That last post I promised I'd be back to do.....
2008-06-06 18:08:00 Interesting observation: No matter how many times you say to your husband "Pack light. We have NO room" and "the smallest bag we have..." he'll still pack enough clothes for 3 people and come out of the closet carrying a duffel bag. But after you set an example and make him feel foolish by 'thinking' out loud while you pack; "Hmm, I can wear this t-shirt and this hoodie sweatshirt again More About: Post , Back
One Cake done and One more to do the Finishing Touches On.....
2008-06-06 14:07:00 It's morning time! Wake up!! Got to sleep around 12:45 and was up at 5:20 to get the kids up for weight lifting. I would have been more than happy to go back to bed except for the fact that once I'm up, I'm up and that I knew I had to do some laundry and make some 'icing cement' and get the bows on top of the cake. I'm still debating whether to add the glitter stars to my FIL's chocolate cake More About: Cake
Big Plans for the Stimulus Check? Uh, Not so Much
2008-06-06 13:55:00 According to the IRS letter I received last week we should be getting a stimulus check pretty soon. Of course, I was actually expecting it last month, based on our social security numbers but apparently if you used Turbo Tax to do your taxes and had the filing fee's deducted from the refund, it put you in the group of people waiting for a 'paper check'. It's all good though. I mean it's not More About: Check , Plans

2008-06-05 14:59:00 Anyone between the ages of 18 and 45 probably knows what I'm talking about when I say the line; "But we were on a break!" Do you hear Ross's voice in exasperation when he was talking to Rachel?

Whipping Up a Couple Couch Cushions
2008-06-05 13:49:00 Last week I stopped in at the fabric store and fell in love with some espresso colored taffeta. I fell even harder when I saw it was on sale for 50% off. Last week I was antsy and wanted to do 'something' but I wasn't sure what. I decided to cut a couple pieces of of the taffeta fabric out and make two throw pillows for the Family Room couch.

Caution: Coffee Ahead!
2008-06-03 15:28:00 Excuse me a moment while I whine; I had just finished reading some personal stories about various soldiers killed in Iraq. I was teary eyed and rose to blow my nose and toss the tissue away, grabbing my cold coffee in the process and walking it to the kitchen to refill. I mindlessly filled my cup with one hand while moving a bag on the counter I had forgotten held some hot glue gun sticks I More About: Coffee , Ahead
Beautiful Cupcake Wrappers!
2008-06-03 14:18:00 This morning I was looking at summer cookie ideas when a link led to a link to a link and I found myself immersed in beautiful cupcake liners. Sold mostly in packages of 12 they also come in larger quantities of 50 per package for graduations, weddings and parties. The prices ran about $12.95 for a 12 pack which isn't exactly budget friendly, but they are so beautiful that for a bridal shower, More About: Beautiful
Warning: The Wachovia Scam Letter

Right now there are also scam emails going around supposedly from the IRS. Although it shouldn't have to be said, it really, actually does; Do not respond.

Everything But the Castle
2008-06-03 12:29:00 In a small town near me there is a huge church that has been converted to a large home that is for sale. Although I have no intention of actually buying it, I admit that I've often thought about and dreamed about how awesome it would be to live there. It's about as close to living in a castle as I can get, and as a typical little girl, I always wanted to live in a castle! However, when most More About: Castle

2008-06-02 13:37:00 With a yawn, I salute and begin our summer schedule. Is it awful or funny that last night my husband asked me why N was sleeping at our house and why Bianca was leaving to sleep over in a tent at a friends?

The Last Remaining IKEA Virgin

I've never been one to be in the picture... as a matter of fact you'll be hard pressed to find a photograph of me at any family gathering until I suddenly appeared around the age of 8 or 9 because before that I was hiding behind a door in a back, dark family room, too shy to come out and open Christmas gifts with the cousins and More About: Camera , Armed , Dangerous
