Random...also GIVEAWAY

1.   San Luis Obispo (very near where I live) was voted one of the Happiest place to live in the world by       Oprah!  Not that I consider Oprah an authority...BUT, like her or not...she has a HUGE influence!!  Local reactions are anything from...soooooo excited that maybe will bring more tourists...to...Why did they have to tell the world about our secret??  Ummmm...what secret???  We have been on a California map for quite a long time now!  I hope the world got to see a bit of our special SLO Lifestyle...wine country, beach community, ranches, college life.  Check out this Etsy Treasury to see a collection of local San Luis Obispo County artists....My Backyard.   

2.  Yesterday while shopping in Target...a young frenzied mom said to me..."Is it weird that I have three kids and have not gone to the bathroom in over a week?"  Hmmmm....I am wondering what it is about me that says..."come tell me all about your potty." Too funny!!  I remembered when I had three little ones...wearing a kid and pushing wto in a cart...that crazy feeling.  I told her..."don't worry about it...you have accomplished something if you brushed your teeth today.  This 'survival' mode will change!"  Of course then she asks..."don't I look awful???  I mean I am not even 30 and I look so awful!  How old are you?" I tell her 41.  Then the clencher..."WOW...you look really good for that age...I mean, wow!" 

Compliment in there somewhere????? 

3.  I would really appreciate it if the Tea Fairy would drop off a big cup of tea for me this morning????

ONE OF THOSE WEEKS!!!

One crazy week last week.  Soooo glad we are past it & survived it!!  First...daughter home sick.  not too sick...just sick enough to miss a bunch of finals!!  

Our 20th Anniversary was the same sick day....so instead of going out to dinner...we had orange chicken & rice at home.  Not very fancy I know...BUT 20 Years is the "china" year...so we ate it on my nice china.  I think it might be the 5th time we have ever eaten on it!!!  One of my resolutions...eat more meals on nice china!!!  My friends brought us this yummy wedding cake...and I took out my Grandma's vintage Madonna Inn goblets.  We sipped champagne...ate edamame & orange chicken & cake...sweet & simple night!!   

LOVE LOVE LOVE my grandma's goblets!!!!

I managed to finish my Valentine birdhouse.  BECAUSE no matter what kinid of chaos is going on...creating is important!!!!

THEN...to finish off the week...my other daughter got hit in the eye with a hockey stick during PE!!!  AHHHHH..minor surgery & .three stitches later...we are just soooo thankful her vision will be fine!  The worst part to a 13 year old girl...is that most of her eyelashes were sliced off by that stupid stick!!!!

Anyway...all and all...we survived the week and very thankful nothing worse happened!!!

Hope you had a beautiful weekend!!  IT was 72 here today...the sun feels soooo good!!!!

TTFN,

Kristin
