We must love you...

You know that you must be loved when we drag our little family out of bed at 6 am to go to breakfast for your birthday...
Happy 50th Birthday Darlene!!! (And Doreen too...)
Really, the girls were quite comedic with their emotionality. Normal daily emotion + getting up earlier than usual = a lot of crying over stupid stuff...
I did finish the poster this morning around 2:30 am. Oh, how a bad day can throw me off course so horribly! I ate one whole layer of the chocolates. They tasted awful after the first 5 or so... I forced myself to eat more, I was so mad, I just wanted something to occupy me, well, more than the poster was, anyway.
So "the follow-up" phone call never came, big surprise. Even with me leaving a message to remind the dude of "the follow-up" phone call. I decided, after dwelling on it all day, that I am done with being prim and polite, that I need to stand up for myself and make sure that people understand what it is that I am saying, not turning things around into what is easier for them to hear or understand. So my message was kind of curt and to the point... maybe that's why I didn't get a call back... I grew some balls.
Intimidating...
I got my house all cleaned today!!! All I have left is the floors that need to be Swiffered... not too shabby.
This was what I really wanted to do today:
My Mother's day gift, that I have been nagging Mer about it for a year or two. It's a piece of sheet metal, 16 inches by 8 feet long. I attached it to the wall (all by myself, I really should have waited for help...) and now I have a place to put all of those cute embellishments that I buy where I can see them, and remember to use them!
Thanks Jen for the cookies! One of those little things that helped to make this day better than yesterday....

Love your sheet metal. My mother got me one last week, when we found this cute shop. Mine is not flat like yours it as design on it.
Where did you get your magnets?

Glad I could help...and it helped me too, because I was desperately in need of cookie dough....
