No…really. I wanna go there. But *only* if James Blunt is there and only if he’ll sing to me. I already loved him and then he had to go and do something adorable like sing this:

Seriously…how cute is he?

So today was uncomfortably hot and muggy…and the air conditioning in my car is broken.  Shocking, I know…especially for those who have ever been in any car I’ve ever driven. LOL! Let’s pour one out for the old station wagon. Moment of silence.

Ok…anyway, since our fridge broke the other day we had to go and replace *everything*.  So after I cleaned up around the house, played with the dogs (Oh yeah, we got a new puppy! Details and pics coming later in this post.), did some laundry and all that jazz, Lily and I went to the store.  We had a nice lunch at the grocery store (that’s what she picked) and then spent about an hour and twenty-five minutes getting groceries.  She entertained the meat counter guys by beat-boxing and singing Hannah Montana…which they loved, of course.  She also sang “Oh…sweet po-ta-tooooooo” over and over and over again for about 5 minutes straight. That was a blast.  She thought she dropped the tiny little plastic kitten statue that Nan gave her….so she cried about losing something that Nan had given her. 

Of course, after my cart was overflowing and I had even stuffed things into the truck part on top that Lily was riding in….I picked the poor little checkout guy with carpal tunnel (sorry, dude) and three packs of turkey chops rang up wrong and Lily was getting VERY tired of shopping, and a little lady got in line behind me with like 3 things so I felt bad for making her wait so long.  The exciting part about this is that since our grocery store rocks, so I got $20.00 of turkey chops for free since they rang up wrong!

Thank goodness for drive-up grocery service because it wouldn’t all fit in one cart and I never would have been able to get 2 carts and Lily to the car in a busy parking lot.  Well, if I had packed the bags it probably would have all fit…but the people at the store don’t seem to realize that they can pack a lot more into the canvas bags than in the plastic grocery ones.  Oh well…he was a nice kid and even helped me load the bags into my car!

I can’t show puppy pics and CHA pics yet because there is still something wrong with the network drive thingy. Yep, that is the official term.  My dear, sweet hubby will surely fix that problem after dinner.

Since the Oscraps shop is down until tomorrow, the Cheery-Os have been doing some awesome challenges! The “Out of the Box Challenge” lets you get a free piece of word art and then a chance to win a $5.00 GC to my store….all for just scraping a layout that isn’t your usual style.  Pretty easy, right?

My niece is being baptized on Sunday, and I’m her godmother! I have to figure out what to make or buy her as a gift.  Maybe I’ll just make something little and get her a savings bond….oooh no….I just figured it out! I can’t say here just in case my brother or sister-in-law reads this.  I doubt if they do, but just in case.

In other news: Congrats to my CT Member, Rachel, on the birth of her new baby boy! She called me today and let me know that she and the perfect baby boy are doing well!

Ok, get ready to laugh! Lily just came in from playing outside while Shan grilled dinner and said, “Phew! I am SMA-OKIN’ HOT!” Oh Lord, help us.

So anyway…I’m off to go search the Disney Outlet  for a Halloween costume for Lily (Thanks for the hint, Laura!), chill with the family, and have some dinner.  I’ll hopefully have pics to show tomorrow or maybe I’ll even update later if I get *really* crazy! Oh, and Kara…dude, I miss you!

Until next time, I hope all your dreams are triangular!
