What'ya think?

I did the dreaded last week and went to the optomitrist. I don't know exactly why I dislike about that particular Dr. Most people dread the Dentist, I rather enjoy sitting in THAT chair. It most likely could be the fact that I don't like failing. . . . and passing those stupid eye exams is something that I just can't do on my own. Beyond that, I try to invision what the Dr acctually looks like instead of listening to what he is saying. (because I have to take my contacts OUT before actually meeting said dr.) Then there's the whole 30 minute A or B, 1 or 2 phiasco . . . . . but as much as I dislike GOING to the eye dr, I love LEAVING. As I drove away I thought, "oh, I guess it isn't normal to be constantly squinting" and the infamous "you mean trees have leaves?" Driving is a whole new ball game when you can actually read the road signs.

I must say, this was the first in 21 years I was actually EXCITED for a pair of glasses! What do you think? It's hard to see in the photo, but they've got "bling" on the sides. And, I got a haircut. Now, your homework is for all my nephews and nieces is to study this photo so they will recognize which aunt mauls them in T-minus two months.

An Enchanting Day!

Baaaahhh! So, that title is a bit cheesy, {ok, alot cheesy} but we really did have an awesome day! We decided to take a little day trip up to Fredericksburg {a little German town about an hour northwest of SA} We've been wanting to make it up that way since we moved here, there's one thing we can cross off our 'list'.

We/I had a blast walking around all the little shops down main street. Some of our/my favorites were the scrapbook store, numerous quilt/ jewelry/ craft/ home decor shops, {Michael is SUCH a good sport} and a HUGE sauce & spice store. I kid you not they had AT LEAST a billion different sauces, salsas, dips, and chips. . . . all for your tasting pleasure. We snatched up a little yummy basil pesto and some key lime fudge. (the only non-chocolate number. . . . also my fav flavor) YUM. We also viewed our fair share of Texas paraphernalia shops where we learned "In Texas, Farting is a Competetive Sport". You better pray we have your name for Christmas because we baught the last trucker cap and coffee mug with that amazing quote.

We then went a little further up the road to Enchanted Rock State Park. It's a 425 ft "pink" rock. We hiked to the top and had a little looksy at the beautiful Texas Hill-Country. I was in LOVE with the drive. . . . Spring in South Texas=WILDFLOWERS!! All along the highway are these pretty wild flowers, green trees, rolling hills, and roaming 'livestock'. I may have miss-labeled said livestock, but that's not important.

Ok, I know you're thinking the ground looks brown to you . . .but it did have a kind of 'pink' tint to it. . . some Indian tribe said Spaniards cast a spell on it and turned it a funky color. Hopefully we can make it back again soon. We ended the day eating "authentic" German cuisine. I'll stick to burgers and french fries. :)

Sexiest Man Alive

So says People Magazine. {its a shame I didn't nominate Michael in time.} I'm not 100% convinced about that {sorry Paige} but, I'll give you that he's a fabulous actor.

We saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine last night and boy was it a good one. Go ahead and call me a comic geek, or as some may say 'comic educated' although. . . I'M not really educated, simply entertained. Anyway. . . . loved the movie and very excited for theaters this summer.

Now that THAT's over. . . .

We can get on to more important things . . . . like blogging.

{'that' being the fundraisers for the youth . . . . aka garage sale and dinner auction . . . I'll spare the details and leave it at both were huge successes}

Kind of cool...

Heaven

April 9th and 96 degrees right now.
Seriously.
If only San Antonio had mountains and my mom I'd stay here forever.

I LOVE this time of year, it just seams everone is happier when the sun is shinning: namely me, and the cashier at the grocery store - I'll take it.

Going Once, Going Twice. . .

SOLD!!
Well . . . . hopefully anyway.

This is the quilt I made for our ward's scout auction in a couple of weeks. Hopefully the guys in troup 421 can make a little money off of my latest project.
