We are in Mississippi as we speak! We wanted to get away for a few days. The scenery is beautiful. I forgot what rolling hills looked like! We are going out for sushi tonight! Yummy! Where in our city could you get fresh sushi?
Let the record reflect that on Sunday, July 16th, I kicked Angela's haughty little butt at Scrabble: 273 to 228!
Just keepin' it real! (Love you, honey!)

I canNOT believe that you got on your blog during your anniversary "vaca"!!! good LORD!!! Oh, and I thought that I'd let you know that there are really big hills (Ozark Mtns.) in NW Arkansas. If rolling hills did it for you, then they'll prolly make you faint up there. :-)~

LOVE Travel Scrabble. Taylor and I got it for one of our wedding gifts last year...it's one of my favorite gifts! We play all the time when we're flying places. It's great for planes. ;) We should get together and play sometime. (I'm not that good...I don't think I've ever scored over 200..but it's still fun!)
Monday, when we got back from our anniversary trip, found a note on the counter that read: Suzanne called. Play group. Tuesday at 830am. Who would schedule a playgroup so early? Doesn't anyone sleep in? Let the kids find their own breakfast, and stay under the covers till they beg for lunch? Well, you know heat here in the summers, ranging around the 100's, makes us southerners wake up early in the a.m. to do the things we enjoy. When noon rolls around, we hull up in our homes, doors tightly shut, curtains drawn, trying to escape the BIG BAD (the sun appropriately named, right Spike?)! I guess that was not in the cards for us today! We spent the early morning hours playing at the park with pretty much everyone from Journey! Unfortunately around 10 a.m. the heat found us and forced us to retreat to Suzanne's house for some relief! We had a great time chatting, the conversation ranged from ovulation...and ended with ovulation. I think Micheal enjoyed the conversation as much ...
The Challenge: Have as many women as I can interpret what I meant by "Spending ever day looking for new ways to reinvent our relationship." Please leave your comments so that I know I wasn't speaking a foreign language with my spouse. Men, feel free to comment as well! I'm sure you will anyways. Conversation with hubby: Me: I have a New Years Resolution that I think would be fun for us, do you want to hear it? Man: Sure Me: I think every day we should look for new ways to reinvent our relationship? Man: What do you mean? Me: I just said what I meant. Man: No you didn't really explain what you mean, though. Me: You know, finding little things that would change our relationship...doing something each day. Man: That seems taxing! Me: Working on our relationship is work? Man: Yeah, I wouldn't know what to do. That's 365 days, you know. Me: There are calendars out there that will tell you things to do that are romantic! Buy one. Man: Yeah, but most of them are ...
A bumper sticker. My bumper sticker (well, not actually adhered to the car yet!). What this means for you? My sister from Washington was kind enough to scrape up 4 of these lovely bumper stickers. Two have been spoken for, and two I want to give away. In the south this is a prized possession, since Wal-Mart (Hell-Mart) has a monopoly on what we can buy. I hate Wal-Mart...and would never shop there again if we had another good grocery store (The Pig doesn't count). Although I may never place this on my bumper, for fear of having my tires slashed, I still love looking at it on the fridge (Mark is putting one on his office bulletin board). So this is the offer. The first two commenters will receive this lovely bumper sticker, courtesy of me, myself, and I (oh, and my sister Shannon )!
