Where have I been?

{ Longingly waiting for another post...}

So sorry for being absent over the past few days. There have been many developments since the last post. A lovely family in our 'hood was struck with tragedy when a spouse succumbed to leukemia. The young couple has been married for only a couple years, and the wife has been battling the disease since 2007. We will pay our respects to her and her widow this weekend. It has really made me love and appreciate my wonderful husband even more. I just keep thinking, how could I EVER manage my world without him? It is an easy answer: I couldn't. So needless to say the weekend wasn't off to the best start.

Saturday was a little happier. It was spent doing my 2 favorite things, cleaning and shopping. I spent a glorious 3 hours- yes 3, cleaning my master bath from tip top to bottom. I love the feeling of a clean bathroom. I scrubbed right down to the bottom of every drawer and crack. Then when my tub and tile was gleaming with delight, I headed to the stores. I have a problem with buying and then having shopper's remorse and returning. So I gave several lovelies back to their respective homes and even picked up a couple workout essentials and headed home. Mr. Grubbs and I spent a wonderful evening with the Grahams and a pizza and Netflix. We watched Vantage Point- I wouldn't recommend but the company was the main event of the evening.

SUNDAY: the icing on the cake. My Steelers, oh how I love thee. You made me worry, you made me sweat, but then you made me ecstatic!!! What a wonderful end to the weekend.
