miscellany monday...

linking to lowercase letter's miscellany mondays!

{1} miss girly...
her basketball season came to an end last tuesday night.
unfortunantly, i have to say it wasn't a good season all the way around.
i'm just a wee bit dissappointed about some things that
happened and i've been praying about how i
need to approach and handle the situation.
{2} my parents...
they left last wednesday for the philippines to visit family and attend a reunion.
it's  now monday and i have not heard from them so i had to go on
facebook, send a message to a few relatives asking if they had arrived safely.
thankfully, my cousin replied and said they were there
safe and sound!
(bad parents! shame on them for making me worry!)

{3} taste-tasting...
sunday i attended a launch party for a product
called "eat, think, smile"
it hit lowe's foods here in charlotte last week
and we're the first city to try it!
i'm hoping to write a post all about it later this week.

and lastly...
{4} greek style yogurt...
i finally had some and i really like it!
it's suppose to be better for you yeah?
happy monday friends!

happy friday...


i think this picture fits how most of us feel on fridays!
you know like jumping for joy...
for the majority it's the last day of the work week and
everyone is just simply done and ready to enjoy the weekend
for some fun or just simply some rest & relaxation!

mine is the latter...
have a loveLee weekend friends!

19th anniversary part two...

feeling so loved and grateful for all of the
anniversary wishes and sweet comments
here and on my facebook!
*source pinterest
and grateful for the bouquet of flowers that the mr. 
surprised me with.
and since the mr. and i did not get to celebrate last night 
due to miss girly's playoff basketball game and team party dinner 
we celebrated tonight here at Ruth Chris...
(my first time dining at this fancy, schmancy restaurant)
my loveLee coworker kel-kel informed me that this week
and if you live in the area check out the link.
because each participating upscale restaurant will offer a 
3 course, prix fixe dinner menu 
for only $30 per person.

truly not bad for ...
warm bread with butter...
mixed greens with yummy dressing...
 mouthwatering prime rib
which i don't think i've had in decades...
along with creamed spinach and creamy mashed potatoes...
and lastly we each got the most scrumdidlyumtious chocolate cake 
and since it was our anniversary dinner
our sweet waitress added a trio dessert platter...
a chocolatey-fudge thingy, strawberry sorbet, and cheesecake
which we ended up taking home for the kids...
and to end this anniversary post part II...
here's a couple more pics of the mr. and me
19 years ago...
married in san francisco
the city by the bay.

happy 19 years!


19 years ago today 
we got married...
1 Corinthians 13
"Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. it is not rude,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil, but 
rejoices with the truth. it always loves, always hopes, always perserveres."
happy 19 years to us!

miscellany mondays...



Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters
happy monday!
it's been a long while but here's a little bit of randomness...

{one} pinterest...
i'm really loving this new site pinterest.  it's a virtual pinboard...a place where you can post collections of things you love and follow collections pinned by other people with great taste.  i am having a ball finding all things loveLee. you can find me here but at the moment my boards are pretty bare at the moment.

{two} snow?...
it's suppose to snow again here on tuesday.  i'm done with snow.

{three} a quote...
heard this quote tonight at life group 
"share the gospel.  use words if necessary"
-st. augustine

{four} a no, no...
i have a very big sweet tooth and
i ate too much cake that miss girly made.
{five} braces...
miss girly and my nephew who just got their braces on.
{six} braces off...
 miss bling and my niece with their perfectly straight teeth and their loveLee smiles...

and that's a miscellany monday wrap up!

oh, mr. sun...

sun..
mr. golden sun...
please shine down on me.
(a song from barney back in the days when my kids were littles)
ok, i am really tired of this cold weather...
this afternoon it got a teeny tiny bit warmer
but i am so ready for winter to be over
and looking forward to
some warmth from the sunshine...
but i gotta hang in there for another month or two
but hopefully not three!

happy hump day friends!

faith, hope, love...

a parent's worst nightmare...
missing:  Phylicia Barnes
from monroe, north carolina
she goes to the same school my kids go to and she's
been missing since December 28th and has yet to be found.
We are still hoping and praying that she'll come home.
Below is the link that,will bring you to 
America's Most Wanted Missing Children report to
give you the full story on Phylicia.
purple is phylicia's favorite color.
there are purple bows hung on every tree at school 
and every child was given a purple ribbon
to wear in honor of phylicia.

please help us find phylicia
by getting the word out...
someone out there has to know something.

phylicia...
we are keeping you in our prayers.
come home soon.

snow day monday...

i flew back in from san francisco just in time!
weather was forecasting 6-8 inches of snow which means
SNOW DAY!
no school for the kids, no school for me, and no work for Mr. L!
 snow fun all day...
i made two different filipino soups...
 arroz caldo (chicken rice soup)...
and sotanghon (chicken noodle soup)...
 mei-mei chose to stay in where it was nice and warm...
the rest played into the night until they could no longer take the cold.
