This is actually my Friday post (posting late~on Saturday).

Last night we had dinner with Steve & Judy, Nate's parents. They are visiting from PA. It was so nice to see them, and of course I had to bring my camera :)

Today we celebrated Administrative Professionals Day at our office~I am so lucky to work in a place where I am appreciated not only on Admin Prof Day, but every single day *smile* (already ate some of the chocolate earlier~so this picture is missing an item, LOL!!)



I also ordered myself a little present last week, which arrived today *happy mail day*



Last week while Mike and I were on vacation, I was trying to take some photos of us using my camera's timer...well I got a lot of shots of my butt, LOL!! Since I didn't get out of the way fast enough (2 seconds is not enough time, seriously!!), so I ordered a camera remote (used to have one for my last camera and never ordered one for my new one~LOVE IT!!!). Well there wasn't much of a learning curve~the very first photo I look like a dear in headlights (that is Dewey helping me out, and don't mind my exercise uniform, LOL!!).



And here is a crazy one of me~cause the smiling ones looked dorky~ier!!!

I was just thinking about my POTD (photo of the day), and wondering what I was going to photograph at 8:30 pm. They I walked into my craft room and found our crazy cat Pete, a.k.a. CRAZY PETE, sitting in my light box (which I use for photos on my other "crafty" blog) . That is why we call him CRAZY PETE *smile*






I guess he is comfy in there, ha ha!!!

I learned how to make this bunny fold napkin here. It seriously took me 20 min (or more) to figure out how to do it, and it still didn't quite look like Martha's~I am NO Martha Stewart, LOL!!!!
Happy Easter!!!

I like to get as much done the day before our family dinners as possible~I just whipped up some deviled eggs (since Mike and Josh like them so much, and I had made lots of hard boiled eggs). I make them the same way my Mor Mor (grandmother in Swedish) did...Miracle Whip, s&p, a little paprika, and some parsley or chives for color. She even game me this egg plate a long, long time ago *makes me smile every time I make them*



I am hiding these in the garage fridge~cause someone, I won't mention any names (JOSH) has been know to steal a few before dinner.

and a close up just for fun!!!

It is that time of year...the peeps are out (well they are really out for all holidays now, but Easter is their main holiday).

I {heart} peeps!!!! I know most people think they are gross~but who doesn't love a sugary marshmallow chick??? Seriously, I love them fresh or stale, LOL!!!


I already dug into the first row!!!

Mike and I are off for a week of rest and relaxation *smile*

Today I spent some time with my good friend Cindy~we went for a mani & pedi *smile* then we went here for a treat~YUM!!

Can I just state for the record...that I seriously HATE my feet!! I inherited some ugly ones from my mom (she hates hers too, LOL!). But what the heck~used it as my POTD.

Happy Friday!!!

was packing lunches for tomorrow and realized I forgot to take my Photo of the Day (POTD). So what better subject than these yummy treats (which go in Mike and Josh's lunch~I get watermelon and a banana~but, seriously would rather have the cookies, LOL!!).

Enjoy Today~the weekend is almost here :) *woot*

If you know me...you know that I do NOT have a green thumb!! So when I got this orchid for my birthday, I thought it would be a matter of days before I killed it. Well, to my disbelief, it is still going strong :)





Thought I would also throw in a photo of one of my kitties (since I missed my post yesterday), this is Dewey. Cats have the life, don't they??!! The sleep like 20 hours a day, this is Dewey's favorite napping spot, on the top of our living room love seat.

Tonight my hubby was paying bills~I am so glad he takes care of this responsibility~I get too stressed!!! I am happy just to spend the $$, LOL!!!

365 {4.6.11}

I have been driving around with all this stuff (JUNK) in the back of my car for weeks~I am happy to report~it has been dropped off at Goodwill!!! It is nice to have my backseat back ;)

Yesterday I went over to 36th street because I wanted to photograph these big chains for my Picture Inspiration class. I think they are pretty cool!!

One of the things on my agenda today was tackling Ashley's old bedroom (which is now our guest room). Josh had purged a lot of stuff (junk) from his room a couple of weeks ago and decided to store the stuff he wanted to keep, but didn't know where to put, in Ashley's room. I also joined in on the storing of stuff (junk); things like birthday party decorations, wrapping paper, my ironing pile, photography props, need I say more (OK don't judge, LOL!)? I was starting to feel like someone from this show!! Today I rectified the situation!!! Since I was too lazy to change my 50 mm lens from my camera, you are gonna get the close up version of before and after.

Before: (I had actually started to dig into the mess, then realized I forgot to take a before photo...and I was not about to put the stuff (junk) back, just for the photo, LOL!).



all of Josh's stuff that he didn't want to get rid of in bins (which surprisingly fit in his OWN closet!!)


Stuff to go in the trash or to Goodwill.

After: I feel so much better getting things back to my OCD state *wink*





**Mom you can come and visit now**

Today Mike worked in the yard and I planted some flowers :) I love pretty~ing up the yard!!! Unfortunately I don't have much of a green thumb~so hopefully I won't kill these pretty flowers. Happy Saturday!!

I heard that my peeps from CT got snow today~YUCK!!! This is what we are enjoying today~sorry to rub it in, LOL!! We do have an extra room if you want to come for a visit *wink*
