zzzzzz and a zzzzzz and maybe another...

wow i'm tired.  


april got her surprise in the mail today, and i was happy it came at just the right time!  : )  cuz it was about 4 months late for her bday...  d'oh!  so, since she got it, i can show you what it was!  

i didn't get the frame, tho, just the sculpture & a stand for it.  sent it in a bubble envelope, so i'm glad it arrived safely!  

isabel bloom was a local artist who sculpted in concrete/cement, and her work lives on today.  i love the sculptures and have 3 turtles (from jen, mom and april!).  i also have an angel by my shelves in the livingroom, and a hugs on my desk which work gave me after daddy passed.  i gave eggs to joy, debi & sarah for easter one (or two) year(s).  there's a pineapple that i want before they retire it in december... have you ever seen her work?  well, the artists working under her inspiration, now...?  what do you think?  do you like the art or do you just see cement?  *laugh*  it's okay if you do, not everyone enjoys the same artwork!  if they did, everything would always look the same, how boring. right?  : )  

my favorite baby turtle(s - they're twins!).  : )  

marz posted a nice picture of herself wearing the seahorse i sent her.  i love gifting!!!!  love love love!  

training went well today.  some claims stuff, some vacations, some outlook stuff & other random things to do!  heh.  oh!  we went to lunch at uncle pete's, and marcie brought me some tomatoes from her garden!!  oh my heck, do you know how much i enjoy garden tomatoes?!  (we'll just say a lot and leave it at that.*laugh*)  i'm so excited to make a peanut butter & tomato sandwich, i can't even tell you!  if i remember i'll take pictures & do a menu blog on my love of PB sandwiches w/ various other ingredients.  off the top of my head i can think of - pickles, tomatoes, cheese, cream cheese, bacon.  sometimes a combination of a couple of those.  PB, cream cheese & bacon is nummy.  

along w/ a tomato for snack around 4, someone had brought in a water melon, and did you know that tomatoes & watermelon together tastes really good??  i was unaware of that fact until today.  : )  

after work, i got some groceries at the wal mart.  i really wanted fish for dinner, so got some beer battered fillets.  got a couple other generalities (milk, TP, tortillas, oh, found a cool t-shir!, soda) and then... a treat.  i deserved a treat, right?  : )  oh, it is so so so so soooooo gooooooood!  

 i could have eaten the whole package, but then i would be sick, so i saved some for later.  : )  


once home, i expected to cool off quickly (have i mentioned how much i hate our recent weather?  because seriously, i HATE it) but that didn't really happen.  til now.  i feel great now!  *laugh*  thank GOD!  i got to chat w/ linda & april for awhile, and april reminded me that BB was on, so i watched the last 20 minutes of that (boooooo to rachel & brendan, spoiled brats!).  mom called me immediately at the end to tell me she didn't really like rachel & brendan anymore.  heeeheeehee.  i've been telling her for the last couple weeks - the brigade, the brigade!  : )  


anywhoo, it's after my midnight curfew, so i guess no Born of Fire for me tonight!  but that's okay, because sleep really is beckoning!  have a great night & a thankful thursday!  *hugs*  ttfn!!
