OK!

Now, here's something to blog about.

At about 11:55 a.m. I received a text message. It was my hubby... He tells me that he is completely miserable. :(

SO. I am worried to pieces.. I text him back.... WHATS WRONG, I ask him....

He then responds with these exact words, "I made a nice picnic lunch for me and a little cutie and she's not here yet."

So, I ask him, "Where are you?"

He responds, "In the gazebo"......

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!! Right outside my building, there's a beautiful gazebo that sits beside the lake. So, I grab my purse and run out there..

All smiles, there he sits. And beside him is this beautiful basket full of goodies. Flowers, chocolate, sparkling juice with little wine glasses, sliced ham & cheese.. fancy sesame crackers.. pretty napkins, sliced watermelon. The works. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! I couldn't stop hugging him. :) :) :) :) :) :) And then he made me little crackers with spicey little mustard and the ham & cheese... one by one. And, we really had a nice visit. Lot's of little kisses and smiles in between.....

See, hubby and I have been together for 8 1/2 years. We've had our ups, we have our downs. BUT, no matter what, he has always been the most romantic, and sweet/good hearted man I have ever met. It was the nicest lunch date I've had in years (and the last one was with him, too).

After lunch, we took a walk. It was so peaceful. So romantic. <3

Then, he kissed me - and went on his way. <3

Thank you, sweetie. I love you.

What a nice surprise.

Life is good. And on my not so good days, I am going to refer to this blog post.. as a reminder as to how good it really is.

:)

Hope you are having an equally beautiful day.

I have to say. I LOVE to laugh.
When I go home from work, at the end of the day - I love sharing my stories about my day. BUT, more than anything else, I love to tell my hubby and my kids about what made me laugh. :)

Laughter..... it feels so good.

When I die - I want people to remember me and say, Boy, that girl made me laugh! :)

Anyway, what made me think to post this? Just the fact that I sometimes sit and think about my week, and what moments made me smile, or laugh....

I know.. I am silly. It's cool. I enjoy being me. And, I love a good laugh.

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Here's a site, sure to make you smile - maybe even laugh a little :)

Happy Hump Day!!!!!

And here we have - one more beautiful day!

I'm stretching to grab a hold of the weekend. I look forward to it.

We have a Bar mitzvah to go to. Justin's. He's like our very own kiddo. Although, he is one of the most strange and unusual kids I've ever known, as well as his parents (lol... and I do adore Robin). The apple seriously doesn't fall far from that tree... lolol... Anyway, his big day is this Saturday. I'm looking forward to it, and I know the kids are too. I'm the only one in our family that has been to one of these celebrations. I grew up on Long Island! Our community had a lot of Jewish families. It was cool. I got to experience their faith, and learn a bit about it. Very different from what I am used to. :) But, as always - I embrace every opportunity to learn something new from it.

Last night. Oh my. lol! We went Back to School shopping. School supplies! UGH! I cannot believe what they expect the parents to buy. What ever happened to pens, pencils, and a 3 ring binder??? Oh, and some loose leaf paper. Nope... not any more. Now, you can't even understand what some of the stuff on the list is! :P I'm not kidding! And, when all is said and done - we walked out of Staples $68.00 later!!!! This does not even include the Book bags (backpacks) and some other big stuff. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm ok. Now, what does one do if they have a "few" kids, and no money??? How do they manage? It's crazy! *Sigh ....... It's not easy for everyone. I am so completely blessed & fortunate in my life.

What else? Well... I don't know. I've been pretty busy at work, and pretty busy at home. With the kids getting ready to start school next week and all.. it's been a very exciting week at home. And, this week we've had some extra kids - so it's been a bit crazy. Plus, we've had a few nights with an unexpected guest. So, it's been busy. He's a nice guy, having a tough time, needing a peaceful place, and someone to talk to. Of course Fred is a love about it, and takes care of him the best he can. That hubby of mine is so sweet. He spends a lot of time helping others. It's in his nature. Nothing forced about it, whatsoever. One of the things I love most about him. :)
