Meme Throwback

Just a throwback to an old Meme. Thought it would be fun to see my answers from 2009

Tag Your it

I was tagged by H-Mama for this tag in 2009 but instagram has since ate her blog.

A little history lesson on the meme: So here goes memememeeee, ahem: I forget what Linda said meme meant, hold on a second, o.k. I'm back it means: Memes are conduits of sameness. That is, they're thematic in nature. We're answering the same questions that have no right or wrong answers! The same! La meme! Go check out this link to see the whole explanation Viva La Meme (Linda no longer blogs )

8 things I am looking forward to...

Summer Vacation (I more look forward to Spring now cause Summer is hella hot down here!!)

The Beach (Always love the ocean)

Swimming (Definitely especially when it is too hot to do anything else)

Finishing my 30x5 having lost a few pounds so I look somewhat decent in my bathing suit for all the summer fun (I will have to look into what that was maybe I should start doing that again.)

Starting on my scrapbooks when school is over with all the art work and papers from this year--I have to start at Pre-k though so this will be a task. (I um yeah not sure I completed those. )

Family time outside grilling and swimming. (Yep still love it!)

Spending time with friends I have not gotten to see during the school year. (Since Bub is in college/virtual high school I get to do this during the week now! Woot Woot)

Did I mention Summer Vacation:) (I was in PFA/volunteered all the time so it was busy busy 24/7 so summer was my break too!)

8 things I did yesterday...

Tried to convince Bub it would be a fun day at school, to which he was not buying anything I was saying (LOL this happened all the time until he went full time virtual in high school. Now he likes school much more but still isn’t the biggest fan.)

Set up for the honor roll cookout (Honestly I miss those days. They were hard work but us PFA ladies had a good time serving the kids.)

Served honor roll lunch (See above )

Ate lunch (And you know I still do this LOL)

Helped take down honor roll cookout (See above )

Checked Bub out and took him to the Dentist (We just did that in December but no checking out we just went.)

Chick-Fil-A (dinner) and Grocery (Mmmm Chick-Fil-A..although I do have a bone to pick with them for getting rid of my chicken salad sandwich What The French Chick-Fil-A and ya’ll know I hate the money stealer!!)

Checked my blog, facebook, tried the whole twitter thing again--I don't get it?? (And I still don’t get twitter? Why do I want to answer someone's tweet and have the whole world read it??)

8 things I wish I could do...

Sing, I think that is such an awesome gift to have (Yep still wish this!)

Get a new camera so I can take better photos (Got a DSLR finally several years ago and now I want a new one. LOL)

Make Hubby's life less stressful (Yeah still working on that !)

Not be so stressed myself (And still working on this as well!)

Go on another vacay to the Caribbean (We did this several times but I am not sure if this was before or after this meme? I do still want to take Bub on a trip like this cause he did not get to go on the others)

Organize my guest bedroom closet.. Just can't find the motivation (Done…and now it needs to be organized again ughhh)

Keep my son young a little longer, He is growing up so fast. (Um that didn’t work sigh…)

Protect all the children and animals from the harsh world we live in, but I can pray for them and God will protect them for me. (Still wish this and this world has gotten much worse…why can’t people just be nice for goodness sake!!!)

8 shows I watch...

One Life To Live (cancelled )

General Hospital (Still watch it)

Jon & Kate +8 (yeah not sure why I was watching that train wreck?)

LOST (Miss this show so much)

Grey's Anatomy (Quit watching when most of my fave characters got killed off or left)

Food Network, any and all shows (Still watch it)

HGTV, any and all shows (Still watch it)

E, it is addictive, I usually only watch E News to see what crazy stuff the celebrities are getting into these days:) (Never watch this again why was I watching this train wreck??)

So that’s it. If you want to do this meme I officially tag you!!

Throwback Thursday

My Uncle Ed was a photographer and this is a photo shoot he did with my Mom, Sister and I when I was around 4.

Hope your having a fantastic week!!

Organizing…Does It Ever End

Today we tackle the linen closet.

Well actually yesterday I did when it was all gloom and doom outside for the umpteenth day in a row. I thought I lived in the Sunshine State??

I have said it once and I will say it again.

Linen Closets are of the devil.

It’s like you put linens in there and they multiply like gremlins.

I pulled everything out and started sorting. If you would believe under what you see in the first photo some of it was sorted by season a little bit already but got all jumbled.

Not to bad right….

Oh and remember all those candles I bought yesterday?

Those storage boxes are chockfull of tealights and votives.

Hello my name is Jenny and I am addicted to candles!!!

There was also still more stuff in the closet.

At this point Tilda decided she might need to assess the situation. Can you even see her?

And at that point I had a mini melt down and took a skinny cow break.

Had a nice pep talk with myself. Doesn’t everyone do that??  and then forced myself to carry on.

Tilda was front and center helping.

Ya’ll think I kid but her and Ginger are literally my shadows.

If I die from a broken neck it is going to be cause I tripped over one of them!!

Yay finally done!

A major improvement if I do say so myself.

Bye bye spacebags. These are cool and all but they make your linens stink. I had to wash everything that was in these.

Ginger was super excited to sit and snooze on all the stinky linens that were in the space bags so guess who is getting a bath today ↓↓↓↓

& just for fun lets throwback since it’s Thursday.

Have a fantastic day everyone!

Throwback Thursday

Another school year has come to an end!

I am not going to lie junior high scared the bejesus out of me. But Bub sailed thru it with flying colors and no real big issues.

He had a great group of teachers and ended the year with all A's all year. We could not be more proud of him and all his hard work.

Here is a picture of his first day and last day. They change so much during the year don't they?

Fingers crossed next year goes just as smoothly as this year!
