Labor Day Weekend

We had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. No glamorous getaway but it was packed full of excitement. I'd love to update everyone about how great it was but unfortunately there is no time today. I'm sorry to all of my bloggers that I normally visit daily. All browsing and commenting will be on hold until tomorrow. I hope to be back with a full update tomorrow and some pictures, too!! Back to work.....

Win Some Books!

Deena at A Peek At My Bookshelf is having a giveaway for 30 books in 30 days and a $30 gift card to a bookstore. Go check her out for more details!

Yes We Can!

I haven't commented on Obama's acceptance speech yet. Let me just say, it was good. Real good. And did you see the passion in that stadium?



Republican or Democrat, I urge you to watch this moment in history. One day I'll tell my children about sitting on the couch with their father, eating ice cream, and watching history in the making.

And I'll try to keep the political blogs to a minimum for a while (except to say this).

Oh, who am I kidding? I'm sure there'll be more!

Thursday's Picnic in the Park

Yes, I am aware that it is not Thursday so I guess I should have titled this one "Friday's Picnic in the Park" but I didn't so live with it.

Lucas and I decided to have our weekly picnic today. It was a beautiful day in the park..... except for these pesky little creatures!
I swear, they saw us coming for sure. They saw me with a picnic basket and knew that meant food. Hello, little guy!
But Lucas and I, being the knowledgeable citizens (and gluttons) that we are, knew that giving them any of our food would mean that they would not leave us alone. So we feasted without the ducks. Ham sandwiches and chips with watermelon and a cookie for dessert.
But this guy knew we'd give in. "Please, feed me!" he said. (Geeze, these ducks are worse than Rafa.)
How could we resist their sweet little faces? When we were done with our picnic, Lucas began feeding them our leftover watermelon.
Are you ducks happy now?

Good food. Good company. Who could ask for a better lunch?

Great Contest!

I love free stuff and I love jewelry! That makes this contest the perfect fit for me! I'm hoping to score these beautiful earrings but still haven't decided which color I'll choose (I guess that is a little premature).
Visit The Pink Potpourri for your chance to win!

Walk the Dog

Yesterday when I got home Lucas decided we should do something fun to cheer me up (yes, he's a good husband). So we went on a walk with Rafa! Usually we just do a circle around the block but Lucas suggested we take a long walk so we walked all the way to other end of our neighborhood and back (probably close to 2 miles or a little more total). Rafa stopped to smell a hydrant and I thought it was so cute.

But when we got close to the end (still had to turn around and walk back) Rafa started getting a little tired. He would stop to smell something or roll in the grass and would just lay there.
Aww, poor guy! But he made it. He was nice and rested so Lucas and I could go eat Mexican! Yum! Bonus, I had a margarita and Lucas had a beer!

Then we came home and watched Bill Clinton and Joe Biden speak at the DNC. I knew a little about Joe before but had never really heard him give a major speech and boy was he good! I can see why Barack picked him. I'm excited to see what the future holds for the Democratic party.

Bad Day at Work

I am just having a bad day at work. I worked until 10:30 last night and was here at 8:30 this morning and I'm just grumpy. Campaigns suck sometimes. I wish I had something fun to post about but since I have just pretty much worked straight through the last couple of days there is nothing to report. Good news is that my husband knows I'm dragging a bit and is taking me for 'buy one get one free entree' night tonight at Guadalajara. I think I'll need a margarita with that.
