The picture above, three lovely ladies and lots of food.

Here is a sample plate from the latest shower given by Emily and myself. Emily made her amazing slaw, which I love, love, love!

I really wish I knew how to put pictures on here the right way. Someday I'll figure it out.

Anyway, I got the idea to make the cute tissue paper poms from a postI found on

design mom.com. I love her blog so many cute ideas. The poms were cute and very easy to make. One fun thing about them was they changed the lighting in my kitchen. I liked that. If you have any good shower ideas, please do tell...

IDOL

Regarding my last post... Jordin Sparks hadn't performed yet. I just watched her and she was great. I can't believe she's only 17. Go Jordin!

DON'T GIVE UP ON ME

I haven't posted anything lately, but I hope you don't give up on me. I promise a great post with pics from the shower Emily and I are giving this weekend.

Is anyone watching Idol? Who do you like?

I like the beat boxer guy, I like LaKisha, and I like Melinda Doolittle.

My Hands Are Bananas

David, this is for you.

MS AWARENESS WEEK

Today starts the beginning of MS Awareness Week. I'm usually of the philosophy of K.I.S.S., keep it simple stupid. There are a few things that will be going on this week, but in order for me to keep to my philosophy I will be dining at Baja Fresh on Wednesday. Fifteen percent of the proceeds between 11am and 5pm will go directly to the NMSS if you present Baja Fresh with the flyer you can download at this site: http://aza.nationalmssociety.org. If either of my readers want to meet me there for lunch let me know.

TALENT

It always amazes me when when someone has a God-given talent. For instance Christina Aguilera..... her voice is like a musical instrument. We saw her in concert last night and she was AMAZING! I really enjoyed the concert and I liked the fact that there was no cussing. I know she must train her voice, but she was born with that talent.

I saw a news clip today about a 7 year old girl that can snowboard like no other. Again, a God-given talent.

My husband has a God-given talent of humor. He never fails to make me laugh. He was telling me about a situation at work where he was on the phone with a banker and she put him on hold. It wasn't one minute, two minutes, or three minutes. It was ten minutes. When she returned to the call with David he said, "Can you hold a minute I have to blow out the candles on my cake." She said, "Excuse me." David said, "Oh, I've been on hold so long I need to blow out the candles on my birthday cake." She didn't get the joke, but when David was telling me about it I couldn't stop laughing.

What is your God-given talent?
