Extra day

President's Day afforded us a three day weekend and I feel like a lot got accomplished. Work has been insanely busy and this week won't be any different. So, this weekend I was able to get a few hours of work done which will help me out this week, Keeton had a sleepover (his first ever), had lunch with the family, and then today I had a one hour massage (heavenly and much needed), filed our taxes, and even made dinner (from scratch, mind you) and baked some chocolate chip cookies. I really think just one extra day a week would really make me a more sane person!

Three Things

What three things would you grab for keeps if you could only take three (let's say a house fire or whatever). It can't be people or pets and it has to be your belongings (not the kids' stuff). I would first take our laptop because that has more information/photos than a photo album anymore. Anyone remember those? Then I'd grab our safe because presumably, that's where the important things are. Really, I would. Finally, I think I'd take a little music box that is in Keeton's room. It's a cheap plastic thing that is a bit broken, purchased in a gas station someplace. It was my Papa's and I can remember so vividly him getting it out of his master closet when we'd visit, winding it up, and letting us watch the little boy and girl dance around and finally peck each other on the lips. Just holds great memories. You?
