Every now and then

Yes, every now and then I need to do it. I would like to think that yes, my glass is more than half full. Then there are days or even instances that make you think people suck. There, I said it. PEOPLE SUCK!!! As we get older, we grow up right? I know I have and believe the good in everyone. Then, I took a step back today and took a closer look. Not all people are good. There are people out there that are just for themselves and a small select group of the ELITE. I have never belonged to the ELITE club. There was a time I might have sold my soul to join. As I sit here in Eden Prairie, home to some of the biggest ELITE I might say, I am reminded that they are everywhere. South to North. So, today, maybe take a step back and look at what club you are in and weather or not you still want to be an honorary member. Looks can be deceiving and there are clubs out there were you don't need to pay a "fee"!! Let me know your thoughts.

Happy Mothers Day

So....how was it? You know, the spoil "ME" rotten day? Please no dishes, no laundry , no meal planning. Did it work out well for ya? For me? Oh yes, yes, yes!!!! Woke up to peacefully getting dressed and makeup applied. That's a biggie. No little fingers in my blush and brushes. Downstairs we trot to cards and a gift bag waiting to be opened. Cards from the girls are always so great. And the piece de resistance...A porcelain reusable Starbucks mug. Oh the Glory. But, am I responsible enough not to break it? Then off to IHOP. Breakfast again there was interesting. We always vow to never go back. We did, ended up with a long dark hair in hubbies sunny side up eggs, found it when he was down to the last bite. YUCK!!!! Stella did get a balloon though. YEAH! Como Zoo, all the animals awake and vibrant. Cupcakes on France. My family knows me so well. Don't let anyone say you can't do mothers day on a budget. Hope yours was just as awesome!! Don't forget to share this with your friends, if they can relate..

Hi, hello, how are you? Goodbye...

This past weekend was a 24 hour whirlwind of driving , coffee, formal dresses and the best breakfast in the Northland. But it always comes with too quick of hello's and goodbyes. It involves the beauty of the blended family. My husband and I packed up the gals and the faithful dog and drove to Duluth for stop #1. Dad's. He is the best dog sitter we know. Prada has even come home with a tummy full of her own Happy Meal. (No lie). Quick Hello number one. Then it is off to moms to drop of the girls. With a quick "here look at the freebies I got you, no don't worry if Stella doesn't eat and yes she still goes to bed at 6:15 with a story." we are off to Ely. Jordan's grandmarch. So beautiful. One of the highlights was me in my dress and 3in high heels on the back of a fourwheeler prior. Pics to come soon I am sure. Derrick was teary eyed as he watched his first born dawn the stairs in her formal escorted by her beau. More quick hello's and just as quick goodbye's as she went off to her dance. I think we were in Ely equally as long as it took us to drive there; from Duluth. Back to moms for the night. Wake up and gracefully dart out in the a.m. for our breakfast ritual. Back to moms. Derrick has found yet another fourwheeler. (the north's preferred mode of transportation i am now sure). We are off for another ride in another town. Goodbye to moms. #3 stop was grandpa Ed's with a visit with him and d's mom. "Hello/goodbye." Off to dads for the beloved pet. Short stay with a quick lunch. Hello/Goodbye. Insert drive home here. As you can see in a nut shell the drive was equally made up of quick salutations as the hours spent in the car. Way to fast, way to sorrowful. Stop and smell the roses? Please, we have to lay off the accelerator first.
