- I'm trying to keep my smile on my face, really I am. I am trying to be a happier person, really, I am. I am trying to keep my frown from turning upside down, really, I am. My positive attitude has been lost somewhere inside of me, and I'm working on it.
- Eric made some bread pudding this week, and WOW, it's so good.
- I am falling increasingly in love with the Protein plate from Starbucks, I can almost NOT resist buying it for breakfast.
- Why do I keep talking about food? Oh ... because I LOVE it - and I have started working out again. Which is slowly but surely coming along.
- Aquaman and Gracie are the best pets in the universe. Gracie is coming around in leaps and bounds and she is making me incredibly happy - and my dog is so cute, let's just face it.
- ROLLERDERBY ROCKS MY WORLD - I am waiting on two books (and one documentary) to come in to the Des Moines Library so I can read up! I'm psyched!
- Mom is having a decent week - that makes me smile.
- My new phone is kicking butt - and I love it, though I think I need to find a case for it so I don't destroy it.
- The sun is shining in my window today - another cup of coffee and I should be on my way!
- My life is about setting little goals right now - this week, I'm going to pick up my camera more - even if it means exploring my phone camera.
It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!
