Husband

Just a quick note to say how much of a helpful and amazing man my husband is. Seriously, without being cheesy, he's the yin to my yang.

Makes life a LOT easier with him around (even when it's just me...he makes it easier). He's gotten pretty handy lately. Recently he recycled the metal shelving from our closet and cut it to fit as a second shelf in our laundry room above the washer and dryer. He's just great.

Love you, babes!

P.S. our anniversary is at the end of this month! Wahoo! a year already.

Update!

So I got the dishes done but not the laundry. Who's surprised? (I don't see any hands up)

I moved all of my crafts into the spare room (hoo-rah for moi) and now have to find a little workspace I can use in there. I'll be keeping my eye on craigslist.

Sidenote: Wendy's commercial on right now...the dude in it is the main actor from Saints and Soldiers...he's moved up quickly...too bad, he's not a bad looking dude.

And here are pictures of my recipe box. They're not that good because I'm still trying to figure out my camera and all its little settings.

I shouldn't be blogging right now

And here's why:

1) Dishes: HUGE pile in the sink. At this point, I successfully unloaded the dishwasher. Loaded all the cups. Then I turned up the music and started cleaning off the counter. I have ADD.

2) Laundry: Probably 3 loads to do and about 15 to fold. I abhor folding laundry. It drives my husband crazy. His side of the room is clean for the most part. Mine? so many clothes (many of which are now too small for me @$%$^#!~@*) on the floor that I just use the pile as a makeshift night stand and toss my book on top before nodding to slumberland.

3) CRAFTS: They're everywhere. I am going to have to use the spare room as a craft room now...when the mess is starting to get to me, it's time to do something. Usually means my hubby is cringing inside everytime he looks at it.

But I've been having so much fun making things lately. A photog in cali saw one of my items on Etsy and asked if i could make a bigger box and make 30 of them for her. Heck yes I can. The cost for the materials alone is over $100, but if she's willing to pay, I'll make them. My only problem is making the seams look great. I'm going to have to piece them more together than I did the other one because of the size of the box and the size of the paper. We'll see what happens, right?

I'll post pics as soon as I have them made. They should be cute cute. Nothing else new. I made a funky glam desserts only recipe box. I'll have to post pics of those both soon.

Wii Win

Ryan finally won me over and bought a Wii. He used a huge chunk of change he got for his birthday and then I approved the other funding (i manage bills, therefore, I approve) so he could get up early Monday morning and get to Target. All said and done, it almost cost as much as his wedding band. I know.

BUT! It's so much fun. I'll admit I haven't had the overwhelming desire to hook it up while he's been at work (I've been crafty)but we had our friends over on Monday night and we played for a bit. Saddest thing is, bowling. me and bowling. I scored about the same on the game as I do at the real alley. Usually at the alley I get at least one strike. My best was a spare. Tiffany actually kicked all of us to the curb with a score over 140. Next closest was 102. me? 74. Seriously.

We had dinner with them at Fuddruckers first. I ordered a kids meal and was pleasantly surprised I couldn't finish the burger. And for only $3.25? Such a deal.

Their newborn was an angel. Thunder was quite fascinated with him as well and tried to gobble his little fingers and toes. Brenton really wasn't too thrilled about a warm wet tongue on his face and screwed up his little mouth in protest. Adorable. I want a baby, dagnabit.

My Etsy Shop is Open!

So, I've become addicted to Etsy and thought, hey, I'm crafty (many people tell me so) and recently started sewing baby bibs (see older posts) and have had a ton of fun learning this kind of thing. Next I'll try is a blanket (again).

Cheaper By The Dozen

I definitely need some help making a banner and an avatar, but I'll get there.

Keep looking to see my fun new things!

I figure it's a way to keep my hobbies funded without totally irking my hubby (who woke up extra early this morning so he could get to Target and finally buy a Wii).

"I bet this is a commercial for Ruby Tuesday."

It was for Fancifeast Cat Food. Kayleigh was really wrong.

Not much new tonight. Ryan was at work today in the morning and in the afternoon our friends Caitlyn and Chase stopped by. They've been in Brazil for the last 3 months for a study abroad/volunteer program and got back last weekend. Caitlyn was/is really good friends with Ryan's ex-girlfriend and Chase and Ryan were roommates while he and Laura dated and Chase and Caitlyn got engaged. They're cute together. They're Zim and Gir. They're graduating this week and are in town to walk and finish up a few papers.

Also, I made a most delish dish today. I really was going for green chile chicken dip, but it's tough to make without green chiles. So instead I added garlic and cheese and cooked some rice. It was so good. Basically it tasted like an extra creamy hawaiian haystacks sauce, but it was wonderful by itself over some rice and a side of maiz.

In case you haven't heard: There's a new landlord in town. Beware.

YouTube removed the video, but you can find it here. It's called The Landlord

(on a side note: it's really sad they had to make this little girl swear to make it so freaking funny)


This one is just priceless.

A few new projects i did and absolutely LOVE LOVE. (I've been crafty lately, eh?)
