12 days in a nutshell

Dear Bloggity Friends,
I am sorry to have left you for so long. In the past 12 days I have:

fretted about my upcoming 10 year anniversary and how to celebrate it

accepted the size and bought new clothes for me :)

celebrated my 10 year anniversary with my kids and hubby

beaded about 2 dozen pairs of little girl socks

suffered from cramped hand because six pairs of the socks were done in one day

caught a mouse in a mouse trap and cried about being the cause of its death

read a lot of emails and blogs

played Pac-Man

bought a television and an XBOX (again)

saw Toy Story 388 times -- thanks Alli ;)

went school shopping for Pookie

made a bazillion dental appointments

sold my piano

took the kids swimming

went to the zoo

bought five pairs of shoes (for the kids)

order 25,000 beads -- 3,000 pony beads and about 22,000 tri-beads

and missed you all. :)

Oh how I've missed yoU!
Ok, here goes:

~ I have NOT accepted my size yet. But I am jealous that you have moved on to the clothes buying stage already.

~ Did you play pac-man on your new xbox or Time4Learning (I was so thrilled to find that on their site)? :)

~ So...what's the secret to NOT losing kids at the zoo?

~ Why did you sell your piano?! :( I so wish we were thousands of miles clsoer to each other. I definately would have bought it. Mine is still unfinished in the garage...same place it was a year ago.

~ So what did you in on teh tv and xbox? hehe

So can I benefit from your hand cramping! Zoe loved your beaded socks so much tha I wondered if I can buy some from you! Let me know what a deformed hand is running for these days and you've got a deal!

Nikki! I'm so glad you're back. I was worried about you and was on the verge of emailing you again to see if you were alive!

Congratulations on 10 Years! Time goes by so quickly. I still think of us as a couple of crazy wanna be college students playing at the pool. Those were the days. Hard to believe that was over ten years ago. Now I'm feeling old.

I missed your posted, but welcome back.

What on earth are you going to do with 25000 beads?!

Happy anniversary! Awesome!

Glad you are alive. :)

I was wondering where you ran off to, but I must say I haven't blogged in so long ALSO!! I just like to blogstalk and read everyone's VERY interesting life stories. I must say that having 4 and going out with all 4 hasn't happened yet. How you do all these fun activities...ZOO, swimming, dental appointments, school shopping, blah blah blah....that's AMAZING!! So darn right you should have a blog vacation. Anyways, i think I'm rambling...can't wait to see the new socks, and one day I can enjoy your HUGE tv with you.

Holy beads Nikki!! I'll bet the socks look fabulous, and you are welcome for Toy Story.

I had to ask your mom what the rest of the story was on selling your piano. The keyboard is all and more! You scared my family!!!

Laurie HF said...

Well, if you're going to do some stomach crunches, I'd better comment, huh? Enjoy this time. It's gone much too quickly.

wow...you've been busy!

I was starting to wonder what you were doing with all the free time from not blogging, I suppose you were doing other stuff. I just about gasped when I read about the piano but you do have another one or a keyboard or something if I remember right? I do remember when you had two pianos in your house.

I hope your hands don't turn into permanent beading claws.
