-a 52 ounce bag of m&m's ("ems") from sam's... we needed to restock, as one M for each successful trip to the potty is rewarded)
-a new blue's clues ("coos coos") toothbrush
-watering daddy's garden and the slide with water from her pool
-a few trips to the bathroom all by herself (i mean, she opened the door, got herself ready, sat on the potty and went... all by herself...)
-a few reminders to mommy and daddy that she needed to go potty
-coloring a happy birthday banner for her friend abby
-dry panties ALL day long!!
-a present from mommy and daddy for doing so good with the potty... as lilly calls it "snoopy snoopy"
(and of course, a big knock on wood from me!)

conversation
to preface this conversation:

me: yeah, i just feel like crap.
lilly: mommy, cappy?
dave: [smirk]
me: [smirk]
lilly: cappy, mommy? cappy?
me: yes, lilly. mommy's head hurts.

wednesday ramblings
so, here is the basement... the shelving/desk/office is basically done!! (well, the woodworking part, which was the MAIN thing going on...)
because of the garage sale, we had to move everything back to the basement, and i had to shove everything in a 'spot' pretty quick. so... as you can see, we need to clean up and organize now :)
and here is PROOF that i have been creating something...
i helped erin out with corner rounding, punching holes, and ribbon-ing 300+ (or did we make 600?!?!) wedding programs for one of her good friends.
here we are working... cracking a grin because dave asked us if we were going to look up...
(and i just remembered that we ate a wee bit of ice cream (to keep us awake), and what was left over managed to stay in my fridge all day long!! well, for at least another 10 minutes...)
and the last pic for tonight...
weve been working on the yard...
weve been looking around a bit, and we realized we really like japanese maple trees. those of you who know me know how 'cheap' i am... (i say that proudly)... and i was not about to spend $130 on a 2 foot tree... teehee.
well, thanks to mr. sam walton, we now have a little baby japanese maple :)
happy father's day to dave.

summer break
survived our 3 day garage sale... rain and all.
sunday, dave and i weeded and mulched the yard after living here for only 3 years... and our bodies can still move today :)
today, the 1st day of 'real' summer break.
this afternoon... i napped while lilly napped. not that i needed to, or should have. my list of things to do is huge, and napping is the last thing on that list.
i napped because i could :)
did i ever mention that napping is one of my top 5 favorite things to do?
for real, it is. i know. im bad.
(but i did take the girls on 2 walks this morning, so i guess i was a little tired... lol. yeah, that justifies the nap enough for me!)
happy summer :)

more NYC
since i should be headed to bed, i thought i'd just post a few more pics instead of spending half and hour writing something up... (time~10:23PM)
lilly the big wig at 'martha'
dave:"there's a guy down there in his underwear."
me: "is it the naked cowboy!?!?"
dave: "who's the naked cowboy?"
the new apple store... very cool, all underground, though you can't see it from this pic.
strolling on 5th avenue, headed to central park...
that's a pretty good recap of our NYC pictures...
time~10:33PM and i am headed to bed...

NYC
so our trip to NYC... we really did have sooooo much fun.
the city really is amazing, not to mention that my sister lives there :)
for me, that is what the trip was about... visiting my sister.
she spoiled us all.
here are some pics and stories to document the trip.
i am genuinely sad (mad) i didnt take more pictures... of more of the places we went.
(like all the places we ate, the markets, china town, dave and i at Chicago, and a picture of dave at all would have been nice.)
oh well, i'll get over it... just another reason to go back someday. i am however slowly forgiving myself for not getting more pics... well, because i was trying to keep track of a 2 year old in NYC. i suppose that is a bit more important than fulfilling my scrapping desires. on to the trip...
first stop... MSLO, workplace of my sister.
VERY VERY cool environment... white, glass, clean lines, fun organization... with hints of color and creativity everywhere... we got to see the test kitchen and some studios... so much fun. we got to meet quite a few of my sister's co-workers... all of whom were so so so friendly and nice. beautiful people. inside and out.
then, dinner here... dallas BBQ. dave loved it... i'm not a big BBQ fan, but it was good.
ok, what next. (not sure that i'll be going in order anymore...)
let's just keep talking about food...
(can i say that i have been craving these next 2 places since we got home... and probably will continue to do so until i go back.)
zen palate
i had MOO SHU FANTASIA (Sauteed shredded cabbage, carrot, glass noodles, mushrooms and soy protein. Served with 4 wheat crêpes) and this. um... yeah. my sister also introduced us to 'edamame'... soy beans.... yummmmm. for real, they are great, i just tracked some down at whole foods market here in town :)
omg... seriously people... it was sooooooooo delicious.
don giovanni
here i had... Spaghetti alla Carbonara - Bacon, Onions, Cream Sauce ... tasty and sinful... hey, i was on vacation!!
do yourself a favor, and eat at both of these places if you ever go to NYC. you'll thank me later :)
we also ate at bubba gump's. im not much for fish, but dave said his mahi mahi was the best he's ever had.
melissa surprised mom and i with pedicures, tasti d-light (YUMM!! yeah, you better get yourself some of this too), and some yummy chocolates... as a belated mother's day gift. soooo much fun to be pampered! oh, and i also got some fun scrapbook goodies at a very fun paper store with my bday gift certificate from my sister :)
the subway... an interesting experience. or what lilly likes to refer to as 'noisy'... and said 'i'm ready' every time it made a stop...
time's square...
ok, i think that is all for now!! (i've been writing this entry over the past 3 days... so i think i better post it now!!) plus, lovely blogger is not letting me add anymore pics at the moment, so ill post more. separately. later.
have a great weekend!!

