Finally finished!

We went to NYC for our 12th anniversary in 2008 and had a fantastic time. It was our first trip without the kids. We enjoyed every minute of it and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Only this time I would bring better walking shoes! I'll never forget buying shoes at midnight in Times Square. We saw so many cute shoes in the fashion district store windows for really cheap but I knew nothing would feel right on my feet so I sadly just looked and walked on by.

Today I am almost finished my scrapbook of this trip! I just need to get some more page protectors and then I am done. I love the feeling of getting something off the table and thinking about what is next. I spent about an hour cleaning off my table today. It tends to act as the catch all space for things and I'll admit I am the worst offender. I like to pile it up. And to be fair it wasn't really bad so don't think I am a hoarder! If I could find a spot for my cricut expression that would clear up a whole lot of space.

Once we get back from this upcoming vacation though I can go down to my room and have a fresh clean start. What to work on though is the next question. Too many choices Punta Cana, Nova Scotia, childhood pictures of me, and a wedding album to name a few! It can be overwhelming at times to try to pick something.

Tomorrow is a busy day with some last minute things to pick up for Princess Belle's birthday party on Saturday. And I also have to make a stop for the page protectors. If my technical advisor is reading this can you please get in touch with me as I have a question!


Just in case anyone was wondering -- my vision is fine even though I seem to be pushing the envelope - I got undu in my eyebrow!! How does one do that you are asking? The undu was coming out so fast and I was trying to remove pictures from the acid eating sandwiches (magnetic photoalbums I know you have them too!)I was trying to lift the edge of the photo and it flicked up at me. After using about 1/2 of the bottle of undu I was a little lightheaded! I figured it was a good time to stop and take a break.

I can still see!!!

I am a very lucky woman right now! I still am able to see after my accident of getting proactiv skin lightening lotion in my eye! How does a fairly intelligent woman get it in her eye you are asking yourself right!? All I can say is I put a very small amount on my finger to apply to my forehead and it just rolled off my finger into my eye. I can honestly say it was the worst pain I have ever felt! I was screaming for the husband, Rhino, to help me. The Princesses are assembled outside of the bathroom watching the crazy mother wail in pain. After telling them to get back to bed as we had everything under control - I ask Rhino am I going to go blind? After a really good flush out and lots of the eye watering I am happy to report that it is almost all better! However, the skin lightening lotion is now going in the garbage as it has hydrquinone in it and apparently that has been linked to cancer. Oh my the price of beauty.

What else have I been up to? Helping Princess Belle get over a cold and insisting that she still attend her regular ballet classes and also go to additional practice as the RAD exam is coming up very quickly. The exam is coming up in 2 weeks and she needs to still learn some things. Lots of pressure now as she has only been in ballet for 4 months.

We hosted a great early family dinner with the cousins and aunt tonight! It felt like spring today and it was a great day for a BBQ.

Off to bed now that my eye is no longer stinging! And thanks Rhino for remaining calm, cool and collected while the crazy wife was having a meltdown.
