16 March 2008

I'm so full! My neighbor had a going-away dinner for her sister and her partner this afternoon. There were seven of us, and we had, as always, a great time. On the menu was ham, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, applesauce, green beans, lima beans, and rolls. All home made. I brought Banana Cream Pie and Kelly made an Almond Apple Cheesecake. (The cheesecake was one of the best I've ever had, and I just entered it into a Word document. E-mail me if you'd like the recipe.) I'm home now, but like I said, too full. I'm glad there's still a lot of hours till bedtime!

I made Emily and her friends a carb-heavy breakfast of French toast and cinnamon rolls. It was what they asked for. I brought them up fresh sliced strawberries with Redi-whip as a snack. As they were leaving for home, they said they'd be back. Next weekend. I'm sure they liked the way they were treated here. I think Emily would prefer to be at their house. I'm about taking turns.

I've had a lack-of-sleep headache all day. I just couldn't fall asleep. It was probably because the kids were still awake. I woke up at 7:30, late for me, and was out of the house before 8:00 to meet Kit at the lodge. She had lots of pictures to show me on her computer. I think I'm about up to 15 on mine. Here's one Emily took today of us in her mirror. I'm wearing my favorite denim jacket.



I think a warm bath and pajamas are in my immediate future. Some TV or time with my book. I'm making an early night of it. Happy Sunday, friends.

Yum- lunch sounded wonderful. Great pic of you and Em. She sure looks so much like you.

I can imagine that it was hard to sleep knowing all those teens were in the house! Sure sounds like they had a blast and were well fed!

Rest up tonight!

I need you to come cook for me. My daughter and I eat a lot of chicken and salads.

Tomorrow I leave for a week in Mexico. I can't wait. But the flight will be long. I love to fly. BUT 8 hours in the air is a lot for me.

I have been getting a lot of grief on how long I wait to pack. Too funny. Laundry is done, clothes are sorted and packed. A girl must have options. And a small carryon that contains 1 day of clothes, my laptop and my cameras. The dogs laid down on the bed full of clothes and promptly fell asleep. I guess they didn't want me to pack either.

Have an awesome week.

And what you guys dined on at your neighbors sounds like a precursor to an Easter meal!!! :) ham is one of Bdd's favorites!

Happy Monday morning to you, I'm hoping you slept better,..it's hard with sleepovers, almost like you have to sleep with one ear and eye open... :)
