I'M GOING TO LOVIE'S!!!

Yes, it is so. We (Stephen Small and I) are going to visit my mom and dad (Lovie & Doc) for a few days in the fun-filled Mississippi Delta.

I'm excited to get away for a little while, feels kind of like a spring break.

And I will need a break after all the preparation it takes to go out of town.

My to-do list yesterday:


I got everything done but packing for our trip. That's first on the list this morning (after I finish this post).

The majority of my afternoon yesterday was spent making meals for Stephen Grande to eat while we're gone. I don't want my man to waste away. Hope he likes spaghetti.


For our dinner, I made beef and broccoli stir fry. I must share the recipe ASAP because I thought it was fantastic. I had a lot of anxiety as I was preparing it...wasn't sure if it was going to turn out right, but it did. And it rocked!

Over dinner, we signed life insurance papers (uggh, what a downer). We ended up laughing our way through them because I insisted on changing my weight. Stephen Grande did most of the initial work filling out all of my life details, and in doing so he guesstimated my weight to be 4 pounds heavier than I was the last time I weighed myself. I'm sure if the person filing the papers is a woman she will understand why the weight is crossed out and corrected.

Of course after dinner we watched LOST. I was thoroughly disappointed in last night's episode. I can't wait for the season to end so we can move on with our lives.


Oh...jump back to early afternoon yesterday.

I tried to get this boy to gain some composure.

And he did (briefly).


But really, he couldn't contain himself. He's too much fun!

Be back soon with news from Mississippi!
