time out for women

so a little over a week ago i was able to go to time out for women in abq. i haven't posted about it because i forgot to take a camera, and i was waiting to get pictures from my sister-in-law. i got to go with my mother-in-law janna and my sister-in-law jordanne. we had such a good time. it was a nice little break from the kids (especially will who has been so clingy lately.) it was so fun to see some of the old abq friends like erin, tracey, windy, laurel, courtney, dora, val, & valerie anne. i miss you guys! wish there had been more time for chatting. i really enjoyed kenneth cope and cherie call. also mary ellen edmunds was hilarious. it was a lot of fun. thanks jordanne and janna. you guys are the best!

3 fears:
1. spiders (i'm a little obsessive, i check my shoes before i put them on, shake out my clothes if they have been laying on the floor, check the shower every morning, keep my slippers on my night stand, etc.) crazy i know!

3 random surprising facts:
1. i tend to be a little ocd, i count how many pumps of lotion per leg, arm, etc. i follow the same routine to get ready for bed and ready in morning, i can barely function if i get off. poor kaylee i try and make her do the same when we get ready for school, it's all i can handle if she wants to get dressed before we eat.
2. i love cold cereal, any kind really.
3. i love art, someday i want to take up oil painting. i am lucky enough to get to teach art at kaylee's school every other fri. to the 2nd graders.
