Top 10 Things I Look Forward To…


So here it is…

My list.

The list of things I look forward to.  This list is a combination of “bucket list” items and everyday items and “someday dreams” items.  It’s not put into order by my most important item as #1, it’s more in timeline order.

As I sat down to write this list I realized there are so many more things I could put on here.  The “little things”…like watching Gabi run cross-country races this fall, or her basketball games.  Or seeing Sam off to her 2nd year at college…and the daily phone calls when she’s gone.  Or the chances I get to see Alex, Tom and my adorable grandpuppy Louis (snorts and all).

Holy Hanna-andy What a Day!


You know the joke about skidding into death saying “Wow – what a ride!”?

I feel like that is appropriate for today.

And no…I don’t know where the saying ‘holy hanna-andy’ came from…

It’s just one of those saying that pops into my mind from time to time.

No rhyme nor reason…

ANYWAYYYYYY…..

It was just one of those days –

Woke up with a tension headache.

Quick coffee, breakfast treat, shower and on the road again…

4 hour round trip, dr’s appt, quick Menard’s stop and back in town just in time (ok a few minutes late) for our Young Life committee meeting.

2 hours later I get home to a daughter that wants to go to a sleepover (oops, my honey forgot we were getting family pictures taken in the morning)…needless to say the 12 year old was thrilled with having to change her plans.

A friend then stopped by to purchase one of our old bikes…

A LOVELY dinner made by my honey (God I love that man)…

Another friend stopped by to purchase the girls old Gameboy for her grandson.

And at last, here I am.

Visiting with you, sharing my story, with chocolate covered almonds and a glass of wine….

Aaaaahhhhhhh….

Much better.

Oh and in the background…the show Castle on TV.

And I’m on my newly cleaned (from baby urp) couch.

Thanking God that this day is just about done and bedtime will be here soon.

The babies are back tomorrow…and there’ll be pictures…and there’ll be fun…

And hopefully there won’t be any baby urp!

I hope your day was a little less hectic – feel free to tell me about your day in the comments section!  I’d love to have an actual conversation with you!

That’s all for now friends,

I’ll meet up with you again tomorrow.
