October 22, 2010Products & Places0
Time for a new snazzy watch! That's what time it is! Someone posted this link recently and I fell in love! I added a pink one to my wish list right away! I have no idea what they are like in person and I don't even care. I just know that I want one! I...

I had my doctor’s appointment today and my glucose test. The drink we had wasn’t as bad as some people have said. You have to drink the whole thing within 5 minutes and then get your blood checked within an hour of drinking it. I drank it in just over a minute. The hardest part...

the girl who played with fire

October 20, 2010Books0
I just finished this book. This is the 2nd book in the trilogy. I read the first book and liked it. I borrowed this one from someone at work. I liked this one better than the first book. It was a bit more suspenseful and a faster read than the first one. The ending really...

bird seed wreath

October 15, 2010Randomness0
Last year I came across instructions to make bird seed wreaths. So I made them for a few people as Christmas gifts. They were a big hit. First, you'll need water, bird seed and gelatin. Then make the gelatin as it instructs on the packaging. Next, spray a mold with cooking spray. Then add the...

green cupcakes

I made green cupcakes. I think I made them for St. Patrick's Day. Yeah, I know…that was MONTHS ago, but here are some pictures anyway (which aren't great since they are from my phone)! They were tasty. And green! I think I am going to do this again sometime. Maybe make all sorts of colors....

another painted room

October 13, 2010Randomness0
Last weekend we painted another room in the house. This time it was our office upstairs. We are calling this the “project room” because we have an office on the first floor that we are going to keep clean, so this room will be the one we leave messy. This is the way the room...

painted rooms

Last weekend we painted a couple rooms in our house. One, of course, was the baby's room. I'll get to that one in a second. First, we painted the downstairs study. This is going to be an office on the first floor of the house. I think we are both excited to have an office...

I finished this book recently. I wanted to read it because I did watch some of the Hills. But I didn't expect too much. And it was good I didn't. It wasn't that great. It was a little like the show, but mostly a bunch of girly mumbo jumbo. I'm not sure I expected anything...

A few weeks ago, Chuck and I finally made a decision on a new car. It's a long story, but we were down to one car and needed to make a decision after having one car for a little over a month. We decided on the Nissan Murano. I love it! It's a great size,...

We were watching tv one night and saw a commercial for Kraft Homestyle Mac & Cheese. Chuck thought it looked fabulous. So I found some and made it one night. First, boil water and cook the macaroni. Drain the macaroni and melt some butter in the same pan. Then mix in the seasoning/flour mix. You...

I decided I wanted some new boots. So I have been hunting online for the cheapest deal I can get for cute shoes. Of course, Target came to my rescue yet again. I ordered these: Aren't they cute?! Here's the kicker…they are kids shoes! So they are even cheaper. And if I bought them online,...

This little fishy friend is at the kids’ doctor’s office. He’s the friendliest little guy and just swims right up to you. Maddie named him Spiky and wanted to bring him home. 🐡
Today the kids (ok, well just Alex) celebrated the Today the kids (ok, well just Alex) celebrated the 💯th day of school. This is a big deal in kindergarten and also a big deal in general. We have done 100 days of DL at our new school. These teachers have been amazing and our kids have done an great job. We are so proud of them. Not everyday is easy, not everyday is fun, but an end is in sight.

We decided we are sending them back to school in April for the 4th quarter. Although I’ll probably cry to say goodbye to these teachers, I’m so excited for my kids to be IN their new school and make some new friends and feel like part of the Hilltop family.😁

This was a really quick book that I listened to re This was a really quick book that I listened to recently. It had been on my list for a while. I found this book to be comical right from the beginning because these three little black girls are being shipped across the country to live with a mother who left them. I realize this book took place in 1968 and things were very different then, but it just felt too unrealistic. Their mother is part of the Black Panthers and really doesn’t want anything to do with her girls. The girls spend the summer hanging out with Black Panther members and basically caring for themselves. By the end of their trip, they realize they did need this trip and it was a good experience. 

The book ended somewhat abruptly and that is possibly because there are more books in the series. I think it was interesting to read about how different life was in the late 60s and I am impressed their trip went as well as it did. Then again, it’s just a book, so really, you can make anything happen in a book that you want. It doesn’t have to be believable. I would agree with the title, these girls had a very crazy summer.

True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting o True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting on the boat recently, watching the kids play and listening to the house be built, I panicked. Crap! We should have put our house the other way. Left side on the right, right side on the left. That tree will be in our way! WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! 
.
So I immediately text Chuck who is working and tell him about how I am worried almost to tears about this. That we messed up.
.
It isn’t something we can do anything about even if we maybe should have done it the other way, which is probably nonsense. But we love this tree. And it’s going to add to our amazing view. And I want to plant another one on the other side one day anyway. And that big open spot will have a deck and porch behind the main floor garage. And what...I may have to turn my head slightly to see the lake better?🙄
.
Yep. I’m a nutcase. I don’t worry about the things right in front of me. Or even things I should worry about. Nope. Just things that can’t be changed...now that’s where my worry shines! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤪
