Snow Day in Frazier Park,

2010-02-01T16:45:00.000-08:00

What a day hit the road at 8:30am stopped at McDonalds for breakfast in Fillmore and then headed up the hill. Soooooo much fun, lots of snow and it was 41 degrees. We went to spend the day with Bonnie and Mark. Snowball fights, building a Snowman, Yummy lunch and headed back home at 5:00pm. It was 7:00pm when we got home, a long day but well worth it.......

Easter Day

2009-04-14T19:55:00.000-07:00

Easter was a nice and lazy day. My girls got home from their New York vacation at 1am Easter Sunday. They had a blast and loved the city. They came home and asked if we could move there. Bonnie came over for dinner and colored eggs with us. Mark was at work so she took him a plate. What a wonderful day.

I can't believe its Easter

2009-04-10T22:42:00.000-07:00

The girls come home tomorrow night around mid-night. I can't wait I haven't seen them for a week. Their Dad took them to New York. They are having so much fun. They asked if we could move there. They've been so busy from morning to night. Seeing all New York has to offer. I better watch out they just might decide its the city for them. They are both artsy people. Well I better get fresh beds and easter baskets ready for the girls when they come home.

Spring Break .....

2009-03-28T22:32:00.000-07:00

These are two of my favorite People. Bonnie and Mark.
They run the best scrapbook retreat in California. Bonnie and I will be in hiding for 5 days no Mom's or Kid's. I can't wait until Saturday. We are going to do whatever we want to do when we want to. It should be fun. I know we will get in some shopping. Maybe take a drive to find the wild flowers. It will be relaxing and long awaited down time for both of us!!!

Boy would I like to be there right now....

2009-03-13T21:48:00.001-07:00

This is the life.... someday this will be me and my Night in Shinny Armor. I've always wanted an airstream trailer, and that sky...WOW!!!! That is my night in shinny armor. Some day my Night will come....

Wow, what a fun day!!!

2009-03-11T22:01:00.000-07:00

Today Bonnie and I went hunting for vintage goodies for swaps. And of course I found the most adorable doll that I used to have when I was about 4 or 5. My grandfather used to collect them for me when he filled up the gas tank at the local station. It brings back old memories. I ended up with 3 new dolls. I think they were called Dolls from around the World or Story Book Dolls. I found some on e-bay and bought a few more like four more. What a wonderful day and some wonderful memories.

Spring forward...

2009-03-08T10:14:00.001-07:00

I love this time of the year Spring Forward..... Which means spring is coming and the nights will last longer. No longer will I come home after work to darkness! Well I slept in until 8:30 this morning, WOW, I can never sleep that late I'm an early riser I always have been. I thought this cupcake was sooo adorably yummy looking!!! I girls will be heading to New York the week before Easter with their Dad to see their Grandma Anne (his Mom). So I'm taking off that week to hang out with Bonnie we both need time to recharge. It will be fun!!! Fraizer Park here I come!!!

2009-02-28T08:09:00.001-08:00

I knew it was comming...

2009-02-27T23:34:00.001-08:00

I was off work on Monday and returned on Tuesday to find out that my hours have been cut to 20 hours a week. Yiks, I knew it was coming but wow not this fast. OK I need to make some money. I told my best bud we need to get crack-N. She is stuck at home taking care of her Mom and is home bound most of the time. She set up her etsy store and I told her she needs to clear off the table so we can get to work, and if that doesn't work I'm not to proud to stand in line at collect food stamps or what ever else I qualify for. I've been working since I was 15. I want to check into going back to school and get retrained. I'm praying on this matter and I hope I get my answer soon.

I just joined a st. patty's swap
