TEN ON THE TENTH

For weeks I have been going to join in on this fun post at 10 on the 10th at

Mer's LIFE AT 7000 FEET!

I want to post on this blog occasionally so it will STAY ALIVE, so this seems like a FUN POST for the week. In case you missed this post and this post, they were some of my most read posts on my main blog.

TEN THINGS I WANT TO DO THIS SUMMER!

1. Take a vacation with all my kids and grandkids even if its a short one. I know we vacation too much, but we make SUCH GREAT memories. (we have several fun trips planned, but none of them will be all of us together)

2. Stay on my walking program and hope by the end of the summer to see some RESULTS!

3. READ about 10 books that I HAVE STARTED and not finished...not because I did not love them, but because I bought more books and that's a PROBLEM I have.

4. GET ALL my PICTURES ORGANIZED on my LAPTOPS and learn some new tricks with a new camera I have! (but have been too lazy to read the book)

5. Have my CHRISTMAS tree schedule all set by the end of AUGUST and all my supplies organized. That will be a first, but clients are already calling for their date. IT IS MAY!

6. Stay tan (mystic tan) all summer just because I like that look so much better than white, not to mention it takes off 10 pounds.

7. Spend some time ROCKING two of my good friends new granddaughters, due this week. Also see a new baby in our family that I am aching to get my hands on. He is ADORABLE. YOU may sense a tad bit of ENVY! HOW I LOVE a BABY!

8. REDO my KITCHEN CABINETS! Just something that needs to be done!

9. PLANT BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS. I hate yard work, but I love beautiful yards. MINE IS NOT.

10. THIS is something I have no control over, BUT I WOULD LOVE to KNOW in the early summer that #4 is returning for one more year with the VIKINGS. That would really make this BLOGGER HAPPY. For those of you that don't love football, this means nothing!

In case I have not mentioned it recently, DO NOT MISS reading THIS BLOG. IT has BECOME one of my very FAVORITES. I am warning you that you will quickly become addicted.

I think for the summer I would love to interview some fun bloggers on this blog...a good way to showcase your blog, a cause, or just introduce yourself to the blog world. If you would be interested, leave it in the comments or email me at annah99@aol.com. There are so many of you I would love to get to know better.

I AM SO FULL OF RANDOM and TWO WINNERS

I had to wait until my main man PARKER was here to draw the winners. He takes his job SERIOUS....I had planned to write a post tonight but it would be SO RANDOM that you would probably never read my blog again...


My head is full of RANDOM...Also feel like I am getting a cold, which almost NEVER happens. I have Mother's Day baskets and wreaths to get ready and SOMEHOW a stack of paperwork has grown to a HUGE STACK. Have I ever told you I HATE PAPER WORK? IT is the one part of my job and business that I totally HATE. I wish I could just give my services away and never bill anyone. I love MOTHER'S DAY.... I love being a MOM and love EVEN MORE being GRAMMY.
I LOVE WATCHING AMANDA and DANA mother my little ones. THEY are two of the BEST! What great gifts they gave me in my four little men. I am writing a MOTHER'S DAY post for my other blog, but cannot seem to get it written as I cannot not see through the TEARS.

ENOUGH random...see what I mean...My mind is moving faster than I can type. So let's get to the WINNERS!

Winner of the Mayo Clinic book is Jenny Kate at Jenny Kate's Spot
Winner of Lisa Oz's book is Tanya at The Sweet Seasons

I have some more books to give away next week.....so stay tuned. And if any of you veteran bloggers could tell me how you keep up reading blogs, I would love to hear your strategy.
