Tsum Tsum

Has anyone ever played the Disney game Tsum Tsum? It's horribly addicting and irresistibly adorable. 

I'm sort of crazed when it comes to it. My goal? Get a Stitch and a Minnie. That's all I want. A Stitch and a Minnie. 

In honor of Mother's birthday

Here's a gem from May. 

Me: *antique car passes by* Oh look at that beautiful red car. 

Mom: I thought you said, "Look at the beautiful raccoon. 

Me: ......No. 

Piece of advice for all

Don't hit yourself on the head. Lol

Accidentally did that yesterday and now the headache won't go away. Guess that's a reminder to not be dingy, huh?

Just because I can always use this reminder myself. 

They say it gets easier in time

Sometimes that is true. 

It was 13 years ago that we lost our father and some days are better than others. 

That is definitely one of the main reasons for being so...down, quiet, not the usual self lately. July is a hard month in general but it seems to get easier yet harder as the years pass. I miss my father like crazy and it kills me that my niece and future children will never get to know their grandfather. I think about him all the time, and those are the times where I find myself lying in a ball in bed crying my eyes out. My father and I were not very close growing up and there was a lot of mixed emotions (and there still is) but he was my father and I can't help but wonder if he were still alive how different things would be right now. 

But, it happened and yes, some days are a lot better than others. I try my best to keep his memory alive and try to make him proud, no matter what. (Plus, the older I get the more I start acting like him. That's both scary and hilarious at the same time. My humor was his humor and THAT is scary. Lol) 

So, here is to you, Dad. We love you and miss you terribly but I am so grateful to have you as a guardian angel. 

(I made it through without crying! Well...the blog anyway.) 

But as my amazing cousin said to me earlier, "It's okay to cry." 

Here, have a picture post

Been feeling a bit down lately, but here are some pics that are an instant cheer up. Here is my 4th of July weekend summed up in pictures. 

This was the sky on July 4th. I think it looks patriotic, but maybe it's just me. 

Saw this cute little guy or gal on a walk yesterday. It posed long enough to take a picture and then ran off. Lol

Our town is quite small, so getting to see the fireworks in town is something special to do. Plus, it only happens every four years, so it's exciting and definitely beautiful to see. 

Fireworks always make me smile. Multi-color fireworks, even better!

And to top off the weekend, girlie girl and I spent our Sunday afternoon coloring with chalk outside. 

I am quite proud of this. It actually looks like an apple. Lol (I'm not an overly good drawer so when something is drawn and it comes out looking like what it's supposed to look like, it's a pretty big deal.) 

It isn't the end of a blog without a little Elsa. You'd swear she was my dog instead of my sister's. Lol Can't help it. She's too cute!

So this is a little late....

But Happy 4th! (It may be two days late, but better late than never, right? Haha) Hope y'all had a great and safe day. 

My weekend will be posted sometime tomorrow (later today since it's after midnight). Until then, sleep well and God bless.
