Hey

I don’t know if anyone is still reading this or not. Been busy here.

We bought a new stove over the weekend and it will be here on Friday. I cannot wait! We’ll have all the major appliances replaced. Yay! The stove we’re using has been here for 15 or so years. Sometimes one of the burners doesn’t really work that well. It’s a gas stove and one burner sometimes goes out when you put in on low. It will be nice to have something new to cook on and in. It was the last one, the floor model, but, it was in great shape. They took 10% off because it was the floor model, so we didn’t pay the full price. Best Buy’s price is about $250 higher than Lowe’s. I like it a lot and I cannot wait to use it! It’s a convection oven, has a storage drawer (believe me, you miss it when you don’t have it!), 5 burners and a griddle insert as well as a child lock for the stove door. We found some great plastic rings that slip over the knobs on our gas stove. We had been taking them off as we didn’t want the little girlie to light a burner! They sell them at Lowe’s for anyone that may have little ones and stove knobs that are counter level.

We painted our little powder room last weekend. Started on Friday night, finished on Saturday night. It’s tiny, so we worked in shifts. I think it took us 4 hours total. Easiest paint job we’ve done! Hubby rolled the walls to a certain level, I finished that later, from that point to the floor. I took brushes and little rollers behind the toilet and under and around the sink. I eventually want to replace the lighting in there, as well as add some photos and a corner shelf.

This Saturday we’re off to the oldest’s place for the day. We’re driving up Saturday morning and spending most of the day up there. She’s going to follow us Saturday night and spend the night as Sunday is Father’s Day. :smile: She was here last Sunday for the day, we thought her boyfriend was going to join us, but he had tire issues. He picked up a nail and they didn’t have the tire in stock, so he couldn’t join us as it was a 4 hour wait. We went to my friends house for a few hours on Saturday. I have some great photos of the little girlie and her mommy feeding the horses!

I have to upload photos to Flickr, I have the little girlie’s party as well as last weekend to upload. Hopefully today it will be done, at least started.

TTFN! :kiss:

A month

Wow, it’s been a long time since I updated. I’m sorry. :kiss: I still love you guys!

I’ve been pretty busy since landing at home after Vegas.

We had a great time on our vacation, but, 7 days is too long for me. I was ready to go home on day 5. We did a lot of things. Hoover Dam, Red Rock, Atomic Testing Lab, racing around the Las Vegas Speedway in a tour bus at 98 m.p.h., seeing Cobra cars, the Air Force Base. I did win at the video blackjack game. $200 profit!! We met up with a friend out there and her boyfriend. We toured Freemont St., had dinner and some laughs. We watched the overhead projection as Queen played on the street. We saw two comedians, show girls, ate at buffets, saw pink flamingos. We were HOT though, it was the hottest week in May ever recorded. Geeeze. Remember how we didn’t want to go on our actual 25th anniversary because it’s in the middle of July? Whatever! *LOL* I think it was in the 98-99 degree range every day except for Sat, then it hit 101 and Sunday we left, which was good as it was 102 that day. We had a cute little car as a rental, but, hubby wasn’t the main driver, I was. I know my way around Vegas pretty well now. We never went to Area 51, that’s the only thing we planned and didn’t do. We were busy enough and we relaxed a lot. :smile:

There’s a small business trade show tomorrow evening that I’m participating in and it’s my first! I’ve been getting ready for it since the beginning of May, let’s hope it pays off! I have give-aways and hopefully some sessions on the books after tomorrow night! I have two senior class sessions this month and one first birthday party next month. I just photographed my first Senior Ambassador for 2010 yesterday and I will be editing her photos today. Hopefully putting in the order for her 100 free business cards to pass around school. School is out on Friday, so we’ll see how that goes. Maybe I will get some sort of word of mouth out of that. I know that her mom will be buying prints, she definitely will she said.  I’ve changed my website around a little bit, I did that before leaving for Vegas. I actually was told that I need to change my policy about birthday parties as someone cannot afford my rates so that means her friends cannot. Um, no.

My weight loss is going well. I’ve been trying to get to the gym during the week, although it’s been challenging some days. I hope to be at my goal weight by this time next month, but if not, it’s not a biggie. We just bought the Active game thing for the Wii and I will have to try that out this week when I can. My gym is putting in new machines this week, one circuit is of the band machines. Very cool! I have a doc appt. on Wednesday. Cholesterol check, rx and just to meet the doc.

The little girlie is growing by leaps and bounds. I have an entire CD of images of her from May and from her bday party. Next week I will make time to post some to our Flickr account. I promise!

We were going to paint the powder room last month, but, our dishwasher died. We have a new one now, thank God for Lowe’s. It’s a black Kitchenaid and I love it. Hopefully sometime this weekend or next weekend we can paint.

Hubby and I went to see Star Trek in IMAX while we were in Vegas. And we saw Angels and Demons a few weekends ago. I want to take the little girlie and her mom to see Up sometime soon, maybe Friday.

This weekend we are visiting one of my old friends…she lives about an hour from us. They have a ranch, horses and a pool! I’m taking my camera and my bathing suit.

I have been reading blogs when I can, but, I haven’t been commenting a lot. I’m reading though! :kiss: TTFN!
