“Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans”

said Mr. Lennon. I kind of feel like this lately. I run around all of the time and don't feel like I get anything done or I talk about what I am going to do when I get more time. It's been so slow at work lately with the lousy housing market and over-excited doomsday-loving media and all. I've been going back to work on Mondays just to get some rest. Maybe I just feel real busy because I've been so slow at work that I am not used to actually having things to do. Nah, I'm just very busy and important :-) I even skipped game night so that I could do some laundry and clear my surfaces (and write this post). I've been falling behind on my blog reading and flickr browsing. I just saw this today. I think its such a cute idea. I have a lot of Pez. Probably enough to cover several walls. I've been collecting it since high school and now I have way too many to keep up with. I have some display shelves that my Dad made me but my collection has out grown them so I packed them away. This is a good idea just sticking them to the wall. Why didn't I think of that?

Happy Wooden Anniversary, Alex! I love you!

Thanks Jeff and Mama!

Right now I am sitting on our hotel balcony watching the ocean while Alex sleeps. We got our jeep back and we parked it on the top level of the parking garage where we can see it from the balcony. Alex and I have been pressing the panic button on the key fob and making the alarm go off. For some reason it seems really funny because its far away and no one knows it's us. We have to check out soon and go back to G'ville, I don't want to go home but I miss my doggies. It was so sweet of my parents to give us a little get away! The weather has been perfect around 80 degrees. We were worried that it would be too cold to swim but it warmed up just in time.

Yesterday we went to a seafood restaurant and as we were leaving we got stopped by a lady trying to get us to go to a timeshare meeting. She wouldn't let us leave and she kept offering us free vacations and cash just to come to her meeting. I kept telling her that we were not interested and she didn't listen. Then she asked Alex, what do you think sir? and he said "I have to go to the bathroom" It was soooo funny! The perfect thing to say because she let us leave right away. I will have to remember that one!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Back to the grind tomorrow but I have a short week. Friday is my bday and I will be taking the day off of work. Yipeee!

Busy, Busy, Busy

So much has been going on around here. My car is still in the shop, so far 2 weeks = 6 weeks. My parents rented me and Alex a hotel suite at Myrtle Beach with a jacuzzi for our Anniversary/my Birthday gift. Our Anniversary is this Friday and we will be married for 5 years! My B-day is the next Friday and we are going to the casino in Cherokee because they are having a mixed martial arts event with a real UFC fighter. Alex is very excited, I guess I am too.

Speaking of weddings. . .my little sis, Julie, got engaged this weekend. She sporting some major bling. I am so happy for her, but I feel really old!

See Ya Summer

The weather is getting cooler, we made the first fire of the season in the pit a few days ago. Maybe a little too early but we have Fall Fever. Alex and I are starting the Couch-to-5K running plan on Monday since the temp has dropped. I am so excited that he is doing it with me. I have the best husband in the world (aww)

Rachael's birthday is Monday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACH! We went out for Indian food last night to celebrate and then I beat her in a game of Soc and Ticket to Ride as a birthday gift. Just Kidding! That wasn't your gift :-)

Also, I want one of these! I think I want to get the Betty 1, as a tribute to my Nana.

Awesome!

I was searching here for a two player set up for SoC and I came across this photo. That guy is so lucky! I have been planning a patchwork project, this is going in Ye Olde Inspiration Journal.

Late Labor Day Post

I've been really busy and I almost forgot that I promised Neighbor Mark that I would post the results of the 1st Annual Greer Labor Day Croquet Invitational.

Congrats, Mark on your first place victory! Next year will be even better and no one will be admitted without proper croquet attire (ahem...Shaylan)
