I now possess big hoop-y earrings!

Stuffing my face with Cinnamon Life (hungry!) after swimsuit shopping with Kendra! Fun! Most of the swimsuits are now 25-50% off, which means you can get a top OR a bottom. They don't have tons of matching ones to choose from. I did find an adorable floral one with a ruffle along the bottom, and it was 50% off! So, only $50. Then on the way to the back of the store, I got too distracted with cool new shoes and earrings! I have made it into the Summer of 2009 with no big hoop earrings. What is wrong with me? So, now I have some! And the cutest fancy, blingy silver rhinestone gladiator sandals. I'll have to show you their cuteness. I've been a little slow on the pictures, so Sorry.

Today was library day! We had fun, Ethan did the dinosaur march, and then had to go peepee towards the end. So much cooler than peeing his pants, so I was okay with skipping out. When we made it back, it was over! Sandra had gotten my purse and bag, so we were covered (Thank you, Sandra!)! We hung around while Ethan did puzzles, and I found Mary Claire a book about how to draw horses. Clay found the cutest book on a little mouse's fears, and we'll probably make him a little book on his fears (darkness, scary things, etc.).

When does your memory start to fade? My fading has already begun. I started a book, and I'm a good three chapters in, and I realized I've already read it. The worst part? I can't remember how it ends. Nothing better than a whole new experience, for free! So try rereading your own books! : )

Today we had a big crazy moment. The people who bought our last house called and wanted a copy of the plat map. Ches looked all over, and was late to his dermatology recheck (got two more places freeze-burned off, btw) because of all the sincere searching. He told me right before he left, so I took up the search. I had looked all over (files, drawers, tubs), then I asked St. Anthony (patron saint of lost things) to help me, and he did. I re-searched, more slowly, and found the OriGiNaL from the developer, with all the original signatures, and the stamp from the county, with the page from the country records written on it. (So, I'm feeling all in possession of an Important Document, hoping we don't have it illegally...) I called the new homeowners, and informed them (sadly), that there was a 20 ft. utility easement at the rear of the property, and they've already dug the hole for their new pool. Oh, I do not envy that position. Not only the wrong hole position, but the fun-ness of dealing with the city building inspectors. There are so many hoops to jump through! Anyway, I can plan for some things, and others you just take as they come!

Clay tried the new Breathe Right strips I got him, but tore it off after about 30 minutes. He just didn't like it. I sure hope the doctor can help him, 'cause I'm having no luck! : P

My battery is now down to 15%, so I'd better wrap it up, before I lose it all! Wish I had a warning like that on my real brain!

p.s. I'd recommend not eating like crazy after you come home from swimsuit shopping. It doesn't help so much with the fit. Just so you know.

p.p.s. I'm not losing it over Michael Jackson's death, just fyi. I am sorry for his family's loss, but I will be able to go on in my life.
