::welcome home

Well, we're back. The trip was fun (no pictures were taken...many apologies). We shopped, swam in the lake, bought a bunch of glass:

Well, the glass was mostly for Melinda, but I did pick up a piece kinda like that blue one in the middle. Aaron and his dad went digging for crystals. I would have gone but it was either that or shopping. Plus it was raining. All in all, we had a good time. Oh, they surprised us and celebrated my birthday along with grandma's and Leah's. So, that was sweet. I almost ate the cake there, but I was strong. Wednesday comes soon enough. I figure I'm going to get chocolate covered cashews from the best place on earth.

This week is shaping up to be a pretty nice birthday week though. Started it off with a little shopping. Got a free present from Sephora for my birthday which was cute and nice. Bought a pair of pants I intend to mutilate because capris apparently only come in lengths to hit you right below the knee. Please, find me a picture of a female wearing this where it doesn't make her look 100 lbs. heavier than she really is. If you own these types of pants, if must just be me. I'm sure Kate Moss can do it.

Oh! I forgot about showing you my bonsai trees. When I get home, I'll upload a picture for you.

Made quesadillas for dinner and watched Casino Royale. Spent the rest of the evening talking in a British accent. :) I also am a couple chapters in Surprised by Hope which is a funny read right after Things Unseen. It amused me a little. Both are excellent though.

I can't seem to pick up Madame Bovary to finish it. Maybe now...

I need to finish a book before I start another. *_*
