A Tulip and an Ice Cream Babe

There was a lone tulip underneath my oak tree this spring. Surpisingly it lasted long enough for me take some pictures on different days. Tulips don't usually last long in my backyard because Noah likes to tear them to pieces......

Korissa gets ice cream to eat with grandpa when she comes for her visits, but I decided to give her a cone a few weeks back instead of the usual in the bowl with syrup on top (thats how grandpa eats his). She was pretty excited about it too.

Sex and the City 2

A new Sex and the City 2 trailer is available, and it looks sooooooo good. Looks like Carries Ex Aidan is back, hmmmm, interesting! May 27th.

Stress relief

So, I'm doing a few things to release or rid myself of stress......

• No eating sugar (that starts tomorrow), seriously it's bad, bad, bad
• Working out with the Biggest Loser (Boot Camp and Yoga for weight loss), my buns hurt
• Writing
• Reading
• Listening to country music. Why is it that when you listen to country, you just sing a long, even if you don't know the words?

Things I wish I could do to release or rid myself of stress......

• Take a hammer and smash the freakin phone at work cause I'm sooooo tired of listening to it
• Tell clients what I really think of them when they whine about their bill
• or when they were hoping to get back a 6000 dollar refund and instead are ONLY getting back 5000
• Wear a tshirt that says I HATE TAXES and on the back says AND PEOPLE TOO
• Take a vacation to a really sunny place (but not too hot), just a place with no rain for at least a week
• Go see Clash of the Titans AGAIN, cause dang, Sam Worthington is nice to look at

Just some things

Saturday I took a fun trip to Whole Foods with my mom and niece Cassidy. First we stopped at Subway (sorry Jess we didn't support your store and got lunch in Tigard), then we went to Borders so Cassie could get a book. I did find the movie African Queen with Humphrey Boggart and Katherine Hepburn, but it was on Blue Ray and not DVD, so I didn't get it. I LOVE that movie, it was my grandpas favorite, and I've been looking for it wherever I go, but I will probably settle to getting it from Amazon one of these days.

We then headed over to Whole Foods, and I found some yummy donut holes (chocolate and some carrot cake ones). OH MY GOSH, Alicia Silverstone was on Oprah a while back talking about her book The Kind Diet (very good book), and she took a trip to Whole Foods on the show, and recommended these yummy "chicken" thingys, so I wrote them down, and scored on those at Whole Foods. After I ate them, I seriously went and looked several times to make sure they were vegan (even though I looked several times before buying them), because the vegan cheese tasted so much like regular cheese, I was scared I really just ate cheese. John even tasted it, and he said "that's pretty good". Yes, John seriously said that!

I also scored on some new Hugo soap, this time I got Pink Grapefruit.....it smells soooo good!


I also received (in the mail, cause I didn't go to the Lush store in Portland), some of my Veganese conditioner, which when I use now totally reminds me of Vegas since that was the first time I ever used it........

Sunday I took the pickle (thats what John calls the Babe) to the store to finish up the shopping, and found a super cute black summer dress for her. We then went to Lifesource (she sounds soooo cute when she says "liesource?" cause when she says something it sounds like shes phrasing it into a question), and she got to push the little cart around and grab all the food. She even put the food onto the belt. What a big girl.

Then we went to Britts birthday party. The highlight of that was seeing how totally cute her bedroom is. I wish I would have taken a picture of it, because it was that cute, and I'm not just saying that cause there were pictures of Edward and Jacob everywhere either.

Today I went in for an eye appt and got some new glasses. I can't wait till they come in, theyre super cute. My eyes have gotten way bad, so it's going to be nice to be able to see again. I hate the dialating of the eyes though.

Counting down to....April 15th.....and H coming home on the 19th!

"This fun"....says the Babe

Korissas new thing to say now is "this fun", (well, she also likes to say "what doin" and the ever popular "what's that"), so we had some "this fun" stuff this week. Wed. she wanted to ride in the wagon (she collected many pine cones on our wagon adventure), and then she wanted to blow some bubbles.

Letting me know she wanted to go for a wagon ride

She's been blessed with long lashes like her mommy....lucky!

Watching the squirrel eat some "nummies"

Seriously, how cute is this Babe!?

The wait is almost over......

A dream

So, with my yesterday tax season talk, I think I jinxed my dreams last night. I had a dream that our client Jerry (who really did come in yesterday to sign his taxes) came in to sign his tax papers and he spilled something all over his pants. We for some reason had a dryer in our office (dreams are weird), and we put his pants in the dryer to dry. So, he goes and sits behind this desk, waiting for his pants. I go over to the desk and see he's just sitting there in his underwear and I say "Well, Jerry, that's not something you see everyday."

Ok, what the heck? Have fun interpreting that dream! And, it is going to be really weird when he comes in again, cause I saw him in his undies.....ok, thats just weird!
