...ALL BY MYSELF! Heavenly I tell you...both the time alone AND this chai. Granted, it tastes nothing like real Chai (which is a spicy Indian tea) but whatever this stuff is that the coffee shop is passing off as chai is heaven in a cup. It's sugar free too...now that wonderful fact was negated when I saw the lady behind the counter pull out the Vitamin D milk but I turned the other direction so I wouldn't have to see. Because to be honest, skim milk in a latte is rather blah. And I didn't want blah. Good thing Weight Watchers has those marvelous flex points...I can indulge in a little whole milk in my yummy no-so-chai like vanilla heaven in a cup. Not that you cared about any of that :)
Anyway, back to the coffee shop. I am here because our Internet is SO FUNKY and it absolutely HATES some of the digi shops...it won't let me download anything. And Meredith Fenwick is releasing her new collection EVERYDAY INSPIRATION and it is GORGEOUS. She has had it available for her CT for a bit now but I haven't been able to play! So, Jason took the kids to the library while I sit in the coffee shop and download away. I love wireless internet :) And the time alone is so wonderful...no questions, no interruptions, just me and my thoughts. And that wonderful cup of "chai."
Thank you to all of you who left comments or emailed me to tell me they were thinking of me. It is so wonderful there are people out there who care and are concerned. We're all doing a bit better now. Still sick, yes. Still dealing with major work issues, yes. But emotionally we are doing better and seeking God all along the way. He is good and faithful and will show us His will at the right time. Until then we just try to walk in obedience and use the mind that He has given us to make good decisions.
Speaking of sick...so, I think I mentioned that Alaina had pink eye. Well, it kept getting worse and the over-the-counter drops weren't working so we took her to the doctor yesterday. Probably a good idea since Levi woke up with green gook in his eyes and both Jason and I woke up with slightly pink eyes. Turns out she has a nasty sinus infection. 24 hours later and she doesn't really look any better. At least a few doses of antibiotic eye drops for Levi cleared him up. But look at my poor girl!
Uggh. Typepad won't let me put in a picture. Errr. Oh well. Trust me, she looks bad.
Okay, well, since I can't out in any pictures the rest of this post would be pretty boring to most of you so I guess I will save it. But, I did want to let you know that
1) I put up some new templates in my SHOP . And, the whole Digi Shoppe is having a sale this weekend to celebrate new designers and our new blog. So you can grab everything for 30 -40 % off, no need to enter a coupon.
2) Only two more days to send me your LO's using my RING RING template. It has been soooo fun to see what people have done with it! Remember, if you send me a link to your LO in an online gallery I will send you three free templates PLUS you have the chance to win a $20 gift card to the scrapping store of your choice!
Okay, bye for now. Maybe if typepad gets itself worked out I will come back and post pictures, LO's, and a sweeeeet picture of my new nephew, Colton Paul!
Hey! Hope the rest of your weekend is going okay! I've had a good one but am exhuasted. I showed Lynn some pictures of your angels today and everyone is hoping you have a chance to visit in November! Talk to you soon!
