Bullets for my blabbing.

Hello lovely bloggers! How are you all??

I slack on blogger for a couple of days and now I feel like there are a gagillion posts I need to catch up on! I guess my brain was telling me I needed a break from the computer for a little while. I think we all need those breaks. ;) Now, I'm reading and trying my best to catch up with everyone. I just love reading your blogs and following a long with your daily adventures!

Jon and I have been doing a whole lot a nothin' this week. So there really isn't a whole lot to report! Plus my laptop has been acting very strange! I think it's time for a new computer.... hint, hint Jon!

• Monday and Tuesday Jon had softball at the base and of course I went a long to cheer! They've been doing pretty good. Next week is the last week of the softball season and there will be tournaments all next weekend. I'm not going to lie, I will be glad when the season is over (and so will Jon) so that we can have our evenings back.

• I got two of the three books I ordered on Amazon for our trip to Italy in September. My parents are coming down and we're planning a week long trip to see Rome, Florence and Venice. We're definitely going to pack a lot into 7 days. but I think we'll be able to see everything we're wanting to see. Jon and I love Rick Steve's books so I bought three books, one for each individual city. There's so much to see and do and we think RS covers it really well.

• We get to hang out with this guy all weekend while his parents are in Greece!

He stayed the night with us last night and will be here until Tuesday morning. Ellie is such a good boy.

• Depending on the weather we are planning a day trip to a nearby city called Limburg. It is about 40 minutes away from our house. I really hope it's nice on Saturday, because it's just no fun to be stuck inside during the weekend because of rain. (The forecast calls for rain the rest of this week and all weekend)
  

• Sunday I am taking pictures for a couple of our friends and their new arrival, Addison!I have never done anything like this before, and I am really excited to see how it goes. I think it will be a lot of fun, and of course Addie being the gorgeous baby she is, will make my pictures look fantastic. Let's hope for a clear day with no rain!!

• We've been watching LOTS of Sopranos. I just LOVE this show and cannot get enough of it! I really am getting sad, because we are quickly coming to the end of the show. I'm the kind of person that doesn't want good things to end so I drag them out as long as possible. Does anyone else do this?? If I find a good series or a good book, I try not to watch/read it SOOO quickly because I don't want it to be over.

• Also, I thought I'd share a recipe with ya'll. My mom used to make this EVERY summer and it is to die for. Well that is if you're a vinegar loving and cucumber loving person. She just called it Cucumber Salad. It is soooooooo tasty, my mouth is actually watering as I'm thinking about it. Here's the scoop:

You mix white vinegar and water: equal parts.

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup vinegar
pepper to taste
Two small cucumbers or 1 large
1/2 small onion sliced thin
Also add a spoon full of sugar.
If it's too much vinegar for you, just add more water.

Place all ingredients into a large bowl. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and tada!
This is SOOO good and definitely yummy for a hot summers day.
Hope you enjoy!

Have a happy Friday! and a wonderful weekend! I'll be back with my regular update on Monday. It's time to enjoy the weekend and I hope you all do the same.
