Beth and a movie

Well... tonight I was lonely... Bob was working, Morgan was headed to a local carnival then sleepover, and RJ is still away on vacation with a friend. So... I decided to go to a local 'old fashion' movie theater and see the new Moana movie. Not the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last time I go to a movie alone. But, for $5.00 how could I go wrong? 

Getting ready for the movie!

Here was the advertisement!

I love the old lady telling us to behave as she makes a mess while making cookies in her kitchen

As I was driving home I was having some trouble seeing the road clearly... I was beginning to worry that my night vision was shot... but when I got home I found this... a bulb was out. My headlights are dim to begin with so having one out...yiyi. On a positive note - at least my eyesight is still ok, haha!

A friend date!

I went out for the afternoon with a friend. We enjoyed a nice time and had a few drinks. She drove so I was able to enjoy the spirits and friendship!

Puppy Snuggles

Momma is getting puppy snuggles! They must know she needs them!

New Nails by my new nail tech

Morgan is becoming an amazing nail tech and artist! Check out my nails... it took WAY TOO LONG... but look AMAZING!! I can't wait to show them off!

Supper with the rents

Everyone else is out and about so I decided to enjoy supper my mom and dad. It was nice to have them all to myself!

Garden accomplished!

My garden was a bit of a frustration for me this year. This garden is literally on it's last legs... the wood is all falling apart, legit rotting away (because you can't use treated wood due to chemicals so untreated wood slowly rots away). The weeds were out of control also. The original plan was to buy roofing metal slates to create 2-3 foot raised beds. That was the plan for months... until the last minute when Bob decided it was too expensive and too much work. I was pretty upset and disappointed. SO... two weeks later I completed my garden from top to bottom alone, the best I could.

Step 1 - get rid of the weeds

Weeds all gone - ready for the next step!

Step 2 - put brackets on some of the wood corners to keep the boxes together (because the rotted posts weren't sturdy anymore)

Step 3 - Adding a mixture of garden soil, top soil and peet moss to spruce up the current soil

Soil all mixed in!

Step 4 - Get those veggies planted!

Yellow Squash

Eggplant and Pepper plants planted

White Eggplant and Green Bean seeds planted

Tomato plants planted

Two types of onions and beet seeds planted

Watermelon plants planted

Cucumber plants planted

Under the lattice lettuce seeds planted

On the left side carrot seeds planted

Green zucchini plants planted

Lots of seeds planted!

Snap peas, sugar peas, edamame, wax beans

Ta-da! Final garden done!

Let's hope for some good crops this year!

10am - 6:30pm 

Long day - hard work - let's hope and pray it's all worth it!

Twinsies!

 This morning Morgan and I came down dressed alike, hahaha

Girls' Night for Momma!

Went out for the first time in a long time with a 'new' group of friends from the music program.  They wanted to thank me for all my hard work in the craft fair but to me, it was just my 'job'.  It was a fun time and I am grateful for new friends!

Olympic Day

Here we go!  Olympic Day is back at Kulp!

Garden!

Finally getting the garden up and running.  I really wanted to put together a brand new garden this year with a whole new structure but with the basement project, our upcoming trip to Disney and crazy schedules between the kids, Bob, and I... there just was no time.  Hopeful next year we will have a new space!

I did plant a ton of veggies... Bob wasn't excited but this is my baby!

Plants: Lots of Tomatoes, Peas, Green Beans, Green Zucchini, Yellow Zucchini, Butternut Squash, Peppers, Cucumbers, and Eggplant 

By seed: Carrots, Beets, Edamame, Green Beans, Peas, Lima Beans, Green Onions, and Pepper

Lots pray for an abundant crop!

Take Your Child To Work - RJ Version

I got to bring RJ to school with me today for bring your child to work day!  It was fun to show him what I do!  He wasn't happy that I actually made him help me, but hey - I wasn't going to let him be on his phone the whole time... because what would the point of coming to my school with me be then?

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!  lol

Halloween fun!

Halloween - School fun followed by adult party fun!

Ballet walk

While Morgan is at ballet I take walks, and found this awesome trail about a mile from ballet.  I do get a little worried I may get lost, but hey - I'll find my way back, lol!

Surgery is a must

 So - guess there is no other choice!

Hike at ballet

It has been so nice to hike during Morgan's ballet classes!

When you see  no trail signs - yikes!

Then relief when you see your trail marked again!

Facial time = quality time

Tonight Morgan asked if she could do a facial on me, do my nails, and do my hair. Although I don’t think I’ve ever done a facial in my life... if my 14 year old daughter wants to spend time with me - I’m not saying no!!

Check it out!

Getting ready...

Here we go...

Cleaning and prepping my face!

Rolling my face... was told it helps with wrinkles

Eyebrows time!

Lip hydration now!

Time for a face mask...

Scary!

Massaging oil into my face to help hydrate

Time for my nails!

Hand massage!  Feels so good!

Moving onto my hair!

Morgan did an amazing job from my face to my nails to my hair!  I didn't realize Morgan had turned into a great cosmetologist! I guess all those tic-toc videos and whatever other videos she watches pays off!
