Sometimes life starts going so fast that you forget to buckle your seat belt.

This is going to be one of those posts where I’m all over the place so bear with me. This week has been one of those weeks. It all started with Keegan’s third birthday. Followed by dinner and a movie with my girlfriends to go see Julie & Julia. And a doctors appointment for me, where the baby’s heart rate sounded just beautiful. Can I get an amen?!?

Yesterday I turned thirty-four and I couldn’t have been more pampered. My hubby simply rocks. He brought home flowers, a six-pack of bottled root beer, a toblerone, and tums. I love that man. The kids painted a picture for me and made a pin cushion. And then we went out for Mexican food with my family where I was greeted with more flowers from my beautiful sister and a chocolate cake. Mmmmm….

I had a wonderful conference call with my editors, who I might add are the best editors in the whole wide world. I’m just sayin’. Tonight I’m going out with my girls for dinner and to see Wicked. I CANNOT wait!

Tomorrow morning we are going to Le Garage Sale here in Austin. If you are in the Austin area, this is a must attend event if you are looking for a bargain, boutique style. But first we are going to hit up some trailer food for breakfast, and possibly even lunch. Don’t worry, I’ll bring my camera and show you what I’m talking about. Austin is becoming a mecca for fabulous trailer fare.

Then Sunday is my baby shower. Oh it’s all getting close my friends.

I still have some pictures from last weekend to show you that will have to wait for next week. And I’m also getting the nursery all ready to show you. Today I’m washing baby items and making lists of things I still need to get.

And I have my book deadline that coincides right with the baby’s delivery at the end of the this month. I promise to keep popping in here, it is my little break, my place to vent and share.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and I’ll see you on the other side. Make it the best weekend you can!

    Happy Day to you! And a great big “amen” too! You are definitely pampered.

    Hey, I know you are busy but, I didn’t hear back from you about Hope House. Did you get my email? Did you have questions? Drop me a line. :)

    Happiest Birthday Wishes to you. What a beautiful sounding day you had – and I’m glad that you’re extending it by going out with friends and really enjoying yourself.
    And to hear that all’s going well with the baby is good.
    And paper baby too – can’t wait to see that.

    Take care, and have fun.
