Where my lunch time goes.

Today, I had roughly 30 minutes for lunch (part of which I am taking to write this!) before I had to run out for work-related errands. Rebecca had eaten lunch, so it was in front of my computer time!

What did I do?

1. Caught up on PW’s cooking blog.
2. Sent this recipe to Jeff, asking if he’d eat it.
3. Read about Matt’s Canada Sweepstakes.
4. Entered said sweepstakes.
5. Researched Immersion blenders, and lusted after this one.


6. Researched cream of potato soup, and emailed Jeff to ask him if this was indeed the soup he likes (I’m in a soup mood, can you tell?)
7. Finally learned to love Google blog search.
8. Found this recipe and this recipe for soup.
9.  Started to look at this, and then realized maybe for lunch it wasn’t a great idea. Bookmarked for later.
10. Ate lunch.

Think about what I could do in an hour! Speaking of which, I’ll be updating this blog later today too.

 

knee-knocking, back-slapping fun.

As you all know, I’ve been away takin’ care of the business of my sister’s wedding. Sorry it’s been a while since I updated, but since I have SO MUCH to tell you about, I’ll start by showing you the results of the crafts at the wedding!

Here is a picture of the final seating chart cards. Thanks to Aunt Kathy for writing all the names!

This is the sign that Jon cut the wood for and I spray painted (with Jeff’s help), and Uncle Tony and Jeff nailed. Ahh, family team work.

Here is Lillian, the flower girl, carrying the bouquet we made. She was so gentle with it, which was adorable.

Folding the programs that I designed with Traci and Jeff’s help.

Next up? Some wedding photos, although picking through the thousands is going to be hard…


crafty, craftier, craftiest.

A few more crafts needed to be completed for Nikki’s wedding and I needed a little help. Partly because I was behind and partly because I’m not great at crafts. Luckily, the girls were coming over for Book Club and I was hosting, so I coaxed them into being my crafting buddies. Luckily, Cricket’s mom was in town, and she’s full of crafty knowledge and really did such excellent work I can’t even take credit for really any of the final product.

Here are the beginnings of the bouquet.

Look, me helping.

The lovely Jess, also making flowers.

The magical glue gun that Cricket’s mom suggested we use. So smart!

The silver clothespins to hold the seating chart cards.
