"I'm a Survivor" Totes

Carly and me

Friday night, Freddy and Cheryl came over with Miss Carly. She and I were sitting, watching the Cowboys play, and when she started reaching for my wine glass and then wouldn't let it go!! It was a classic Kodak Moment!!!

Almost birthday time!!

On Wednesday, 09.09.09, I will celebrate my 27th birthday!! That is unbelievable to me. I remember when I was younger, wondering how old I would be when my birthday fell on 09/09/09!! What a great day for a birthday, I thought! What I didn't realize then, and have come to understand now, is how other people don't really have the same enthusiasm that I have when it comes to birthdays. I have been planning for months now on what to do the night of September the 9th, 2009, and I've pretty much decided people may be tired of hearing about it! Thankfully the day is almost here and everything is planned. Dinner at La Hacienda Ranch at 5:30 and then we will head over to Tastings, in Grapevine, for some fabulous wine tasting. I'm so thankful to have great friends who will be joining me in the celebrating!! It means so much to have people who care for me, and who accept me, Birthday fetish and all!!!

When they say Giant... They mean it!!

A few weeks ago, during normal conversation at the office, my "cube mate" mentioned something about some new GIANT Cheetos, and boy was she right. I found some today at the convenient store, so I had to get them for her! They were literally an inch long, wide, and thick. Too funny not to share.

Komen 3 Day Update

There has been a lot of action on my 3 Day website this week! GMAC, the company I work, for has matched a couple of donations, and I have had a couple of large contributions from family and friends... putting the total at $1,535 so far!! I can't believe it's actually happening!! Jodi and I still have the "Cheers to Finding a Cure" Cocktail party at Cheryl's house... which is fastly approaching, and other fundraising events in the works. I can't wait for us to hit our goal!! Now... if only I could start training a little more!!

Constantly thinking about my Thirty by Thirty List...

So, this weekend while in Hot Springs... I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to take care of #10 on my Thirty by Thirty List (Go Fishing and Bait my own Hook). Unfortunately, I found out too late that I would need a fishing license in order to do so... guess we will have to wait on that one.

I actually do have one task I can mark off in two days... #21 Go a month without shopping for myself. I have not purchased a single item for myself since July 28th! No shoes, purses, shirts, jewelry... nothing!! I'm quite pleased. It is actually great... going through my closet and pulling out old outfits I haven't seen in a while!! It's like Christmas all over again, well, not exactly...but it's been fun mixing and matching items of clothing that I haven't worn in a while.

Weekend at Lake Hamilton

This weekend, I made the last minute decision to head to Hot Springs and visit my family at the lake house, for what ended up being, somewhat of a reunion!! My grandmother, aunts and uncles came to town, as well as my brother, sister-in-law and Matthew.... and so did Rebecca, a long lost cousin of my mom (and her brothers & sisters). We had a great time playing games, going out on the boat, and of course, eating good food!! I even rode the tube behind the boat, something I have not done in years. It really makes me miss living just an hour from the lake!

Tricia and Rebecca on the tube!

My soon to be God Son!!

Genna's turn!!

Matthew had a big day... he was sleepy!!
