Joining up to Jen's highs & lows par-tay.

HIGHS
~Got a belated birthday card in the mail from my sis-in-law...with a $50 AmEx gift card. Yay!
~Discovered Pioneer Woman & her recipes. Seriously?! How have I lived without knowing about her food...! Eesh.
~After our "vacation" last week (all 14 hours of it), we found & booked a new place to stay. I think it looks nice, cozy, and CLEAN. See?
LOWS
~My 5 day vacation became 14 measly hours due to--well, you can read about it here, if you've not yet had the pleasure. Have popcorn ready.
~Ants took over my pantry. All of the food is on a folding table in the kitchen while we kill the little you-know-whats. It stinks. Why does bug spray have to smell so bad?
~My dad's father died on Saturday. My parents had left Thursday for their first vacation in 6 years (since my grandmother, rest her soul, got sick)...and ended up coming home Friday night. He passed on Saturday at home. I was not really close to him at all; but still, he was my dad's father and I'm sad for my daddy. This makes the 3rd death in our families (mine & hubby's) since June 14. It's really taking a toll.
