I got a post from Aunt Robin about Reece Pictures. I did not take a camera, but Dayna did. I will email her tonight and post pictures hopefully tomorrow.
:)
He is a cutie that one.

Recycle Bank
If you check again on the post about 3 before this...My points got added. You get 2.5 points for each pound of recyclables. We had approx 47 pounds in about 3.5 weeks. Not bad. We can not recycle glass, so it was paper, cardboard, and plastic.
Dayna, my sister, E, my niece, H and I have been in Texas since late Tuesday night. We had a fun road trip and MORE fun hanging with Aunt Heather, Uncle Dan, and Baby Reece.
HE is adorable and the kids are loving on him. We will post pictures when we get home, we forgot the cord for the camera.
We leave tomorrow in the wee hours.
Peace.

Birthday and other musings
My birthday is coming up in a month and a half and I was thinking today that after a certain point it really doesn't matter what "number" you are. I don't even remember most days. Now you may say that is forgetfulness, old age, or nonsense but frankly I do not feel a day over 25 most days.
So on to the important stuff where birthdays are concerned. GIFTS!
My mom and dad bought Scott and I early birthday this year, we got a beautiful hardwood bookshelf when World Market was closing in Omaha. That was a great prezzie. We bought a second as the closeout sale brought lower and lower prices. (Yes we needed two, had books in boxes that we could not even get to or use.)
I was trying to make a list of things I could use, more for myself than anyone else. This always serves as a back to school list for me too since I head back on the 3rd of August.
Ideas:
Worms--More to come about this tomorrow.
Birkenstocks--The following 3 designs and colors are on the top of my list.
Gift Certificate to The Avenue.
New Kitchen "stuff"--And by "stuff" I mean EVERYTHING. It is my firm belief that at 10 years of marriage everyone should have a "Hooray you didn't get a divorce shower." Don't get me wrong, I love my husband, the name of the shower does not imply unhappiness. I just think that at about 10 years all your stuff is sufficiently worn and you could use some new.
A new couch.
The piece de resistance a Nikon D60 camera.
I really do have champagne tastes and a beer budget, just ask my husband.

Curbside Rewards Update
I called today to ask about our recycling service because it had not been picked up. There was a mix up with our pick up date.
We were credited for a half month and we will have an empty bin next Wed. Check back on how many pounds of recyclables our family produces after 3 weeks.

Summer...
Summer doesn't seem like summer any more unless I can work a trip to the beach in. I don't think that I am going to make it this summer though. I wonder if I can trick my self into believing (with enough wine and sun) that any body of water is "the beach".
I am digging the foods of summer. I love to eat in the summer. Probably, not any less than during the rest of the year but fresh fruits and veg are something that I start to crave.
Not that Costco is super "fresh" fruit fair, but it is still a bit early for the farmer's market to have berries, or melons.
Today we bought Tuscan melon, blackberries, cherries, and peaches. SO amazing. I snitched cherries as I was cleaning them.
We are going to have burgers on the grill, corn, and fresh fruit. I am trying to teach my forever hungry child to love fruits. I think it is going to take some getting used to because it is never the flavors that deter him but the textures. Darn Sensory Processing Issues.
Well as I sit on the couch drinking an iced coffee I made, not one I paid over $4.00 for (I did the other day I hate to admit it). I am really looking forward to the rest of summer's joys. Swimming, sun, tank tops, iced coffee (homemade), painting the trim of my house (trying to convince myself this is going to be fun), visiting Reece and Dan and Heather, working on my grad class that starts tomorrow, and soccer with H.D.
More to come...

Break from Blogging.
Wow...I had planned to start off the summer strong with some poetry, continuing a story I started a long time ago, some reading, and study. I was derailed by a stomach virus.
HD got really sick and dehydrated. I initially thought it was overheated from soccer. I now know it was viral. We had him at the urgent care on the business end of an IV last Sunday. Then by the wee hours of Tuesday morning the virus had hit me HARD. Next victim, Tuesday night/Wednesday morning...Scott.
Today is the first day that I feel like a real person again. Scott still looks a little puny, but had to go back to work today. H.D. is bored just a few days into summer. I need to get a study schedule in stone for him so that we have no excuses to be bored.
Laundry, cleaning, and disinfecting our house before the weekend have become priorities. Oma and Papa are stopping through on their way home to help with H.D. watching while I have meetings Monday and Tuesday night. I hope the weather stays as beautiful while they are here as it has been the last week. Mild, cool, and rainy every once in a while.
Well, I hope to start writing soon...I will share when I have something worthy. Until then...I am resuming work on a landscaping project my Aunt Bon and I started last weekend. When there are pictures to share I will be sure to do that!
Hope all is well where ever you are...
Peace
