My beautiful daughter surprised me with this beautiful necklace the other day. Getting into the car at the end of a busy day at work, and finding this necklace hanging on the rearview mirror, again affirmed that I am blessed…

I am beginning to doubt that our tomatoes are going to get any bigger, let alone ripen. Hoping to make a batch or two of homemade salsa!

Hard to believe that the summer of 2011 is winding down. Unfortunately Keith, and I have been unable to do some of the exploring that we had planned on, but overall it has been a great summer…especially now that our three children are all back home under our roof. And speaking of children…amazing to think that my ‘baby’ will be 20 years old in eight days. It almost seems like time has sped up.

And, speaking of time. Two weeks remaining of this Case Management class, and I will officially have a year of graduate school behind me. I am so anxious for this journey towards my Masters Degree to be over. I’m tired of school responsibilities, and my never ending procrastination that tends to stress me out, much too often.

Much I would love to do this weekend. Unfortunately I really need to concentrate on that diningroom. Ugh. I look at all that ‘stuff’, and think about all the money that I have spent on a hobby that I have never really accomplished anything, and it makes me ill. Anyways, if all goes well I will have that diningroom pulled together by the end of the weekend…I hope. Especially excited to begin a few DIY projects in there.

Well, I could go on, and on, but a certain textbook is calling me. Until next time…
