I Guess You Need Cashews Don't Ya?

Boy, in looking at that picture of me, I have 7 chins! Didn't realize that at the time :) Anywho, how we doing? I should be watching American Idol but it's kind of predictable and annoying for some reason. Maybe it's cause I haven't watched it as much this year and it's just aww-right dawg.

Went grocery shopping today for our weekend away camping up north. We're looking forward to it! Instead of unloading all the groceries into the house and sorting what goes in the trailer, I just backed right up to the trailer and unloaded in there. Our pantry is still pretty empty cause all the goods are in our moving pantry :)

While grocery shopping, I decided to make Cashew Chicken for dinner tonight. Erk loves it and it's easy to make. So I get home, unload and realize I FORGOT TO BUY cashews! Of all the ingredients to forget? Sheesh! So back to the store quick before heading to pick up the kids from Nanny and Papa's.

The kids had a riot at Granny and Grampa's last night to include both boys falling asleep on their respective couches. I didn't get there to pick them up until after 10p! Our "open house" or "party" or "digital scrapbooking gig," whatever you wanna call it was a HUGE success! We had so much fun. Shawna, Mom and I got to the place (Erk and Jay's company) early to set up. Erk and Jay came back to work soon thereafter with a pizza in hand that we all shared in the conference room. We got all set up and at 7pm, no one was there yet! HA! But people started to trickle in once they figured out how to get there. I didn't realize the entrance to the company was shut down completely with the construction going on so pretty much everyone (including us) were thrown off! We drove thru the grass to get into the parking lot! Sure enough though, with a few frustrated drivers, everyone made it safe and sound and all went well. Shawna and I decided to pray together before heading in to do our "bit" and the Lord provided so incredibly huge for us. I did the quick intro of our Creative Memories consultant (who as it turned out knew a bunch of the women cause she used to go to Shawna's church) and then the CM consultant did an excellent job walking all 20 women thru what the digital scrapbooking is all about. After she wrapped it up, Shawna talked about how we got started with this process of starting up a bizz and what paper/toner/and press we will be using. Then I got up and did a bit on how to use our website (even though it still isn't up quite yet) and what our prices will be. What a riot! And a huge breath of relief on the way home that our first gig was over. We have prepared, worried, thought, bit our nails (well, I have) over "May 20th" and it came and went already without a hitch. Thank you Lord for giving us such a huge gift! Thanks to all who came to support us, we appreciate it more than you know!

Well, I'd better put some receipts in the checkbook and make my list to pack for our trip. We also have Jack's preschool picnic tomorrow at lunchtime so that'll be fun. The boys and I will go to that and Miss Mol will hang out at home and help Daddy pack up the trailer (translation: take her morning nap). See ya!
