remember me...?

Seriously? It's been 13 days since I last blogged? I think that may be a record. Or is it? I've been pretty MIA lately. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that my job has been super busy and so when I get home at night, I don't get on the computer like I used to. In fact, when I do check my email and blogs, it's on my little iPod Touch. That little gadget is handy to view things but not very handy to reply to emails or leave comments on blogs. So that, in a nutshell, is why I've been so quiet.

In case you were wondering, let me catch you up...

• April 24 - 27  - Hope and Kari came to Portland for a visit. I also got to see Cassondra, Jill, Andrea, Natalie, Lonnie and Amy over the long weekend! We shopped, took in some sights, dined and crafted! I can't believe I haven't shared picture! We had SO MUCH FUN! It was such a treat for me to have some of the best girlies at my house!

A few pics of meep and my peeps...

   

 
I promise to get some more pictures posted. We had a ton of fun!

• My foot is still hurting and I'm about ready to get a bullseye tattoo on the top of it so I'll know where to aim the gun when I've had enough.

• Okay ...I'm kidding but I am considering having foot surgery and be done with this aching flipper once and for all!

  

• Miranda made the announcement that she is going back to Maui for a few months. She'll be leaving in June. She had a housesitting job offer she absolutely couldn't refuse! I sure am going to miss her but she's happy...so I'm happy!!

• May 8 - had a very successful garage sale and got rid of tons of stuff I was done with. Also cleaned and reorganized my craft room and guest room leading up to the sale. After the garage sale, Glen and I went to a wonderful new local restaurant called Decarli's and spent most of my garage sale "winnings." The rest we spent tipping our favorite KJ when we went karaoke singing at Hollywood Bowl.

• May 9 - Mother's Day - had a fabulous day! Spent it with Glen and Miranda - we went to Porque No? for amazing fish tacos (where, btw, Miranda was scouted by a local fashion designer to do some modeling - this is the second time this has happened to her!). Then we went to ReBuidling Center, The Meadow, and then Peninsula Park Rose Garden for a perfect stroll and lounge in the sun. Afterwards, we went to Prost for snack-a-doodles and beers! Twas a full day and the weather was spectacular!

 

I think that brings me to today...home just a touch early from work since I had an orthodontist's appt. Got new bands on my braces. It's still going to be through June that I'll have these things. No end in sight just yet.

I've also been keeping myself busy working on a few collaborative projects, a journal from Hope and Kari's visit and a journal from Hope's Nostalgic Musings online class!

Lots to show you so I hope I make it back here sooner than I did last time!!! :-) Take care!
