen to be there when I need you the most.

For everyone that has given me coke codes, caps and fridge pack ends - THANK YOU SO MUCH. I haven't won anything YET but I will.

Have a great week everyone.
