Fun Mini Vacation

I had a mini vacation at the beginning of the week. I was off work on Monday and Tuesday which was very nice and a much needed time away from work. On Monday my mom, Marin and I ventured out to the Dallas Arboretum and walked through the gardens and had lunch at the small cafe there. It was nice and we enjoyed it. They had a few structures they built for their Storybook Exhibit and Marin had a lot of fun playing in that area. On Tuesday I dragged Eric to go see Harry Potter 6 with me at the movie theater. I really liked it a lot better than the previous one but I think Goblet of Fire (4th one) was the best so far. I can't wait until the last one because it will be the most action and the most dramatic. I hope it will be the best of them all.

As many of you who read this blog already know Eric lost his job recently. It has been tough for him looking for something else but he has a positive attitude about it. We booked a trip to Vancouver a few months ago and we are supposed to go in September. With our current situation I am not sure if I should cancel the trip and be out $100 in cancellation fees or if we should just go ahead and go anyway. Hmm...I am the worst at making these kinds of decisions.

Made $371…Not too shabby!!

The garage sale was a success! We made $371 which is awesome since my goal was only to make $300. Of course we didn't sell everything so now I have to decide what to keep and what to send to the Advocacy Center. I did use some of the money to buy a rug for the living room. I love the laminate floors but felt we needed something to bring the furniture together in the living room since the breakfast nook has laminate floors also and it was hard to feel a separation between the two rooms. Before it was ceramic tile and the living room was carpet.

The new Harry Potter movie is coming out this week. I am not going to see it until next week. I have Monday and Tuesday of next week off so I am going to spend a little time with my mom and Marin on Monday and then drag Eric to the movies to see it with me on Tuesday. This weekend is Eric's birthday. His family is coming in to help him celebrate. I asked him if he wanted me to make him a cake and he gave me the "look". If you know Eric well then you know he doesn't like sweets...he likes sweet and sour candy like sour skittles and sour straws but he does not like cake or cookies or any of that junk. How someone cannot like chocolate is beyond me but that is just the way he is. Plus he is also watching carbs like I am so he can't have anything sweet anyway. I guess he'll just have to settle for a case of beer for his birthday.

Garage Sale!!

For the 4th we were invited to our friends house in Fairview. They have a really nice pool they just built last year and we got to lounge around in it for most of the day. Marin really seemed to enjoy it. I don't know if I have allergies or if I caught a cold but for the past

EXTREME FRUSTRATION

Lately, I have been extra frustrated with the things going on in my life. Here are some of the things I hate right now: 1. When you constantly email and call someone and they totally ignore you and never email or call back. 2. When someone walks all over you and you totally let them!! And act like its for the best!!! WAKE UP and smell the betrayal!! 3. When someone can't take care of their obligations and responsibilities! You made your
