mmmm.....watermelon....sorry I am eating watermelon as I am writing this....

Did a lot of shopping today....spent way too much money and now I am regretting it. -

-I bought a new bedspread and shams.....quilt
-got my husband a new pair of shorts...he needed some and I recently got a whole bunch of clothes
-groceries
-paid car insurance
-and garaged saled

I hate dropping so much money in one day when payday is a whole week away.

Tomorrow I have a ladies guild meeting to plan the May breakfast and then my husband and I plan to organize the basement...long overdue....next week is our city 'spring clean' week which means they will pick up a lot of stuff that they don't normally pick up.

I also stopped at the video store and rented like 4 movies...hope I got some good ones!!!!

Wind Storm

Holy Wind Batman....OMG....

It has been a long time since it was this windy in my area.....I am not a petite girl and it almost took me away!!!! Is Mary Popins coming??????

Invented Dinner

I actually was way to lazy to go to the store today (I had the day off)

(I actually can't say I was lazy...I did clean the house top to bottom and scrapbooked....I just really did not want to go to the grocery store)

So...I tried to invent a new recipe:

4 parts: noodles, steak, veggies, and sauce

I boiled whole wheat rotini noodles, then I grilled some steak and sliced it into little chunks, and then tossed it with some sauce.

Sauce-1/2 bottle of Kraft Asian sesame salad dressing, some soy sauce, salt, pepper.

I then added some mixed vegetable (It was actually a bag of stirfry veggies)

It was pretty good!

Style Show/Tea

My Ladies group is having a fundraiser today and yesterday was 'set-up' day and I just wanted to share a few picks for set-up. The fundraiser is a style show/tea party....a store is offering for us to model some spring fashion (I am one of the models) (we get 40% off at the store for modeling) and also there will be tea and finger sandwiches and cookies at the event. Everyone volunteered to decorate a table and here is my table:

The following pictures of other people's table. Some people went with a theme (I didn't) one was a luau, birthday party, Christmas, Easter, lilacs, patriotic, etc etc.

Happy Birthday!

I would like to wish a very Happy 2nd Birthday to......

THIS GUY!!!!!

Happy Birthday Huckleberry!

Mommy (Me) made him a cake and let him lick the spatula


(Don't worry, I washed it very well with very hot water)

Cake Before Frosting
It is a Peanut Butter Doggie Delight carrot cake

The 'frosting' is cottage cheese and that is shredded carrot for decoration.

(I never lit the candles....it is just for the picture)

If you notice the piece missing....my husband and I tried it before he ate it....it was good....it is really just a regular cake but instead of sugar, honey was used to sweeten it. It had peanut and shredded carrot in it.

His strategy was to lick all the frosting off before he ate the cake (isn't that just like a human 2 year old?)

He really did gobble it up....it was gone in less than 2 minutes....hehehe

I just googled the recipe.....

Blog in my Dream

My blog was actually in my dream last night. I am not going to go into the whole dream, but basically I dreamt that I logged onto my blog and in one day got 150 new followers. Looking at my followers list, that was not true...hehehe.

I don't know why, but my baby fever is really bad today...:( I have thought about it every second of the entire day. I can not explain why it is so bad today?

Inside Secrets

Sometimes it is fun to know inside secrets.

A friend of ours brother and his 'fiancee' (I will tell you why I put fiance in quotes in a second) are both my friends on facebook. Well she posts her statuses all day long. Her posts are always about her upcoming wedding. Things like: only 84 days until I marry the love of my life....or.....can't wait to be Mrs. X....or.....got my wedding dress fitted, etc etc. Well the inside secret is that they went to the court house and got married back in October 2009....so they are already married and this is more of a vow renewal than a wedding. (I am not saying anything bad about this.....I am just talking about inside secrets) Only like 4 people know they are already married and I am one of them.

hehe shhhhh....

Oops

I went to see the movie "Date Night" today. I was buying some popcorn and soda and after I paid I lifted my purse off of the counter and then as I swung it around to my arm I hit a straw dispenser and the straws (100's of them) and the metal dispenser went flying in the air and all over the ground....I was so embarrassed. The good thing though is I went to a 2:15 show and I arrived way before my friend....and we went to a small town theater so the only people who saw me do it was 2 employees and myself. Thank goodness I was the only one at the snack bar at that time......

Dear Neighbor two doors down,

Maybe if you took the time one day to fix the hole in your fence, your dog might not escape everyday and run barking around the neighborhood for an hour or more. Then, you have to come out and yell, " Peanut, Peanut!" everyday....apparently the brick you set by the hole is not working.....if you were to take one hour on a Sunday afternoon to fix it....you might find that you save hours upon hours everyday searching and screaming for your dog.....just a suggestion.

Your Friendly Neighbor,
