we just had to

fulfill our pizza cravings
at the pie.

so much greese, but oh so good.

and the atmosphere is worth the drive.
yum.

end of giveaway!

hurry and get your names in!
the giveaway ends today.
(i know, i extended it one day. i'm a softy)

the winner will be announced next week!

i got a text

from my dad today.
and it read:

i came across a favorite quote.
it's from dr. maya angelou, a famous black woman
who has done much to build women's self esteem across the country.

"always, i hope to grow brighter, funnier.
i hope to learn to be even
more well rounded.

but right now i cannot be any better than i am."

all of us can only do our current best.
that is all others can receive from us.
it is all that we can expect from ourselves.

i thought this might bring you some encouragement.
love you,
dad.

i know.
i cried.

i love him :)

how his turned out...

jake picked up his completed bowl from color-me-mine.
he did good right?
(at least his is in once piece)

his masterpiece is from blowing paint bubbles.
he is so clever.

and his big hands must be more careful than mine.
i must work on that....

(remember to enter the giveaway!)

going, going, gone

to pc for the weekend.
looking forward to some shopping, swimming, and sleeping
(the three essential 's' words in my life)
happy weekend to all
and don't forget to enter for the giveaway...
