Today and Tomorrow...
Yesterday Deb, my cousin Mary and I went to visit my aunt in Parma.  We recently found out she was sick and wanted to spend some time with her.  She is my dad's younger sister and over the years she has shared some great stories about their childhood and memories of my dad. She isn't much older than us so when we were kids we remember her dating and having a cool Volkswagen...

So while over at Aimeslee's blog I read about this test and thought I would try it.  I did pretty good for not doing these typing tests in 25+ years!  If you try it, let me know how you do

Zach would rather spend the day with his friends than his mom?  Well at least we got lunch out together before I dropped him off.
Now with no kids home I thought I'd run out to my mom's and bring her Uppercase living order and help her put it up.  It came out so cute... luckily I had my camera (lol)

While there we went through some old slides from our childhood. It was fun looking back at...

Yesterday I got all my cleaning done that I wanted to accomplish over the weekend and we also worked in Zach's room, cleaning and taking down the bunk beds.  We also went into the dormers and dug out a bunch of old Christmas stuff that was stored there since we moved in.
The only thing left in his room is to do the closet... maybe tomorrow?


Then today was spent getting Chel's senior...

Here is my list of books I've read in 2008.  I'm hoping to achieve this goal of reading 100 however I did get a late start.

We were talking about our favorite commercials the other night and as of late this one has been my favorite.  I love it!
Chelsea picked one where the dog kept saying sausages.  She was laughing so hard she was crying while watching that one?

and we've got some actual spring weather to go with it!
Last night I went to an Archiver's crop with my sister, Trish, Jen and Maryann.  This was my first time to crop there and I have to say it was pretty nice - though I could have used more table space.  I guess next time I just won't pack so much stuff! 
The highlights of the night included spending time with friends, laughing so hard that...
