a breather

29th April 2010 | 0 Comments

it’s thursday and we’re taking a breather. we’re skipping Bible study (the last one until the fall) b/c i felt we needed a day to just… sit. play. relax. not run around. that doesn’t mean we won’t end up going somewhere or doing something, but it does mean that we’re not rushing from one thing [...]

through the years, despite my thick, full-bodied hair, i could never get it to go curly. so it was straight. always straight:      and then davey was born. and brandi started thinning my hair. and curly was the best and easiest option:    and dave prefers my hair curly to straight.    so for [...]

so i was reading one of my favorite blogs this morning and found this:  a quote from Emerson: "Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well [...]

happy monday

19th April 2010 | 0 Comments

happy monday, i think!   dave and i sat down this weekend and created a list of items we NEED to get (like car repairs and expensive oil changes/tune-ups) and some things we’d LIKE to get with our income tax refund. i’m pleased to say that an iTouch for davey is NOT on the list. [...]


time for another blist

17th April 2010 | 2 Comments

(blist = blog list)   1. dave wasn’t going to tell me how much our income tax refund is going to be b/c he wanted to buy something. he wasn’t sure what, though. silly man. i did get the number out of him (in case you were worried) and i wouldn’t be surprised if we [...]

GLEE…. our taxes were submitted at 7 p.m. yesterday. whew! he submitted them 3 hours EARLIER than he did last year! (dave did come home early from work to get them done.) AND we’re getting a rebate. dave said he probably could’ve found a few more deductions but he just wanted to get them done. [...]
