Mum likes reading, decorating, shopping with the girls, and Starbucks. She also feels funny writing in the 3rd person. Papa (also known as Sparky) is currently looking at me with a blank stare having asked him to add something about himself to the blog. (Now he wants to say something) The only thing he loves more in life than music and Coke is his wife and kids. (Awww...) :) Little Lotte is a genius on the computer and makes me fall over laughing every day with her quick wit. She loves computers and animals. Sweet Pea abandoned her family and moved to Phoenix for work and is now married as of 2/28/06. She is beautiful and smart and the most nurturing person I know. She gave me the greatest gift ever when she made me a grandmother. I am the proud Mum Mum to Andrew Christopher. There are no words to describe the joy of having a grandson!

How rude...


So I call Sweet Pea last night and I am all like "hi" and she is all like "HI!" and I am all like "what's up?" And she is all like" We are going to Paris for our honeymoon!!!" and I am all like PMSing and jealous that she is taking her husband to Paris and Sparky said I have every right to be jealous of her choosing to take her husband to Paris on her honeymoon instead of her mother and I am like "THAT is why we have been married for 26.5 years."

I love that man.

And I still love Sweet Pea. And the man who stole my daughter. And she BETTER bring me back a copy of Madeline in FRENCH.

Heaven - ly Dissertations


On the way home from Phoenix, a discussion began on religion. We ended up on our thoughts of what heaven is like. Little Lottie said she liked Sweet Pea's definition - that heaven is whatever you perceive it to be.

Me: Well then, heaven will be me with my family because I love being with you all!


Me: And Johnny Depp will be moving in with us.

Sometimes...


the ONLY reason I don't update more often is because I actually forget how to get to the dashboard section of this blog. How SAD is that? Sad indeed.

I've got a lot of hats on right now so the blogging has slowed down. I've been busy mailing wedding invitations, planning two classes that I am teaching for Prescott College, taking on a student teacher, making wedding plans, planning for my principal's observation, making wedding plans, dieting, making wedding plans, planning for a two week trip around the state of Arizona with the inlaws for right after Sweet Pea's wedding, making wedding plans, not dieting, worrying about getting 2 cent stamps, trying to find the cent sign on the keyboard, making wedding plans, preparing a mini presentation to my fellow teachers at the next staff meeting on teaching writing, and making wedding plans. There are a ton more hats but I just don't look good in more than a zillion hats so I'll leave some off.

Here's a picture of me in a beret. Paris, take me away!!!
