My son did really well his first week of school. I’m proud of him. When I went to pick him up, he announced that he played and played a lot with his friends. Aw. So cute. Glad I got the backpack, too. He’s going to have a folder every day to bring home.

Also got mixed up on my weeks and got ahead of myself. I was thinking NEXT Tuesday was his birthday, but I’m a week early. :plain: Oh well. Better to be prepared I suppose.

MIL told me that a little girl kissed DS on the cheek. 😯 It’s already starting. Egads. I asked DS if a little did girl in fact do that and he gave me the most disgusted look on his face with a muttered “yeah”. :hehe: He also told me they sang in class today.

He was in a great mood when I picked him up, so we headed over to Target. I had to get a baby shower gift for Saturday. Spent way too much money, but you know I bought stuff for my kid too. How could I not? I told him if he was really good in the store he could have a new die cast Thomas Train character. He picked Bill & Ben. He wanted a mini-box of Goldfish, so I got that too. Then they had Thomas Train underpants, so bought some of that too. Got several items for the baby shower (I love buying baby stuff – got some booties and MAN they are so cute). Went through the checkout really fast and as I’m walking out I realize I forget to buy wrapping paper. DUH. So I will have to make another trip to a store for wrapping paper. URGH. Oh well.

Got about 4000 words done on the new contemporary. Having fun with this one. Am posting a short excerpt.

And, in case you thought I forgot… here are 10 More Things I Love

In no particular order:

Candlelight. I like scented candles and find Home Interiors are the best you can get.
Fresh flowers. And not just roses. I’d probably get them more often if I didn’t kill ‘em.
Baked goods. All of them.
Chocolate. WOO!
Scenic photos. You know – of places you’ve never been and can only imagine.
Learning something new. Expanding the brain.
Hugs. Especially unexpected ones.
A good romance novel. With unforgettable characters.
Old movies. Casablanca, Random Harvest, Gone With The Wind, The Quite Man, to name a few.
Men’s Cologne. MmMm.
