Ooh la la!

The lovely Shelly from http://mrscaptkerk.blogspot.com/ (Check it out! She's hilarious and cute to boot (yes, I said "to boot")) gave me my first blog award.
The excitement I have over this is midly embarrassing but it's nice to know someone out there is reading (since y'all aren't leaving comment ahem). Here it is...

I'd like to pass this along to my BFF, Cr at http://hiloak.blogspot.com/

Thanks Shelly!

I'm forgetful

I really am. I have great intentions but then I forget to follow through (that reminds me, need to email mom!). So, I told you I'd post the how-to on the cat eye glasses. Yea, that's not happening tonight.

I switched to my new office today and spent the better part of my time organizing and decorating everything to my liking. Unfortunately my desk is a long counter shared with someone else and I do not have my own office but if I did, I'd take some tips from these pretty work spaces:

Where have I been?!

Well, the short answer to that is Alaska.
The long answer? Super busy planning a bridal shower, getting ready for vacation, working on a 60th anniversary scrapbook, relocating offices, buying a "new" jeep, selling my old jeep (hopefully soon!) and then, finally, Alaska.
As you can tell I've been super busy but really, no reason for me to slack on the blog. I love blogging, I just need to make time for it.
Tonight you just get some highlights from our Alaska trip but tomorrow; a how-to on some awesome cat-eye glasses on a stick.

I got bangs!
