Shopping on a Sunday

I think today went well. The boyfriend (also known as Nick) asked me to go shopping with him cause he didn't have a clue as to what to buy my lovely daughter Jenna. They've only been together 9 months and they go to the mall often, so I don't know why he couldn't figure out what to get her LOL Anywho, we loaded up the Yukon and went to the mall today. All I've got to say is that boy must really love my daughter to spend the afternoon shopping with me and 3 of Jenna's sisters (all younger).

He managed to get her favorite perfume, of which she was out. And he got a cute little shirt for her that Lauren insisted Jenna would like. I think Lauren liked it too and figured she could borrow it ;) I fed him a cookie, cause let's face it, a trip to the mall isn't complete unless you get a yummy cookie from the cookie place.

Of course, I stopped by the book store. I knew exactly what I wanted and I think it was my quickest trip ever LOL I got 2 new mysteries. I'm so anxious to read them! I'll let you know what I think :)

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

A Lady Awakened by Cecilia Grant

I won an ARC of this on Goodreads - thank you so much! I enjoyed it so much! My favorite romances are of the Regency period and this is that time period. But that is where all similarities to others end. Mrs. Russell (I just can't bring myself to call her Martha LOL) is a new widow who comes to realize she will loose her home and her dowry if she doesn't produce a male heir. The kicker to this is that the late Mr. Russell's brother is a total jerk-face who has taken advantage of women in their home when he lived there as a young man. Enter Mr. Theo Mirkwood...the rogue who has been sent to the country as a punishment by his father. Mrs. Russell employs Mr. Mirkwood as her "stud" for a month so she can conceive a child and claim the inheritance. Mrs. Russell believes she can't take any pleasure from their daily (later it becomes nightly) encounters. Theo eventually changes her mind. Martha is so set on her plan to thwart her late hus

So Harley has this interview to do

for church. She's suppose to interview one of the "older" members of the church about their Christmas memories and she'll have a presentation to do in front of the whole church at one of our Christmas programs. That is all fine and dandy, but she's in 3rd grade. Can you see her trying to take notes for when they answer her question of "what is your most memorable Christmas memory?" There is no way she can write even half way fast enough to get it down. I understand what they're trying to do and it's great! But what were they thinking asking a 3rd grader to do it? We have tons of 6th graders...let them do it. I'm tempted not to even bring her tonight for it. What should I do?

Until Next Time...
