first day...

yes, this crazy shutter bug mom captured my guy in his uniform.  his first shift at chick-fil-a was today.  i'm glad he cooperated and appeased my obsession to capture all of these milestone moments.  he came home and said it was a good first day!   he really enjoys the people he works with and the store managers. that's a good thing!

in my home...

happy monday friends!

thank you for all of your comments.

i apologize for my lack of visiting yours but now that

i'm back at work i've been finding it hard to find time

to visit and comment.  i do hope to catch up soon.

***

we had a great 1st day of school at work today.

and boy was i tired from the busyness and it will probably 

be like this for the week.

in fact, i was so tired i almost forgot to take a picture today

and lacked creativity in being creative 

(humm...did that last phrase make sense?) 

anyhoo, when that happens i tend to take random pictures of things in my home.

you see that pottery barn phone at the end?

it's one of my all -time favorites!

funny thing is...

we don't have a landline!

it's just a decor piece that i just love.

blink of an eye...

oh, weekend why do you pass so quickly?
in the blink of an eye you're gone and
a new week begins tomorrow.
it's also the official first day of school where i work.
i have a feeling that it's gonna be a crazy and busy day.

a little bit of creole...

dinner with friends tonight at creole's.  for appetizers we had fried pickles and okra.  for our entree we had shrimp and grits, green beans and for dessert we enjoyed warm pecan pie.  i forgot to take a picture of the pie because of my excitement of getting to enjoy something sweet tonight.  of course, it was all very yummy!

charming and quaint...

i love our little downtown.  it's where i work, it's where the the town library is located, it has a few places to grab a bite to eat, and it's so charming and quaint.  today the mr. and I had a lunch date in town.  i was craving some thai food so we went to our favorite little thai restaurant.  the owner and staff are very nice and they are very quick to get your order out.  the mr. had an order of pad thai and i had yellow chicken curry and a tall glass of thai iced coffee.  oh, so yummy!

chicken sandwich...

hello friends!  well, after months of filling out job applications and waiting for that opportunity i'm happy to announce that my guy's wait is finally over.  all in one week he had 4 different employers call him and he interviewed for two and was offered a job for both places. can you guess which one he chose?  yes, he is now an employee of chick-fil-a...the original chicken sandwich.  congratulations my guy!  i know you were discouraged at times but God had a plan...just all in His time not ours.  

f.y.i...i heart chick-fil-a...i especially love their sweet tea.  it's my favorite!

i've got mail...

i was very pleasantly surprised today when i opened my mailbox 

and found a handwritten letter/card addressed to me.  yes, to me...

i don't often receive mail via snail mail these days 

so i was so uber excited to open it and enclosed was

this really sweet card...

with a handwritten note...

from a really sweet bloggy and twitter friend.

i can't even recall how we stumbled upon each other 

but i'm so glad we did.

she's a young, beautiful, sweetheart of a girl with a big heart 

for the Lord.

visit her blog you can find her  here.

emmy-lou you rock!  

thank you for taking the time to write and send me a card.

it made me smile.

scenes...

hello there.

these past few weeks have been quite busy.  school starts on monday for the local private school i work for so we are getting ready for that big day.  much to do but it's all good.

the images above are scenes from my drive today.  they were taken with my droid incredible vintage old instant camera photo option.  

love it!

oh, sweetLee roll...

our secret easy, peasy, when-we're-craving-sushi but can't afford to spend $100.00 for a party of five.  this satisfies the craving.

1st:  you'll need cooked rice sprinkled with some roasted sesame seeds (optional)

of which i don't have a picture of.

2nd: you'll need some single serve packs of nori.

(found in asian stores near you)

3rd: gold coast blue crab spread or lobster spread

 you can purchase at your local costco.

4th: some soy sauce and sriracha sauce

(found in asian stores or the asian aisles in most grocery stores)

start off with the nori, spread the lobster or crab spread, rice, then add some sriracha sauce and soy sauce.  however, if you prefer to dip in soy sauce you can do that too!  no rolling required.  just pick it up with chopsticks or your fingers! 

                          

oh, and if you wanted to get fancy you could also put some cut/sliced shrimp tempura found at your local trader joe's and costco.  we didn't have shrimp tempura on hand for tonight's rolls, hence the reason why you don't see it in the picture.  

                 

bon appetit!

goodbye weekend...

day and dusk...

hope you all had a loveLee weekend...

i can't believe it's over.

onto another week...

have a good one.

on the grill...
