Wow, can you believe that it’s July 2 already? Geez, this year is flying fast!! Here’s my FOBTY results for Sweet Shoppe Designs:

You Are a Banana Smoothie

You are friendly and popular without even trying to be. People just like you. You are easy to be around and never offend everyone. You’re quite mild. You have a warm demeanor, and many people find you to be inviting. You are sympathetic and kind. You have a soft spot in your heart for everyone.

Can you believe it’s June 25th? I can’t!! Lots has happened. Hannah fell last week and broke her elbow in three places. She was life flighted out to Salt Lake City and was in surgery for four hours on Saturday. She’s recovering fairly well, she’s in a lot of pain, but that is to be expected.

Here’s my FOBTY for this week:
LMAO - this is SO not me! LOL

You Are No Swimsuit

You are totally, completely comfortable with your body. And you’re not judgmental about other people’s bodies either. You are connected to nature. You feel best when you are outdoors. You are a serene and peaceful person. You focus on what’s truly important… not material possessions.

Today we were asked to see what our special gift is. I think mine is right on. Here’s my results:

Your Gift is Imagination

You are constantly dreaming. You are always thinking about what could be. You love to express yourself in many ways. You have a way with words and tell vivid stories. You love to be amused. You are good entertaining yourself, and other people find you hilarious. You’re the type of person who finds staying happy easy. There’s always fun to be had!

This was a fun quiz!! I think my results are on the money:

You Are Salty

There’s something about you that makes the world a better place. You make life more colorful, more flavorful, and more vibrant. You get along well with others. You always have something to add. Without realizing it, people can become very addicted to you.

Since June is Zoo Month, we were asked to blog about our favorite zoo animal. Mine is hands down the elephant. I just love them. They are so cute and I just love it when they wash themselves with the water in their tusks! It is so cool! I also love it when they have babies following them! It’s such a sweet site and it reminds me of one of my favorite Disney movies - Dumbo! So, if you ever accompany me to the zoo and we get separated from me - just look for me at the elephants.

This summer is going to be pretty busy for us!! School ends on June 5, and the next week, we will be traveling to Seattle, Washington for my nephew’s wedding. After that, we’ll be traveling to Texas to visit my grandma and parents. We will be there a few weeks and then we have a family reunion at the end of June. Then in July, we are planning on returning to Texas to help tend to my grandma. I know it seems weird to go, come back and go again, but this is the best solution. We plan on staying in Texas until school starts again in August.

So, I don’t plan on being home too much this summer! LOL

This week at Sweet Shoppe Designs, we were prompted to write about our May 2009. It was a pretty good month!!

It started with me suffering with pneumonia. But, heavy duty antibiotics has helped get it under control and I feel lots better now. On May 4, my sweet oldest daughter turned 15. I can’t believe that she’s 15!! May also brought the end of the early release Wednesdays! The kids now have to go to school all day on Wednesdays! We also had lots of friends visit, lots of activities and fun. We also celebrated Mother’s Day with a nice dinner cooked by my sweet hubster. I so love Mother’s Day!

Even though it isn’t over yet, we still have some awesome things coming up! This weekend is Memorial Day weekend and we’ll be celebrating with a BBQ. My husband will also celebrate his birthday on the 27th and then my baby girl will turn 13 on May 29. Oh where has the time gone? I will remember May as a month of birthdays and happy times.

This quiz was a fun one! I think my results sound like me:

You Are Blooming Flowers

You are an optimistic person by nature. In even the darkest times, you are hopeful about the future. You feel truly blessed in life and can sometimes be overwhelmed with emotions. You have an artist’s eye. You are always looking for beauty in the mundane. You have a good sense of aesthetics, especially when it comes to shapes and color.

Why is it that when you’re sick, drugged up and really should be resting that you say something stupid that causes drama at a place where you would never ever cause drama? Well, yesterday, I did that. I feel just terrible now because I never meant to cause hurt feelings, anger or any other negative emotion at a place that I just love and adore so much. So, if any of you know what I am talking about please know this: I am SO very sorry!! I never would want to hurt anyone in my life!

I’m still on bed rest and it stinks BIG time. Ugh! I hate it! It just stinks to not be able to do anything but sit in bed and watch tv and play on the computer. I am hoping to get better soon because my nephew is getting married in Seattle in one month and we’re hoping to go!

Anyway, have a great week!

This week in honor of Earth Day, we’re talking about how we are green in our families. We do many things in our home that help to preserve the resources that we have. Here’s what we do:

1. We use cloth bags when we go to the store.
2. We use those energy saving light bulbs in all the light fixtures.
3. We use propane heat instead of electric.
4. We turn out thermostat down low at night.
5. If we want to go to the library which is a block away, we walk instead of drive.
6. We don’t let our water run when we brush our teeth or wash the dishes.
7. We compost our trash.
8. We recycle - which in this town is a BIG thing since there is no recycling center.
9. We use it up and wear it out!

There is more that we can do and I think we’re off to a great start. The thing is, if we don’t take care of the earth, then what will be left for our kids and grandkids?
