Yesterday's road trip...

Timbit donuts - to keep 2 1/2 year old child sedated in car seat

Triple, triple Timmy's coffee - to keep above child's Mommy happy

Sausage 'n Egg Mcmuffin - to keep driver happy

All of the above to keep me sane, definitely priceless!

Great visit with some of my family yesterday :) Stay tuned for photos...

Rememberance Day

Lest we forget... what do those words mean to you ?

My grandfather was active in the war. And only once my father passed away, did I really know anything about his years of service. I am thankful he survived unlike many others who served our country in those times. And I really wish he had shared more about those times, as painful as his memories may have been; I definitely appreciate Rememberance Day more than some due to my Grandfather.

He passed away in February, and not a moment goes by when I don't miss him. He was a pillar of strength to me, always full of love for those around him.

Compassionate, kind, & gentle; I cannot think of him as a man of war. But indeed, he stepped forward to do his duty and for that I am thankful. I try to appreciate his efforts as part of the plea for peace in such a craZy world.

And this morning, during my moment of silence, I wished for peace to find a way to thrive each and every day. For I know in my heart, my grandfather was not the only veteran that would agree the best way to honor their memories would be to Never Forget.

With a click of my heels...

Hehehehe... so Sean & I went shopping on Sunday. I was intent on getting a new purse. So we visited quite a few different stores in search of a purse that would strike my fancy.

So I came home with one less purse... but with a brand new addition to my shoe wardrobe.

And I must say, I love them!

*despite the bowling reference someone made...

It's 4 am...

I can't sleep.

Could be because I woke up with a migraine this morning and ended up sleeping til about 3pm today in hopes of getting rid of it. I got out of bed for about an hour at noon to have some oj, but eventually fell back asleep between 1:30pm and 2pm.

So now, I have no migraine *YaY* but I'm wide awake.
