Christmas Tree Shop

I ended up in the Xmas tree shop but not alone. Anna went with me while cliff shopped in peace for a new hat :{ .  I have a wicked LOVE n HATE thing going on with this store. I Love the stuff and most prices BUT HATE the crowds!!! Between Anna asking me if I was done yet and the people up my booty at every turn I was ready to pop someone in the nose by the time I got out of there lol.

BUT hey, lOOK above at what I got!!! Love my new pillows, candles and Halloween bag :}. Pillows for 6.99 :o, 6 tapers for 2.99 :o , 3 inch pillars for 1.99 :o and cool seasonal huge bags for 1.00 :O.

I'll deal with the crowds for that ;]!!

Fireflies are shmart!!!

(thanks for pinning this ria ;} )

Gonna do some running around (boring stuff,stamps etc) then play with my new things and get Anna organized for school. 

Also will throw out my BBQ grill. 300 bucks gets you a piece of poopy now a days. ALL the metal parts literally disintegrated over a couple years.Think I'm gonna do like Gram Gallo and build my own that will last foreverrrr ;].

Lemon chicken tonight and I have a BIG slice of strawberry rhubarb pie with vanilla ice cream waiting for me for dessert,mmmmm!!!

HAVE A SPEEDY STRESS FREE MONDAY!!! :} (hopefully!!!)

Babes etc

Babies are awesome! Some more then others and I got to spend some time with one amazing babe recently. My newest cuz :}.

Here is a pic of his adorable toes, lol. I wasn't sure if his mama wanted him in blog land so I took a pic of the feeties, which if you know me, I LOVE EM :}. He was a pure, smiling, sweet, joy!!!!

                                                                 

Remember the baby pups I posted a while back? Here they are getting bigger and even cuter!!!! Poop, sleep, eat and play. That's what all babies do :}!

Kids had some summer fun with their doting uncle and auntie a while back at adventure land. Good times!!!!

Bill's back in Buffalo! His new room above. Much better then last year!!

No pop today but school shopping with Anna and cliff. I am gonna sneak off to the Christmas Tree shop while she drives him crazy in the clothes stores hehehe.

Thursday

I kind of feel like its new years eve this time of year. The kids go back to school and Its Me time again. Its all up to me how I spend my time (beside the everyday house cleaning,animals and cooking stuff). Its amazing how often kids,animals and husbands etc interrupt your time all through the day. It makes it impossible to reallyyyyy delve into a project etc. BUT, I am not complaining because I do treasure my family time and daily insanity when we are all together :}.BUT, I find I am always ready for back to school as well ;]. I am in fall cleaning mode now and moving furniture around like a maniac, picking projects I want to make and siked to hopefully, please dear lord and all that's good in the universe, finish my books??????????

WE SHALL SEE??????

Oh yeah, stormy cozy, spookiness, lol.

Lovely bright moon last night!!! 

Enjoy your day everyone!!!! :}

GRAY??????

SOooo, am I color blind or is Anna????

I showed her these three Gray paint samples for her room and she said,"Those aren't gray". :{

She actually got off the computer and went into the village with friends last night, Yip, but....Holy short shorts!!!! Cliff bought them (not realizing) and As much as I do NOT like it, All the girls are wearing them like this now. Actually most girls shorts are worse!!!! Like freaking diapers,UGHHHH!!! And dont get me started on the bathing suit bottoms this season! Butt checks are sticking out all over the beach,UGHHHH!!!! She does not have a suit like that!!!! Never will if I have anything to do with it ;].

The above is some Pure Cuteness for you. LOVe her and the black babies!!!

September 2nd Anna baby goes back :} ,I'm ready,lol!

Have a great day all!!! Still throwing crap out today. Garage mans coming tomorrow ;] 

Fireplace etc

I'm thinking of painting my fireplace this color? I will also have cliff add some molding to the top by the ceiling like in the pic and maybeeeee throw the tv up there???

When I worked at a salon we did a Christmas promo contest and we made a cardboard fireplace like the above as part of our display and won first prize,yippp!

Think I'm gonna paint all Annas furniture black (her idea) and her walls a pretty purple gray. Then she can accent it all with any color she wants from here on out.(pic from pinterest)

Sorry but I'm officially IN Halloween mode,lol!!

Hehehe, I LOVE him!!!

Def making this!!!! Its done with coffee filters,shmart!!

This guy is amazingggggg!!!! Busts his ass all day, eats dinner, takes a wee nap, then hits the treadmill and lifts weights till shower and bed time, EVERYDAY!!!! He has been working 6 days a week in this shitty humid crap weather and still gets his butt downstairs to work out. AMAZINGGG!!!

Hope you all have a great day! I just came back from ace hardware. Got some huge black bags to pack bill up and for throwing out some more garbage. I need to clear out my craft area so I can get busy ;] . Oh, I made a beef stew yesterday for our dinner tonight. Cant wait to eat!!!

Some Crafty Thoughts

Got some running around today and then some school paper work and packing for Bill. He gets a bigger room at college this year (kind of a apartment to share with other guys) so I'm packing up some extras for him this year to decorate his space. Lights, art supplies,kitchen stuff,etc.

Have a great week everyone!!! :}

Feeling Artsy

Canvas and a head,makes art????

FRed likes it. See him smile.

He even got in on it

Then decided to make it edible art.

But seriously this was a old canvas that had boo boo's . I did give bill some good canvas so he can make some art for his dorm room. He is using permanent markers on the canvas which I wasn't sure was gonna work but, it is. I'll post his pic's when he is done ;].

It's that time of the year again. Got my Fall country sampler. Last years was better but I did find one thing I want to make. I'll share later :}.

What a Morning!

What beautiful weather this morning! LOVE IT! Got the ac off and the windows open (for now ;] }.

These two banana heads are really getting cozy up stairs now. This is them both looking to the kitchen where Rex is barking his head off :} .

That's all we can do. At least try :}.

Enjoy this gorgeous Saturday everyone!! 

Pastitsio etc

So cliffs bday dinner came out pretty darn good.

http://www.greekgateway.com/news/greek-pastitsio-recipe

Here is what pastitsio looks like on the inside.

The white top layer is basically butter,flour,milk,eggs,parm and nutmeg.Its called a bachemel sauce. That is why cliff loves this recipe.

I think he liked it???

This guy definitely loved it :} .

dumped my book shelf on to the dining room table the other day so i could move it. I"m trying the buffet at the back of the dining room so people can get in and out easier when at the table. Book shelf is now in living room. So far so good :}.Call me crazy but I love how the table looks with a bunch of books and crap on it,lol.

Anne saw this, just two feet deep in the water at hilton head. That is nottttt a small sand shark or the like!!! That boy looks like a good 7-8 feet long to me?? Sighhhhhhhhhhhh :{

Have a great friday everyone! Cozy movie night perhaps???

Its all about Cliff Today

I LOVE THIS GUY!!!

The above is an old saying Cliff but could have been custom made for you! You have absolutely gotten better with age my man ;] !!

Tonight I am making Cliff his fav Pastitsio (Greek baked ziti) and some yummy walnut brownies.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLIFF!!!!
