HELP!!!

Seriously, I am going to have to buy another hard drive. I just got an e-mail from Shauna at ScrapOrchard. They have had a contest going on for the past 4 weeks and all the entries have been given away as "freebees". I downloaded so many great kits and templates it ain't funny. So, anyway, now she is hinting around that the Orchard Designers are teaming up with the Sunshine Girls (& a Guy) and that they are going to put out a new summer collaboration kit. Let me tell you, this kit is going to be SO not small! I'M GONNA NEED A NEW HARD DRIVE!! SOMEONE STOP ME BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!! :o)

Naked Mole-Rat

This little animal is called the Naked Mole-Rat and is from Africa. So if you are having a bad day and feeling sorry for yourself, remember:

It could be WAY worse, you could look like a dick with buck teeth.

A Soccer Style Weekend, in Hampton, PA

Well, we've survived another L O N G weekend! Man, I need to take some time off to relax.

Off to a late start, our travels didn't begin till close to 8:00 p.m. Friday night. Our first stop was at ... (can you guess?) Cracker Barrel. Tommy's favorite joint. We thought they closed at 10:00 p.m. so Tommy drove crazy fast to get there in time to eat. We pulled up to the door at precicesly 9:56 p.m. Thinking that we would be turned away but always optimistic, I headed inside to get a table. And guess what...they don't close till 11:00 p.m. on Friday & Saturday nights! YIPPEE!! We had an entire hour, how awesome is that? The only down part was they were all out of meatloaf (Tom's favorite). He got the country fried steak instead. Mmm, Mm! That Cracker Barrel can cook! I had pot roast and Kelsey had pancakes.

After our gorging, we continued the second phase of our journey. We arrived at the hotel near midnight. Then it was off to bed!

Kelsey's Team, the Swarm, played very well at the tournament. There were a total of four games. They were evenly matched with their opponents and played great games. In the end the Swarm came out 2 and 2. Here are a couple of highlights:

Josie & Maddog: "Puttin' it back into play"



and

Kelsey: "Using her head" Scoring the game winning goal!

Ocean View ?!

I've never been any good at these optical illusion pictures! The friend who sent this to me this said if I stare at it long enough, I'm supposed to see the ocean. I've tried for a while on several different occasions and I can't see any stupid ocean! Can you?

I live a charmed life. I've been blessed with the world's greatest husband. He is so thoughtful and easy going. Funny and ever affectionate and as a bonus he loves vacationing! YAY!! How did I get so lucky?

I found this cute "Places I've been map" on TripAdvisor.com. It turns out that we are quite the traveling family. We've been to more than 17 different locations (and some of them we've been to multiple times)!
