I'm going to try to keep this short. lol

Had a blast over memorial day weekend at the lake, AHiL and I lost terribly to my parents in yard sports. :\ (there's always next year!)
Came home, and mom wasn't feeling good. The next day she spent all day at the hospital which resulted in an emergency appendectomy.
We have no idea why we even have an appendix anyway- so no biggy that it's out but it was so bad it almost exploded while they were
trying to remove it. ICK!!! so we've been taking care of mom and we had dad's birthday yesterday. Bought him steak (ewww) and made
cupcakes and had balloons and all that jazz. He was a happy camper.

Got mom and Jesse and I to the mall today to shop for some clothes for work. I haven't had to have clothes for work for a couple of years
now because of working at home and such. Sooooo... I hate to shop. If it's shoes, that's one thing. Hand bags, I love. Tattoos I would shop for all day. (got that a couple weeks ago) but clothes. ICK!!! it's all hot and people have had their sweaty bodies in them before I have and it's ick.
HOWEVER- I learned a few things. My man is a pro at shopping. He knows what will look good on me before I do. He has an amazing sense of high fashion style and could dress models on a runway, I shit you not. How fun to learn this about him. Mom held up like a champ, and we got everything I needed and didn't need including THE CUTEST fuzzy hello kitty daisy duke shorts and a purse that you would drool on if only for the texture and pattern. ha ha (red.) yum.

Liv- my daughter is feeling really good, no heart issues, (I think she's a slight hypochondriac) and she is getting an award in math for being so friggin' smart. ok, I think I'm pretty awesome but I SUCK. suck at math. I'm so proud of her!! she's still a pain in the ass but she's a good girl, with good grades and we will continue to keep her all too grown up bod in the closet until she's 35. *cough*

Sorry to have not been around much but stuff happens. miss everyone! =)

love,

Just wanted to let everyone know that my kiddo is ok as far as her heart is concerned. Nothing abnormal except her being a 16 year old that is slightly hyper with mild selective attention spans. =)

Some of you know that my dad backed his SUV in to my Jetta a couple weeks ago, which sucked. Yesterday, I found out that my daughter ran over what might have been godzilla from the looks of the underside of my car, so my sweet salsa red baby gets to go to the body doctor this week. Good thing my new job doesn't start until the 25th.

Went out for an adventure yesterday with Jesse. Visited my tattoo artist's new shop, figured out a plan for the inside of my left forearm and I go back to get it next week. MAD EXCITED to be having this work done. After that we found a really cool resale record store that had all kinds of vinyl, posters, cassette tapes, books etc. Some pretty obscure stuff actually. He found a book on the Doors that he didn't know existed, so he was all giddy. Left there, and went to an Ethiopian restaurant. Had THE BEST home made cheesecake after dinner that I wish I had more of right now.

Kind of funny tidbit about that- The dude that owned the place turned the television on while we were enjoying dinner and it kinda ticked me off. I wished secretly that the tele would blow up and low and behold, a storm blew in and knocked the power out. HA HA HA then the not funny part happened.... he couldn't run our bank card with the power out. :| (we never carry a ton of cash...) soooooooooo the whole block was out of electricity, it was pouring, we ran across the street to the bank (me thinking stupidly that the ATM would surely work) NO GO. Back to the car, driving around to find lights. I know the guy thought we were going to stiff him but alas, Jesse found a store with an ATM that was working and we ran back to save the day.

All in all a great funny day actually that ended with a family movie- "Australia" looooong movie but good!

Evil- I swear I'm writing your tidbits!
Jess- I love you more than words can say
Foxfires- we looked for the movie suggestion but the store didn't have it!
Everyone- Hug someone today and make some art!

<3 love Rox
