I feel like these last few months I have really been making progress in just living in the moment.

I seriously need constant reminders, so I decided to make a little reminder. Take a piece of plywood, glue on little wooden letters saying whatever you want it to say. Then paint the board and the letters all the SAME color. :)

(Hint: It would probably be MUCH easier to paint the letters FIRST, before you glue them on the board. This way you won't have to use tooth-picks and Q-tips to get the paint around all the little white nooks and crannies of the letter :) Of course I realize this halfway through the darn little project :)




So. I dunno. Simple. Cute. Cheap. Kind of modern art-ish. Look at me with all my art terms. ;)

I want to make my next one painted in a pale yellow color that says "you are my sunshine."
wouldn't that be cute for a baby nursery or something?

Watch out Baby Boy Mowry, Auntie Lindsay is feeling crafty ;)

Beyonce

Last night Drew and I made a quick little stop at Fred Meyer and while we were walking to the back of the store to get our purchases he said, "Hey Beyonce" to try and tell me something.

I stopped in the organic meat aisle, turned to him and said, "Why did you just call me Beyonce, ya weirdo??"

Turns ouuuuuut. He had said "fiance" becauuussseeeee...

Look what I found mixed in the guts (I know, such a great word choice huh?) of the pumpkin when I carved it last night??? ;)

Goodbye Super-Wal Mart!

I am switching jobs (same organization) and will be working at a different office. The drive will be waaaay shorter :) BUT. I will no longer be able to spend my lunch hour wandering around Super Wal-Mart. I will miss you, Wally-World but I'll be sure to visit when I am down south and stock up on Weight Watchers yogurt. ;)

Spring 2012

TOMS is coming out with a line of ballet flats this SPRING :)

Yesss... Cute, affordable, functional.

Mini Meeeee

I went and got my hair cut and look what BRILLIANT thing I bought in this fancy-schmancy salon bag? A MINI BOTTLE OF OPI NAIL POLISH! FOR ONLY 2 DOLLARS!

I always go back and forth back and forth at the store when it comes to buying nail polish. OPI is by farrr the best quality but who wants to spend 10 DOLLARS on a bottle of nail polish when you don't even know if you like the color? (Heck, who wants to spend 10 dollars on a bottle of nail polish period? Even if you LOVE the color?
Enter this brilliant little invention. Enough polish for two coats on the fingers and two coats on the toesies and by then you are over the color anyways and it is time to move to the next hot trend. Do-it-yourself shellac manicure anyone? More to come on this later ;)

Do you know what ELSE came in my fancy-schmancy salon bag?

These mini-triscuits!

haha. no. just kidding. but I was sitting down to paint my nails with my new mini-bottle and saw that my mom had just bought these mini triscuits. ;)

Mini OPI Nail Polish= GENIUS

Mini Triscuits= Not feeling it... :)

Why one would want these is beyond me. Your slice of cheese would be waaaay overpowering for the poor little cracker.

You know you live in the Pacific Northwest when:

A grocery store runs prove our pumpkin lattees go everywhere with us. Gatorade? psshh. What are electrolytes when you have CAFFEINE?

Driving down the freeway today, you see a car FULL of young men (at least 6 in a little, little car) with window paint saying

"On our way to SeaTac to see if Amanda Knox will marry me...

Honk if you want Foxy Knoxy!"

;) How was YOUR Tuesday? :)
