Coffee and Silhouettes

I'm still sick but feeling better.  I just wish I could breathe out of my nose.  JT and Addison have been more than helpful.  And since this is the last week of school I have nothing due so that's a relief. So while I surfed the web today in my sickly bed I found the funniest link from Pioneer Woman.  Best Week Ever did a post of 50 Photos of Basset Hounds and it's hilarious!...

Sick of Allergies

So yesterday I woke up and couldn't breathe.  I took every allergy medicine I could find and went to school.  I had to leave early because I just couldn't take the congestion and pressure anymore.  JT called in my Flonase prescription and I lied in bed for the rest of the night.  I should have know better to stay outside all day Easter Sunday.  I'm allergic to everything. The...

Happy Easter!

This one will be short because I'm exhausted.  We had a great weekend and a wonderful Easter with family.  Saturday, I had the boys paper mache easter eggs.  They turned out pretty good for the first time.  They look nothing like the pictures from the notmartha.com blog.  Hey, just to get two 11 years old boys to paper mache is pretty good.  They had a blast and made...

Egg Party for just the Girls

So last night Melissa had us girls over to decorate eggs.  We had a blast!  We had some wine, munchies, and cherry pie.   Melissa had everything for us dye, glitter, glue, stickers.  She even read Martha Stewart's website before the party for ideas.  Oh and she even made gift bags for all of us.  She went all out.  Martha would be proud.  We were also going...

Black Belt Time

So the test went well and I have almost completed 30 Easter cards.  Yes, everyone will get their Easter cards late.  :)  This weekend I need to finish a final report on the compressor I made for Audio and have to finish a take home test.  But, next week is the last week of the semester and then finals.  I have two finals but one his take home so finals week will not be that...

My favorite website: ETSY!!! -from yesterday

I have a test in 30 minutes so this won't be long.  It's Wednesday so it's my favorite things.  So my new shopping obsession is Etsy.  It's like going to all the festivals and looking at handmade goods but handmade goods all over the world.  Here's my favorite right now:  White Owl -  they make the most beautiful handmade necklaces. Check it out if you get a...

It's almost Easter

So I realized yesterday that Easter is Sunday.  This is bad because I haven't started Easter cards that should have been sent out yesterday.  I have a test Wednesday.  I only got 3 hours of sleep last night from studying.  I will be exhausted by Thursday.  I still haven't decided what I want to bake for Easter.  I have not bought egg dye so Addison can dye eggs.  And...

April Showers

Well, Spring is here in Atlanta but so are the storms. We have been having really bad storms almost every week. Last Friday, we had tornado warnings, sleet, rain, and strong winds. They have been some fallen trees but nothing that bad in my neighborhood. Our dog Emmy Lou is scared of thunder, she hides in the bath tub when she hears it. So she has been a wreck this month. Addison got a little...

Purple and Paris

So I have  a new favorite thing, it is a site called Pinterest.  It's a virtual pinboard, where I can search and pin inspirations I find on the web.  I love it because it has everything from photography to baking to fashion.  I can just type in a word and see what people have uploaded.  I can also upload pictures that I love.  Pinterest is a great way to inspire me when...

Celebrations!!!

How was your weekend?  We had a great one.  It was nice and sunny this weekend and the pollen is not so bad.  I am trying to really enjoy the Atlanta weather before it gets too hot to step outside.  I remember last summer it was too hot to even swim in the pool.  The pool water felt like bath water.  Ugh! Friday we had Charles and Michael over to celebrate Charles's...
