my birthday gift from Dad & June arrived today, this gorgeous phalaenopsis (moth) orchid. it's huge! it's over 2 feet in height! i really wanted to get a shot that showed it's size but no angle did it justice. this was my favorite shot of it. i liked the angle and the light. it just looks different. i did take a more detailed shot of a bloom. it's here.

thank you June for putting so much thought into my gift. it means the world to me that you love me so much. i adore you!

and Dad... thanks for Skyping with me! it's so cool to see your face again. i miss it... a lot.

masterpiece

this is probably the best sandwich i've ever made. it is a buffalo chicken sandwich on soft French bread w/ mayo, mustard, ranch, Frank's buffalo wing sauce, sliced chicken breast, romaine lettuce, red onion, avocado and baby Swiss. it was so yum! (tomorrow is the last day of birthday week and then i'm back on plan and working out like usual.)

the boys enjoyed their sleepover w/ V. i didn't expect anything less, but i was kind of surprised to learn that they had 2 can's of Pepsi each. after their pizza dinner, Q had Jell-O w/ whipped cream and T had 10 cookies! we;re fairly strict when it comes to sweets. typically the boys don't get soda of any kind, considering how much we've spent on braces, maintaining their prefect smiles and sealants. there is one exception to that tho. usually when they are w/ their grandparents (any of the 3 sets of 'em) or at their Gran Grace's (great grandma) house. usually caffeinated soda is something i try to steer them clear of completely. the only sweets they get at home is after dinner if they have eaten all their veggies and those portions are controlled.

i think our being strict w/ it tends to make them go a lil overboard when they have the chance to, but that's typical kid stuff.

i'm kinda torn about something. tomorrow is Father's Day and the hubby swears he doesn't want or need anything. he's very clear about it- no gift.... but i wanna get him something!!! grrr.....
