Park it.

This afternoon, we attended a picnic for all of the Bravo Battery guys and their families. The weather was sensational, and the geese were in heaven with the overabundance of hot dog and hamburger buns. Plus, this park had an amazing playground for the kiddos, even complete with a hanging bridge and also a "fireman's pole" for the little ones to slide down! (So perfect, as my little guy is going through his wanting to be a fireman phase right now!)

Good times...

Have a happy day everyone!

Secret Scrawl

So, this little book goes with me just about everywhere I go. It has a handy magnetic closure and is created in a to-die-for color. Very elegant, don't you think? It stays by my side when I read magazines so I can jot down websites of interest, and overall, is very devoted to me. It's not a regular journal. It's more of a "resource book" per say. I write stuff down that I'm going to want to reference at a later time. Not stories. Just cool stuff. Funny things I've heard. Great websites. Things like that.
Thought you'd like a peek.
P.S. I actually write pretty- this scrawl is really random, ugly, and [usually] for my eyes only. :)

Weird Randomness...

So it seems I've been "tagged" by the uberfabulous-talented-stylish-beautiful Wendy. I'm supposed to list seven (7) weird/random things about myself...

1) I have an odd "Things To Do Before I Die List". I've already crossed one thing off. Though it may seem odd to y'all, I always wanted to visit Pike Place Fish Market, a central location in a book about a philosophy that changed my life. It was an amazing experience. I stood there at the market in Seattle for a good half hour, taking in the Event by myself, just happy that I was finally able to check it off my List. (I also checked off another thing too during that trip... I visited the very first Starbucks! Cool, eh?)

2) I'm constantly coming up with new home-based business ideas. Seriously, I could write a book on them.

3) It's hard for me to create something to keep just for me to enjoy. I always feel like I should be selling it to "do my part" to help out with the family budget. It's not that we need it- I just feel like I'm not being productive if I don't sell it.... It is hard to part with some things that I make... I've gotten used to it though. It's what I do.

4) I grew up fast. I owned a home and had a happy little family by age twenty. Even during my school days, I always used to feel that my brain was 10 years older than my friends... Weird... (In fact, I didn't attend school as much as I probably should have. I just thought, "Hey, if I can still get an "A" in a class without being there, it's a complete waste of my time.") Fun facts...

5) I could probably start a library for infomercial workout DVDs. I have many complete sets.... Still in the manufacturer shrink wrap... Um, yeah.

6) I'm a total stickler for proper social etiquette. The day after birthdays, Christmas, etc., you'd better believe I'm getting out those thank you notes! I have wondered though if this is partly due to the fact that I enjoy using pretty stationery... It makes me happy to get out my monogrammed wax seal stamp and collection of different colored wax sticks to use as well... I'm old fashioned like that.

7) I wish that I could dress like Jackie O every day and not receive weird looks walking down the street in a little pillbox hat.

Well, there was a little bit about me... I now need to tag seven people to do the same!
