A Date Has Been Set — June 11th

At the request of my 4-year-old niece, Kayla, June 11th has been officially named Auntie Gemma Day!!

Okay, perhaps “officially” isn’t the right word yet. Who would I need to call, though? Hallmark?

Last Tuesday, my sister-in-law reminded Kayla that Father’s Day was coming up.

“Kayla, are you going to make a card for Daddy since it’s Father’s Day?”

“Okay, but Mommy… how come there is a Mommy’s Day and a Daddy’s Day, but no Auntie Gemma day?”

So when Carol was sharing this story with me on Wednesday, I asked Kayla when she thought Auntie Gemma day should be. She responded, “Today!!”… and so began the tradition of Auntie Gemma Day.

I have to admit, I think it would be will be the greatest holiday in the world!

I’ve Got A Bug.

I’m not sure what it is… maybe a stomach flu or something? I’ve been feeling pretty nauseous the last few days and it decided to hit me full-force last night. Not a pretty sight.

The worst part is probably that I have to cook quite a bit for our Mother’s Day celebration tomorrow. I hate cooking when I can’t eat! Hopefully this is a 24-hour bug and will be gone in time for the festivities. Mmmm… tacos, prime rib, cake… I will be so bummed if I can’t enjoy everything tomorrow.

OKAY — so PDX Fashionista (blog) tagged me to do a meme!

The Rules:
1.) Answer the Question.
2.) Tag people.

If a Genie arrived one day and told you: “You have 3 wishes… use them wisely.”
What would you wish for?

1.) I would wish for contentment for EVERYONE — meaning that we’re either given everything in life that would make us happy OR that we all become happy with everything we have in life.

2.) I would wish for 10 hours of sleep every night… or, at least, to feel like I’d had 10 hours of sleep every morning I wake up.

3.) I would wish for faster metabolism. Ha!

Now… I tag everyone. Enjoy!
