You would never believe me if I told you that an 84-year-old little lady lost control of her truck and basically "landed" on my parked Honda last night, would ya? The same car I was in the process of transferring the title to my in-laws.
Nope. Surely to goodness I make all this stuff up.
I wish.

{snapshots}
this weekend has been a blur. a frenzied, fatigued blur.
i have two reports due tomorrow and a mountain of records to be organized and delivered and between friday and tomorrow at 8:30 am - a lotta' activity has been in between.
we did manage to make it to one service today and we went to the one we typically do not attend in order to see sweet lily be baptized. oh, my word - it was precious. i could not stop the tears.
since we actually had a few minutes to spare (shockingly!) - i pulled out the dreaded camera. the boys {all 3!} were less than thrilled to say the least. it looks like i am the one in pain - have not figured out how to smile with all the metal in my mouth. very awkward.
we did make it out the door, enjoyed a beautiful service, had a quick lunch together, and little down time before i had to face my office again. we are also in the middle of looking for a very used, commuter car for me to avoid all of the miles i rack up on the suv going back and forth to school. we may have found one, and will meet with the man in the morning. it is very fun to drive and the boys love it. however, there are not many things more stressful (in the scheme of not really that important category) for me than a vehicle, it literally makes me sick! just praying it works out the way it should.....

{cooking....well, kinda}
my family is starving. they think i am cooking in the kitchen when i am actually microwaving leftovers.
but, i am reading about cooking. does that count? this is the best book ever!
back to the heat of the kitchen from all that energy that the microwave is cranking out. standing over a cold stove - reading.

{to my friends}
my website and photography blog are being updated. i had to send her multiple pictures and she will pull and decide on what to use. i just wanted to give you a heads-up because there was no way I could choose and if your baby or child or family is up - it was totally a random thing. Or, maybe what would work best with whatever frame she was working in.
i just don't want to hurt any feelings. and all of your kiddos are too stinkin' cute!
but.......they will be updated...
even i don't know who is going up at this point......

{ransacked v disarray}
it's quite the long story. you know me, they always are.
to keep it brief, let's just say that last night when the two nice officers from the sheriff's department were going through our house after the alarm went off, none of us could get into the house as the garage door would not open (no, we don't seem to have keys around here)......
we finally got in and his first question....has this office been ransacked?
nope. she's just really, really busy with work. stacks and stacks of records. binders that were once standing collapsed to their sides, etc...
how pathetic is that?!? i was mortified.
i called my office! got a chuckle there as well.
note to self: make certain everything is in order before you leave your house. you never know who may come a callin'.
and, james carter: you will laugh when you find out exactly why we could not get inside the house! good grief...

{look down, please}
see that first picture of noah down a bit. the two thumbs up?
that is exactly what he looked like this morning. well, you know...without the goggles and the wonderful beach, and glorious sun. but, he did have the wet hair.
i got that expression when he ate a batch of pioneer woman pancakes. yumo! and, no, he had no clue that sour cream was the key ingredient. he just went on and on and on about how great they were.
mission accomplished! happy friday sweet boy!

{ready to go back}
so is he!
the cutest thing EVER! an ice cream boat - complete with music! not so cute...noah dropping his $3 ice cream in the sand - so he ate mine!
totally out of order....but our hotel. will very likely never get to stay in a place like that again. as tonia would say..."absolutely dreamy."
doesn't that sound like Tonia? :)
this is before we went to the boat - reverse order, as always! but, i was actually taking ice cream orders as everyone else was in the water. took me back to my days at "dixie bell". another story {or two} for another day...
cannot wait to go back! that chair is calling my name!
