What's Going On

This week has been kind of a blur.  It started out with my Twilight high.  Then just when I thought I'd be able to get back to my normal life, Ryan bought Stephenie Meyer's new book, The Host.  I was grateful that I didn't get so engrossed into it right away, like I had with Twilight.  I was able to read a little, put it down and take care of my other responsibilities, and just pick it back up when I had the chance.  About half way through though, that got harder and harder.  I finished it yesterday and I'd recommend it as well.  It's a totally different story than Twilight but still a good read. :)

Ryan's been working on our backyard.  On Thursday, he stayed home from work and tore down the shed.  I told him that all I wanted for Mother's Day is the new shed built.  He kept thinking (and I knew this was impossible) that he could actually build it all today.  Haha!  But he is starting.  We looked at sheds last night, we had already been discussing what we wanted, this was just to have final visualization before beginning, to make sure we both knew what the other had in mind.  We're good.  Both on the same page. :)  I really only expect for the floor to be finished today.  It would be nice to have the framing done, too.  But that might be a little too much to ask. lol

In the meantime, Ryan finished reading The Caspian Prince so now we're reading Twilight together.  He said he was going to read it, even if I had never read it myself.  So far we're about 4 chapters into it and he's enjoying it. :)  Maybe he wouldn't want me to announce that but it's true. lol 

Rori's really starting to love Princesses.  She loves to wear an old Belle crown.  She will then put it on anyone's head she can - including the dog, dolls, or dad...

And then she appropriately, "Aaahh"s.  She's starting to say "pretty" and "princess".  She kept stealing a Princess beach towel as I tried to fold it, she wanted to hold it and dance around with it. lol  She is, after all, a Princess herself.  So it was just a matter of time. ;)

Today is my sister's birthday... Happy Birthday, Miriam!  And tomorrow is Mother's Day... Happy Mother's Day to my mom, Ryan's moms, and all the other moms!  Guess what.  In keeping with tradition, Ryan is working tomorrow!  No joke.  This will be how many Mother's Days in a row that I've had to have "postponed"?  At least my presents are usually grander when they have to be given late. ;)  (Though, like I said, all I want this time is that shed to be finished!)  But honestly, for once, it would be really nice to have one of my days (birthday, Mother's Day, anniversary - any of them!) celebrated ON THE ACTUAL DAY!  He will be here for breakfast and I've been ordered to not get out of bed when I wake up, so at least I'll get breakfast in bed. ;)  I already bought myself lasagna, garlic bread, a bagged salad, and even dessert so I could have a nice meal without having to do much to get it. lol

And that's what's been going on around here.  :)
