I lost my wire!

the wire to my camera so I can download pics.  Blah.  Nothing fantastic is going on .  The kids started baseball, Gabby revealed she no longer likes dancing and it's HOT!


Mom is coming for a visit in June, so that shall be nice.  The kids turn 6 soon. My gawd, where does the time go!  I still need to figure out what we are going to do. Decisions on a small budget are HARD!


Running has worked it's way back into my life (I know, I know), my knee is agreeing with the longer runs, but my time is slower than slow, but I am pleased that I am out there again.


Here's a short list in my boring life that I am excited about:
1. Going to see Wicked next week
2. Just found out MUSE is coming to our little side of the world.
3. My babes are not babes anymore, they are growing way to fast.
4. It's almost SUMMER, although it could be summer now with the high temps.
5. Jack Johnson will be here in August!
6. Less than 60 days till Eclipse is at IMAX.
7. Coming up on our 8 year wedding anniversary!


Okay I am done.....

Water for Elephants!

I loved this book.  I like period pieces that make you feel like you are in that era, and Sara Gruen did just that with this book!

Was SOOOOO EXCITED to find out that a film adaptation is in the works, and even more excited that Robert Pattinson will play Jacob (Robert playing a Jacob,,hahahaha) and Resse Witherspoon will play Marlena!

The owner of this http://filmwaterforelephants.wordpress.com/ blog, twittered/tweeted ..wahtever it's called, me and told me to check it out!

So if you are a lover of this book, get thee self over there and read up on the latest news!

For someone who does not cook...

I done did good!  I won my companies first annual chili cook off. I was not even entered, untill the day before the contest.  There were not enough contestants so I figured hey, I can make Gary's chili, easy peasy!  And whooda thunk it!

I won a GC to The Red Dot Boutique and a cute trophy!

Eh that's about I all got to say!

School Fly Over!

The twins school was picked to do a flyover because of the tiltle they received 2 years in a row "NC PBS Exemplar School"  I can't really pick out my duo but they are in there somewhere!

Gim'me, Gim'me

Just thought I would share a song that is on heavy rotation on my iPod! I have a thing for the Brit bands lately. Enjoy!  Dan Black "Symphonies".

NARS anyone?

I guess I should have asked before I bought but I needed a makeup primer badly. Been reading up on all the reviews and it seems NARS is pretty well liked throughout the Blogging/Beauty world. Sephora carries so much, I was a little overwhelmed at first.

I also need an eyeshadow primer and think I am going ot try Urban Decays Eyeshadow Primer Potion.

 

Can I just say how much I love love love Kat Von D's Eyeshadows?  They are gorgeous and go on nicely.  I bought Ludwig:

And I am eyeing Beethoven:

I ordered my OPI Mad as a Hatter and Absolutely Alice last week, since ULTA is all sold out!  I have waited this long, I guess I can wait a little bit longer.

Any suggestions on great eyeshadows and primers?

I broke it!

As I was pulling everything off the walls in my downstairs bathroom for the re-do, I dropped my $2 Big Lots picture.  It was a space filler, but as I mulled over it a bit I figured out what I could do with things I already had. 

I see that Monograms are big right now, so I joined in. I bought some clearance fabric at Joann's, it's really funky and stretchy and I was gonna use it to try and make my first pillow, then I thought it would look better on my idea. 

All I had to buy was a "W".  I picked off the glue that held the glass in the frame.  Then I wrapped and glued the fabric over the glass, then assembled and glued the glass back into the frame.

While that dried, I spray painted the W black and painted it green.  I let that dry a bit, then went over the green with some more black spraypaint.

I let that set overnight, then I hot glued the W to the frame and hung it up in our Kitchen.  Simple.Easy.Cheap.
