Tagged By My Favorite Party Planner

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1. My dreams come true, honest. I don't dream much but when I do most of them actually happen. They turn into Deja vu. They are very common place thing i.e; walking in a room, having a conversation with someone, things like that. The best dream I had that came true was holding a baby girl in the hospital.

2. I can't memorize for the life of me. In my H.S Anatomy class I studies the bones of the body for hours and hours. When test time came I forgot everything and cried through the whole test. But I can remember and relate movie and TV quotes to everything and anything in life. Specifically The Office and Friends situations.

3. I have never done a pull-up, ever. For some reason I can't figure out how to do one, funny I know, but I can do one-handed push-ups with ease.

4. I want lots of kids. 6 would be ideal.

5. I am super indecisive. But when I know what I want, I know what I want.

6. I want to be on a reality show so bad. I have filled out my application for Survivor and The Amazing Race. Someday I will turn them in.

7. My biggest fear is having crooked teeth.

I tag; Megan, Elise, Abby, New Momma Mcallister, Amber, Brandy, and Jackie

Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for;
Modern Medicine- Cora got tubes in her ears this week and I am so grateful. From what we can tell she had a constant ear infection for over 2 months. We tried every antibiotic and nothing worked. So when we saw the ENT and she said Cora was the perfect candidate for tubes I was thrilled. I didn't want Cora to have to suffer any more, nor did I want any permanent damage to her ears. I am glad we did it when we did cause the Doc said her right ear was terrible and there was already scar tissue building up on her ear drum. Hopefully this will help her get back to her normal self and be able to enjoy hearing again :)

Apollo Burger- Yesterday was the first time since Cora has been born that I have sat down and eaten a meal by myself. JJ had let me use his car while he and Pete were out for "business meeting." I took advantage and ran some errands while Cora was down for her nap. I trusted Walter to watch over her, just kidding. Our awesome neighbor girls are on spring break and kept an eye on her.
After I was done getting groceries and searching for random items I headed towards home. Halfway there it dawned on me that I still had about thirty minutes or so before Cora would wake up. So I flipped a "UE" and made my way to Apollo Burger. I was so excited to sit and eat an amazing hamburger with fatty fries and a icy Dr. Pepper all while doing nothing else. I actually had to wait for my fries to cool down. It was superb.

Fabric- I found a lady on Etsy who was selling fabric for $7 a yard. She carries Heather Bailey, Amy Butler, and a few other designers stuff that I love. So I got a little carried away and purchased some to make blankets, and nothingness with. If I had a million dollars to waste I would spend it all on fabric and paper, not to make anything with, but just to look at. After I get work things settled down I am hoping to get out my sewing machine and sew non stop for days and get caught up on all my sewing projects.
The thing I am most excited about it my Heather Bailey fabric. I am hoping to make a dress like this for Cora. If I actually make anything with this adorable fabric I will put up some pics.

A Better Blogger

I have decided it's time to become a better blogger. I have always felt that in order to post a blog I had to have a story and a picture to go with it. However one of my favorite bloggers, Whitney, does such a good job of keeping me entertained by everything from her hilarious little boy, events, stories, and nonsense. So I am taking her example and posting simply my thoughts or random tidbits. In order to get my creative juices flowing each Thursday I will post a "Thankful Thinking" post. I find myself being negative every once in awhile so instead of my original thought of "Things That Must Go" Thursday post I will be positive and post happy thoughts.
Doing this, I hope, will help me be a better writer. I have always had wishful thoughts of being a good writer. Of course it's wishful and I have absolutely no desire to be like my crazy friends that get English degrees. But I simply want to write well and be able to express my thoughts. So here I go, bettering myself and my blog.

California

We spent last week in Northern California for a wedding and a funeral. Talk about an emotional weekend. It was a very very good week though. And it made me want to live in California even more. We flew into Oakland and spent Tuesday night and Wednesday day in Pleasanton with our good friends JT and Becky Thomas. They lost their sweet little girl Adele Lynn to a terrible virus after 72 days. We attended the funeral on Wednesday and felt the sweet spirit of the Thomas and Proctor family.
After the funeral we decided it would be fun to surprise Pete's family and drive down to Clovis. It was a beautiful drive. Green rolling hills with goats and sheep grazing. It was amazing. We were able to pull off a few good surprises with the family and had a good time hanging out. On Thursday morning we headed off to Woodward Park and had lunch and took some great pictures. Here are just a few;

We returned back to Pleasanton on Thursday night and woke up early to spend the day in San Fransisco. It is such a cool atmosphere and is a great place for people watching. We walked along the piers and did some shopping. It was a great time and a great day.As you can see Cora was enjoying herself. And yes she is in her pajamas. When we got out of the car I realized I left her whole outfit in the dryer. I was so bummed. But I don't think she noticed :)
Saturday was spent in Sacramento for Gloriana's wedding. She was a beautiful bride and it was a perfect day. I will post pictures of those shortly.

First Egg


Josephson Easter

In the Josephson household the Annual Easter Egg Hunt is a HUGE deal. It's not just your average egg hunt. My mom decided to make the holiday appealing to all ages of her kids and grandkids and created the Hunt of all Hunts.
The lawn is covered with boxes of cereal, 6-packs of soda, bags of chips, and all sorts of candy. It's great and each year it gets better. My brother Mitch is the one that counts down the days. You know the scene on The Office where Temp starts the fire and Michael runs out knocking over the women? Well that is Mitch. He knocks over his old daughters to get to the good stuff first. This year was no different. Here is what Pete captured on camera;

I turned my head for a second to retrieve my favorite Good and Plenty's and missed exactly what happened. But I am sure Chad stole something from Mitch and the fight began.



















From the look of it I would say Mitch was defeated.

You Asked For It

My friend Caitlyn told me I am a terrible blogger. Well she asked for it, here's a blog;
Haa haa, I kid I kid.
