Green Belt??

Well, I am home from my trip to see Lisa and life is zooming fast once again. I was so calm in Tallahassee. It was so beautiful there. Canopied roads, hills, it felt so Northern! LOL I was totally at ease in the home of my dear friends. I even came home with all kinds of goodies. :-)

Today is one of those Supermom days. I am about to leave for Peter's Tae Kwon Do test. He is going for the Green belt! We'll see what happens. He was an orange belt when we stopped going for a year and a half. Now he's back and has caught right up into his old routine. He goes with his grandpa twice a week and Grandpa tells me Pete is going to be great! I have no doubt.

Then we leave the TKD test and head for Maddie's softball game. Luckily, they are both five minutes away from each other. ;-) Maddie is playing so well this year. I am so proud of my athletic kids!

It's going to be a while before I am in a new routine with this crazy messy office. I'll try to keep up with my blog, though.

Later.

I'm a bad blogger!

Ok, so I come to the conclusion that I suck at blogging! LOL

Really. I seem to find the time to check my email several times a day, but I can't seem to find the time to blog. I am going to be optimistic, though, and believe that it is only because my life has been so crazy busy since I got home from Nashville and not that I am a failure at a simple thing like typing regularly. ;-)

Today I am sitting in my new office. Yup!I got me an office. Perhaps you'll see pics here soon. (But don't hold your breath!) Actually, it's our walk-in closet. We took our stuff out and put my office in and now our bedroom has a whole "less is more" thing going on. It looks great (the bedroom! not the office). We went to Lowe's and found these cool free standing clothing racks with covers that match my curtains and keep the whole "island cabana" theme going. We had thought about building an actual new closet, but besides the fact that we wanted it done NOW, I like the ability to still rearrange the furniture when we get bored. Building a new closet would have killed that for sure, and Keith and I rearrange regularly. (I guess it's like getting a whole new house without having to move!)

The office will have to wait to be cleaned up and organized because today I am off to a mini vacation. I am headed to see my dear friend Lisa Cowell, the other half of Blue Moo. She is still actively involved in the designing business, however she is somewhat geographically challenged at the moment due to a continued series of appointments in the Tallahassee region. So, I'm gonna pack up some fun and take the show to her! I told her to get her hard hat on, cuz I'm comin' to pick her brain all weekend! I have a ton of new ideas and since she has "been there, done that" to just about every crafting related subject under the sun, she has a lot of answers I am looking for.

I am also looking forward to some major stitching time. I have just finished the daunting task of doing our taxes, so I am really ready for a break. The bad thing is that I will miss a couple of Maddie's softball games. She is on fire this year and I have so much fun at those games. At least I'll be back in time for spaghetti dinner and talent show at school next week. :-) AND, next week Peter tests for green belt in Tae Kwon Do! We are definitely busy around here.

Well, that should catch you up, fine readers. Thanks for being interested in us and our work! We'll have some great new things to show you when I get back. Until then, check out Lisa's site: http://www.lisacowell.com
