Jen Reed Rocks and Happy Mother's Day

Yes, my best friend in the world is awesome. Just thought I would tell you all that. I got this today... put a huge smile on my face and made me laugh (bonus)!

Happy Mother's Day to JEN, my mom (June), my aunts (Becky, Laurie and Jenny), my grandma (Rita), my sister-in-law (Trisha - preggo with baby girl!!) and all the moms out there! For all you do - cheers!

Spring color suggestions...

Jen has put me to task to pick out some colors to <gasp> DESIGN something and suggested spring. I have some ideas (she also said NO PASTELS) but would love input! You can post comments here with RGB#s or email me at jeanine@kristyvalshan.com.

When I think spring i think of green grass and sunny skies - what do you think of?

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!!

FUN weekend!

Wow! It has been so long since I had a really fun weekend that was not kid-related - like years and years and years!

I had a wonderful date Friday night - I had to check in with 4 people via text when I was home safe! I have some protective friends - they are the best. We went bowling (and I won both games, which of course made it better - tee hee) and it was just really nice!

On Saturday I had a blast with Sandy and Melanie. We went to Macaroni Grill and then to the "Catch a Rising Star" comedy club in Princeton. Then we hung out at the bar and just gabbed - although I think Melanie was falling asleep! LOL!

So today I am tired but in a good way. Running errands, cleaning up, etc. I pick up the kids from their father's at 7 and I am looking forward to seeing them, but all in all this was a really great "grown up" weekend.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Positive Affirmations

Alright, so do any of you believe in positive affirmations?

I have read they really help your outlook but just laugh when i say them. Then someone suggested to me that you ask a friend to give you one (like if someone told me I was strong, that would be my affirmation). So I asked Jen to give me one and she said to say "I am Rotund".

Sigh.


LOLOL. It makes me smile though!

Oh - one last funny. Calista today said she wants to be on the "credit cardinal" team while we were playing catch outside with the football. My kind of girl!! :)

Trying to get back into it

Yes, trying to get back into the swing of things and having a rough go of it. As you can see from my last post (go somewhere else to do your thing, yk?), the divorce process isn't going very smoothly/quickly. I just want it to be done so we can all move forward. I would like the house to be sold NOW, the papers signed NOW, move on with everything NOW. I filed for divorce in September and we seem no closer to the end than at that time - everything is having to go through the court instead of being settled because of...

Boy am i biting my tongue here (or would it be clamping my hands?)!

Anyone else been through this and have words of wisdom for me?  Thanks for those of you who have emailed me your thoughts already.

So LOST was on last night. Woo hoo! i missed some of it (thanks to APRIL - LOLOL) but will be watching it again. I am not a TV person at all but would like to start getting into some shows to keep my mind off of the stuff going on - what shows do you watch? I just started watching 24 this season too and it is decent. I also like ghost hunters due to my friendly ghost that lives with me but then i get all freaked out!

Let me know if you have any TV recommendations.

Back to LOST - some of my random thoughts: I think Miles is Wickman/Candle/Pierre's baby; if no one can die off the island if the island won't let them how will Locke die or any of them for that matter; does Walt have to go back to the island too; why doesn't locke remember the compass when alpert comes to see him as a boy; where has the smoke monster gone; and OMG I didn't catch "ellie" (thanks Jen) but that is short for "eloise" which is faraday's rat's name and his mother's name and widmore is on the island so widmore could be faraday's father and Penny his sister!! Whoa!

Will stop now. Brain spinning.

***********************************************************************
BTW - signed up for chemistry.com / match.com to see what is out there. I think it would be nice to meet new people who are hopefully normal. LOL.

Have a good day all!

Bad day but GREAT night

I have officially established myself as a LOST addict. I am not really a TV person but LOST (and Jen - LOL) have kind of changed that. Three hours of Lost tonight after a downright horrible day?!? I am so there!

Post if you are going to watch, or after and let me know what you think! Enjoy it.
