That Can Be a Thomas Tradition.....??

I think it's a great idea! Wait till I tell my Hubby all about it!! :) Apparently in the McDermott-Spelling household, every wedding anniversary there is a spectacular wedding ring awaiting. For this anniversary (I have no clue as to how long they have been married), she received this antique French ring consisting of a white round diamond and a fancy round yellow diamond side by side, symbolizing the expression “Toi et Moi”, or “You and Me”. I can't imagine having the idea of passing along my "wedding ring collection" to my children one day. The more I think about it... my 1st and only wedding set will do just fine. :)

Feeling Random...

*~ I wish I could sleep as peaceful as Kaci does. I'm jealous....of a dog??

*~ I have some serious heartburn. Prilosec, where art thou?

*~ Already 3:40. WOW. Today has really flown by.

*~ I'm wanting to buy a new Vera. I haven't bought one in forever! Maybe I could convince the Hubs to get me one for "Wife of the Year". Wink.

*~ On that note, I do have to brag about how proud I am of my Hubs. He truly is our life saver in this marriage with our finances. If he gave me EVERYTHING I wanted, we would seriously be bankrupt.

*~ Why is it when I see customers who come in who can barely make their payments and who give us sob-story's about how they can't afford anything...why do they have brand new Caddy's and BMW's sitting in the parking lot?

*~ I really want to get a flag pole to stick on my front porch. No, not a school flag pole looking one, but the kind my mom has in their front yard. She has one for every season. I want one.

*~ I think it's about time Lady GaGa say's bye bye from my Ringtone section in my phone. I think her "Poker Face" has made me jump the past two times it has rang.

*~ So the book shelf that I had been yapping about in my past posts...Well, I finally painted it, and I must say it looks hideous the more I look at it. It's getting dropped off at the GW pretty soon.

*~ Have I mentioned how stoked I am about seeing my brother, Michael and his wife, Georgia at the end of this month!?! I pray I don't get emotional.

*~ Lately, I have been addicted, and I might need to emphasize ADDICTED to dipping pretzel sticks in Blue Cheese Dressing. I have to pace myself so I won't absolutely GORGE myself. Seriously, my mouth is watering now. :)

Realize...

1. I've come to realize that, my last good-bye kiss: may not have been deep and passionate but it was short, sweet and perfect in my eyes.


2. I've come to realize that, I talk: before I think sometimes which gets me into some poor situations in which I regret.

3. I've come to realize that, I like: having a plan of action, and if Spontaneous is not one of my personality traits, then thats ok.


4. I've come to realize that, I have: more than what I need and deserve.


5. I've come to realize that, I've lost: and gained in this life, and that that is what makes me who I am.

6. I've come to realize that, I hate it when: people are hypocritical, judgemental and rude.


7. I've come to realize that, Marriage is: one of the hardest jobs in life. It must be nurtured, appreciated, praised, and enjoyed. It must be worked at constantly. It must be equally given 100% by each and not anything less because it is a team effort!



8. I've come to realize that, somewhere, someone is thinking: along the same lines I am...which is a really weird and interesting thought!


9. I've come to realize that, I'll always: be me who has good days and bad days.

11. I've come to realize that, The last time I truly cried was: along time ago.

12. I've come to realize that, My cell phone: is something I depend on, and that I need on a day to day basis no matter how much I hate hearing it ring.


14. I've come to realize that, Before I go to sleep at night: I rarely pray - but I think about all the people who are important to me.

15. I've come to realize that, Right now I am thinking about: Jennifer and how I pray she will be okay. (She just got rushed to the hospital due to her blood sugar...she's a diabetic).
**UPDATE** 05/12/09- Jennifer is here at work! Her heart is fine, which was another concern, and they got her sugar down to a descent level. Thank you, Lord!! :)

16. I've come to realize that, Babies: the most precious gift from God.

17. I've come to realize that, I go shopping: to make me feel better. It's my own sort of comfort I provide for myself.


18. I've come to realize that, Today: I have the choice to be in a good or bad mood!

19. I've come to realize that, Tonight I will : be loving on my husband just because I can, and I will enjoy him for every minute of it, because I should.


20. I've come to realize that, Tomorrow I will : one day closer to the weekend! :)


21. I've come to realize that, I really want: to be all that I can be...and to try my best to watch what I say because words can hurt so much deeper than I realize.

