Friday Photo

Happy Friday y'all! It was another fast week for me. And I'm totes ready for my weekend... my Tad is coming over!

So it's been COLD this week. And this weekend is going to be even colder. To the point that we may actually get a little snow on the valley floor. All I want to do is sit under blankets. And I bet Tad and I will do plenty of that. Kind of like Greenlee was doing last weekend...

She was cold and I had stuff to do so I just let her bundle up on the couch. I love that blanket. It's the comfiest thing ever. I'll be spending a lot of time with it this weekend.

Any plans for yourself?

Happy Friday!!

Good Things

No wish list, but some good things to share this morning.

We got our car!!!! Pics to come... eventually. He needs to be properly photographed.

Arthur can come home from the shop today!

I got several positive work-related comments yesterday. Had me feeling pretty good.

And hubby brought me cupcakes from his trek to So Cal. :) Cupcakes that I didn't have to bake are always welcome.

Happy Thursday friends!

Yo

No wish list today. By the time I actually sat down at my computer I was far too tired to start the process of making one.

Perhaps you would like to hear about my life?

I went roller skating. Yeah. Roller skating. And managed not to kill myself. Our PTF at school had a family skate night in the town hubby and I used to live in (and sissy and the kids still live in). So we all headed out to skate. Super fun. It was nice seeing my kids excited to see me. :)

Today hubby is FINALLY going to get the car! Unfortch this means I won't see him until I get back from church tonight. :(

Tomorrow... well, there shouldn't be anything going on. Picking up Arthur from the shop probably. Hopefully. And shelling out some serious money. :(

Soooo happy Wednesday friends. Maybe tomorrow I'll get a wish list up. I have a ton of things already favorited. :)

5 Things

It's Tuesday... hollllaaaaaa.

Don't ask me where that came from, because I really couldn't tell you. I can tell you that Blogger's little "improvements" or whatever they're wanting to call them are really annoying me. I feel like it's slowing me down or something. Anywho, that's not what we're here for today.

Over break I didn't get much accomplished. Shooting trip got rained out, car got delayed (and at this point I don't want it if it has to come from the riDONKulous dealer that we've dealt with), PLUS Arthur decided to be sick and try to die (hello shop, goodbye money). But let's look at some things that DID happen...

5 Things I Accomplished Over Break

1. My gallery wall!!! Pics to come later this week... maybe.
2. A wreath for the front door. Also possible pics to come later.
3. Set a date for hubby's birthday party.
4. A decent amount of reading for the fun of it.
5. Bought the last thing needed to recover my dining room chairs!

I'm kind of loving my house. And I'm well on my way to getting a couple rooms finished in it. Well, mostly finished. I dunno, does staining furniture need to be complete too? I suppose...

I'm going to go dream about what happens next for my house. Happy Tuesday!

Monday Coolness

Can I just tell you I was SO not ready to go to work this morning. I got tired yesterday and just didn't really recover.

So let's jump into a video that's super cute.




Happy Monday.

Friday Photo

Keepin' it simple today. Totally untouched photo from a couple weeks ago.

We had been having some amazing sunsets and there's a couple dead ends that look out on old orchards by my house. So I pulled over and got some shots. I wish this one was sharper because I'd love to hang it up. Maybe I'll attempt again when we have some more awesome skies.

Happy Friday!

Mmmmm...

Okay, so it's a bit early to be posting a picture of beer, but I didn't just drink it. Hubby drank this one. Not right now, with dinner one night.

You may notice that it's a double chocolate stout. Sam Adams makes a chocolate beer that I LOVE so hubby saw this and decided he needed to try it. I decided that he needs to save me a bottle for...

... cupcakes.

Yes, cupcakes. People have been putting Guiness into cupcakes for awhile now and I knew a chocolate stout would be amazing. So that's the project for this weekend (I think). Here's one recipe I've found so far. Now I just need to bust out my old laptop to retrieve bookmarks because I'm thinking that the vanilla bean cream cheese frosting I made for my mom's birthday would be AWESOME on these things.

Sorry if I just made you crave a cupcake. *cough*Heather*cough*

Happy Thursday.

**EDIT**

Just found this recipe in which she uses the same beer I happen to have. It appears this will be the winner.
