Fun at the Halloween Store...

"To infinity and beyond!"

Awww, nice leopard ears!

"Luke, I am your father."

Look deeply into my eyes!

Check out these groovy glasses. All I need now is smokin' purple outfit!

So fitting but they'd be even more perfect if they had ND on them!

Happy Anniversary Babe!

It's the 3 year anniversary of our first date and the 1 year anniversary of when he proposed to me at Cheesecake Factory. We get married in 3 months and I can't wait to be his wife!

This is a scrapbook page I did of the LOML

The flowers he brought to me on our first date. They were also a big hit with Grandma Lucy! ; )

Our first picture together. I knew the moment I met him that he was a keeper! I love you babe!

12 of 12 (3): August 2008

I can hardly believe it's the 12th of August. Of course credit for this fun concept goes to Chad Darnell. Click on the title to find out more details. Here are a few pictures of my day.

7:45am -Morning smooch for the LOML

1:00pm -The LOML and I going out to grab some lunch.

1:15pm - We made a run to AJ's for an ice tea and an Arnold Palmer.

1:30pm - We then made our way to Paradise Bakery for some grub. They have very yummy sandwiches, soups and salads.

5:00pm -We were heading home on the 101. This is the new 64th St. overpass that has no road connecting to it yet. So much growth is happening in this area. I expect in a year for it to look completely different.

5:10pm - The LOML dropping a letter in the mail for me.

5:15pm - It's me. Waiting for the LOML to come back to car.

6:30pm- Cornflake cookie dough. We are having a bake sale that benefits the Special Olympics tomorrow at work. These are one of two cookie's that I made to be part of the sale.

7:30pm- Monster cookies. These were the second set of cookies I made for the bake sale.

7:30pm -Watching the Olympics on the TV in the kitchen while baking- Go USA!

8:30pm - The baked Cornflake cookies all packaged ready for the bake sale.

8:45pm - The baked Monster cookies. They look pretty yummy, right?! Well, they were if I do say so myself. They aren't a part of my diet but I had to try one to make sure they were good enough for the bake sale. : )

12 of 12 (3): July 2008

It's 12 of 12 for July. Here's some shots from my day. It was spent running errands. This fun concept is the brainchild of Chad Darnell. Click here to learn more.

10:00am - Made a run to Jiffy Lube for an oil change.

11:00am - Filling up with gas at Costco. It was $3.99 a gallon. The cheapest in the area.

11:10am - Filling up my tank

12:00pm - My cute window shades. I just got my car washed and you can see a palm tree and cloud shot on the hood of my car.

12:30 - Mom and I entering Fresh & Easy for a bit of shopping.

1:15pm - Driving home.

1:30pm - My new reusable Fresh & Easy bags.

2:30pm - The LOML outside of Dick's Sporting Goods. Time for new running shoes.

5:30pm - Costco run for detergent, TP, water and diced tomatoes

5:45pm - Hair cut for the LOML

6:00pm - The new summer hair-do!

6:45pm - Dinner at Dragon Palace. They have very yummy garlic chicken (sorry, forgot to take a pic of food)

Goofiness ensues tonight

My new bangs...still getting use to them.

The LOML getting a bit frustrated w/the DBacks but they pulled it out- WHEW!

WII are addicted!

We got a taste of the WII bowling game and we're hooked! We spent the afternoon at my brother Dan's house on Saturday. We were over celebrating the kids May birthdays and they couldn't wait to bowl against the adults. Darn, those kids are good! We had so much fun and got totally addicted. We are actually looking to purchase a WII ourselves.

Brycen showing Aunt "Stina" how to bowl. I did manage to get 4 strikes in a row.

The LOML looking pretty serious after all he was trying to beat my 4 strikes.

Brycen most likely making another strike!

Even Grandma Debbie got involved in the fun.

"Take me out to the ballgame..."

Last night we spent the evening at Chase Field watching the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Colorado Rockies - Yes! It was a beautiful 77 degrees outside which was perfect for a night of baseball. The roof was open and the hot dogs were yummy! We had a great time!

Us at the game and me wearing my new Byrnes hat that the LOML bought for me.

A shot of Brynes (my favorite player but he's in a bit of a slump right now) on the new high def Jumbo Tron. It's seriously a spectacular Jumbo Tron!

A picture of Randy Johnson pitching (I seriously need to invest in a zoom lens!)

The LOML looking all serious while keeping score of the game.

My handsome man!

A shot of the new Jumbo Tron again...it was of the ketchup hot dog, mustard hot dog and relish hot dog foot race. Three kids are picked from the audience and they run in place donning hot dog costumes trying to make their hot dog run faster to come in 1st place. The relish won.

"Nice Role Model!"

This past Saturday night we had my Nephew and two Nieces spend the night with us. The LOML and I were making popcorn for the kids as they settled in to make cards for Mother's Day. While I was popping the corn in the stove kettle, the LOML was waiting for the microwave to melt the butter. Now most people would know that the container of melted butter would be HOT but the LOML reached in to grab the bowl bare handed and yelled "SON OF A BITCH!" as the hot melted butter/container scorched his hand. The next thing we knew a little voice comes from the living room saying "Nice Role Model!" All we could do was burst out laughing.

12 of 12 (3): March 2008

I totally spaced that it was the 12th today. This is what happens when everything you do at work is on the computer and you don't have to write the date down. So needless to say I didn't bring my camera around with me today and had to improvise when I realized it was the 12th at 6:45 tonight. Here are my pics of how my day was spent.

Oh, and credit to this fun concept (esp when you remember to bring your camera with you) goes to Chad Darnell, click on the title or click here to find out the details.

Our day started out going to AJ's for breakfast before heading into the office. (A sad napkin shot since I forgot to bring my camera with me)

The book that I started yesterday and am having a hard time putting down. (Baby Proof by Emily Giffin)

We watched one of my favorite game shows- Wheel of Fortune.

Pink easter basket grass and glitter egg coloring kit that we picked up this afternoon from Walmart.

Me laughing at something the LOML said to me.

The decorative easter eggs that I won at Steve and Pernilla's party last year.

A lovely Rochesters shopping bag shot. We stopped here to buy a new shirt for the LOML. He has a job interview tomorrow.

The LOML giving me a "huh" look.


We also watched Big Brother 9. It was eviction night and here is a shot of the houseguests competing for HOH (head of household).

The LOML smiling despite doing the horrible chore of ironing his shirt.

My niece Sophia drew this lovely picture of me on a post it that I have stuck to the kleenex box in the living room. At least I'm smiling be it a crooked one. : )


It's us...I needed a 12th photo. : )
