Bless Your Heart

memorial day

husband and i were both off yesterday- a rare treat indeed to both be off on a holiday. so we lounged about watching some of the trading spaces marathon. i got to see a couple that i haven’t seen yet so that was cool. i didn’t get to watch any episode in it’s entirety because i was also cleaning the house at the same time. but i did get to see the one where hildi split a living room up into 4 quadrants and painted it all magenta & silver. the fireplace was way cool but the rooms were just over the top for real life. they seemed to match the homeowners though. i was cracking up at the one couple that was made up of little squealy man and amazon lady. she was probably normal sized but he was a kewpie doll so it made her look like the 50 foot woman next to him. when standing side by side he came up to her chest! more power to her- i just couldn’t marry such a tiny man.

later in the day my mom, hale & morgan came over for a cook- out. yummy steaks & shrimp on the grill and i made corn on the cob, baked brie & strawberry & blueberry salads. mmmmm. sam came over too (mom’s dog) so it was a madhouse with 2 cats & 2 dogs. plus hale yelling at the red wings game on tv. they lost by the way. =( but they’ll come back tomorrow and win.

cute sighting of the day: mom put fake lily pads & flowers in our pond a couple of months ago and yesterday i spotted a real frog hanging out on one. so cute! we have a couple of frogs in the pond now, i hope they are fruitful and multiply– natural mosquito eaters! woohoo!
