snow day...

we have had the mildest winter i can ever remember for rhode island.

so much to skylar's delight...

we woke up to this yesterday morning...

yay! snow day!!!
bundled up & doing her best randy from *a christmas story* impression...
but wayyyyy cuter! who can resist this face?!?!



snowball fight with daddy -- skylar wins of course!
making snow angels -- although the snow was more like slush...



a fun day in the snow/slush!
of course by this morning it was all gone.
now we are on a *snow watch* because skylar is bound & determined to build a snowman this year!

autumn sky...

fall is upon us...
barely a leaf in the surrounding trees & definitely sweatshirt weather.

This & That...

HaPPy WedNesDaY!

So what’s up?
Well I dunno about the rest of the planet but I am feeling pretty nifty these days. Seriously – if I knew that I would feel THIS good THIS fast I would have gotten myself some Wellbutrin A LOT sooner than this.
Now, I am totally realistic and know that I am still adjusting and will continue to adjust to this medication for the next five weeks – so I cannot assume that I am *cured* just because I consistently feel happier than Elvis after a grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich. But I am hopeful and any improvement is improvement!
Even Brian says I am noticably *different*.
So fingers and toes crossed that this medication will continue to do what it’s doing. Because me likey!

So moving along…
I had to post these photos of Skylar’s garden because it is doing extremely AWESOME!

AFTER:

Wow, nice melons!
*smirk*

Oh and lookie – it’s Bruce the Spruce – my freebie tree from Home Depot on Earth Day – he flourishes!

AFTER:

Our little Dancing Queen…

She’s got MAD moves…

Just being cute in her white hat that I bought for the pool that she insists on wearing ALL THE TIME…

Who could resist that smile?
Certainly not I!

Baby blues -- she gets them from me!

So all in all -- life is good and getting steadily better.

SaTurDay: In Photos

Our day began simple enough – tubby-time and some PopTarts.
Please don’t call Child Protective Services on us because Skylar eats from a Frisbee – I told you we do ANYTHING in the name of her eating!


Then Skylar had a *photo shoot* at my work. My boss Amy took the photos – because Skylar would have paid no attention to me!
Here is a little taste…


This is her dress for her Cinderella Birthday Bash!


Aren’t they too stinkin’ cute?!?!
I L♥♥♥♥♥VE them!!!

The weather today has been ICKY!!!
Rain – which I am truly hoping will surpass us tomorrow as it is Skylar’s birthday party. We could move indoors but outside would be SO much nicer!
(I even did some weather magick this evening in hopes of keeping the rain at bay…)
But look how LUSH this weather has made the yard look.

I could just eat the colors!

Finally…
Some Skylar & Daddy time!




I think these are my new favorite pictures of them.
Skylar looks so happy and just adorable!
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Brian is in the midst of putting together a SUPER CUTE retro pink kitchen we bought for Skylar for her birthday.
I am not *allowed* to help in fear that one of us may not make it out alive. Yeah… we don’t do well with instructions and tools in the company of one another!
*heh*
But even a little over half-way done and it is worth-every-penny-SUPER -CUTE!

Well...
I am off to do the bajillion and one things that need to be done before Skylar’s Cinderella Birthday Bash!
HaPPy SaTurDay!

HaPPy HuMp DaY!

What’s the good word ya ask?

How about nature?
Just look how well the Iris, strawberries, Skylar’s watermelon and my herb garden are doing.

I feel so dang connected to nature lately – I think I need to camp and spend the night under the stars at least once this summer. Even if that means in my own backyard!

How about Goddess Group last tonight?
I always enjoy group, but I admit some nights are better than others. Last night was one of those nights. Just a good vibe going on!
My fellow Goddesses and I practiced some psychometry (token-object reading) and we rocked it. Then we had a really cool convo involving spirit guides, déjà vu, and parallel plains and universes!
Our little group of Goddesses is almost a year old by the way. I wasn’t there for the original gathering, but darn close.
Wow, what a difference a year makes!
Finding this group has helped me evolve in so many positive ways. It certainly lead me to my path, gave me clarity, friendships, purpose, and helped me find ME again – because ME was so sadly lost in the shuffle of everything else going on in my life.
And yes, there has been a minimal amount of *chick BS* as I call it. I will never understand the need for competiveness and hatred between women when we should be uniting and ruling the world – just sayin’. Angela welcomes everyone with open arms no matter what your beliefs or walk of life may be -- but negativity in a womans EMPOWERMENT group kinda defeats the purpose.
And I cannot count how many of you lovely ladies out there reading my drivel have left me comments saying how much you wish there was a Goddess Group near you.
I am still working on the teleporter so we can get ya all here.
(Gosh, wouldn’t that be cool?!)

How about my wicked cool new necklace I got from Angela’s shop last night? I need something cool around my neck and wanted a crystal and I just fell in love with the rogue crystal as NO ONE knows its true identity!

Seriously, while it’s rogue-ness is cool -- if anyone could tell us exactly what it is – I would be eternally grateful. We have some ideas just aren’t 100% sure?

How about my daughter Skylar who will be two in less than two weeks (WoWie!)?
She is hysterical.
The other day I was kinda getting after her about manners; mainly please and thank you. Not five minute later she was demanding something and I said, “What’s the magic word?”
Without batting an eyes she says, “Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!”
Indeed! *heh*

Guess who is having a Cinderella birthday party?

Then yesterday we are walking outside to the pool and she INSISTS that she saw a toucan flying over the yard.
Okay so they are technically indigenous to the Neptropic Zone (Central and South America, the Carribbean, and Florida) – I suppose one could be lost in Rhode Island?
HA!

Don’t you wish you could sleep like this? I know I do, I bet I haven’t slept like that since the 1990s!

How about the photo challenge that starts TODAY???
Told ya I would give ya a reminder (ANGELA)!
Break out the Cannon (ANGELA), Nikon, Kodak, cell phone, ipod – whatever and play along!
The details are HERE on the post I made on Monday.
I will be partaking and posting before the end of the day in the section below my header named *photo-a-day*.

Finally and just because it feels appropriate…

Gotta L♥VE Miss O!
