Miscellaneous Musings

~ We finally sold our bed!...and for the exact price we listed it for!! Our new bed should be delivered in about a week and a half. For now we have the mattresses set on the floor.

~ Some of my Texas family is coming in for a short visit this weekend! Can't wait to see them!

~ Luci is really loving blueberries lately!! She can eat those things like crazy! She is also obsessed with Colby jack cheese sticks. Every day when we get home from work she takes us and points at the refrigerator...that is her sign for "hurry up and get me my daily cheese stick!!"

~ Luci is really enjoying her bath time lately...so much that it is almost a fight every night to get her out. She flails, plays "limp body", and then dissolves into tears. Thankfully, that only lasts just a minute, but it is still frustrating! I guess it could be worse...she could hate bath time...

~ I am a making a 5 cup fruit salad tonight...it is so yummy!!! I am posting the recipe at the bottom of the post!

~ Work has been EXHAUSTING the last two weeks. Hopefully only one more week of this madness and it will slow down. I am sooo ready for fall!

~ After a really HOT HOT HOT summer, the family finally made the decision on next summer vacation...where u ask...WISCONSIN...yeah, I know what you are thinking...the same thing I was...What is there to do in Wisconsin, BUT it actually seems like a pretty cool state!!! In addition to lovely 83 degree weather in July, we are staying at the largest water park resort in the country! (My family is really big into water/theme parks!) The good thing about this is that Luci will be old enough next year to enjoy some of the stuff...and since we will be staying at the resort, we can come and go as we please. Even though it is a year away, we are still really excited to go!! I am also hoping that on our drive up there that we can make a detour through Chicago! Mitch and I have never been and I would love to see a few of the sites!
