5 fun things!

why hello there!

what's up buttercups?

well, it is 21' here in the land of cleve town and snowing buckets.

we have had such a mild winter thus far that apparently mother nature

has felt the need to bless us with

6 inches of the white goodness....

i am working at the hospital and thought i could squeeze in a quick post. seeing how my

days/nights run together and i can never seem to find the time during the week.

princess # 2 and i drove up to see princess # 3 last night. we stopped on the way to

pick her up to get some sugar cookies and cuppies. (mama was too busy to bake them... :O(

but are you ready? for 6 teeny sugar cookies and 4 cupcakes....

THIRTY DOLLARS!

say whaaa??

yes, my friends 30 bones.

i was like ok.....these better taste magically delicious. princess # 2 and i shared a sugar cookie

and i have to say they were good. just ok good.

i guess i am partial to my recipe....but i still love trying others.

anyway, princess # 3 thought P#2, could not make it up....but because we are tricky....

we decided to surprise her. ah ha. mischievious minds...

so when we were pulling in, P#2, climbed into the trunk through the back seat (yes, i have a super secret

door that opens to the trunk....lol.....) kidding. i drive a nissan altima....its not super secret...

so i called P# 3 and said, I"M HERE, come on down....and oh, btw, your little treats are in the trunk, so

go ahead and grab them. i will pop the trunk....

so, i pop the trunk....and up pops PRINCESS # 2, screaming, surprise....I"M HERE!!!

princess # 3 almost died. like if you could have seen it....it was freaking hysterical...

and i may or may not have almost peed my pants.

it's the priceless moments that you wish you could box up and on a bad day, replay all over.....

we laughed so hard we were all crying.

we had a delightful dinner and did some shopping and then princess # 3 had to make princess # 2, some CD's so i crashed in the dorm...on the top bunk. this mama is getting old. i mean it was after 10pm.

i took a little cat nap and then we made the drive home....

sweet little nuggets. i love those peanuts...

oh and i should mention that while we were dining, the fire department shows up....lights, full gear and just

casually stroll thru the restaurant....our server was like ok, do you ladies need

anything else.....and i was like, well, no....all is well, but is the restaurant on fire???

he said, well, no not really....just some towels in the kitchen caught on fire...

yep. just some little towels...alrighty. insert another fresh cut fry into my mouth and forget that

i asked.....and just saw a fireman, walking in front of me, with his gear and flashlight....

so what fun stuff have you planned for vday?

i am not a big fan. never have. probably never will. but i still like to make special

treats for the kiddos and usually take some to work.

here are few sweet things i found while surfing the internet, i mean, working....lol...

free printables from mooo.com!

yes, free stuff...i love free stuff...

and just look at these:

credit: etsy!

so adorable, yet not difficult to make....or you can buy them if money is no object...

they are 39.00 / dozen.....ouch. kind of makes my 4 cuppies and 6 lil cookies sound CHEAP!

how bout this for your favorite lovie:

a simple i love you. the end.

ok, this one just cracks me up. and the funny thing...i almost bought it.

for all our man lovers....you know how they sometimes

have like 'chafing' issues...

down 'there'...lol...

(i never said that i would hold back anything on this blog. just sayin)...

credit: etsy!

the good news is that all of the natural products on this site, are sooo reasonable. i dig

natural and nothing excites me more than CHEAP.

well.....maybe a few things....might. maybe.

and the last fun thing that caught my eye:

we could not forget our furry friends on v-day...after all, they make heart pitter patter...

i had purchased a collar and leash for kolby from this etsy shop. i LOVE it.

the shop owner was so easy to deal with and the collar and leash were

so well designed...mr. k's collar is lime green and blue argyle...cuz he's metro like that...

and i think we will order miss keeley a matching one like this:

i hope you all have a super sweet valentine's day and i hope you spend it doing what

you love or with whom you love!

494. my warm house.

493. blueberry crumble coffee.

492. ability to work out.

491. my sister.

490. my soft sherpa blankie, especially on days like today.

and its monday, again

rain rain go AWAY! 

seriously.

dear mrs. spring. i realize with a strong passion

that the 

grass, the trees, the tulips and all the other flowers need

mucho H2o to fluorish. 

HOWEVER,

we havent been dry since, um, i don't know like NOVEMBER?

it has either snowed every day or rained.

OYE VAY. 

we did have a 77  degree sunny day on saturday, which was a blessing, seeing 

how i was sitting outside at a track meet all. day. long.

(not complaining in the least)

it's princess # 3's senior year. yeoww! sad. sad. sad.

i even scored a wee bit of sun on this nose. 

(i have sworn off tanning, well, fake tanning, and let me tell you:

I FREAKING MISS IT.

tanning beds are 15 mins of pure warmth and bliss. 

i mean who cares if it causes undue wrinkles and skin cancer, right?!?

well, apparently, my health conscience did get the best of me, because i quit. 

the fake tanning anyway. 

not saying i won't lay out by the pool til i am roasted like vegetables.....

just sayin i quit the 'bad' kind of tanning.

k. enough malarky.

HAPPY EASTER all.

a 

day

late.

xoxo

i will post the amazing pics of some cute little snuggle bunnies but 

they are on a camera none other then my own. go figure. 

patience is of the virtue, right?!? i promise they will come.

kk, onto more funnnnn STUFF!

lookie lookie what i found:

i follow the TomKat Studio

and she featured this adorable etsy artist. oh my heaven to betsy. etsy. i rhyme. lol. 

yes. i am a dork like that.

so flipping cute!

did you really think i could let a post go by, without mentioning something about my fav lil treat?!?

der. de. der.

p.s. 

i am skipping for joy! i lost 8 lbs! HOLLAR! this chick is getting skinny!

what i'm lovin!!!

heyyyyy ooooo!

it's friday!

HOLLAR!

i am a working from home mama.

HOLLAR times two.

bad side: i threw my back out yesterday so even tho i love being in the jams, i am in PAIN.

i had the boy put TWO lidocaine patches on me yesterday which did help.

(these were leftover from an injury he had a couple of years ago)

but

they

worked.

(i do not recommend  or endorse using your significant other's leftover pain rx)....

but we do what we have to do in times of need.

thank. you.

soooooo, i wanted to share some fun stuff i just bought from etsy.

i am linking up with

tidy mom~for i'm lovin it!!!

actually these sweet rings were part of the 3 princess' v-days gifts....

 how cute are these?

we they just loved them!!!

run over to

gabeadz!!!

she has the cutest stuff!

i love to shop from these eclectic little handmade boutiques.

i think it makes your purchase so much more meaningful.

this includes restaurants as well. i would much rather

dine at an independent owned place,

rather then a chain!

what are your feelings?

chain or independently owned?

in addition i want to know your fun weekend plansies!

i am thinking we are going to head over here,

the west side market!

this is the funnest (i know...its not a word)....

place to frequent on the weekend.

you can find any and everything here!

i am thinking we may do a wine tasting as well. it's 10 bucks.

you taste 6 wines with yummo cheese and crackers!

ok, maybe cheese and cracks are not the most yummo thing, but it's food!

 and VINO for 10 dollars! yeowwwwza!

tasting is based on  aussie wines....

i like cheap fun things to  do!!

ok, blends, i am outy to get some underwriting done.

that's what i do best.

lol.

that's what my boss says anyway!

love you, miss you,

bye.

p.s. dont' forget to stop over at tidy mom to see what others are LOVIN!
