I'm obsessed with Newman's Own Chocolate Bars - 54% Cocoa.  I don't know why...I just am.  You can imagine my anxiety when the Whole Foods at SouthPark not only didn't have any but had taken their placard away.  

I sent an email to Whole Foods.  Then, I sent an email to Newman's Own.  Whole Foods quickly got back with a "We'll check on it".  Newman's gave me silence.  After 3 days, I contacted Newman's on Facebook.  This is what I received back.  

Tuesday

Today was equally as normal as yesterday.  Nothing exciting happened at work, well unless you count that  someone decided to scratch the word ass onto one of our elevator doors.  Who does that?  We are an office park with office buildings full of office adults.  I guess some are more adult that others.  Anyway, if you think about it, what a weird thing to scratch on an elevator (or anywhere).  I mean, someone had to stand there and think, "You know what I think I'm going to do?  I think I'm going to scratch the word ass onto this elevator door." Whatever.  

Dad asked me to buy some darts for his electronic dart board so that he could play with Daniel.  The darts came today.  Dad and I played a couple of quick games.  I tried to get a picture of him throwing but, I'm trying not to make him paranoid with all of my picture taking.  

Normal Monday

I'm drawing a blank on anything creative to call this post.  Today was just a normal Monday.

Laura finally is receiving some help from the government (took almost 12 years) and she has two helpers that will switch off "babysitting" her.  I've never met these ladies and there is so much trust that you have to put in their hands.  I hope these ladies fall in love with Laura and take good care of her.  

Daniel went to "camp" today.  I asked him what he did and he said he went fishing.  Daniel has been wanting to go fishing for a long time.  He said he didn't catch any fish and "The only thing I caught was a tree".  He also went kayaking for the first time.  He told me that he and his boat mate kept trying to ram their kayak into the other kayaks.  Mom said, "Why did you do that?"  I said, "Because he's a boy".  He will go back tomorrow for some more fun.  

He talked my Mom into giving him 2 cookies a piece for Laura, his dad, and himself.  He wrote their names on the bags.

If there were a camera filming me tonight it would have been video gold.  I was texting my friend Liz when out of nowhere, a super loud pop of thunder sounded and I threw my phone in the air.  Balto was sitting beside me and he popped his head up.  Thankfully, neither of our dogs are scared of storms.  

Not 5 minutes later, I had a spoon of tomato soup almost to my lips when I saw lighting spark a tree out of the corner of my eye and immediately heard a loud POW! I jumped so fast that I threw my spoon of tomato soup onto the floor.  Unfortunately, it was onto the light colored carpet.  

The storm passed as fast as it came and we didn't get a drop of rain.  We sure do need the rain.  

Sunday Sabbath

Since I believe God created us, I believe it is super important to follow His manual which says Sunday is to be a day of rest.  I didn't say I always do it, I just said I believe it.  I did today and boy, was He right; we need a day of rest.  

The day started as a normal Sunday morning of teaching my 4 year old Sunday School class and then teaching Laura during church.  This afternoon, Kevin and Daniel came over to watch The Incredibles.  Daniel had never seen it and now that The Incredibles 2 is in movie theaters, we thought it would be a good idea for him to see the original movie first.  I asked him how it was and of course he said, "It was incredible!" The boy is both funny and predictable.   

While Kevin and Daniel watched the movie, I went to their house and sat outside with Laura.  

We had a great time sitting in the swing.  I talked to her about everything I could think of and she kept saying "Pah Gegasi".  I have no idea what that means but she said it about 500 times. Whatever it was brought joy to her heart because, as usual, she was as happy as could be.  (No, I didn't cut my hair, it is all tucked up in that hat because it was super hot outside.) 

I decided to let Mom and Dad have a day off from me taking pictures of them.  They had a great day as well.  They even sat outside in the swing while the rest of us were at my house hanging out.  

Here's hoping for a very normal week!  

Lazy Summer Saturday

Today was a super great day!  Why was it a super great day?  Because I had NOTHING planned.  I slept late (for me).  I had a lazy morning.  I watched Golden Girls.  I went and got groceries.  I played with Daniel & Laura.  I sat outside with Mom & Dad.  Scott and I took the dogs for a walk.  That was it!  That was my day.  I loved today.  

Photo Challenge - Day 30 I Did It!

I posted every day for 30 days!  I can't believe it!  Now, that doesn't meant they were interesting posts but, they were my life and there it is...

I think I'll make my first picture a picture of my very best friend.  My mom.  

I received a HUGE surprise today.
