HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY TO MY SWEET FRIEND LORI ANNE!!

*Our Weekend*

*Our Weekend*
Well, basically....it was boring and uneventful, which is really the way I like it. Saturday morning I worked on my throw-pillows for our bed. I'm oh-so-close to taking some pictures but, ummmm, K-man still needs to hang my curtains. *waiting, waiting*
Saturday afternoon I went to my parents' house because Nick has a mowing job set up with their neighbors. So while he mowed, I just hung out at in my parents' empty house (remember, they are on a much-deserved cruise). I was a little (a lot) annoyed at how clean my mom left her house. It's quite clear that she doesn't have a toddler living there to make sure clutter is strewn about. And darn it, I left Lucy at home with K-man so I wasn't even able to leave behind evidence of my wonder-tot. Next time.
My mom is an exceptional decorator. They have a simple home but each room is beautifully adorned with her special touch. Every shelf, wall, dresser top has beautiful vases, pictures, and other things she finds at a bargain (she also loves to shop and finds the most wonderful things). Their bedroom looks like a presidential suite in a fine hotel. Their guest bedroom looks like a cozy room in a quaint New England bed and breakfast. Every room is exquisite.
So having said all of that, you will understand why I literally laughed out loud when I looked in the refrigerator to find a snack....sure that, knowing my mom, I would find some delicious delicacies that she prepared for their return. But no. The refrigerator was almost empty...with the usual staples scattered here and there. Except....the top shelf........all alone sat....
A Giant jug of cheap wine and a jar of pickles.
Oh my gosh she's gonna kill me!!

Saturday afternoon/evening we were dodging tornadoes. Seriously, I love these storms!! No, I don't wish any harm or damage on anyone as a result....I just can't help but love the roaring thunder....high winds....side-ways rain. Love it!
K-man storm-chasing!

the jar of pickles looked like only 1 pickle was left!!!!! what a combo. and i can't believe you like the storms. i like the sideways rain and the smell... but the thunder and winds make me cry. (i'm a sissy that way.)
Why have a stayed away so long??! As usual, fun stuff going on at your house, Lori! : )
Don't sell yourself short...looks like you got the decorating gene from your mother. I love storms, too.

I love storms, too! Strangely, my kids are utterly terrified of them. I am cracking up over your annoyance at your mom's clean house. haha You would feel no annoyance if you came to mine. :)
I am happiest when my kids are all at home. I feel like I can just breathe easier!
