project 365 - day 45

As much as Owen loves his DS, his sister loves the computer - Webkinz and Cartoon Network specifically. Is it wrong that when she runs low on Webkinz cash, I go on for her and play some of the games to earn more? She just loves shopping in the little Webkinz store so much. How can I deny her? And I'm GOOD at those games.

yummy

I just made Chocolate Peanut Butter brownies that I got from Sharon at River Street Gourmet. OMG, so yummy. You must try them! All of you!

project 365 - day 44

When I run out of things to take pictures of, and I will, there will always be Owen and his DS. Truly I do not remember what this child did before he got this thing a year and a half ago.

25 things meme

Ginny posted this on one of my yahoo groups, so here's mine:

1. I am addicted to the snooze button. I hit it for about an hour every morning. Drives dh crazy.
2. I LOVE the smell of dog feet. They smell like love to me. Rico's smell better than Jasper's, but Calvin's smelled the best of all.
3. I've lived in six states, from east coast to west coast and far north to far south.
4. I am an only child, and I do think that it forced me to be more creative growing up so I wouldn't get bored.
5. I am still not on Facebook. I might remedy that anytime now.
6. I am on MySpace, but I forgot my login information ages ago so I've not been on in probably a year.
7. I adore shopping. I can't get enough. Online or in person, I am most definitely a shopaholic.
8. My little toe is odd. It’s way shorter than the other toes and kind of curls sideways under the toe next to it.
9. Despite the oddity of my toes, I get pedicures regularly, and almost always have my toenails painted five different colors. Most people call them skittles or m-n-m’s.
10. I’ve had the same toe ring on for 12 years. Prior to that I lost many, frequently.
11. I love to gamble, esp. Blackjack and Three Card Poker. I was so very excited when we got those games at Hard Rock here in Tampa.
12. When I was little I used to think I wanted five kids. Now, not so much.
13. I chew pen caps all the time. I keep a stash by all my computers, and also by the bed and in the car. If I can’t find one for some reason when I want one I’m like a junkie looking for a fix, digging through the pen holders in the house. It’s pathetic.
14. I was a double major in English and Theatre in college. Then I got out and realized I needed a skill, so I taught myself web design.
15. One of the wildest jobs I ever had was right after college, working as a shot girl and beer tub girl in a bar, dressed in a bikini. VERY good money.
16. I grew up in a tiny little town that didn’t even have a fast food place.
17. If it were up to me I would take in every stray animal I came across. DH is not on board with that plan, so we have just three cats and two dogs (at the moment!)
18. One of the fishies in our fish tank had babies that we just discovered yesterday. I am so excited about this, though I know the odds are good that the other fishies will eat them.
19. I have two tattoos, one that I got when I was 17 and one when I was 21.
20. I like to cook but I don’t have time anymore.
21. I am pretty fairly consistently two years behind in my scrapbooking and I don’t know how I will ever manage to catch up.
22. I think Sugar Free Sobe Adrenaline Rush is about the yummiest non-alcoholic drink in the world.
23. I constantly make new attempts at keeping a journal and I always fail, typically stopping after only one or two entries. Then when I go back and find them again they always seem to start out with “this time I’m really going to keep up on journaling”. Ha
24. I have very little patience, and that’s something I desperately need to work on.
25. I’m really bad about lurking on people’s blogs, and not commenting. But I’m out there!

project 365 - day 43

Owen went to a birthday party at Pump It Up today for one of his classmates. As much as I despise making that drive (oh how I wish we had one closer!) the kids always enjoy it so much there.

project 365 - day 42

Today was the last soccer games of the season, so you would think my pic would be of one of those, but no. HAD to snap these pictures. Sherbert and Rico playing together. Sometimes I think it's amazing that either of them enjoys this, what with the head in the mouth, the claws, etc. but they both seem to love it. And they certainly both come back for more. Kind of odd really.

project 365 - day 41

Tonight was Girl's Night Out that Angela organized. We did Melting Pot and then to go see "He's Just Not That Into You." Very cute movie!! Definite chick flick!! The whole evening was a lot of fun. I didn't know most of the girls there, just Angela, Melissa and Chelle, but everyone was super nice. And of course the food was awesome. I even showed restraint and didn't drink at Melting Pot, but mostly because Vibha and I had hit happy hour after work before I had to be at dinner, so I was already 4 margaritas in when I got there. This shot is a group pic after dinner before we left for the movie.
