Two Heads Are Better Than One.

My mom is here visiting from Illinois.  She is staying at my sister's house because of her allergies and our hounds.  She did come by for a bit yesterday afternoon and Lela had to show off her math skills to her grandma.  I believe mom was teasing her that she was running out of time and trying to hold the paper for her.  Who knows...perhaps she was whispering the answers into her ears. ;)

Starbucks *yUm*

This morning I met with a friend for coffee.  It was a nice way to start the day and fun to catch up.  I was a bit early so I whipped out the p&s and snapped a quick photo of my treat.  When visiting Starbucks I know what I want right away. A nice hot non-fat quad shot grande latte. Mmmmmm!  Although I cannot remember what the back of the cup said, something about the enviroment and going green and how 'every time YOU buy a Starbucks you're doing it, too' or ' everytime we do something YOU do it, too' ...something or other.  I think I would have liked it to have read something like "This was made just for YOU". Does that make me self absorbed? Probably. That's okay though, because I bought it just for ME. ;)  *sidenote* I'm happy Starbucks cares about our earth, I just want to enjoy my coffee- mindlessly- while visiting a friend. Also? I'm not so sure Starbucks and I are doing the same thing simultaneously. Just saying.

More family fun in IL

It feels good to be home.  We started the morning off shoveling a bunch of snow and then pretty much relaxed the rest of the day.  You would think we'd have ran out of things to talk about by now but not so much!  Guess that's what happens when you wait to long to come back home.  We've been here for a few days and I certainly hope that old adage is not ringing true....you  know what they say about company and fish--they both start to stink after a few days! ;)   Anyway, because we did not make it back for Christmas, we exchanged gifts this visit.  It was just as fun watching the girls open their gifts in February as it would have been in December.  Sara's gift to Lela was the biggest hit!  It was a Moxy Girl Fashion Style It Head (morbid sounding but proven fun!)  Here is an image of Lela opening her head. (hahahahaha)