happy mosey day
'happy mosey day mommy'
'happy mosey day daddy'
'happy mosey day gamma'
'happy mosey day birdies'
yes... lilly can't leave anyone out :)
(and that's 'happy mother's day' in lilly language... if you weren't quite sure.)
dave and lilly got me a gift card for a massage at The Spa at River Ridge. LOVE this place. NEED a massage... badly. can't wait till school is out so i can drop lilly off with dave for lunch and be pampered!! and i might even get some new teeth... lol. well, not from the spa of course. we will see what the dentist has to say when i go in.
we had a nice weekend... went home and saw both sets of parents, as well as a handful of friends. it's so hard to see and do all while we are home for less than 48 hours, but we try our best to rotate and do the best we can!!
we even saw joe gatchell, if you don't know who that is...well, you are missing out. we got a pic of him on the cell phone, but im not sure that we know how to get that to the computer. ill have to do a 'meet joe gatchell' post someday. and in the meantime, you will just have to wonder....
...oh, we solved (well, we were hinted towards) the post-it note bandits. not at all who we thought but rather some friends from BG who we had no idea were passing through columbus. these are 2 grown adults, with 2 adult sons... by they way. educated, sophisticated, artsy, and very creative. yeah... here's how professional they are... but obviously very very fun:) who else would post-it note someone's house. they crack me up. (and if you are reading, jan and carol, sorry we thought one of you had kid writing!! hehehe)
oh yes, now that i have a few BIG things crossed of my list (and ill have a little time to put together some kind of goodie)... i NEED to draw a name for my 'contest' back on april 30th... im such a slacker.... i'll do that right now!!
the winner is... TRISHA!!
(ill be sending you something in the mail soon!!)
k... sorry no pics in this post...
ill have to aim for that next time around!
have a great week everyone :)

out with the old....
...in with the NEW!
If any of you have seen me in the last 6 or so years... you've probably seen me toting around a green Vera Bradley backpack.
I LOVE this thing.
My sister got it for me when I worked at Hallmark... (with my nice little discount).
I use this bag every single day, year round, all seasons... everywhere. A few times here and there a new sort of bag/purse, or a wannabe VB backpack, would try to move in... but I always came right back to the green backpack. the original bag is falling apart, faded, torn, snagged... it's very well loved and it's looking pretty bad.
This year for my birthday, my wonderful wonderful Aunt sent me some money with specific instructions to get something special for myself. the first thing that came to mind? ... a new VB bag. thank goodness for ebay i found a replica of my bag, whose pattern and style has been retired a few years now.
here is the old, and the new...
THEN to top off one amazingly generous gift, i just got a Mother's Day gift from the little guy i watch...
a NEW style Vera Bradley packback...
WOW! that's all i have to say about that...
so... 2 NEW VB backpacks...
i'm all set at least 10 years :)
thanks to 2 very very important families in my life...
i am smiling VERY BIG right now!!
(with my mouth closed though... cause i flossed off a huge chunk of my front tooth last night. yeah, that's nice, huh?!?)
happy mother's day :)

