It's baseball season in the Dambach home.  I am posting from my hotel room down in Cape Girardeau.  I came down to spend opening weekend with Greg.  I left Mike to hold down the homefront.  I spent the afternoon bundled up in layers of clothes and blankets watching baseball.  Greg and I went to dinner after the the game.  He choose Olive Garden.  Greg went back to his apartment to study and go to bed early.  I went shopping.  I love shopping in Cape!!!  I needed to get some jeans, make-up, etc for my trip to France.  I got everything I needed at Macy's, Christopher Banks, Bath & Body, and Kohl's.  I did it all within an hour!  Everything is so close together you can get alot done in a short period of time.  I think I'm all set for my trip in 19 days!  The rest of the night will be spent in the hotel room, stamping and coloring with my Copic Markers.

Have A Great Weekend!

A Great Weekend!

A great weekend.  Friday night Mike and I went to our church's Sweetheart Banquet.  We had a great time with friends.  Saturday while Mike was at work, I went shopping in Kirkwood with Susan and Suzette.  We ate lunch at Dewey's Pizza and then hit all the hot spots in Kirkwood.  Saturday evening Greg came home with his girlfriend.  It was great to have everyone at the house Sunday, including my nephew who is home on a 2 week leave from GITMO.  Sunday evening Mike and I spent a low key evening together.  Steph went out with her boyfriend, Gus, and we went to dinner at Frailey's.  I know it's not the big romantic evening alot of people have, but it works for us.

Prayers Answered

Thank you to all who said a prayer for my sister-in-law.  We have recieved very encouraging news today!  The tumor that she has can be removed and are rarely malignant. 

I'm loving the snow!!!  It has created an opportunity for me to complete "The Cleaning of the Basement".  The storage rooms have needed to be cleaned out for about 6 months.  I keep putting it off.  I have told myself, no being artsy until the project is done!  Well this weather was just what I needed to get down there and stay down there until I'm done!

We've had some pretty upsetting news in our family.  My sister-in-law (more like a sister) has a brain tumor.  She's been suffering from dizziness and headaches for the past 4 months and was being treated for an inner ear virus.  She had an MRI and it showed the tumor on the back section of her brain.  We don't know anything else at this point.  She sees a doctor at Barnes Thurs.  We are praying for the best case scenerio.  I'm asking everyone I know to say a prayer for Angela.  Thank you.

Tomorrow... an evening in Kirkwood.  I'm going to dinner at Amici's on N. Kirkwood Rd.(aka Lindbergh).  This is one of my favorite Italian places that isn't located on the Hill.  Sandy, Cheryl, and I are going a little early and visiting the Checkered Cottage.  Some stuff I ordered came in.  It's a really cool stamping system. (I'll share more about that later.) I love that place.

Tomorrow I also need to make a Penzsey's run.  For those who have never been, it's a spice shop like nothing you've experienced!  They are located in downtown Maplewood.  They have the best spices to make Chicken Tacos and Chicken Fajitas.  I'm trying to get my menu together for our Super Bowl Party on Sunday!

Have a great day!
