Mom's Day and Weekend Recap







WOW two posts in one day!!

Yesterday I had a wonderful day! Dj surprised me with a bouquet of roses on Friday night after I got home late from school. I was so happy and definitely shocked to see them sitting on the table! I love getting flowers, and it's especially meaningful when Dj gets them for me b/c I never know when it might happen. I have been staring at them ever since. Too bad my cats like them just as much, because they've been eating on them since Friday night too. Dj also made a nice breakfast of muffins and eggs, and then I opened a cool new gift which is a new adhesive gun that I can use for scrapbooking. It's HUGE and I love it! I want to personally thank Brianna for telling me about this gun, b/c it's going to change my scrapbooking life for the better! I L-O-V-E this new tool! I got a chance to use it a little bit last night and it's going to be great! No more of those little cheap adhesive pieces of shit that always break from Michaels or JoAnn's.

Saturday night we went to Brynn's daycare's 3rd annual Auction/Casino Night. The director talked me into buying tickets to go. There were lots of items up for auction and there were two parts to the night: a silent auction and a live auction. They were serving alcoholic drinks all night and then after the auction ended, they set up tables for casino games. Dj and I bid on a few items but we didn't end up winning anything. I REALLY wanted to win the cat teeth cleaning prize b/c it was such a good deal. I thought for sure we had it in the bag and then the director's daughter ran in at the last second and put her name down as they were finishing the countdown and that the room w/ that item (among others) was closing. I was so pissed that she signed her name TECHNICALLY when the auction ended. I didn't say anything to her, but I probably should have. I think I was so mad b/c she was the one who actually won it over me/us. I KNOW her parents are going to pay for it b/c she doesn't have any money or a real job right now b/c she's finishing up college. But STILL I really wanted to win that item because both of our cats could have really used a cleaning. GRRRRR Oh well....I guess if we would have won it, then we would have had to choose between our two kitties who would get the cleaning...and choosing between them is just as bad as trying to choose b/t your two children..it's pretty much impossible.

Oh yay! What a great Mother's Day present! It takes a little getting used to because it's so big but it's awesome to almost never run out of adhesive mid project. I got about 12 rolls of refills and I've only used 1 so far. (A little tip about using it though, when you come to the end of the line you want to put adhesive down on, let go of the trigger first and then finish rolling. That way it doesn't "glob" up on you.) Enjoy it!

Ok, I have no idea what this adhesive gun thing is! Pls tell me all about it! Maybe a new "toy" will inspire me to scrapbook!
