It's been a whole week since my vacation and I'm just getting around to blogging. I am the worst managing my time and getting stuff done.

So let's see.... We had a bbq at my brother's place for Memorial Day. I got to spend some time with the crazy kiddos on Saturday too. The little guy is getting so big already.
And T & K made me the most awesome birthday presents!
I had a really fun birthday. I did some shopping for new clothes, got my nails done, took Penny for a super long walk. Then I had dinner at one of my favorite Mexican places with Randi and then met up with some friends for drinks at the Rover. Here I am with Pam and MJ.

The rest of the week was pretty cool. I saw Sex and The City 2 (blech!) and Shrek 3 (awesome!). Sang some karaoke at Sparky's on Wednesday. On Thurday, my job through a really fun newsroom appreciation party on the beach in Rye. One of they guys at work played with his band. And the blue sangria was awesome. On Saturday, I hung out in NYC with my co-worker Melissa. We were trying to go to a free concert, but they were at capacity after we waited around for an hour. So we went to a few bars (including a fun tiki place) and had some burgers. Lots of fun.

Here's my tiki drink from Rusty Knot.

I didn't get any crafty stuff done. But I did cross a few things off my to-do list. It was so nice to be home. They missed me at work though. One of my co-workers even hugged me and asked me to let her know the next time I planned to take a Friday off. Glad someone appreciates all I do!

Mom got Penny a dog house for her birthday and put it together last weekend. Penny is kind of afraid of it! We keep putting treats in it and on top (it has a balcony!) Mostly she just barks at it!

Penny had a vet appointment this week and the doctor says she's very healthy. She was such a pain at the vet - whining at all the other dogs. After that, I took her for a long walk around the pond at the park to get that nervous energy out. She's being pretty good today - Rocky's here and they are both relaxing on the couch. There was a cat outside the window before and Penny's whining woke me up. Not cool.

I don't think I've mentioned that I'm on a new CT! I'm scrapping for Amy Wolff at Lily Pad! I have known her since she was on the CT at RAKScraps so now it's fun to be working for her. Plus I just love the Lily Pad store so it's fun to be getting more involved there.

My first page uses Amy's No Flowers Allowed kit and Off Set alphas. Here's our new little guy with all of his aunties. Credits

And here's one I did using some of the Lily Pad BOYC stuff for June recapping my 33rd year and all the awesome stuff I did. Credits

Tonight is the girls' dance recital. Should be interesting. They are in a total of 5 numbers this year and the theme is Disney. I hope it's not as bad as last year's Beatles-themed show. It wasn't just that the dancing was bad, but there was a guy playing piano and singing most of the songs in a loud, off-key way. I hope they got a different player!
