Ladies Night

Last night some of my girlfriends and I went to Ladies Night at The Melting Pot. It was so much fun! Not only did I get to see my friends that I haven't seen in three months, but I also took my neighbor with me who does not go out and do things for herself. We talked and laughed and bonded and just caught up with each other. All proceeds go to different charities in the area. Last night it was for The Children's Hospital. The have raffles, vendors there to showcase their new products and lots of Ladies. It gets really packed really fast.The girls and I have decided this is something we are going to keep doing every couple of months. If you live near a Melting Pot, please take the opportunity to go. Here are a couple of pics I took. I love the one with me and the steam...LOL

Greg Nye the Science Guy

Greg and I have been working on one of his science projects. He is making Crystals. There are several ways you can make crystals. The main ingredient is water and either Borax, Sugar or Salt. We chose Borax. It's been fun to watch. We are still experimenting with how long it sits in the water and then exactly how much borax to use. It's been fun.

My Birthday

Oh my gosh, I did not realize how long it had been since I blogged. Please forgive me. We have had some trials that I was trying to work through, and I have been having a hard time making it through holidays without my dad. On my birthday, Jan. 13, 09, my Mother-In-Law and I don't agree on some things, but we both agree we LOVE The Olive Garden. So for my birthday she took me there for lunch. When I was on my way back home my Mom called and asked if I was home. I told her that my Mother-In-Law had taken me out to lunch and I was on my way. She said I needed to hurry up and get home because I had a surprise. What a great surprise it was. My Mom sent flowers for my birthday. It was quite the treat because I LOVE flowers. They were so bright and cheery it just made my day.
