Big Brother

I just got the green light today that I can climb the tallest mountain and shout to the world that we are going to be Grandparents again. We are all so very excited to welcome this little one into our lives in September. Double the love of Conrad? We may burst!!! I know Katie is already dreading the hot, uncomfortable summer ahead of her, but we will spritz her with cool water and keep her comfortable and very wet :)

Packed

I am almost off to the Craft and Hobby Show in Anaheim California today. With all the changes of selling Pebbles Inc., I am traveling by myself this year. Feels different. With the economy, I believe the crowds will be down. The Pebbles Inc. booth is next to the American Craft booth and I am only needed occasionally. Most of my time will be spent digging and searching for new products for the Pebbles in my Pocket stores. It is a long 5 days, made worthwhile by seeing friends in this industry. I am looking forward to spending time with my Aunt and cousins while I am down there.

No clothes to wear, I was relieved when my UPS package came yesterday. Clothes from Eddie Bauer that were either surprisingly big or ugly on me. Not their fault, they looked good in the catalogue. Kelsie, Abby and I ran to the Mall with our 2 hour time limit. They have a way of making shopping bearable for me as we laugh together in the dressing room. Somethings just look better on the hanger. Most things lately. They drape on the hanger. I haven't had anything really drape on me for years except for my favorite and comfortable 'nannie' clothes. I picked out a few things and they are now all packed. New Levis too, imagine that. The girls say they make my butt cheeks look better.
