Today is the day...
MoViNg DaY...
I moved into my very own office complete with a wall of windows and.....DrUm RoLl PlEaSe.....A DOOR!
Woot! Finally I feel like my "Operations Manager" title.
I mentioned to Ryan that I really liked this ring when I saw it on the front of the Helzburg Diamonds ad that came in the mail a few months ago. So needless to say, this is what I found when I opened my Mothers Day gift! What a good Husband....
It's a little boy and his sister and one I didn't have! To top that all of my husband vacummed the house and the two older kids cleaned the bathrooms! Wow! This was my favorite gift of all!
Last night I came home to see my neighbor from across the street, in my front yard, in my flowers, CHOPPING DOWN MY ROSE BUSHES! What the H E Double L!!!
This was not provoked, infact I take after my Father and keep my front yard very pruned and always bloomed with seasonal flowers. Just this past Sunday I planted all new flowers in my flowerbed and potted 5 pots around my front door. After planting I picked some dead bulbs off my rose bushes and admired how gorgeous the newly sprouted blooms were. I have had four different bushes, one white, one hot pink, one orange and one light pink.
I was SO in shock that I marched myself right past her into the house without even a glance at her. Appalled I walked into the back yard to find Ryan and told him what she was doing. He was dumbfounded and really didn't believe me, saying, "What?? The kids had planned to pick the roses and give them to you on Mothers Day".
So, what do I do about this trespassing nose-body of a neighbor? It's a small cult-a-sac and I don't want to make a enemy, but come on, she so crossed the line!
Today was the funeral for my co-worker who passed away very unexpectedly last week.
There was a vocalist who sang two of my favorite songs. Wind beneath my Wings and Amazing Grace.
It was a beautiful service and standing room only. People were bursting at the seems in the small family ran mortuary. The flowers were fresh smelling and cascaded from tall easels to small pedestals.
The graveside service consisted of one solitary white dove flying off into the distance and then a group of three white doves following shortly after to represent him and then his wife and two children.
I've been struggling with work lately. The mortgage industry just isn't fun like it use to be. This week was particularly stressful, so when my Mom called me and suggested a ditch day, of course I was game!
We went to the Gardens and SHOPPED, SHOPPED, SHOPPED! While on our little shopping spree we giggled and talked and had some Mother-Daughter time.
Ryan was thrilled that I was taking a day with my Mom, he gave a cash budget and a condition. He wanted me to buy a new bathing suit. So, I took the money and agreed! Here is my purchase at Macy's, isn't it CUTE!
After the 2.5 hour venture in Macy's, we went to New York & Co., Talbots, and my personal favorite Ann Taylor!
So all in all we had a productive day purchasing dresses, shorts, tanktops bathing suits and of course....
Thanks for the time away MOM and Ryan.
P.S. Michelle I miss our shopping ventures too! I think you should visit soon!
UGH! I quit!?@!!

Today I received a email from a good friend that made me cry. I love those kind. The ones that are so touching that you get goose bumps.
The moral behind the email was as follows:
"Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits, they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
These thoughts are so true. I think about it and I'm a daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, employee and an employer. Every person I come in contact with I need to remember to apply these simple thoughts.
Today is the day.
The procrastinated DENTIST appointment.
I've been on antibiotics for 3 weeks for a abscess.
Today will be a root canal.
My palms are sweaty and I'm nauseous.
I asked of they could just pull the tooth out to avoid the root canal, but I was shot down.
I loathe, no hate the dentist!
