Friday’s letters

 

Dear Cassie:

I’m seriously IN LOVE with your Map Wall.

I want one.

I want to marry one…

I want to BE one…

 

OK. Not really, but it’s so freakin’ coolio.

 

Dear Morgan:

I’m so proud of you!  You are growing up to be such a responsible young man, full of character and strength.

Congratulations on being elected Quartermaster for you Scout Troup.  I know you will do an excellent job, and you’ll learn bunches and bunches.

Just stop growing or I’ll have to put the proverbial brick on your head.

 

Dear Halloween:20120926_193853

I normally don’t care much for you.  You are the worst holiday for this chocolate-lovin, peanut-butter-chew-freak, SUGAR FREE Momma.

But I’m kinda diggin’ you this year…  Can’t wait to show this finish this puppy up and share it with my bleeps!

 

Dear Pizza Soup:

IMG_20120926_174041You were so deliciously good.  All my boys loved you..

Just don’t tell them I made you with Ground Turkey… It’s our little secret, K?





Dear Forty:

Dern it.  We got off to such a good start!  I thought this milestone was going to be a graceful one…

Why you hauntin’ me all up in my head, now? Back off and let me enjoy this decade, yo.

 

 

Dear Bleeps:

Here we are enjoying another Friday!  I hope yours is SPECTACUTLARLY SPECTACULAR.

And if it’s not, know that I’m thinking about you.

You, my friend, are loved. ~Click to Tweet

      Your wall is out of luck. There tain’t no mo’ babies happenin’ at The Bold Abode…

      But if your wall would like to have little map babies and ship them to me, I’d be open to that!

      And, Thank you! Morgan was SO super excited and his leader said that Morgan has really grown a ton since joining the Troop! It’s been a great experience for him!

    Dear Friday Letters from Gwen – I love you. That map wall is cool. You do 40 well, don’t worry, every day is a step towards not giving a BLEEP what people think – which is WAY fun.

    Happy Friday Gwen! Tell 40 to back off and be nice. I need to try the pizza soup. My kids aren’t liking anything I’ve cooked recently.

      I will tell 40! UGH!

      Pizza Soup is good… It’s just meat and sauce and olives and cheese… YUM.

      When you are gluten free, you’ve got to get spaghetti any which way possible!

    Dear Gwen, you are awesome. Can’t wait to see your Hallowe’en escapades. Don’t let the 40 get you down. I’m two 1/2 years ahead of you and it just gets better and better.

      Oh, thank you, Jane! I’m so glad to hear it…

      I’m actually pretty stoked about my little Halloween project. Outside of Christmas, I’m not a big seasonal decorator, so it was fun doing something a little different!

    Cassie’s wall is pretty cool! Thanks so much for commenting on my post at Primitive and Proper. I really appreciate it. Thanks sharing the color you chose! I hope to get a list by color out soon and on it will be more whites.

      Ha! I read Kelly’s comment and commented back on yours. Nevertheless, thank you for commenting! So glad the post was helpful!

    Awesome job, Morgan. Awesome job, Cassie. And awesome job, Gwen. Going sugar free is so hard. Tell your friend the 40′s to behave…the 50′s are knockin’ and it’s going to be fun!

      Oh, Tina! You always are so encouraging and I really appreciate it!

      One day, and then one more, right? I’m working on being “present” so I don’t think about some of the things that are “potentially” going on right now… Worrying never helps anyone, anyway!

    Happy Friday to you G-Dawg! Congrats to Morgan – that’s awesome, and Cassie’s wall is first-mention-worthy for sure!

    My Friday was full of boob-smashing and blood drawing and fasting until my appt. at 2:00 pm. (TMI?) But after that start, there’s no where to go but up!!

      Happy Friday to you, too!

      Ugh. I got the card at my visit last week… part of what threw me into the 40′s tailspin, I think!

      Not interested in having the girls smashed, kwim? But I guess, it’s necessary!

      Can’t wait to see what you’ve been up to!
