Not sure if you have noticed but I am so addicted to the all mighty exclamation mark!!!!!! It's a rarity to not end a sentence with one! I guess it fits my personality. I am a very excited person!
The funniest part about it is if my husband is in our email account and I need him to respond to an email for me he jokingly asks me how many !!! he needs to add after each sentence!
I guess there are worse things to be addicted to right?!

Back to reality
I had the best day yesterday with my family! We went to a 4th of July celebration show at the church, then to the in laws and then watched the fireworks on the beach! How perfect is that! I was so touched all day just thinking about the love I have for this country!I was moved to tears at the show when they presented the flag and had representatives from all branches of the military. I just wanted to hug all of them and thank them.
Today I am playing catch up on all my house work. it's so hard keeping on top of it when half my house is in boxes and it looks like a storage unit. Even when it's clean it doesn't look clean or organized. It drives me a little insane! I already did a number on my kitchen and now I'll move onto my room and see how far the momentum takes me! I feel really motivated today! That's a plus!

Crazy Dream!!!
Do any of you watch Flip this house on A&E. I love watching it and That guy Armando, from the San Antonio episodes drives me crazy. He is such a mean guy some times and I think his way of doing things is a little abrasive at times... anyway... Last night I had this crazy dream!!!!
I had a dream that I met him at a book signing party and we hit it off really well. We were then babysitting his son "Mondo Man" and flirting! I kept thinking.." This is crazy! We're both married! Even in my dreams I was a super faithful wife! I woke up and told my husband this morning that I'm so in love with him I won't even cheat on him in my dreams!
So strange because when I watch the show I keep saying what a jerk he seems like! I must be subconsciously attracted to his bad boy complex which I didin't know I liked! Ha Ha! I have the strangest dreams!

The perfect weekend
I haven't had such an ideal weekend in forever! It was so perfect. It started off getting a call from Mike while he was on his way to racket ball at 7 am Sat. morning telling me that there was a yard sale with what looked like a perfect shabby chic cabinet with my name all over it! WHAT!!! Mike calling me telling me to go shopping!!! SCORE!
So I get the girls up and go to this yard sale and see it!!! It was so perfect! So me! It was antique white with crystal knobs. It would have been perfect for an entry. I ask how much..."$5!" WHAT!!! " I'll take it!" But sadly it just wasn't meant to be. Someone else was toying with the idea of buying it and the seller wanted to make sure he had the first go at it! DARN!!!! So that was the only bad part of the day!
Since I was out I just got the yard sale itch so I went hunting and man did I have my best yard sale day EVER!!! I know I went against the grain and ended up throwing our initial plan of selling all our stuff to minimize the amount to move! It just didn't really pan out that way after Saturday!! We're getting a bigger truck at this point!
Here's what I found...
A super comfy new leather couch!
An antique trunk
5 gallon glass water jug
A pottery Barn coffee table and end table
An Antique end table styled after an ice box (this was a huge find for me!)
A Cast iron skillet
An antique stool ( may become the naughty chair!)
A few other Antique accessories
My house looked like a furniture factory! It was a huge joke When Mike came home and I shared all my finds! He was super impressed with the deal and quality of the items I brought home! Trust me... When I go yard selling I have a mission. It's like I have radar. I can sift through the crap and find the good stuff! But right away Mike said we'll be renting a bigger truck! I told him it was his fault for calling me that morning! Ha Ha!!!!
I haven't decided which pieces I'll refinish and crackle and distress. It all depends on where I put it. Believe it or not but I only paid $282 for my little morning shopping spree! Couch included!!!! I told you all I was Queen of Yard Sales!!!
After all that excitement we took the girls to the dog beach and meet up with some friends!It was a blast! We picked up are all time favorite Mexican food and had a great day at the beach!
And the perfect day ended with a get together of old friends for dinner. Oddly enough so many of us were in town all at once! I had my two best friends all growing up Starla and Julie, and a handful of friends all from Middle school there! Anie, Krissy, Anie's Sister Jamie, Whitney and my sister! It was the best night! I still talk the most out of the bunch and everyone is the same! I just love my friends!! I really have a great group of friends that I so love!!! Thanks guys for a great night! Nights like that will be few and far between!
We sold some more furniture and that's always good news! Dude, craigslist draws in the strangest crowd!!! Coo Coo's!!! Anyway... That helped make room for all the new "inventory" at my house! Sunday was perfect as well! Church was great! It really was my favorite weekend! What more could I have asked for, Family! Great food, Great finds and friends!
