Peach Cobbler


This weekend was full of peaches and little girls. Local peaches from the farmer's market and little Hannah to help me make a peach cobbler. She did such a good job! And we got to eat the reward!

We got the recipe from Pioneer Woman's new recipe site Tasty Kitchen.

I just had a "Are you freaking kidding me?" moment

Accomplishments to Come

I am typing my to do list for this weekend. School is about to start and I want to get a lot done. I want to paint, re-arrange, do a 100 loads of laundry (slight exaggeration), cook, mop, vacuum, hang curtains, garden, cut grass, work on freelance. As I was writing TO-DO, I changed it to Accomplishments to come. It sounds much better, does it not?

It makes me want to do everything at once.
Please step aside while I conquer this list. Thank you...

I also have quite the honey-do list.
Shh, don't tell...

Masterpiece


Great find at the thrift store. The Masterpiece game-an Art Auction game. Apparently it was all the rage in the 70's. It still has all of the pieces and is in mint condition. It even came with these great postcards of famous paintings. Can't wait to play it. It is the inspiration for the game night I am hosting this weekend. Want to come?

F8 Moment

I am turning into a big Nurse Jackie fan. The writing is great and Edie Falco does a superb job. I was watching the latest episode and there was a scene that made me howl with laughter. Edie is teaching a temp nurse how to do something on the computer and she tells him to push F8. The nurse first pushed the letter F and then the number 8.

I deal with a lot of people who check their technical skills at the door when they come to work everyday. I know have a new name for those episodes--A F8 moment.

Bargain Hunter-Warrior Princess

I have a problem. I will be the first to admit it. I love a bargain. I love thrift stores. I love 75% off sales. Maybe it paying less for something OR maybe it's the thrill of the hunt. Either way, I can't go long without a fix.

So, we were at Lowe's tonight buying supplies for ripping out the carpet when I spotted the oops shelf in the paint section. I have been wrestling with paint colors for sometime...

I ended up buying 2 gallons of paint for less than $20. I got a great deal and the colors are fantastic.

Fresh Linen and a great red. I will post pictures as the drama unfolds.

Stashing scissors


I have been noticing that Hannah's bangs look uneven and little twigs of hair seem to multiply all over her head. I finally found her STASH of scissors. When I asked her about it, she started looking indignant and pouty and said: "but mom, you don't understand." All this from a 3 year old.
