Catching up

At the urging of a dear friend of mine....thru text message none the less, she sweetly reminded me how I have not blogged in like...a really long time. I personally blame Pinterest, cause thats basically what I do online now. I also blame my beautiful children....they demand a lot of time yo.

Anywho....

Ive got some ideas rolling around in my head for some blog topics. So stay tuned.

In the meantime... here's just an update about our life...and some random stuff thrown in.

Enjoy.

1. I have a job.....well like a partime-partime job (was is that? Like 1/4 of a job?)....
I am now the Wedding Director at our church. I am very excited about this opportunity and looking forward to serving in this ministry area and assisting couples on their big day. I have learned a lot from the ladies who have served in this area before. I have had the priveledge of directing one wedding so far. I have learned that thus so far...
 a. It is important to really push down on the candles in the candleabras, so they do not pop out and shoot upward in the middle of the wedding ceremony.
b. Bring Tums for the wedding party

2. I turned 31 a few days ago...and I honestly had a panic stricken moment where I could not remember if I was turning 31 or 32. My husband reassured me it was 32....and then I smacked him in the shoulder when I realized it was really 31.


3. My girl turned 2 this April. She ridiculous. And adorable. Ridiculously adorable if you will. Her loves at the moment: Cailou, referring to herself  as "Rosie" (Cailou's little sister), ....wearing hats, wearing tutus, wearing her boots (sometimes all three of these things at one time)...and drawing. Much to her artsy mommy's happiness.                               


See? The Force is strong with this one.

4. We had a big decision to make concerning our little guy. His birthday falls a few days shy of the kindergarten cutoff...and seeing how he is reading on at the very least a  3rd grade level, can do simple math, knows the name of every state, its capital, almost every country (Thank you Animaniacs) and the facts of all 9 ...err...8 planets (Sorry Pluto! It's a DWARF planet, Mommy!...does this fact fall ill with anyone else?? Hands? Pluto's planetary knighthood just stripped away. I digress... )
and the names of the major stars in the Universe....we decided to get this boy tested and we are proud to say he will be starting Kindergarten at a private school this fall. I am so proud of him and excited. I cant believe he is starting school already.

5. I am going to try out for the sixth time, to get on the Mickey Moms Panel. Here's hoping. ...I am assuming you know what the Mickey Mom Panel is....and more than likely....cause many of you do not suffer from Disney-nerditis like me...you probably don't know. Basically a "go-to" Disney board for people who have questions about Disney and need a "mom's point of view." So wish me some geek-luck come September.

6. I am not reading Fifty Shades of Gray
7. I am not watching Keeping up with the Kardashians. (who can really keep up anyway?)
8. I did not see Boys Gone Wild...er Channing Tatum Shirtless: The Movie...Magic Mike...whatever.

9. I am trying to kick my coffee habit with Green Tea...and surprisingly its working..for now.

10. Kicking my chocolate habit with carrot sticks.....not working.

11. I have opened somewhat of a "shop" on Facebook...featuring my art. (also due to the urging of friends) And have been completely blown away/humbled, by the response. I received many requests for orders. This was a HUGE struggle within my mind. I love art. I love to paint, I love to be creative....putting price on my art is weird for me....not in that snooty way of like "Oh honey, you can't put a price on ART." :::snort snort:::....
More like...."What the heck do I charge people for doing something I LOVE to do?" I am slowly coming to terms with being comfortable of charging people for creating works of art, I fall in love with each time as I make them.



12.. I have eaten entirely too many cheez-its while typing this...but I was drinking Green Tea...so it should all even out, yes?

Cheers! Till next time!
