Busy Weekend

So, we had Baby Girl's graduation party on Saturday and we had way too much food. Though I'm sure the "boys" at the apartment were quite happy since they took a LOT of food home! It was also nice that everyone who came stayed for quite a while. The only down point was the mosquitoes! Despite fogging the yard, having citronella candles and one of those "Off" lanterns, the mosquitoes were still bad! I have many, many bites to prove it, too! Ah, well, it was still a successful party, everyone had a good time and much eating and drinking was enjoyed.

Yesterday was, of course, Father's Day. It was a quiet day for my DH. In fact, Lindsay and I left him alone most of the afternoon while we went and did some cardio, some weights and then went swimming. We were feeling pretty good about our day, but I've blown it today! This is the problem with party leftovers...too much "bad" food left to munch on! Oh, well, tomorrow is another day!

New Look & Stuff

So, I'm really liking this new look for the ol' blog! I was thrilled when the new designs became available and they had these gorgeous roses! I really needed a change of pace and this was perfect! Let me know what you think!

So, Baby Girl graduated on June 8th (YAY!!) and we have her party tomorrow to celebrate. Between getting everything together for her party, other grad parties and work, I've really neglected not only my blogs, but my beading as well! I'm hoping that things will settle down in a week or so....OK, it might not happen until after the 4th and I have all these beautiful beads calling to me! And yet, that is another problem...I have so many new beads, I'm on idea overload and that's added to my frustration! So, I just keep putting it all off.

One thing I have been spending way too much time doing is ogling everything on Modcloth.com! I've become addicted to the clothes on this site and I have at least a dozen items on my wish list already! If only I could buy everything on my list just so I could have a fun, new wardrobe for our vacation at the end of August! This dress is perfect for a lovely dinner on our cruise! The site has so many gorgeous retro/vintage style dresses that it's really hard to pick just one! Then there's the retro/old Hollywood style swimsuits that look great on most any figure...how could you go wrong?

OK, I just really need to stay off that site for a while and get down to working on some bead designs! Focus, focus, focus...oh, look...a pretty dress!

The Party's Over

Well, the party's over and we're recooperating. Now to figure out where to put the extra serving dishes and stuff we bought, not to mention all the leftovers! Good thing fried chicken and wings freeze well! I think our daughter's graduation party went really well and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. We were very lucky to have some family come in from out of state, too. It was a nice time, though, I don't think I want to do it again very soon! Maybe just a few friends over would be great, though! Now, back to beading!
