The Weekend!

The Weekend is finally here! Yeah!!

I'm going to Beaumont tomorrow to have late lunch with some of my old high school buddies. I haven't seen some of them in 15 or so years!!! Shout out to Shalagh, Sandy, Darella, Kim, and of course, Stacey. It's going to be a quick trip since they all have kids and this was the best time for them, but it will be fun all the same.

I have a baby shower on Sunday for our neighbor next door having twins. I originally thought I wouldn't get to go because of my lunch tomorrow but then realized I had the dates mixed up. I can now do both. Yes, I can do it all :)

Tommy and Roxie will be hanging out here on the home front. Roxie is right now hiding under the bed because of the thunder and lightning. Yes, it actually rained here today. Now if it will just keep it up all night and quit tomorrow for the weekend!!! Woo for the weekend.

Mize Girls Rule

Well, Roxie and I just saw Tommy off. He's going to Austin until tomorrow night. He's the chair of a project and has a state-wide meeting tomorrow. Woo Hoo, bring on the dancing boys!

We've already got our supper planned and will probably be painting our toenails later. Roxie is already standing guard at the window to alert me to any strange happenings. I know she's a little thing, but she's aggressive when it comes to protecting her Momma (meal ticket).

One Week later

Okay, one week and 4 photo albums later, I have all the old pictures in albums.

My next job is to label and add some scrapbook bling to them. Whew!

Project 2 is a cookbook. I've already started it, and would work on it when I got tired of looking at pictures. I have so many cookbooks and scraps of paper with recipes on them that I decided to compile my own on line. I have cookbooks with recipes I'll never attempt in a millions years. My goal with my own cookbook is to put only recipes that I know I like or will try. I hate those cookbooks with Martha Stewart like recipes that just make me feel bad about my cooking skills!!! MY COOKBOOK will be compiled, then bound with hard covers and shipped to me. Pretty cool.

Anyway, I'm about half-way finished with my own recipes and have called on friends and family to fill in the rest. So, if you're reading this and have a good recipe that isn't too terribly difficult, please pass it on.

Going to lunch with the Mizes today. We're meeting a Pappadeaux's and then going back to Mark and Steph's to watch Jake play in his new pool.

Roxie will be guarding the homefront.

All I see is pictures!

I've been working everynight on my pictures that I got from Mom and Dad's. Man, I'm even dreaming about pictures.

These scrapbooks, and yes I did mean plural, will be nice once they are together but I can't see my kitchen table anymore!!

Picture Happy

I rescued a box of old pictures from Mom and Daddy's. Most of them survived the flood but some weren't so lucky.

I'm scrapbooking them so wish me luck! There are hundreds of them!!

Here's a sample from some of the oldies but goodies. This was one of my birthdays. I'm thinking 8 or 9 and that would make Amy 5 or 6. I'm in the red by the cake and she's two down in the white shirt.