22. I've come to realize that, The person who is most likely to repost this is: whoever wants to! :)

Weekend Recap

With having a sick hubby at home, nothing too exciting has happened around the Thomas household. With it being Mother's Day weekend, there was only one thing definite that was gonna happen, and that was lunch with my family on Sunday. We had a great time, although I had to leave my sickling of a hubby home. I met my parents and younger brother, Josh at Logan's for some yummy lunch. Although, I ate quite a bit, I still had leftovers to bring home. Happy Mother's Day, Mom...you deserved it!

Saturday, plans kind of changed due to my Hubs being sick. We planned to drive to Decaturville to have Mother's Day with his mom. Nothing would compare to as if we would have still gone with the plans and had to stop every 10 Min's for a restroom break. So we stayed home. At first, we thought it might have been something he ate from Friday night when we had gone to Cracker Barrel, but when is progressed further, we knew it must have been a virus...maybe the Swine Flu??!

Along with having Cracker Barrel Friday night, we headed over to Block Buster and rented 2 movies. Here are my thoughts on those...

Seven Pounds: Great movie. I would definitely give it a 10 on a 1-10 scale. A movie that makes you think, always rates high on my scorecard. I will definitely be venturing out to buy that sucker on DVD when it comes out!

And of course there was...

Twilight. We all have probably seen that one by now. Believe it or not, I had not seen that movie since it was out in theatre. Most people I know, particularly women, went and bought it when it came out. But I was not gonna pay the price that it had on the box just yet. So, we rented it the other night, and I made my Hubs watch it with me. Surprisingly, he liked it!! :) My favorite line though...is by far the, "Hold on tight, Spider Monkey!". I definitely laughed at that one for a bit, or should I say WE laughed at it for a bit.

Besides my Lovey being sick, this weekend was a good one. Happy Mother's Day to all of the dear Mother's out there and the Soon-to-be Mommies as well!! :)

Brilliant.

I recently posted about how I was desperately longing for a get-a-way trip...some where that Mike and I (and Kaci) could go and just relax. Seeing the same things everyday is really making me antsy. Discussing with my Hubs, we felt like taking a trip right now would be little costly considering we just spent a chunk on Kaci. SOOOOOO.....With my thoughts a rollin' and ideas turnin' I thought how awesome it would be to see if Mike's parents would let us take their Winnebago!!! I could fix meals rather than eating out every meal, we wouldn't have to worry about costs of a hotel...it'd be perfect. The only cost would be gas to and from and then whatever activities we'd use. And I actually wouldn't mind taking the Winne to Gatlinburg! It could be fun! Fingers cross we can! :)

Got2HAVE!

Since I am on a roll with mentioning my faves on here...for all who straighten/blow dry their hair...this product is FABULOUS and CHEAP!!! :) I get it at Kroger's, and it's about 4 bucks and lasts for a very long time. Got2Be = Got2HAVE!

Only Tuesday.

This morning has been quite different to say the least. My husband and I were definitley having an "off morning". Hands down. Isn't it crazy how that can happen?? And to sum it all up...it was because of Kaci. All because of a gate. But in the end, after a hug and a kiss, we're back to our old selves. :)

Today is the first day I have left Kaci at home. I think she will do ok....(I hope). I know we have seriously spoiled her like crazy i.e. myself taking her to work everyday, her sleeping with us, yeah...that Kaci is seriously something else. We just love her. So when it came down to me wanting to leave her at home, she has definitley been on my mind. Will she be able to knock the gate down?? No, Liz..it won't come down. Will she chew on the sides of the walls?? Maybe, but I highly doubt it. Will there be a disaster when I get home full of all her business? Yes, but Mike will beat you home today. Baaawaaahhhaaahha. The husband can clean the mess up. (Am I evil or what?)

It's only Tuesday, and I am already anxiously awaiting the weekend. It's like as soon as Sunday evening rolls around, BAM...I'm ready for the next one. Lastnight, I had the random idea, of wanting to redo this book shelve that's sitting out in our garage. Its not a tall one...I honestly, don't even know if I would call it a book shelve...but I am wanting to paint it, and sit in either in our foyer to put our shoes on...and some knick-knacks...or even in our living room by our back door. Who knows..I'll figure it out. :)

Well. Enough of my rambling. I hope everyone has a great day today!! :)
