Love, Lunch, and Life!!

Here I sit this beyond beautiful Saturday morning waiting for the oil to be changed in my car. It seems to be a frequent occurrence based upon my lengthy commute.  This morning was a real bitch!  I woke up around 4am with serious allergy issues - sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. I finally gave in and got up about 4:45 to make coffee.

Lo and behold there are 4 kids, including Sam, up and awake, obviously still in the throes of inebriation. It was hard to be annoyed because they were all so happy to see me. Extolling affirmations of love, each one insisted on a hug then went on at length to declare what a wonderful mother I am.  It was cute. Two of the kids lost their mother two years ago so it gives me a warm fuzzy knowing I can provide a mother figure in their lives.

Typical evening at Casa Diva!

Today following the oil change, I'm meeting up with sis-in-law to do lunch at the Cow Deli. I love that place but haven't been in a long time. Their veggie sandwich is definitely calling my name!

And sisters-in-law!!!

I've got my fingers crossed that my man is able to visit tonight. He's on the river today with a group of friends spreading the ashes of a recently departed fisherman. He's also battling a bad cold, which I'd prefer he not share, which may mean a Saturday night on my own.

The big news this week is Jordan started a new job with Swanson Bark, a company which is owned by a former boss of mine. Small world and to think a man who was my boss when I was in my early twenties is now my 21 year old son's boss is mind blowing!

Here's to everyone having a good week as I start my countdown to April 27 when I fly to Vegas for work!! One of highlights of the trip will be a tour of Zappos....yes, the shoe company!!  This diva needs some free samples!!!
