nicole's birthday!

• the birthday celebration we had for my boss, nicole this morning. awesome cupcakes, fresh fruit, lovely sentiments about her and her hugs.
• a boss who cares about me and 'what's in it for me' and what we can, together, accomplish. that she trusts my opinions and goes with my gut as much as hers. that we can say anything and that our relationship has been elevated to a place where we don't take things personally (for the most part!).
• a much too short visit with the dority's this evening. we let the boys talk about garden stuff and we talked about what she should wear this weekend. having second parents right around the corner is such a blessing. they are the best.
• the house they wanted in another neighborhood sold!!!! i danced in her driveway and didn't even apologize for not taking her feelings into account. they belong here! they can move when we do, but only to the country with us!
• our windows are in for our new room. i'll be hanging drywall for a memorial day weekend move in! wow. how exciting!
• yet again my man cooking dinner of homegrown collards, corn and venison cheeseburgers!
• david totally using his rain day to our advantage and getting mother's day gifts handled for sunday and asking me if he needed to take care of chris, too.
• rain rain rain rain rain rain. much much much much needed rain finally coming down. our yard and garden thank you tropical storm andrea.
• paris hilton ending her ridiculous pleas to get out of serving jail time. we would all do it and lose a lot in the process. she's finally agreeing to suck it up - good for you, paris! (of course there will be an appeal. . . .)
• you, my little collard green, you!
