Been awhile I know....

I realize it has been two weeks since my last post or so, but I've been busy and on vacation - YEAH! Marshall and I went up to mom's for s few days over my birthday - it was great to just relax and not do anything if I didn't want to...Marshall conned me into making breakfast though our next to last day there (6/9) - he comes and wakes me up and tells me he wants waffles, eggs, and sausage and that Grandma had said if he wanted all of that he was going to have to have me start it for her or we'd be eating really late! Mom gets in from the barn and says, "Wow, thanks for starting breakfast!" I'm like - you told Marshall to tell me to start it - no, she didn't...that was just what he thought he heard or misunderstood (he conned me - my 8 year old child pulled a fast one on me). We had blueberry waffles and a few plain too just in case someone didn't want the fruity ones - I made Marshall and mom and myself eggs - no sausage (it was frozen). I received for my birthday some lovely gifts - Marshall picked out for me (with help from mom) a notepad shaped like the letter "A" and a pink picture frame with lots of sparkles on it. Mom brought me home a rug from Japan (it is cream with a pink hippo on it) - she almost didn't buy it because it's spot clean only!!!!!!!! I will probably use it as a wall hanging anyways, why would I let people traipse all over my beautiful birthday gift? That's like sacrilegious or something. I do have pictures and I will post them as soon as I can get them downloaded into the computer!
