Here!

Yes I am!

I had a less than, my usual, crazy weekend. In fact I slept late on Saturday and lounged in bed all day yesterday. It's been a long time since I did that. I am rested but still sluggish today, in a good kind of way.

Anyway, Saturday when I finally got moving, I had a hair appt with (by) my Sissy and then Lunch with our girly crew at Tokyo Japanese Steak House

My nieces love this place...

 

and Melissa, Staysa, and I love the Boiling Pot Menu....Yum!

I did some shopping at New York and Company also, while at the Mall....Its my favorite store. I could not resist. Plus I had $60.00 in "City Cash"

 and an additional $20.00 in rewards money.

I got this cute pink shirt. I love the flowers around the coller.....

and this. I'm starting to add blue to my closet idk....

and these.....!

too bad I can't get a pair of those legs to go with them LOL.

I also got a pink belt, and cute printed scarf (to add to my addiction, I mean my ever growing collection) and a cute flowery pink watch that matches everything in the bag...ya. But here's the best part, I got it all for $55.00.....that's right! That's why I love this store!

After an exhausting day of pampering and shopping (all about me) or as Joe saids "such a life for Mimi".....then Joe and I were off to dinner with Fred and Melissa to continue her birthday celebration.

We went to Brutole.

I had this......

Then back to Melissa and Fred's to drink more wine and play Skippo untin1:ooam, hence the lazy lounge day yesterday hehehe.

So there you have it, an old fashioned "Mary Blog Post". Ya, I know a little boring but give me a chance. Let's see if I can get my grove back.

Maybe Ill be back tomorrow.....see ya peeps,

M.E.

Happy May!

Its been so long. I keep meaning to come back, but then I get overwhelmed with how long its been and then my ADD and OCD get involved in my sensitive head and I just say ...well you know.

Anyway I thought I might do a everyday in the month of May to jump start but then I missed the starting gun on Wednesday and here we are on Friday May 3, 2013.....Anyway, better late than never.

Last time I checked in here it was October 2012. So much has happened in this crazy life since then.

I dont know where to start today so for now I'll just say Happy Friday (first one in May) and leave you with a quote......

"Dont wait for someone to bring you flowers. Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul"

-unknown-

Maybe I'll come back tommorrow or maybe Monday. I'll look for inspiration over the weekend.

see ya Peeps

Steelworkers for Elizabeth Warren

This is not a political statement post. Just me doing my photography thing. Check out the photo album in the left hand column, to see all my photo journalism from the day.

Here are some of my favorite shots......

 

Back Again

No, I'm not trying to make this habit, well actually maybe I am. Just no presures...ya know what I mean?

Anyway lots going on these days. I feel  like I have no down time anymore. But it's funny, I think I thrive best when I'm movin and grovin through life. I have no time to vacuum and clean the bathroom but I have so much fun, so I guess it's ok as long as I get to at some point, right?

So let me catch you up.

Lisa made me these last week....

 

Some of you know about these, but for those that don't, these are my most favorite food EVER!!! Not just chocolate or chocolate cake but most favorite FOOD ever!!! Did I say that already? These are Lisa's famous chocolate cake (or cupcakes, I'll take them in any form, thank you very much). Anyway I gave her a hair cut and she paid me in cupcakes....yes I know, I'm shameless....But I only ate two,Stephanie and Joe have no respect for my addiction LOL.

Moving on to more food.....Melissa and I escaped with no kids and met up at the mall Saturday. We stared off at New York and Company, and after doing some serious damage in there, we headed off to lunch at the Tokyo Japanese Steak House. This place was awesome. We had the Boiling Pot...Yumm! Check it out.....

Raw meat and and veggies arrive at the table and then you just throw them in the pot!

we shared this for dessert.....

Fried Ice Cream of course :)

Saturday night consisted of Charms Remembered, complete with hot rum apple cider....

And Sunday took me on a 100 mile round trip Motorcycle ride...... and more food!

Stacey joined Joe and I for a ride to Browns in Salisbury...

And then Karen Joined us too for all the good stuff from the sea. I had baked scallops and tried steamers again for the first time in years....

They were ok but I think I still have a texture issue...um ya idk....But we had a great time..lots of laughs...

it was a great weekend with awesome weather.

I have other stuff buts that's all I heve time to share for now,

See ya peeps....

A Successful Scrapbooking Weekend!

I'm  still feel tired from my marathon scrapping weekend. I came right out of it and worked a full eight hour day yesterday. Ya ya I know, no big deal to most of you, but for this princess that's a big deal. Good thing I love my new job or I might even be cranky along with tired, but that's a whole other story. More on the new job later. Today is a reveiw on the weekend.

So I haven't paper scrapped in quite a few years now. I've done an occasional project here and there but no good old fashion scrapbook layouts. I haven't even digital scrapped in a long time so this weekend was epic. I really got my scrap on. The dormet creative juices came flowing out. I'm so inspired I even decided to blog about it....so here I am!

The scariest part of the weekend was when I opened up "Pandoras scrap-booking closest", YIKES! There are no words to describe. I'll just leave it at that. I didn't even have recent pictures printed or anything, (even though Ive been planning to attend this event for weeks now).

Anyway I started out Friday night with nothing but my laptop and and some images to edit from a photo shoot last weekend. I sat and edited and soaked it all in. Then I got up Saturday morning and threw WHATever into the back of my car. I did find some old some old pictures of Joe and I ,I had gathered a while ago with the intention of starting an album of him and I, since most of my other albums are kid, holiday and family stuff, anyway that would do.....and I was off.

On my way I stopped off first at Starbucks to redeem my free drink coupon. I was ready with this in my hand.....

My Venti Carmel Non Fat Latte!!!! Ya Baby!!!

A few hours later my work station looked like this.......

Actually this is kinda neat, things got crazy from here on out.... by Sunday afternoon at four o'clock I'd done five and a half, 6 by 12 layouts, plus an altered clipboard. Not to bad for this rusty uninspired die hard.

Melissa Yorba and her friend Diane were flawless hostesses, of this "shindig". They worked hard and made it so awesome, especially the food. You know i'm all about the food....Ya lets talk about the food. Lots of munchies sweets and candy are essential ingredients for successful scrapping, but lunch on Saturday was my favorite. Check this out....

We had a few of these babies to devourer....yum!!!

 Then to top it all off, I won a door prize......

and a page layout challenge......

So I went home with lots done, full of good food...... and I have prizes!!!

So now that totally pigged out over the weekend, yesterday I was determined to be good so I went to an old favorite place, Arams, I haven't been in a while, and picked up my special custom salad. Ya this is what salad is all about..... I think I need another one today......just look at those cucumbers. Since I can't eat seeds and nuts anymore. My friend John cut them up special for me since he knows this hungry girl can't have a salad without my cucs.....Thanks John :) btw the grilled chicken on this is to die for!

later on my boss but this on my desk.....She loves me :)...or maybe we're still in the honeymood stage of our work relationship lol.

Anyway...that's all for today, peeps. Happy Tuesday....I think I'm back to kickboxing tonight.....ouch, its been a few weeks.....see ya :)
