Well, another work week begins and we aren’t millionaires. Since my Mom crossed the state line and moved to South Carolina we play the lottery when we go visit her. I checked our Powerball numbers Sunday and it looks like I’ll have to keep getting up at this insane hour to go to work every…

When you’re pushing 30, married, and a homeowner, things take on a different meaning for you. Let’s take yesterday’s events for instance. J and I finally made it out of the house at around 4. I swear, no one can piss a day away better than we can. Our first stop was for dinner- yes,…

Stef got her stuff and liked it all. Yay!! I think it’s just as much fun sending a swap box as receiving. I’m always nervous waiting to see if the receiver got it and liked it. She also posted a pic of the Grow Dammit garden stakes I painted. What you can’t see in the…

Last night I came home to two more packages. First, I received my Spring Craft Swap package! Such talented ladies out there. Here’s the pic (sorry, it’s a little blurry) I received a sweet little felted bunny, a lovely pair of Crystal Charm earrings (I’m beginning to feel like the Imelda Marcos of beaded earrings!),…

Here is a picture of the earrings Hovey sent in my swap box: Click here for a close up. And I couldn’t photograph that pair without showing off all the others I’ve bought from Crystal Charm! Click here for a close up. I just love them all. They’re so pretty and feminine. Hovey does beautiful…

I’m taking part in the May Day project today. I think it’s a very interesting project. You take at least 6 pictures of what you’re doing today, ideally a picture an hour. We tend to take pictures of the “big” events in our lives, but I think the day to day events are just as…

Yesterday I met my sister and nephew out for lunch at the mall. Jake just gets bigger and cuter every time I see him. Then I finished up my Vacation swap shopping. All I have left to do is my craft, which is tres fabulous I must admit. I hope Stef likes everything! I ordered…

Sunday we pulled up the old rug in the kitchen to lay down the new one and made a gruesome discovery. While we were shopping at IKEA our kitty girls were apparently stalking and killing a poor innocent little gecko. He was flattened and missing his tail and hidden under the kitchen rug. Killers always…
