Tomorrow is the day... My baby girl gets back form Vegas.
I can't wait!
She did get to meet Elvis while she was there!
On another note....
Did anyone watch Jon & Kate + 8 last night?
How sad. I hate to see anyone get a divorce, but when there is 8 kids its extra sad.
It sure makes me thank God for all the blessings I have.
I reminded my husband last night that he could never leave me, because I would hunt him down like a dog for I would be lost without him.
This is a pretty bad picture, but the sign says...
Our shopping carts will lock if taken beyond the parking lot perimeter. While distinctive yellow lines mark the normal exits, the entire perimeter is protected.
It is true!
I had to try it, I could not help myself, I had to know.
Yep those wheels lock right up. Then a very grumpy Walgreens employee will have to come out with the fancy smancy remote & unlock the wheels. Then she frowns at you, even if you smile and say " Opps..I guess I parked really close to the perimeter!"
My sweet baby girl left me for Vegas tonight. She actually boarded a plane and abandoned me flew to Las Vegas for a week. Her and a girlfriend went for a week to be with family of her friend. I just let my 17 year old baby girl go to VEGAS!!! I need valium!
I'm praying that she...
1. Won't become a show girl
2. Won't get married (by Elvis)
3. Will stay away from the tattoo parlor
4. Won't say " I can double your money"
5. Doesn't find out how much strippers can make!
6. I pray she acts like Mommy not Daddy! :-)
I also hope she has the time of her life!!!
I do have a bit of a control issues. So I will struggle the next week with her being away. I also tend to worry ALOT! I'm going to try my best to relax and think positive. I know she will have a fabulous time.
I am concerned about the show girl thing! :-)
I'm pretty sure I busted her practicing her moves today!

Last Friday on my way to work I decide I NEED Starbucks. So I take my cute little self out for a latte. Keep in mind that it is a Friday morning at 7:30. Lots of poeple also getting there lattes. So I order my venti iced coffee with sugar free hazelnut. As I wait I am talking to my sister on my cell. I know.. total rudness!
I'm just a chatin' away, when all of the sudden I hear a loud crashing and shattering sound. It dawns on me that it is the sound of glass breaking. LOTS of glass breaking. For a split second I pray that it was not me. I turn around to see that some idiot knocked over the whole display. About .5 seconds later I relize I am that idiot! As I'm talking I don't relize how close my big ole butt is to the display and knock it over. Yes people, OVER as in on the ground.
3 french presses
several glass coffee mugs
and alot of traveling car cups.
They all go crashing down. Glass shattering everywhere.
Of coarse the first thing I do is look for someone else to blame. No one was within a 3 foot area, except me! I didn't even have my kids with me. I so would have blamed my kids. And then bought them a dog or something to make up for it. But oh no just me.
The lady was nice, but I know they are still talking about the moron that can't control the direction of her own butt.
Needless to say I can never go into that Starbucks again. Now I have to drive all the way across own to get my fix.
So next time your day sucks, just think.... At least I didn't knock over $200 worth of Starbucks crap!
It was absolutely fabulous! We went for our second year and walked away so pleased! It is just the best. We both found some great finds. ( we will go over those next time.) But I think the best part was the people. No joke when I say everyone is so nice.
We stood in line with the sweetest ladies. The group in front of us was a hoot! The gals behind us were just wonderful to visit with.
We participated in the Blog Badge idea that Kim @ Camp Whimsy came up with. Each of us bloggers would wear a badge with our blog name on it. So we could put a face with the blog. Brilliant! It was such a great way to meet other bloggers. And it drew attention to our blog.Thank you Kim!
Funny thing is we ran into several bloggers but not Kim! She came up with the idea and we didn’t even get to meet her. Maybe next time!
Here is who we were lucky enough to meet!
We ran into Timi of A Girl Named Timi & her great friend Laura of WSU Laura. They were so funny! Timi cracks me up. I have never met Laura before, OHhhh she is equally as funny. The two of them together. Watch Out!
I need to give a shout out to Timi. She is after all a big reason we are bloggers! We met her at last years show. She gave me her card and I loved her blog so well, I guess I wanted to copy her!
Angie had suggested we blog for quite awhile, but I wasn’t sold on the idea. Then after last years show I started nosing around blogs. I fell in love! Angie was right, she told me we would love it!
We also met Lisa form A Thing For Roses ~ She is just precious. So sweet, and a gorgeous booth!
We ran into Laurie form Magpie Ethel. She is gorgeous and so kind. She was shopping with her sweet mother. They were having a blast.
Elaine from Tinker Verve had a great booth. She spent some of her time visiting with us.
Auntie Joy was there with her great booth. She welcomed us so sweetly into the bloggy world.
Arlene from Heart rocks Home. She had the best bags! UH, I had to have one. She was so sweet! She told me she loved my laugh! That made my day.
I know we met some more but I can’t remember their names. Please forgive me. ( you all know I am raising teenagers) I shall say no more!
I’m sorry this is so long. The whole point is the ladies are so sweet, and welcoming! It was a pleasure to get to meet and visit with all of them.
By the way... We heard there were a couple gals that came from Georgia! We met two gals that came from Florida!!!!!!!
On my....
The Farm Chicks Show was AMAZING! I can't say it enough!
We saw some beautiful things. Met some amazing women. Got some great treasures.
I will post more later!
But.... I did get to meet these lovely ladies..
They autographed my cookbook!
It went liked this!
Waited in line.
They asked my name, Teri commented about my Blog Badge.
I gave them my card for this blog.
They smiled.
I smiled.
They signed my book.
We are heading north to Spokane this weekend for the most fab show ever. We went last year and had the best time. So many great vendors and the people... Crowds of people, but the amazing thing is I don't remember one single crabby person. Everyone is so nice. Its like a big party!
Kim at Camp Whimsy came up with the brilliant idea to make blog badges, so we could pick each other out. Even though Angie and I are pretty new to the bloggy world we thought why not. After seeing what an awesome job Timi did we just had to.
SOOOOOOOOOO..... Here are our blog badges...
