Back Home Again
Monday night we flew back into town around 6:15 pm. We had to head right to Bible School which started at 7:45. We were sooooooooooooo tired but we really needed to go. Carlos teaches the second year students and I am in year one and didn't want to get behind.
My friend Ruth lent me her shoulder. I did my best not to fall asleep! I was deliriously tired but I made it though the two hours!
As you can see we were all kind of wired that night LOL but even with all that we had two great lessons taught by Adam or should I say Professor Adam! :-)
I did finish Oceans Apart and Sunrise by Karen Kingsbury. Ocean's Apart is not part of a series it is a stand alone book. It is a great read. I was excited though to start the Sunrise series. I have missed the Baxter family and couldn't wait to see what was going on with their lives. I have now started Summer which will be the last book in the series I read until the next two come out next. That will be a sad day for me because that will be the end of the Baxter's because Karen Kingsbury has stated that this will conclude the series. She did leave the door open that in the future she might go back to the Baxter's. I hope she does!
This morning it was so hard for me to wakeup but I did and got the kids off to school. After I drove the kids to school my desire was to get changed and head to the gym. I decided to sit down and have a cup of tea and watch the news for a little bit . . .well two hours later . . . I jumped up and I looked at the clock and it was 11:30 . . .I couldn't believe I fell back asleep for 2 hours but I know I needed it.I ended up getting dressed and then went to Hallmark to buy the kids their annual Christmas ornaments. In this bag hold this years ornaments . . .the contents can't be opened until our annual decorate the house for Christmas day which is the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Because I am a Gold Crown Member of Hallmark they send me money back dollars throughout the year and special coupons. I ended up getting $15.00 off my total purchase, a free ornament and this cute server and plate set for free. If you like Hallmark ornaments and products make sure you sign up to be a Gold Crown member . . .it's totally free and the benefits are great!
After Hallmark I went to the grocery to buy the items I needed to make my Tortilla Soup and Vegetable Soup. We had a cold front come in so it was perfect timing to make some big batches of soup. Here are the links to the recipes: http://emilys5blessings.blogspot.com/2007/03/tortilla-soup.html
Alexia picked up Sierra for me so I finished my shopping and then headed home. I did a little Christmas shopping online and then headed to the gym and the library to return the books. I came home and made the Tortilla soup. It was a quiet dinner, just me, Landon and Sierra were at home tonight. Carlos was at a meeting with Ken and Alexia and Taylor were at a basketball game. When Taylor got home I headed over to Lisa's around 9 pm for coffee. I had not seen her since last Thursday so we had TONS to talk about. I was only going to stay an hour but ended up staying until midnight. About the time Ken and Carlos walked in the door so we hung out a little longer and then I headed home. I wanted to try to read some of Sunrise tonight but I think I am going to head to bed.

So glad you're back home again! Hey... are you going to do a special BE demonstration using all of the new stuff you just got? I'm anxious to use mine! And, I bought that kit from Costco as well. The one with the bisque in it. Now I'm wondering if I should go buy the eye kit or not. I think I have enough eye stuff now with the QVC kit and the Costco kit with bisque, don't you? I don't usually do much with my eyes anyway so things in these 2 packages might be enough, right? I'm tempted to try the special eye kit, but don't want to spend the $$ if I don't need to.
Hi Cindy . . .I actually haven't had a chance to dive into it yet but I will soon. I have been so tired since we have been home I haven't even done my face :-) LOL
I think you would love that eye kit but you know best if you would really use it. I know it is a GREAT deal so you can't go wrong . .. either way . . you are set with your new colors or you could splurge and pick up that other kit too . . .:-)
The soup looks delicious! Can't wait to try the Tortilla!
Jennifer . . .it is so yummy! I always make a double batch so we have left overs for a few days!
The cooler weather is heavenly....now if it will stick around a bit....we bounced between 58 and 88 this week.....as highs.
De'Etta,
We are back in the 80's but there is another cold front coming in for the weekend.
