Slowly getting the mojo back.......

    

I'm two weeks out of radiation and I'm finally starting to feel somewhat normal again.  Of course, I'm well aware that normal is very subjective....so let's just say normal for me.

So last week was a whirlwind of activity for my normally couch prone body.   First off, I worked at Paper Tales while Michelle was on vacation.  I haven't been this excited about working since I was employed at the Dairy Dip in 1981 with "all you can eat" benefits.  That was a great job.  

Anyway, I whirled into Paper Tales on Wednesday and immediately asked for a raise, stock options and a company car.  To which Diane replied....."Did Michelle even tell you how much she was paying you?"  Me: "ummmmm....no."   After retrieving her rolled eyes from the back of her head, she sent me off to organize Pink Paislee paper.  I happily obliged spending the rest of the afternoon talking to customers, pricing glitter and staying on top of the "make and takes" for the Shop Hop (there was no way we were going to run out of those on my watch).  In short, I was in heaven. 

So, if that wasn't enough, my friend Gail and her family came down from LA for vacation. We hung out by the pool at Paradise Point Resort drinking overpriced mojitos, watching the kids swim and basically taking in every last drop of summer. 

Kids in the pool......

Yummy drinks....... 

Happy drinkers....... 

Child left on his own to eat broken tortilla chips in the sand.....

Decides it's not worth picking the dirt out of the crumbs and joins others to play in the sand instead of eating the sand.......

Happy momma and papa.......

Good food....great friends.....

Bird above us hoping great friends will drop good food.......

A perfect way.....

to end the summer......

Karin, you are a beautiful person, not only on the outside, but the inside as well. It has been almost a year that I have joined the many bloggers that have been praying for you, and following your journey. You have been poignant, courageous, and through it all...you have maintained your sweet sense of humility. I have learned so much from you this last year and have admired your strength and faith in the face of adversity. You are a beautiful lady!
Blessings~Sharon
