Underneath the Stars

Oh the aches and pains this morning.  Does anyone have a new pair of feet they can let me borrow? Even with blisters on my feet,  I think I want to go on another hike. It was much more enjoyable than the treadmill.  I'm becoming a monster one of those people!

Other news from this weekend is I completed the invitations for my mom's party.  It wasn't that hard and I saved about $300 dollars printing them myself.  Please let me take the time to mention, that I could not have done it without the help of the husband.  There are pros and cons to marrying a computer guy (mostly pros of course, my pc is super fast and always virus free!), and this was one of them. He helped me with all the mail merging, printing, and even placing stamps on the envelopes.

Also this weekend the pup got into some trouble. She had been outside playing in the mud.   Which is most of the time ok, because I stop her at the door and wipe her feet.  She even knows that command and will lift her paws up one at a time. So cute! Well, when she came in this time she bolted past me and there was red, muddy, paw prints everywhere!  I counted about 48 or so.  What a disaster.  Now, everywhere her paw print was, it's whiter than the other parts of the carpet.  Oh well.  Hopefully I will have a wood floor sooner than later.

Today's song is "Underneath the Stars" by Mariah Carey. It's a nice slow song for  Monday morning.  Enjoy your day!

My Goodies

Well, it is Thursday.  One more day until Friday and then I can finally get some things accomplished 'round the house. One thing I need to complete is ordering my parent's invitations for their 30th anniversary party.  It is right around the corner!  My mom and I picked out a simple design that has two birds flying away from a tree. I think it is pretty symbolic and classy.

I wonder what the secret is to a long marriage?  Recently my parents had a building built in their backyard and one of them will hang out in there.  So when one is moody, the other can escape.  Maybe that is the secret? Besides the previous statement, I can tell they communicate pretty well,  so that probably helps too.  I think they are a great example.  My in-laws have been married for 26 years.  That too is fantastic.  The hubby and I have great role models when it comes to marriage.  

I'm a huge Ciara fan! Have you seen her in the video for Ride?  I can only dream of dancing like that. It really is something to see.  I wonder what her concerts are like.  Today's random song is My Goodies by Ciara. When this song first came out, I thought she was saying "my cookies".  Please enjoy.
