Salty Mommy

so david is leading music for the teen group this week at Erma Camp , and his uncle Joe is here from colorado bringing "the word" every night. so last night we stopped by for a visit after working and i heard about some of the women who are over 60..they have a nice place to keep thier cell phones and keys and money in their BRAS!! and have no shame in digging or lifting thier shirts to find what ever they might need. so friends when does it become ok to store things in our bras?

so my friend cassy emailed me this link to radiant magazine article about two girls who are writing "good girl" chick lit and i love chick lit. so i went online to amazon and bought both books used for a whopping grand total of $6 (side note : how does anyone make money selling books? i mean i got one for $.01 plus $3 shipping) anyway...i started one yesterday and it is good so far..the authors have a long way to go to keep up with Sophia Kinsella and Jane Green but it is cute so far. I couldnt find the link she sent me but the first book is called Emily Ever After and the authors are Anne Dayton & May Vanderbilt

sorry friends i have been busy working...which is what i do in the summer. i am not tan and everyone else is...now i should prob look at this as a good thing since i have been in the sun since i was a little kid so staying out of it might help me not get skin cancer...but man does it suck to be so pail when everyone else is so tan. other then working i got to get ice cream last night it was soo good. i had peanut butter and chocolate ice cream with peanut butter cups. soooo good! some things i have noticed in cape may...skin color swim suits are the in thing so when you see a girl on the promenade and you have to do a double take to see if she is topless..she prob has on a skin tone swim suit (atleast i hope) beach umbrellas on a windy day make for great entertainment for those watching from a far. and the guy who rakes the sand in the big tractor probably has the best job in the whole town.

i am thankful for good things in my life and last night i got to talk to my dad and he always makes me smile. one great thing is he called me and his ringtone is a recording of him singing so that makes me smile before i even answer the phone. the bad thing is he called me at 1:30am and i was laying there awake trying to fall asleep. the best thing is that as soon as i said good night to my dad i fell into a deep sleep and didnt wake until this morning. i love my dad.

so i have a coca-cola addiction i am sure all of my friends know this already since my kitchen is decorated in Coca-Cola and i have been collecting it since i was little. well i also have found that i really like dr. pepper...it is pretty good. so i have been drinking a lot of caffeine and i think i am enjoying the sugar high too. tonight i actually put my crock pot to use and made flank steak, potatoes and french onion soup mix...it was pretty good and a lot better then a slice of pizza. i think i have had one too many slices of pizza even though it is really good. tomorrow i get to sleep in cause i have an employee who is opening 9-12 yippeeeeee!! i am pretty excited about that!

i am still alive...i have been really busy with my store. art & soul is doing great and we are having fun too. today we have had a lot of great customers and it has been a great summer sunshine day. david is working on a painting to try to get into the Brendan Borek Art Show and tomorrow i am heading up toward philly to pick up some pottery since our shelves are pretty bare. the fun task of paying bills is ahead of me tonight...yippee!

check out the pictures here

so tonight we had the fireworks party at art & soul and it was awesome!! i will post some pictures tomorrow...but about 1/2 way through it started to pour and there was thunder and lightnin' so everyone who came down that wasnt painting came inside and we had over 40 people in our little store. it was so cool!! i had a great time and i think everyone else did too. we even had a newly wed couple paint who are in cape may on a mini-moon!! congratulations to them!! happy 4th of july!

today is a beach day if we have ever had one so art & soul is slow...i know this week is going to be busy though so i am enjoying the break! david is at a bbq with his family and when i get done we are going to go for dessert back to the bbq! other then that i am having a pottery party on 4th of july for the fireworks and on the 3rd the fireworks are in north cape may on the 3rd if we close right at 9pm we might even make it to those. i love fireworks!
