The stars have aligned!!!

[Scrapbook Extravaganza 2013 ]
I’m so excited to say that after [about] FIVE [+] years – my name has FINALLY popped up off the waiting list for the Teresa Collins Las Vegas Event –
During the SAME week that Southwest was having a MEGA-SALE. {{yay}}
I’m in y’all!
It’ll be so fun to attend a real honest-to-goodness scrapbook event full of classes, a crop,
AND GOODIES.
Can’t wait to take classes with Teresa and all her glittery goodness –

and my main sparkler, Margie, is going to be there too!!
It’s going to be great!!

I'm not sure WHY we didn't get a photo during the last SPARK event!!!]

Other than that, this has been a ‘regular’ week –

No travel out of town…

Catching up on things at work and around the house.

Hey y'all - the mosquitoes are BAD this year!

[As in – fester up like a fire ant bite, BAD]

And they surely got to me last week when we were working on the patio cover –
so we headed to Wal-Mart and picked up this handy-dandy machine

[I’ve had one before, but accidentally left it out in the rain…duh.]

IT WORKS!

Now I can sit outside as long as I want and not worry about losing any blood. Ha.

I even took it to The Concert in the Park where we met friends for dinner and music.

[Always a fun thing to do at least A FEW times during the summer!]

And, you got it – NO BITES!

Wonderful.

In other news, I’ve read SEVEN books this week!

[The Pride Series by Jill Sanders]

Just sweet little romance reads where there always seems to be some manic trying to kill someone – ha. There was the occasional language that I didn’t care for and a few ‘love scenes’ that were a little too detailed for me [personally,] but other than that, a good read [obviously – I’ve almost read them all – ha.] But it is a little sad to me how quickly they all seemed to take their relationship ‘to the next level’ – like the third date or so..
I’m so glad I’m not living single in this day and age…
