			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We had our annual girls weekend to Chicago, and what a time we had!  We decided that we would not be driving any of our cars this year, after the last few fiascos we encountered years previous.  We looked into the  <a href="http://www.expedia.com/Thrifty-Car-Rental-Car-Rental.cZT.Travel-Guide-CarRentalCompany">thrifty car rental</a> and the train.  </p>
<p>We weighed all of the pros and cons of each, and while it would have been fun to drive in a fun car, the train won out in the long run.  We enjoyed it, and loved that the last stop of the train was a block and a half from our hotel!  Our weekend was amazing, can&#8217;t wait until next year!  We may be going to Ohio instead to celebrate one of the girls graduation college.  We then may look into renting a car and going in style!</p>
<p>The last time I was in a rental car, was when we have our family trip to Florida.  I just wish that when the car company promises you a certain vehicle that when you get to your destination and go  pick up the car, you are surprised with the one you receive.  The one we were expecting was a bigger car, and we were giving a much smaller one, that was a little difficult to fit all of our luggage in.  Not to mention the return trip to the airport!    it was great on gas, but being cramped in a tiny car with growing boys.  </p>
<p>Will these make me think twice about renting another car, nope!  If I can save the wear and tear on my own car on long car rides I will do it in a hear beat!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Its May already!!?!?!  Where has the time gone!?!  My baby only have a 16 days until he will be done with high school, Then graduation and then off to the National Guard.  I am not ready for this!  I know I have to let him grow up, but it seems like just yesterday he was a baby!  </p>
<p>There is a lot to get finished around the house for his graduation party, so I don&#8217;t think there will be lots of crafting getting done in my house.  This bums me out, but the house has to be show ready as we are going to be putting it up for sale as well!.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would love to tell the boss I am going to take the next week off, and head to the beach!  I would love to look out the <a href="http://www.pellavirginia.com/stores/virginia_beach.htm">virginia beach windows</a> and just veg!  I wonder if I can convince my doctor tomorrow that I need for him to give me a medically necessary leave from work for a few weeks?  And it would be wonderful if miraculously money would just appear in our account and we could head to said beach for some relaxtion!</p>
<p>But alas, I know this won&#8217;t happen, so it will be back to the work grind stone tomorrow and all of my time that can be spent crocheting will be spent answering the phones and scheduling appointments. The rest of my waking hours will have to be crammed with as much crocheting I can do.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My niece&#8217;s 8th birthday is fast approaching, so I need to get busy and crank out as many American Girl doll clothes that I can before her party that is this Saturday!  As well as making outfits, I have two afghans going, that one needs to be completed asap, so my cousin can figure out how to add the t-shirt quilting to the back side of it, that will be a graduation gift for my youngest.  His party is June 9th.  </p>
<p>Hopefully I can get all of these done on time!!   So I am off to crochet my heart out!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have put up a challenge to my hubby, to see who will finish our projects first!  I have some bracelets to make and he is finishing up the guitar for our nephew. Now mind you he has been &#8220;finishing up&#8221; this guitar for a while now!  With my projects, I have one bracelet to re do as I am adding a charm to it, and changing up some of the beads, and the other three will have one charm and pink beads.  I think I will be finishing up mine first, as I have a deadline of Sunday, as I need to give them to the intended girls then.</p>
<p>He on the other hand has had a deadline so many times that have come and gone its not even funny.  But if he wants to purchase the <a href="http://www.guitarcenter.com/Ableton.gc">abelton</a> software he MUST finish this guitar.   When he is done he will have so much more time to work on other projects around the house, and more time to play his guitar!</p>
<p>Let the challenge begin!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After the birth of my new cousin, I was going through all of the photo albums and was cherishing all of the memories each picture brought back.  The Hawaii pics were so much fun to look at.  I wish Christopher would have tried his hand at the <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ukuleles/mahalo">mahalo ukulele</a>.  That would have been a great photo op, especially with a grass skirt!</p>
<p>But the best album I was browsing through was his baby album.  After seeing how tiny Malachi was I had to do some comparison pics, and to just see how &#8220;big&#8221; he really was at 5 pounds!  Little Malachi is 3 pound 7.5 ounces, a little peanut, but healthy in every way!  Can&#8217;t wait to watch him grow!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I made this bracelet for myself, after seeing how expensive they were on an online site.  I ordered the charms from the site, but went and purchased all of the beads and made this one and one other for less than the price they wanted for one.  I even have enough beads left over to make another one, but not sure my mom inlaw can handle it, as we are all going through a rough time with the cancer diagnosis.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Man!  I should have contacted a <a href="http://www.carsonthorncpa.com/">raleigh cpa</a> to do our taxes!  Its taking our guy forever to do ours!  I didn&#8217;t think it would take him long this year, as we didn&#8217;t have to many complicated things to add in!  I guess I thought wrong!  At this rate, I am hoping we get them back inn time to see whether or not we owe this year.  I am hoping we don&#8217;t owe, as I so want to dip into our savings.  I need to start socking away more money, so I can have a nice little nest egg rebuilt!  Here&#8217;s hoping for a phone call this weekend saying they are done!</p>
