Sunday....

Well, our company came and went. It was so good to see them! The kids were adorable as ever....and perfectly behaved after 2 days in the car....amazing. We had lunch together before they started out for Disney World. They are coming back on Friday, and we are taking them to the beach on Saturday for some fun in the sun. I'm looking forward to it. It was 85 here today....very warm. Of course tomorrow is supposed to be 65, so we will get a break, however our summer is just about here. You could feel it in the air today.

This evening I put dh's car on eBay. It's a 1957 Ford Custom 300, and you can see it HERE. Go ahead, bid on it....

I was reading Kara and Michelle's journals and they are so cute! However, it is after 9 on Sunday night, and I need to get to bed....so I'll give you just a taste of 100 things about me....

You have the Simpson's on your checks? Well I never would have guessed THAT. To single space in your journal you have to hold down the shift key while you hit enter--it's that simple. Cool list. I might try it when I get some patience...

That was SO cute! You are ALWAYS so cute! I'm too tired now though. I'm going to come back and read it again tomorrow so I can properly appreciate it :-)

I'm so happy people are doing this! I think when you start to write, you think of things you usually wouldn't. My husband works for Kash N Karry, which is owned by the same company as Food Lion. Food Lion doesn't even exist down here anymore. I guess they only have them in North Florida. I used to watch Degrassi Jr High! I loved their Canadian accents. ~Melissa

How come I smile so much when I read your entries? As soon as I come here I know I am going to be smiling! I loved your 100 things about you and it was nice learning more about you. I also liked the original "Barney" children, especially Tina. Wasn't there a Lucy too, but she got older and developed boobies and was like gone all of a sudden? Hmmm, who knows! And, I see you live even numbers too! Neato mosquito! Any time you are ready for that tattoo, let me know! I will come to FL and bring you!
Hugs and love, Lisa
