~Its Almost Time~

Well, the Fourth of July is just right around the corner... I love the Fourth for many reasons.  So, its a Fun Fun time for me.  We are planning on having a BBQ at my house with Family and Friends.  Swimming, Food and Fireworks... Oh I can't wait!!

So, I'm sure you all were expecting to see pictures of Barbie and I.  Well, I guess we did Jinx things, because we weren't able to get together!!  We are so bummed!  Blame it on logistic problems and what not... Its not like Barbie didn't try to get over to here to meet me... They were just on the wrong side of the Hills to make it my way!  When she called at 445pm, she was close to Los Banos, about an hour and forty-five minutes to the South East of me... She was past our place and already in the right direction of "Home"... So, needless to say, we are trying to plan a "Next Time" already!!

Oh well... There is always, Next Time... Right??

Anywho, I finally got my books by Jennifer Weiner yesterday!  I'm really happy too, because I am just pages away from finishing the book that I am reading.  I'm kind of embarrassed to say what book I'm reading, because I literally took it over from Derek.  See, he wanted to read this book, an Autobiography, by a certain Woman.  Okay... I'll spill...Well, its a book by Jenna Jameson, called, "How to Make Love Like A Porn Star".  Haha... Its a pretty good book, but if you are offended by vulgar language and sexual explictive writting, then I suppose it isn't for you.  I didn't mind it though.  She has had a HORRIBLE life, basically "Road Hard and Put Away Wet" type of life.  On Drugs, Off of Drugs, On and then Off again.  Stripper turned Porn Star turned Stripper and then back to Porn Star again!!  Whew, her story literally made me tired just reading it!!

I took the kiddos back to The Picture People yesterday afternoon for their Retakes!  I have a feeling that they'll turn out really good.  I didn't stick around to wait this time, but the girl took her time and made sure the kids were looking at the camera and smiling (if Zach would).  I can't wait to get to the mall this afternoon to look at them!  And I think its the best that the negatives the last time around got jacked, because these pics are going to be way better and I'm getting a FREE pose!!  That is an 8x10, two 5x7's and a page of Wallets!!  Thats a whole lot of pictures :)

Well, I know this is short and sweet, but because I wasn't at work yesterday I have much to do.  I hope everyone has a Wonderful Day... Much Love to You All!

Everytime I see you write Jennifer Weiner I have to chuckle!  Sorry, you will understand one day now that you have a little boy, when you say anything like "Weiner" it gets them in a fit of giggles!  Good nighttime reading you are doing there, ummm, Jennifer!  Learn any new tricks?  LOL!!!!  Bet hubby couldn't WAIT for you to take this book over from him!  ;)
Hugs and love, Lisa
P.S.:  Glad to hear that the pictures went better this time.  Can't wait to see them!!!!

Good for you for taking the little ones back for retakes!  We're palnning on a small private bbq- swim at the pool inbetween rain and trip to the riverwalk in our downtown area for the fireworks.  It should be a fun filled day!  Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday.  I remember Nicholas threw up on me all over my sundress on his first 4th of July so maybe you'll want ear muffs for little man during the fireworks... Funny, that's what my mom always called Nick when he was just a toddler.  Hugs,
Lisa

Awhhh I'm sorry you and Barbie didn't get to meet.  Like you said though, there's always next time.  

Hmmm sounds like a good book that you're reading ;)

I guess having the negatives ruined wasn't such a bad thing after all.  I'm glad things worked out for the better on this one!
