Tonight was Emily's first soccer game. We were shocked to see it lasted 80 MINUTES!!

WOW!! That was a long game! Unfortunately, the Concord Spiders lost 8-0 but we still clapped and cheered them on. It was 49 degrees and none of us thought to bring our jackets so we froze the whole time (felt much colder than that!). The next game is home again on Thursday night. This time we ALL will bring our jackets and long johns. LOL

Think I will go warm up with some of my homemade hot cocoa :). Mmmmm good!!!

I just noticed I am almost at 2,000 hits already! WOW!!!

I decided to play around with my blog a little so you don't get too bored with it

lol

Do I want to keep the music or not? I have been changing it once a week but now its starting to irritate me so I may just take it off ... plus its hard finding a song I even like although I do love this song playing now from the 80's. (Thanks Loobylou!)

So you tell me what you want.

Music yes? Or music no???? That is the question.

Met Robin, Mary, and Lorraine for bagels this morning...

Robin is one of my best friends who found out she had breast cancer about 6 years ago. She is such a fighter and just an unbelievable person. She beat that but not before it went into her bones. Now this week, she found out she has 3 lesions on her liver. Its not good!! I am just so sad!! They kept telling her as long as it did not go into her organs, they can fight, fight, fight and now this!! Man, it just stinks!!! She goes on Friday up to Duke and they will do a CAT scan of her brain to make sure that's ok. She can't take much more bad news and neither can I! She is taking it one day at a time and will continue to fight. BTW, she is only 41 years old with no family history. So get those mammograms ladies!!

Emily's first soccer game is tomorrow night at home so we will go watch her play at 6 pm. She has been practicing everyday after school till 5 so let's see if they can win their first game!!

I gave Ladybug her first allergy shot yesterday WITHOUT the help of the vet. I did good. She acted like she didn't feel a thing , thank goodness. I'll be glad when I only have to do it once a month.

PS And for those who guessed it was ME who had the most shopping bags (yes you thought that Mom!) it was not me. I had the LEAST. I spent the LEAST but still managed to buy a bundle :). It was Deb who spent the most!! hee hee

We shopped till we literally dropped yesterday!!!

I met up with Ellie & Deb yesterday and we drove to the Enchanted Cottage which is a huge stamp store about an hour away. We stopped at Dunkin Donuts on the way (which is my favorite!) and then we were ready to do some serious shopping. They were having a 25% sale so we were in luck! We started out at 8 am and were there by 10 when they opened. We ended up staying till 2 or 2:30 so you can all say we did not leave with empty hands :). Another stamper Debbie that we all knew met us there and we all had our photo taken (see above). Debbie had to get home to her small kids so we went to lunch nearby. While we were there, we used their phone book to see if we saw any other scrapbooking stores nearby. We were in luck! There was one about 8 miles away. Luckily, Ellie had her "GPS" so we used that for the directions. We had accidentally put in the wrong address so it took us to the right destination but it certainly was no scrapbook store I wanted to go into (it was way in the middle of nowhere back in a neighborhood) so after we figured we were not in the right spot, we called the store and found out we had written down the wrong road so we had to go a totally different direction. It was so worth it - this scrapbook store had so much paper I had never even seen before. It was great! All along the way Deb kept saying "Oh there's a Joanne's" so of course we had to stop there. More purchases there. Next she finds a "Michael's" so we stopped there. Then she sees a "AC Moore". Of course, we buy more stamps there (30% off there). We FINALLY get back to Ellie's house where we all just laid down our bags and we thought "I wonder who can guess whose bags are whose". So can you guess whose pile belongs to who? LOL We had a great day and we were gone 15 HOURS!!!! I am exhausted just writing this all down for you all to enjoy!!! LOL :)

The TAC Spring Supplement just came out TODAY!!!

WOO HOO. I have been waiting for this spring supplement to come out so I can order some new stamps for myself! :) If you would like to check them out, click here: http://www.theangelcompany.net/springsupplement.html and I will be happy to place an order for you. Just let me know...

Onto other things ... Emily is not going skiing this weekend like she had planned on. Both her and her bestfriend are both sick so they have to miss it this year :(. We had bought her ski pants, ski coat, ski gloves, a cute black hat - so I guess I will returning it all. Ski season is just about over here.

Nicholas came home with his interim for the semester. All A's and 1 B. We are so proud of him! Emily will get hers on Monday. I had to pick up Emily's other art drawings she was doing at school so she can finish them over the weekend. I think she deserves an A+ on each one :).

Our two new additions to the family ....

Were you thinking or hoping alpacas or llamas? Come on - admit it!! Sorry but we got these 4 wheelers yesterday. I haven't rode it yet but I can hardly wait!! Aren't they pretty????

I am testing to see if anyone can leave me a comment

Thank you so much Suzi for showing me how to get my comments button back. I can't wait to read all the 1,000's of comments you have for me. LOL
