Not Me Monday - 33rd Edition

What? It's Monday already? Oh bother! That means that my mom will confess all the embarrassing things that happened around here in the past week. Maybe if I give her my best smile she won't remember to write about how insane my hair was. So far so good! Only one more picture to go and I'm in the clear.... Phew! I made it! Who would write a Not Me post without any Not Me's? Not me ! Photobucket" border="0">

Bonus!

Some more wedding pictures that I forgot to post the first time.... Sarah and I after the ceremony... It brought back memories of a gondola ride Sarah and I took in Switzerland as they ascended the ski hill for a champaign toast with their guests. Before all the wedding festivities began, Rhonda, Ella, and I chilled in the hotel room. Next time I'm in Madison I'll be staying at this same hotel. It was wonderful and a bargain! A suite for $74! Have you ever heard of such a thing? We had a kitchen, pull out couch, recliner, work area, a nice bathroom, and the BEST part - we were across the parking lot from my two favorite restaurants - Panera and Biaggis . Yum! Eventually I'll get to posting some of the other 700 pictures I took over Memorial Day weekend. You don't think I neglected to take pictures of the kids in their Red White and Blue do you? And then there's the sweet story of Sam praying for our men and women in the military.... But first I'm going t

I went to Wisconsin and got pulled over by a state trooper

I also got to hang out with my childhood friend, Rhonda and her daughter, Ella.... (collages are easier to see if you click on them.... ) I got to witness the wedding ceremony of my college roommate, Sarah and her new husband, Greg... I got to catch up with friends from college who I hadn't seen in 10 years. I don't know if Julie or Jessica will ever see this, but Abby (in the middle there) will. Turns out she has been blogging about as long as I have. Who knew! My circle of in-real-life blogger friends is small - I couldn't be happier that I can add Abby to that circle! (Abby posted wedding photos on her site as well if you want to see more of Sarah and Greg's beautiful ceremony location and wedding party/guests.) Oh, and that little incident with the state trooper? Apparently they don't like it when you leave your brights on constantly. (My headlights need some major adjusting and since nobody has ever flashed their lights at me I figured even my brights were

Alphabitty Moments - the letter N

It's time for Alphabitty Moments! This week is brought to you by the letter N... I knew almost instantly that I wanted to use Nursery for my N word this week. It fits the theme of Alphabitty Moments perfectly IMO. As an added bonus it allows me to show the kids what their first home looked like - or at least their first ever bedrooms in our old house. Want to see more of our last house? Click here for a tour. PapaBear picked out the bedding for Sam's nursery. I still love it. In fact we painted his room at this house the same color and use the same curtains. It's a Noah's Ark theme, but you'd have to look really close at the quilt to notice. A few other observations from Sam's room: * This is the room we were in when I told PapaBear I was pregnant with Julia * The toy box under the window was built by my parents/grandparents for me when I was a kid. * The doll on the toy box is similar to the one I talk about in this post* . Sam doesn't care for it, but
