Stamping and stuff

Well, I've gotten alot accomplished as far as my convention swaps go. I'm finally working on a card front to swap with. It's a design I saw in the gallery at Splitcoast Stampers, but with the help of my Stampin Up demo group, I've tweaked it here and there and hopefully made it my own. I'll post pictures after convention.
I went to my upline's (Peggy)house yesterday morning for a stamp class she was having. Peggy has such incredible card designs, I always try to go when I'm available. It was a fun time, as always.
Yesterday I had a strange feeling all day.......I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but then it hit me out of the blue. Yesterday was Dan's 24th birthday. And I realized that it's the first of his birthdays that I didn't spend with him since he was born. Now I know, at 24 it's time.......but still, it was kinda sad for me. I still can't believe I have a 24 year old! Wow.
So today I'm here at home. Don is away on a jeep jamboree weekend. And don't you just know it, as soon as he leaves there is an issue with the pool. The hose that connects the automatic pool cleaner to the pool flew off yesterday. I can't get it back on. And the pool needs to be cleaned! So I had to call for help from our neighbor who is a pool guy. I hate admitting defeat and needing help LOL But I had to put my pride aside in the interest of clean pool water.
