To my favorite 11 year old in the whole wide world

Your boyness perplexes me
Your kindness amazes me
Your energy dizzies me
Your sense of humor makes me smile

Don't ever change
Stay just the way you are

Happy Birthday-I love you

Ruby got a haircut
















Watched a lot of Ultraman














Kirk wiped out on his skateboard





















I dyed my hair a hideous burnt orange color and then back again to a basic, boring, beautiful shade of brown


















Made more cupcakes
This time with teal frosting

















Joined the YMCA...
Gotta get rid of these cupcake thighs before Summer

Putting the "Salvation" back in Salvation Army

I did a big thrift store outing on Tuesday. Jim was off work and I was able to go ALL BY MYSELF! I hit all my area stores and found nothing and more of nothing. It was so depressing. All the time in the world, money in my pocket and no kids.
My very last stop and I was beginning to think I was going home empty handed for the day. I was getting ready to walk out the door when I saw this vision in blue vinyl...












I paid my ten dollars and went home a very happy woman.
