Stamp Time Somewhere

I am beat!

Today was a really long day with the boys.....then I got to play Jeanna for a while! I took the boys over to my friend Hilary's house so they could play with her two boys and I went to another friend's house for a card swap! How FUN! I loved being able to be myself if even for just 2 hours. I got some FAB-U-LOUS cards too! I won a prize for my Thank You card - and I bet you'd like to see it too. Silly me didn't keep any of my own cards. I know - ding dong - huh? Oh well, I'll post some of my faves later.

Update on Blake - I got to see him today and he looks pretty good. The bullet that hit him in the leg broke his tibia/fibula and there are fragments of the bullet still in his calf that the doctors chose not to remove. He has a metal rod in his leg and will for the next 6 months or so. It was nice to see him and meet his wife, and I know while this recovery period may not be easy - they are going to be just fine. Thanks for your prayers.

Please pray

Earlier today one of my good friends was shot in the leg while on duty. He was following a suspect that had just opened fire in an adult night club. After the suspect crashed his car, Blake came under fire. He is in stable condition and was scheduled for surgery at my last update. Blake has been a friend of mine since he was the first responding officer when I was a victim of a take over robbery at a credit union I worked at back in 2000.  He was a hero to me then as he has been to countless other citizens of Las Vegas. He's a great guy with a great personality and I am praying for him to have a quick and strong recovery. If you can lift up a quick prayer for the same, I'm sure he could use it right now. Thanks - now I'm off to make a quick get well soon card!

Bad Blogger

I know I've been a bad blogger lately, just BUSY. Hopefully things will start to get back to normal soon. Anyhow, I just started walking again for some weight loss and I found this cool site through another site I visit regularly and being as I know that there are a "few" of us out there that are always looking for help on this topic, I thought I'd pass it along. I'd love to know what you think.

Here's another one that might be helpful - especially for busy familes.....sound familiar? Get it all together in one spot - a calender, shopping list, journal and more! I might be hooked!
