thankful thursday



things i am thankful for this week:


my husband who is a SUPERSTAR. for reals. russ helped me last week with all of the stupid little things in our house that really didn't need fixing before the open house, since nobody but me would notice. but he was a righteous dude and worked his butt off for me--he deserves mad props and a big fat raise. which i plan on giving him immediately, if not sooner.


speaking of open houses--here are a few photos from last thursday. one of the highlights of the night? meeting melissa, tiburon's buddy who happened to be in santa jorge for the week!! she was adorable, but i'm afraid i scared her. she ran away quickly. which most people do when they meet me for the first time. hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
we had a great crowd and i wanted to say thanks to my megan and jody and my mom for staying all night long. love you. good times.



i'm thankful for urban legends that actually work. two weeks ago i lost my i pod. then i found it--after i washed it. my bestie kamari told me that she did the same with hers, but put it in a bag of rice for a week, and then VOILA! it was cured!! i was skeptical but gave it a try. TOTALLY FIXED. who woulda thought?
and last but not least, i am grateful for bubble baths with cousins.

Bummed I missed your Yeetaw party. It looked like fun, but how could it not be with you as the hostess?!

We love Bubble baths with cousins!

Great list. The rice trick works for cell phones that are dumped in the bathtub too - just sayin.

Sad I missed the par-tay!
