Run, don't walk....

To buy this book. I picked it up yesterday and could not put it down. It's full of handwritten inspiring stories and great doodled pictures. There is even a little tear out "scrapbook" with inspirational quotes that has spaces to add pictures to. This woman is SO creative. If I had half of her talent I'd be over the moon.

This weekend turned out pretty well.... I spent some time on the phone with another Willow (Angela), and we had a great time getting to know each other better. After that I was off to a pool party for my 7 year old cousins and had a lot of fun. Swimming, cupcakes, pizza, family, friends.... it was a very nice day. Sunday I spent most of the day at the hospital with my dad. He had a very bad night Saturday night, but as Sunday progressed, he got stonger. His nurse even took him for two walks. He was very tired and short of breath after walking, but he did it!! I'm working on turning my parents shower into a "handicapped" shower with grab bars and everything. What a project!!

Today I'm going for another follow up with the plastic surgeon who did my nose, and then up to the Woodlands to see KaRan. We have big plans tonight.... mac n cheese and the first Harry Potter movie. FUN!!! :-)

Good news or bad news first?

How about the bad news first... My dad's back in the hospital. They took too much fluid yesterday during dialysis and he collapsed. He's going to be ok....

The good news.... I got asked out on a date!! No, really, I'm serious!! I'll keep ya posted....

Monday was a good day

I did get a little carried away at the book store though. Actually two bookstores. What can I say? I was on a roll...

Fun website!!

I'm LOVING this site!! So many adorable things, here are a few...

Moll Flanders

I love this movie. It's ridiculous. I've watched it a hundred times, but every time I pop it in I'm mesmerized. Check it out if you've never seen it. It's a beautiful movie. Robin Wright Penn is in it. I have been a huge fan of hers since her Santa Barbara soap opera and Princess Bride days. And you can't go wrong with Morgan Freeman and Stockard Channing either. I'm not sure what it is about this movie that grabs me. I think I need to scrap a page about it, LOL.

1991

Don't ya just love the bushy eyebrows and crimped hair? MEOW!

It's been forever!

I don't even know where to start!! My dad (who has been hopitalized 4 times since June 1) is coming home today. Woo hoo!! He started dialysis last Saturday and he's feeling much better. I don't know why I was so scared of that, because it turns out to be the best thing that could have happened!

On a lighter note. Spike. What am I going to do with him? I flipped my mattress over Sunday. When I went to put the mattress pad back on the mattress started moving. OH NO. I just froze for a second. I lifted up the mattress and there he was. Sort of sprawled out and dazed like something that would happen in a cartoon. Poor guy. He gave the bed a really dirty look and pouted for a while. He's all good now. :-)

I finally finished all of the puzzle pieces for the swap I'm working on. I am still waiting on 2 pieces before I can put mine together though. These are all of the pieces that I made:
