My New Arrival!!

I finally got yellow calla lilies Friday! Isn't it beautiful?!

My collection is almost complete! From left to right are pink,yellow and purple. I planted the white ones by the front porch. The only color I am missing now is red...so my exciting hunt continues!

Holiday Weekend?

I wish I were back on the beach in Hawaii....
It's raining...
it's the frigging 2nd of July and I am FREEZING!
So what to do?
I guess I will go to the freezer and plan dinner. If I am stuck indoors all day,I guess I will cook :)

TGIF

I made it..it's my Friday and I am ready for a lazy 3 day weekend with my sweetie! I finished off June with top sales numbers at work and today was just as busy :).I am so thankful for this fun job I get to work each day!
I finally have a handle on my anxiety thanks to Paxil. I don't love to admit that I have to take it but to deny telling you how much it has improved my life would almost seem deceiving. I can only explain it as calm. I feel calm and peaceful. I was just overwhelmed all the time! Anxiety was ruining my life and my relationships. It made me say horrible things and dread the day before it even started. So I went to my Dr... and after a few weeks of taking Paxil..I am calm ahhhhhh :)
Tomorrow..what to do? Buy a coffee and wonder around my new favorite local nursery greenhouses? Take Chip for a walk and let him smell and explore instead of keeping my pace? Plan a fun afternoon for Vern and I? Clean out my van? Hmmm..so many options haha!
Woops,looks like it's almost tomorrow already..until then...nite :)

Wordless Wednesday

Tuesday

Today was a good day,here are a few good reasons why-
I fell asleep early last night and slept for 12 hours without the dreaded "sleep hangover"
I got the floors scrubbed and mopped and the dusting done,ugh this old house under construction is messy!

Cheesy turkey meatloaf with country gravy mmm
The bit of moss Vern found at the neighbors and brought home for our new planter
It's the first Tuesday in 4 weeks that I haven't had a Doctor's appointment
2 more days of work before a 3 day weekend

I am grateful that the only thing I feel like my life is missing is yellow calla lilies

The bit of excitement I felt when I checked on my pink calla lilies 5 times today,nope,still not open yet ..ok I'll keep waiting..
I lost 6 pounds since the removal of my horrible IUD! Feeling like myself again :)

No bake mini cheesecake..thank you Jello for the quick and easy diet reward!haha

  I see I left off around April 5th and I realize why I stopped blogging around then..things got so busy! Vern had his shoulder surgery April 8th and so far has recovered very quickly! I could re-tell the horror stories of his post-op misery but I will spare you the gory details..... Vern spent 7 weeks at home during the also chaotic remodel going on upstairs. He cooked,cleaned and made us tons of delicious food on his new smoker,we were spoiled! That brings me back to..THE REMODEL. Well....it's almost done! Let's just skip those gory details too,I just never want to go through that again. We got through it. Nuff said. BUT NOW it looks gorgeous and we are excited for Del to have such a nice addition! The house is looking better and better all the time :)
  Vern and I on the other hand, have been busy working in the yard! We have a garden,new flower beds full of sunflowers,a squash patch,new 5'X3' flower boxes and an antique wash bin we found at a garage sale. The yard is looking very cute,I just wish summer would hurry up and get here!

Blogging Round 2

I'm back. After a few busy insane months away...I'm back to blogging :) The credit all goes to my friend Melody! I love her blog so much it inspires me to attempt this one more time...so we'll see how it goes. haha My goodness I have so much to tell you all and tons of pictures to share! Just not tonight....but soon :)
