My brother kept my kids for a few days in Atlanta, and Tony and I were home.....lawd...we were like kids lol. We stayed out on some kinda date just enjoying each other lol.
We even bought an icecream cake to celebrate being child free for a few days lol
Before that, I got this:

OMgosh, I was in a panic when you locked us out. LOL. Great to have you back. You're my slice of fun in blogland and had to have my fix. Whew! Hope you find your disk, had almost the same experience at work with software but no quite so bad. Good luck w/ the moderating too, hope you don't have some creep giving you problems.

GO ADRIENNE!! Looking forward to seeing your quilt!
I made a little headway with machine quilting last week. I'd hoped to do some more today, but between the humidity and putting together the new table and trying to get organized for my Salvation Army haul in the morning, no such luck.

Nice to "see" you again, lol. My kids have been gone for 2 wks to be with their granny. They are due back any minute now. I missed the brats...although DH and I spent the 1st week "doin' it big". You and your hubby look adorable on your dates.
BTW, your card is very purty.
Posted by: Thomisia | July 17, 2009 at 08:24 PM
I hope this blows over soon because I can hardly remember to check for updates without reading in Google! Pests go away lol.
I think everyone turns into a 21 yr old again when their kids go away.
The card is really cute and creative too.

I was seriously 'bout to cry when I got locked out. Took it personally, thought you were freezing out the lurkers. I'll try not to be so creepy like that. I'm going to put my name in the mix, just so you know it's me from now on.
Posted by: Kim | July 17, 2009 at 09:41 PM
Girl, I am so glad you are back. I was just getting ready to email you. I loooooooooooove ice cream cake. You two must have been like kids in a candy store with your little vacation from the kids. I know you missed them though.
Your quilt looks great so far. I can't wait to see it finished.
Posted by: Andrea | July 17, 2009 at 10:34 PM
Oh, wow, how fun to be without kids. I know u guys were just giddy the entire time. U didn't make another one while they were gone did u? LOL!!!! I know that u enjoyed the time by yourselves but were so happy to pick them up.:-) AHHH, The joys of parenthood.

My niece was @ my mom's for the past 2 weeks...when she came back plus 1, my hubby and I were like WTH! Mom said I owed her....so this weekend we're stuck. Hubby can't walk around in his unmentionables no more!
Posted by: Maiisha | July 17, 2009 at 11:24 PM
the quilt is looking good girl!

Glad to be reading your blog again. I was trying not to panic and thought I'd wait a couple of days before e-mailing you. Did a big whoopee when it came up! Knew from FB that you had started working on your quilt; it's looking good so far; love the color combinations. Have you decided on a pattern for the machine quilting? I took a beginner's quilting class and we made a wall hanging. It was hand quilted. I didn't mind that so much because it was a portable project. A full size quilt would be a bit much to hand quilt. Can't wait to see the FO. Welcome back to those of us who love reading your blog.

Whew! I had a moment when I couldn't get your blog to show up :-O The card is gorgeous!
Your vacation wardrobe is shaping up. Your pieces are really great.
Posted by: Juli | July 18, 2009 at 09:21 AM
LOL at your cake to celebrate being child free. My own kids are supposed to spend some time with my brother in Atlanta next month. I might have to make one myself, hehe.
Posted by: Dee | July 18, 2009 at 12:18 PM
WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO! I TOTALLY know just how much fun you and the hubby are having being child free! I'm so happy y ou and your Boo got to spend that time alone.
Posted by: Neecha | July 18, 2009 at 01:56 PM
It sounds like you've been busy! That LO looks AWESOME!
I can imagine how great some kid-free time must feel to you guys!!
Posted by: Tany | July 18, 2009 at 02:59 PM
I also had a moment of panic. Glad I can read your blog now. I love your vacation wardrobe. Also, glad you had "kid free" fun.
Posted by: Dr. Z | July 18, 2009 at 04:22 PM
Check out the 2 of you, footloose & kid-free. I'm getting an ice cream cake for my birthday, I'm undecided between Baskin & Robbins or ColdStone Creamery. The quilt is coming along nicely. Love the card!.
Posted by: Nikki | July 18, 2009 at 08:29 PM
Missed your blog. Great pics of you and Tony. Love the colors in your quilt.

Gurl...ever since I got my iPhone I have been straigt behind on blogs since I rarely log in on my laptop ;) I just caught up on everything and figured I needed to when I tried to type your domain name and nothing came up!!! I was like URGH?? Haha! Yeah I need a password j.i.k :)
Saw your meltdown on FB but still don't undertand what a CS3 disk is??
Nice progress on your quilt!!
Good times on the kid free vacay! Now tell me what is going on with all the password protection, non blog tracking biz!

I thought I was being paranoid or had toxic screen breath, lol! Those seersucker shorts are fantastic! I have only a basic sewing machine, but I sure would like to try and quilt, too! As soon as I get over to America, I am going to get me a Blackberry...I am SO jealous!!!
