Spring Break...

My daughter starts spring break on Friday afternoon. No school all next week. We are headed to Utah to see my sister for a few days. Most people are headed to warmer climates but we will see the hot, hot weather before you know it. So we are hoping for some snow. I am sure lots of you think we're crazy and I am sure I would feel the same way if we had been snowed in all winter.

While I am gone I will likely not be blogging much, if at all. I will have my laptop with me but I am guessing I won't be using it too much. At least I hope not. I guess if it snows TOO much I might use it more.

This morning I was reading my Rachael Ray magazine before Little Miss went to school and noticed a recipe for Nachos. I thought that would be fun to have for dinner one night (not the specific recipe I was looking at, just regular old nachos). So I mentioned this to Little Miss to see if she would like them - I told her we could put ground beef or chicken on them with cheese, onions, tomatoes & sour cream. She replies, 'I want them like we have at school- just chips & cheese.' For those of you without school age kids that dine in the cafeteria that would be chips & cheese whiz. Yum. On second thought maybe we'll pass on the 'nachos'...

Gotta love the school lunches.. My smart alec 6th grader calls it "government food" and thankfully will only eat what his mom packs in a brown paper bag. Now hes got his Kindergartener bro doing the same thing. I give the schools a great big ginormous HA HA to all the healthy meals. Gimme a break. open box, throw in microwave, just is not what I deem healthy, not like what Im making is the epitome of health, but....
okay enought about that.
Thanks for the comment on the state of affairs of our dear old USA, I totally agree, and dont worry about offending anyone! I have had it up to my eyeballs in the "new regieme"
Have an awesome trip to the snow!

My Favorite Things....

Join Melissa @ 320 Sycamore for her My Favorite Things party. Here are my favorite things: David Cook. The CD. Still lovin' it. Listen to it a lot. It's good. Very good. Philosophy Lip Gloss. I have the melon daiquiri flavor and love it. It's shiny AND stays on. Tastes good, too. About $12. Electric Pepper Mill. How did I live without this? Really. You can find one like this at Crate & Barrel for about $40 or so. Peets Coffee . I talk about Starbucks a lot because we don't have a Peets here. It's really the best in my opinion. Luckily you can find it in the grocery store for about $14/lb -or less when it's on sale. You know that's when I buy it! :) Measuring cups. I have these from Williams-Sonoma. I love them. I think it's my favorite thing in my kitchen. At least one of them. And one I use almost daily. It took a while for me to break down and buy them but I have to admit that it's the best $30 I have ever spent. When Little Miss moves us

Changes...

I posted some photos of my living room a while back. I realized how blah and boring it looks. I appreciate the suggestions I was given. One of them was 'paint'. We had the walls painted a couple years ago so I really didn't want to do it again just yet so I had to figure what else I could do to get some color in there. I thought about painting a canvas red to match the chair ( below). After talking to my sister she suggested dipping cool whip containers in paint to make the circles and an idea was born. I bought the 3 canvases (20" X 20") at Michaels at 50% off - the three cost $21. I got a quart of paint at Lowe's ($12 - Martha Stewart's Cranberry something or the other). The blue paint was a sample size of Olympic that someone didn't buy -$1. Cool whip container and little round container I had in the kitchen - free. Fleur de lis printed off computer, traced on canvas and painted - free. So for $34 I got this new look. Very David Bro

Monday, Monday...

Monday's are usually my favorite days. Everyone is back to work and school and I have the morning to gather my thoughts and eat a leisurely breakfast before starting my day. My friend, E, who I carpool with has her husband take the kids to school since he is off on Mondays. Today, however, has been a bit odd. We had a new dishwasher delivered this morning and my husband uninstalled the old one last night. This morning I wake up to a leak in one of the dishwasher hoses - thankfully just a slow leak but still an inconvenience. My husband had to come home and semi-install the new dishwasher to stop the leak. I have been washing the dishes in the wet bar sink instead of the kitchen sink since something is turned off there and the hubby said not to use it until the new dishwasher is totally installed. I am thankful to have a wet bar sink and not have to resort to washing the dishes in the bathroom - something I am sure we've all had to do at one time. I have some things in t
