Rainy 4th of July

Leigh and I spent most of the day at home. We had planned on going fishing at the beach,so we purchased our fishing licenses. However, we ate dinner at a nice seafood restaurant and then took a detour after seeing the usually secluded beach area riddled with tons of people.When we arrived home, Leigh found this lil' reptile hiding in our trash can. So I managed to catch a few photos of it.It is a Texas Spiny Lizard, and had I known that it could be kept in a terrarium, this reptilian would have been our pet. However, I don't know how I would have caught it since the site http://www.wikihow.com/Care-for-a-Texas-Spiny-Lizard doesn't say how to capture it. But I'll be on the lookout for them from now on!

Photos of Bruschetta Chicken Dinner

Yummy! This meal was a hit with my hubby tonight. And I loved it as well. It was tangy and fragrant, and those two characteristics make a meal more pleasant.

I saw this and it made me laugh! He's so cute!!! I wish Shak would let me dress him up like this. If I'd even try it, I'd get mauled!

Oversleeping on Saturday

After spending most of the day asleep, I finally got up at 4 p.m. shocked and disoriented. I couldn't believe that both Leigh and I fell asleep at noontime during the dvd's showing of what the keyboard is capable of doing. Leigh woke up earlier than I did, but he didn't wake me up because he said that I was sleeping soundly and that my body must have needed that extra snoozing time. Once I finally got up and ready, Leigh and I went out to eat pizza, which was going to be our breakfast/lunch/dinner all-in-one meal. (*Note: That's Leigh's meal pictured---not mine...lol! I had pizza and a salad!)

Gift from My Hubby

This gift came in yesterday, and boy I can't wait to learn how to play it!!!! I am reading Piano for Dummies, and I also have the eMedia Piano and Keyboard Basics software. Now I just need to fight Leigh off of the bench...lol!

After staying up super late last night (as noted in our Yahoo blog), we've been trying to do our best to rest today. I'm fighting off the urge to take a much-needed nap at the moment, so I've been reading "Piano for Dummies" and have learnt a few piano notes just by reading the book already. Leigh bought me a digital piano(dp) for my upcoming bday. We finally decided My dp should be coming in the mail sometime soon, so I'm eager to learn as much as I can before it arrives. Plus, I've gone a bit mad in ordering music left and right.

I cooked Chuck Pot Roast, Boiled Potatoes, and Maple-Glazed Carrots for dinner tonight. Those two plates belong to Leigh...lol!...not really, one's mine. Hehe. Well, Friday's already here, and it truly doesn't feel like a week has passed by at all---that's the scary bit. I feel as if only a few days have passed, yet the calendar indicates otherwise. We're just now getting settled in to have a nice quiet evening at home--most likely watching television and surfing the net during commercials.
