Travel N along with Mr. Know it all!

Ok, I'm way up on the high-tech list - with the ability to travel in the car on the way to my daughter's with this computer up and running and blogging! Wow! We purchased a wifi card (thanks to Greg who travels and lets his wife drive while he works constantly from the car) and now we can email and not miss a bit of biz while traveling.
Ya know traveling with M sometimes drives me crazy ! He loves to turn the radio (CD, or whatever George Strait tune is playing) up REALLY loud and play it about 90 times. He thinks that driving gives him all rights to burn others ear drums out. (Can you tell I'm totally exasperated with him?) Ah, love and the things you put up with - Like his wonderful sense of direction that told me and the GPS woman that he knew a better way (faster and shorter) to get to our destination. Then after roaming around for what seemed like hours and thousands of stop lights in unsafe lookings sides of town, it's my fault that we're lost! Later he actually asked me to appologize that I said he was wrong. I hope I make it to our destination still loving him!

Let N you know

Since I don't blog much, I'm doing this - although its just alittle info and not something interesting to write about. But just to let you know:
E spent the night last night. We went to Waffle House (not my favorite place, but Mike's) because E likes to sit and watch the cooks prepare his meal. He ate well, which is a Big Deal with us since 2 year olds don't eat alot. He also has started a few new things - one being that he doesn't like to bathe! I had to do some fast talking and the promise that he could take his new musical instrument (harmonica) to the bath tub with him. Did I mention that we also got him a drum set with Maracha's and a tambourine and the harmonica? He can march really good playing the harmonica and he can also drum like a pro! He even has created a remarkably smart routine by throwing his sticks in the air when he's finished (I suppose to signify his routine is over!) He slept through church this morning and woke up grumpy but soon recouped.
He's such a blessing and joy for us to keep and we love him sooooooooo much!
Next week we get to see the most beautiful girl in the world , my sweet Adalie ! I can't wait for those kisses and sweet smiles.
Then upon our return I am being awarded an award in the State Capitol in the Rotunda for Workforce Business leader of the Year. Should be interesting !
Then the fun of a girls trip to Arkansas which replaces our Vegas trip. We waited too late to book flights and such , so we decided to go on a road trip. I've planned some of it so far, but we really plan to make decisions as we go. We may stay longer, or we may move on to another city. We all just want some time away from work and "things" and want to "chill".
Today I planted flowers in my pots out in the yard. Mandevilla vines will soon bloom on either side of my garage door. I hate that plants are so expensive, but love the beauty and thrill of planting them.
Tomorrow we feed about 40 of our vendors for a thank you luncheon and the week starts again for us working girls!

Born out of inspiration of others

Born out of inspiration
I'm joining Kim in giving everyone a taste of my favorites: Glamorous Wash by Tyler Candle company - I was feeling stupid for spending this much money on laundry soap until I used it and fell completely in love with the scent that lingered for days upon my wash. There are alot of different scents but I like this one - Kathina!


Spanx - They are comfy, non binding, and slimming as advertised. No more panty line girls!



My favorite morning coffee - Gevalia - Tassimo Latte and
Capachino and my great Tassimo machine that delivers individual
cups of coffee without making a whole pot.
Thanks to my husband for purchasing this (even though he knows that things that plug in aren't
always a good idea for gift giving to spouses.
