Yesterday was a busy busy day. My mom came over and we (mostly her) scrubbed on our hands and knees our kitchen floor. We vacuumed a bit and I put away 2 laundry baskets of clothes away. That was before lunch then we went to Costco and Target after lunch to pick up some needed grocery items.

We were getting ready for dh's birthday!! The big 26!

We had dinner for my family and I made cupcakes and after eating we all played the wii. A simple & fun birthday.

After that busy day I was TIRED and fell asleep as soon as my head it the pillow.

YIPPIE Hooray!! We've mailed off our taxes!!!

What a relief....now to get our juicy rebate this summer!!!!! WoO HOO economic stimulus program!!!

"Music boxes."

I had just finished my previous book and started this one 2 days ago so I haven't even gotten to page 123 yet so I won't try and read the context of that sentence but there you go!

My cousin Tina, you've seen me mention her a few times. each week is so faithful to plan her weekly menus. She participates with a site orgjunkie.com and their Menu Plan Monday blog prompt. I thought I might try things out. I'm not participating at the site but, dh and I have been really trying to eat at home more and plan our menus. I always run it to the issue of how many ways can you have chicken?? Blah! We used to rely on our grill to spice up our weekly menu but our grill has been out of commission for almost 1 year now and we haven't found it in our budget to get a new one. So I'll try to be consistent with this feature of my blog (unlike other things I've tried)

Monday - Baked chicken with red potatoes & green beans
Tuesday - Turkey Chili from Sunday served with white rice
Wednesday - Homemade Flat bread pizza
Thursday - Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches
Friday - Burrito bowls with white rice, black beans, chipotle chicken, cheese and lettuce with salsa and tortilla chips.


Wish me luck!!! If I can make it home and get started right away cooking I usually have a good chance of getting food on the table LOL.

Well it has been some time since I've completed a layout but it feels great to have accomplished such a cute 2 page spread. These photos are from the Egg Hunt party we hosted at our house on Saturday.

I saw this list of questions on my cousin tina's blog and thought they were great and I'd answer them too:

Question 1
What can you draw well?

No, but I can doodle pretty good!!!

Question 2
Name a TV show (at any period in your life) that you watched that you were probably a little too old to watch.

Hanna Montana!!!

Question 3
What color is the dominant color of your wardrobe? Black for now

Question 4
Favorite donut?

Cinnamon & Sugar powdered donut holes from Dunkin Donuts

Question 5
Wear painful shoes just because they are cute?

I wear a pair of painful high heels only because I'm too cheap to buy a new pair of dress shoes.

Bonus Questions
Question 6
Is there anything that you believe you do not believe God about?

Wow...NOT AT ALL. I've seen him preform miracles big and small in my life and other's life I certainly believe in God and all the Bible says he is.

Question 7
In general, do you think it is ok to be frustrated with people?

I'm not sure if I think it is okay to be frustrated with people. I have instances where I really want people to see the truth in situations but I can't change their minds they have to want to see things differently that frustrates me but I try not to dwell on it. I like to give them love and move on. I'm not always successful that this but I try and I think that is the important thing.
