Eggcellent Eastering

-
I had a long blog post completed last night that somehow disappeared. Maybe it was for the best as I had a lot to say and many disappointments to reveal. Problem is, I can't hide much so I'm pretty sure everyone knew how I felt yesterday. Yesterday was hard! It kept my poor husband up till 2 am...relaying my whole week of disappointments. I had no idea how much everything was affecting me. I love talking to him. He makes sense out of all my concerns. I feel sorry for people who don't have someone like Mark. He is my best friend, the only one I can trust my feelings with, and that is completely apparent during this past week. 

Easter sucked. I'm left hoping that Charlie didn't notice and that spending time with her cousins allowed her to be blinded to the other family squabbles that was happening. I hope that this was not the case when I was little. Most of my family values comes from the tight knit family I experienced when I was younger. We spent Sunday's sitting in church together, having lunch together, and the holidays were filled with an all day celebration at my Grandparents house. I want that. Always have. When we moved away I thought I was missing out on that...I thought it was still happening (just without me). I'm not sure if it was or wasn't but apparently it isn't a value that anyone else has (or so I'm feeling). 

All that aside. My kids looked beautiful, we had fun gathering Easter gifts for them, and we were left with full bellies at the end of the day. Mark made rocking deviled Easter eggs, I made a twice baked potato casserole, and loved coloring JUST one egg😘!

Calling All Women

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 ...

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 ...

My latest obsessions….puzzling The week after Coyote made a surprise visit! It’s been awhile since I posted! I was just looking back on some posts and giggled so I think it is important to continue since posts tell the story of my life. These pictures were from our latest venture to Paso Robles to see Coyote! Mark, I, and Charlie drove to Paso Robles California in approximately 18 hours. We stayed three glorious days and drove home within the sametime frame. While we were there, we got to see Hearst Castle, visited San Luis Obispo, saw the ocean and tons of beached Sea creatures, ate amazing food, drank amazing coffee, visited a couple of thrift stores, art galleries, and was surprised to find a outdoor vending machine full of specialty meats and cheeses. We purchased a cheese that was literally black all the way through. It was so good and tasty. It had a wonderful lemon taste to it and was very mild. Our Airbnb was located on a Vineyard. Coyote, Kees, and Pharaday even came over and ...
