I've got a pocket full of sunshine.

Reality check...when you get back from a wonderful weekend and come home you expect life to be as wonderful as it was on vacation...NOT! Hahaha! Bills are still there, still have to yell at my kids, still have a messy ass desk that I need to clean. BLAH! I will admit I am not a big gambler. In fact its pretty depressing. Kind of boring. My husband made it all worth it. He was the sweetest the whole time. It was like when we were first together. That made the trip so special. I didn't get ANY good pics.

Driving thru the mountains to get to Reno was wonderful. It reminded me so much of the happy things in my childhood. Sometimes as adults we lose sight of them. They tend to overshadow and take over our brains. It was nice to actually find some happiness in trips with my father and his many girlfriends. My dad wanted to be a mountain man and so when and if I saw him he was taking me to Sonora/Jamestown or Knights Ferry. I was telling my hubby about my aunt living on the side of a canyon and how neat it was. He didn't seem to understand the magnitude of it and I realized he is a city boy all the way. He hadn't been camping until I took him. I felt a little sad for him and told him so. He was fine with it. I guess if you weren't subject to it then there is nothing to miss.

Back to the surgery...I felt crappy pretty much 85% of the time due to this damn surgery. I was telling my husband I had more energy being a big girl. That's one of the main reasons I got this surgery to have more energy. I'm hoping it changes soon. It HAS only been a month.(For those of you who have asked about the blog, well I haven't started it yet. I will be doing that either tonight or tmw and then post the link in the next post. You wont have access until you email me. I know some have so Ill be getting that all taken care of soon.)

I have a giveaway to share! We are giving away a set of the fab papers by Kim Smith. They were in the RVK this month and are super wonderful. I am having so much fun playing with them. If you didn't get a kit and would like the papers leave me a comment and Ill pick a winner. Rachel will send you 2 sets of the collection! (You can also buy the collection here.)
