Visitors!

The past two weeks have been full of fun and vacation! First, my friend came to visit from KY; we did all kinds of interesting things from "mudding" ourselves on the beach (like a mudmask for your whole body) to getting pedicures (my toes are a beautiful hot pink now). She was here for a week, then about 4 days later I had more visitors!

This is one of the visitors that came on Thurday, April 15th...AKA MY BIRTHDAY!! My parents came for a few days and brought this lovely friend along. It may look like a hamburger, but it tastes like heaven. Cake, brownie, cookie, and icing all in one - this should be illegal. Good thing it's not!

Anyway, I had a wonderful time with my family and friends! Wish they could be here everyday :)

The Horror of Springtime

What? Horrors in the Spring? Yes, I know we usually think of flowers, rolling green meadows, bunny rabbits, and singing birdies...but lurking just around the corner is the "C" word. CLEANING. Whoever thought of making it an annual event to RUIN the springtime needs serious counselling! This cursed event finally knocked on my door and shoved its way in. It forced me to scrub the shower, wipe down the mirrors, vacuum, and wash the sheets and pillows; but these are nothing compared to the grandaddy of them all - filtering through the closet. I always thought I was a pretty neat person...until I opened my closet door. Why I hang on to shirts that "hover" at my waist and skirts that don't stay up, I'll never know, but it's time for them to go! Goodbye old, hello not-so-old (I haven't done much shopping lately).
Well, I guess this unwelcomed visitor did leave me with a small sense of accomplishment, but not enough accomplishment to make me do it more than once a year!

Here I am

After years of reading and admiring my sister's blog and seeing everyone else create their own, I have finally taken that giant leap. It may be pretty boring and uneventful, but hey! Why not give it a shot? I do some fun things, travel to some interesting places, and have some random thoughts to share, so... here I go!