nice to meet you
since i dont have time to post my pic with all my garage sale goodies right now... i thought id share the newest of lilly's sentences :)
a while back we taught her how to say "nice to meet you!"
sometimes she'll even throw in a little hand shake...
so cute... as said by lilly...
"nice to mee chew!"
"nice to mee chew daddy!"
"nice to mee chew mommy!"
"nice to mee chew juicy!"
"nice to mee chew duck!" (said to a pic of a duck on a box at the store)
"nice to mee chew poopy!" (said to, well...)
yes, you read that right... our polite little darling, has a great sense of humor, and has formally introduced herself to her poopy. (which was in her potty, which is a good thing...)
but now, she says this randomly (like tonight in the grovery store), because she knows we think it's funny and we are trying hard to be good parents by telling her... "lilly, that is not nice. we don't talk about our poopy in public." (when really dave and i are looking at each other thinking..."oh my gosh!! she is HILARIOUS!! bwahahahha!!)
so... "nice to mee chew poopy!" has topped the list of lilly's creative sentencing thus far. can't wait to see what else she enlightens us with :)

pretty random stuff
ahhh... so im finally posting again...
here's a LO i did at a crop a few weeks ago...
look at that cheese...
this picture was when our daffodils were pretty...
and before our dandelions were a foot tall...
i wish i could say that paisley was Mandarin Pixie...
it's not... but some paisley goodness just might be in the works at MP (wink, wink)
the letters however, were created with MP stamps :)
nice to know that *8* people read my blog :)
(3 of which came out of lurkdom!! yeah denise and lori!!! and i *think* yeah for my sister... because an anonymous commenter used the name 'fo-fo' which was coined by my sister in 1984)
i'll be drawing a name soon for some sort of goodie...
(so if you are still stalking this blog without commenting, well then... comment on the post below to have a chance at winning your dream prize. don't be a stalker. i used to be one. in high school. it's not nice. teehee)
funny how i actually have a ton i could write about right now, like...
-lilly has started calling me mommy every now and then (she usually only says momma)
-how lilly was prouncing around in a t-shirt, and her purple mesh tu-tu around her knees (yep, that's all) after a trip to the potty
-how lilly says "knee ha!" when she pretends to ride a horse (which could be in the form of a box, a sippy cup, your leg... you name it, it can be a horse)
-how dave is working his butt off to get our cabinets done, so i will be less of a grump
-lilly now has a live in boyfriend (our friends are camping out here for a while)
-national scrapbook day is this weekend (watch here and the MP blog for some fun)
...but i won't keep rambling, cause if you are still reading, im sure you've got something else to do!!
and another LO for your viewing pleasure...
eh, one more, then im done :)
all done :)

post-it notes are the new TP
so we came home from a surprise dinner with my parents saturday to find these stuck all over the front of our house...
*a mixture of adult and child handwriting
*they know our names (and spell them correctly)
*they know about dave's workshop project
*they did this in broad daylight
we have a *good* idea of who the culprit is...
but nothing is for certain :)
just a fun little thing to come home to :)
check out the MP blog for new design team work.
these 2 ladies constantly amaze me with their scrapping goodness :)
and... (if you are still reading) it's time for another 'comment and win a little something from me' drawing. anyone who leaves a comment on this post will be put into a drawing to win something. what? dont know yet. (maybe something personalized... oh, now that could be scary)
i'd just really love to know if there are more than 3 people who read this thing... (my own mother doesnt even read this... unless i send her the link to look at something specific... geez mom)
happy wishes for a happy week to everyone :)
*a mixture of adult and child handwriting
*they know our names (and spell them correctly)
*they know about dave's workshop project
*they did this in broad daylight
we have a *good* idea of who the culprit is...
but nothing is for certain :)
just a fun little thing to come home to :)

i am a mom
ok... ive been coming to the realization that i am a real mommy now... (not that i wasn't before, but you know what i mean)
i know this because....
~i double tie my own shoes
~i say things like "someone is going to get hurt", "keep your hands to yourself", "this is your last warning", and "one more bite and then you'll be done"
~i wipe someone else's boogers off my hands onto the grass
~i eat fruit snacks, goldfish, and cheerios by the handful
~i catch puke with my bare hands
~i speak to myself in 3rd person
~i can read select books with my eyes closed
~i make up very cute little songs for any occasion
~i skip, hop, jump, around and around and around the house
...of course i thought of a ton of these off and on (everytime i do something so motherly it scares me), but i didnt jot them down, so they've escaped my crowded little mind. maybe next time around i'll make a list (which will really be about 8 different sheets of scrap paper, that get buried in piles) for another post :)
have a happy weekend everyone.
