Long Weekend

The In-laws were in town this weekend and that gave us some time to get away and have an adult weekend. It was a win win situation as they got Bella all to themselves and we all got to do things we can't do with Bella.

Adam had a geocaching event he wanted to go to on Sat so he headed there and Mom & I headed to Louisville to shop and go the casino. We went to the outlet mall and my score for the weekend was at the Croc's store I got Bella 3 pairs of them for a mere $22. It was a great sale. Then we went to the hotel and took a nice peaceful nap and then got up ,showered and hit the casino. We both lost but had a nice time. Adam cached his way to Louisville after the event to meet us.

Then we got up Sunday and he went on another caching misson in the city so Mom and I went to see Slumdog Millionaire. It was a great movie.Then we met Adam for a nice adult dinner at Outback. Mom headed home and we headed to see Gran Torino. It was Adam's pick but I really liked it way more than I thought I would.
Then we got up Monday morning and decided to climb a mountain. There is a geo cache on the top of a very steep hill in Southern Indiana overlooking the Ohio river. It is a burial vault called "Captain McHarry's Vault" Let me tell you it was a whopper.
Then we met up with a bunch of other cachers who came down to cache in Louisville from Indy. It was a great weekend. How was yours?

Don't Ask

Let me preface this post with this statement "I love my friends but they have way way to much time on their hands when they go dumping their entire purse for others to see on the internet.

I do however love said friends and dearly want to please them so here goes.

I was asked to do a "Purse Dump". You dump your purse and take a picture and list all of the junk you have in it. In my "mother" friends eyes I guess I'd be referred to as a minimalist.

Here goes:

One black WELL worn wallet-If I went into it's contents we'd be here all night!

My Cell Phone

My MP3 Player

2 red pens

1 red marker-maybe I was a teacher in a former life

Scissors

Eucerin hand cream-my hands are so chapped & this weather does NOT help.

Gas Receipt-Do NOT tell Adam but I paid 4 cents more per gallon to have someone pump today.

Kleenex pocket pack

2 Dining certificates from restaurants.com

Paycheck stub-Adam's direct deposit didn't go through this week for some unknown reason.

Pill bottle-it's a prescription bottle but it's filled with Wal-Mart brand Ibuprofen.

Stretchy Headband

Comb

1 Lipstick-"Just Mauvey" by Maybelline

2 Lip gloss-One that sets a certain friends lips a fire

1 cherry carmex

1 lip liner

2 pennies

7 wrapped toothpicks

I'm DONE! That was not so bad huh?

Oh yeah in my spare time last weekend I did this little number for my boss's son's wedding. It's not usually in my job description but I made the topper too!

Merry Belated Christmas

Here's our Tree

Ok Finally I have managed to take a brief moment to upload a few pics of our wonderful Merry Christmas 2008. We had a great Holiday.Below is the Christmas dress Grandma made for Bella this year.
Bella and her Daddy

This is what she woke up to on Christmas morning. A brand new Dollhouse and a new TV. Which she now calls her TVD since it only plays movies. We decided not to hook it up to cable just yet.

Grandma made her Christmas Nightgown too!

Her new cool Princess slippers.

Also my 1st Build-A-Bear experience. Thanks a lot Linda. (NOT) we made the mistake of going there the Friday after Christmas and let me tell you it took us 2 & 1/2 hrs to make 2 little stuffed reindeer.

All and all we had a wonderfully blessed season . Happy Birthday Jesus!

Here are a few closing shots of my family that I am always talking about so that my loyal 1 reader can match a name to the face.
My Cousin Lisa and her boyfriend Steve. Her son Mike and his wife Daphne below.

On a Mission
