We went to the Nursery to buy our annual flowers - which we have not been able to plant due to the fact it has been raining every day for a week (or so it seems). They very wet, sitting on our very wet patio table on our very wet deck. Maybe I will get to plant them this weekend ...

We've been indoors lately due to the rainy wet stuff. Julianna loves to play on her leap-top computer. (Get it- "Leap top" like "Laptop") - She copies Mommy & Daddy as she types away feverishly on her own little toddler Laptop. It's so cute! She wants to be just like us. {Maybe?!}
This child is obsessed with shoes. Obsessed. Totally. She runs to get our shoes and tries to put them on our feet all the time- while saying "Mommy Daddy - Shoe Shoe ". I took the girl into a shoe-store to get her a new pair of shoes last week and she was in Shoe-Heaven. She just kept saying SHOES SHOES over and over and pointing. Ooooh Awww!
WHAT AM I READING?
I am almost done reading "The Shack" - It's an interesting read. I am not normally a very religious person but someone told me about this book after I went through some rough personal issues recently. The theme of the book is this: Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?
It has actually made me look at some things from a different perspective and comforted me in what I was dealing with mentally. It is deep, I will warn you, and not too light hearted. But still a good read for anyone that has dealt with any kind of tragedy in their life and is trying to make peace with it.
On a lighter note.... I've jumped on the "50 Shades of Grey" bandwagon. Well... almost. I downloaded the sample to my Kindle and it seems good. I'll purchase it next weekend when I have more time to read. I hadn't heard of this book until SNL (Saturday Night Live) did a super funny skit on it this past weekend. Yup I live in a cave apparently.
WATCH IT HERE if you want to laugh!!
Then the next day, my dental hygienist told me to BUY IT NOW. Someone else told me to BUY IT NOW. One of my bloggy friends is reading it and recommended it. My dental hygienist called it Mommy Porn. Hahahaha! Sure, I'm in - I can use a fast read like that after the Shack!
THE MONTH OF MAY
This weekend coming up is an exciting one for us! This month in general is a great one actually!
In the month of May, Brian and I are celebrating 5 years of marriage! We are celebrating our 2nd Mother's Day! And .... Our baby girl Julianna's 2nd birthday! So exciting!
For our anniversary, Brian is taking me to a very special restaurant where they grow their own food and it's supposed to be incredible - not to mention it's on a 90 acre mountain top location. I can't wait!
For Mother's Day, we are going with my mother to the place where we got married, for brunch. We went last year and it was fabulous. Can't wait to go again this Sunday!
And... last but not least, for Julianna's party - we are doing a small party here with just some close friends & family - at the house- just a small BBQ. Nothing crazy like last year. It's a Minnie Mouse theme since J loves the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! It's going to be a great month!
That's all for now... Let's do the hotdog dance...
(Mickey Mouse Clubhouse song that Julianna loves to dance to!)
