Girl Scout Memories

While I was at the church Rummage Sale...jeff cleaned out the hall closet so that he could get into the attic....and he also decided it was time to clean things out...

I found my old girl scout photo album...I took some pictures out and also snapped some photos of some autographs...recognize anyone?










Good news! The countdown has started...Jordan gets his cast off on the 15th! Everything is healing well...

Too tired to blog...

Michelle and I decided to get together and get some scrap booking done...she came over at 9 am with pastries...and we scrapped until she left at 11 to pick up Makaela...I kept going until Jeff came home....

I got 27 pages done!!!!



Around 5:45, I realized it was Monday, and since Jeff did NOT have a meeting, I was able to go to Lori Pirri's yoga class. So, yes, I am wiped...plus, I got stuck trying to beat Jeff's solitaire score....hee hee... Night!

The "cards" in the Hoops, Cards and Crafts

Yesterday, we had a card making workshop at church. Here are the cards I made. I only demo'd the ladybug popup and the purple wisteria card...Nina and Karen did the others..those ladies are so clever!

All in all a wonderful afternoon with friends...many of the regulars couldn't make it...but, maybe next time...

Bad Mommy day and a green cast

So, I didn't take my phone with me when I went to the gym and when I ran errands...after all, nothing big really happens...right?

WRONG, as soon as I got home, Ms Kelly called from the office. Jordan hurt his hand playing tetherball with a 4th grader (Hello Jordan, you are 5'5" and in the 6th grade). Kelly said not to worry, it looks like it is dislocated and he isn't fussing at all...um, WRONG again...it is a break!


After two sets of x-rays, 3 waiting rooms, a failed attempt to numb the area before it was reset...Jordan does not like needles, Jeff finally told the doctor to set it without drugs because he was whimpering...we came home with a green cast...

The only comment Jordan made...why didn't you use the charger in the car...no comment about his Dad who didn't know that the phone in his pocket was ringing.....double duh....maybe the title of this blog should be "Bad Parent Day..."

New furniture

Yeah! I finally got BlogPress to work...I had to uninstall and then sync with my iTunes and reinstall...oh well...

The sad thing is, I had my post all done...here we go again...

When our last cat died, Jeff did NOT want to get another cat...but, since we were so busy with my Mom, it made sense. After a while, we debated getting a dog, another cat or a sofa...yes, SOFA.

Well, I guess we did get another piece of furniture!

Made it home!

I made it home to find that four feet, um, paws have been added to our house.


We visited Nori, formerly Julie, about 2 weeks ago. At the time, they told us she is 9 months old, but, they don't have an exact age for her. Yes, her ears are suppose to be like that...she is a black and white tuxedo Scottish Fold....cute, eh?

While I was on my Girl's Trip to Seattle/Portland, Jeff and the boys went to Purrfect Cat Rescue in the Newpark Mall and they saw her there. The last time we were there, they said she was 50% off ($50) because it was hard for her to compete with the 2 month old kittens.

Jeff and the boys called me to tell me that she was still there...I told Jeff that it was up to him. They left the mall and went to PetSmart to buy litter, a scooper and food. Jeff also decided on a new name, Nori, because he doesn't like naming pets after people.

I started to suspect that they made a decision when I got a call from Jordan "do you like scented or unscented cat litter?" (I could hear Jeff in the background saying "you can't do that...it won't be a surprise!"). Then, Jordan abruptly said, "um, never mind" then the phone went click...

On Sunday, they went back and she was GONE! The rescue folks left her at home, because they thought he would come back next week! After a phone call, some paperwork and finding out she was FREE, they were going home with her...

She loves to play, and is purring away! I think she is adjusting quite nicely to her new home.
