This past weekend was a fun one. I had goals that included cleaning and weeding, but those took a backseat to ummm, fun things. These things happen.
We had another picnic in the park, this time with KFC. The husband had the great idea to make our picnic classy and brought some sparkling apple cider. The classiest glasses we had were ice cream sundae glasses, but it worked for me. My favorite of the evening was Danny opening the apple cider using a broken pair of finger nail clippers I found in my purse. It was sanitary, don't worry.

Danny and I went and saw the new movie "The Avengers". I see a lot more action movies now that I'm married. The movie was entertaining. It's not one that is really intellectually stimulating, but the graphics are cool and overall it's fun. Iron man is my favorite of those make-believe comic heroes.
Saturday evening we went to a Cinco de Mayo party, hooray for Mexico! There was so much delicious guacamole, my taste buds were happy. It was also wonderful to see some great friends and enjoy good conversation.
So much good food!

Apparently food is an important aspect of weekends. I think I need a more active life. But until then, I ventured in the unknown world of cooking curry. This was a very mild recipe, but it turned out really good. Next time I think I'm going to try a little less lime and a little more curry.
I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester. This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready. My first creations were these little paper/foam trees. I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it. They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note: You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project. Don't! I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all. Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture. You just punch circles out from the scrap paper. Then hot glue th...
There is a time when things fulfill their purpose and that is how I've been feeling with this blog of mine. When I started it, I needed my own little spot to share my thoughts and random stuff I found online. However, having two blogs has become excessive. It has been a good run (me and this little blog) and thanks for joining me. For now on, I will just be posting on my family blog . It's a private blog, but send me a message or a request if you would like to view it. Thanks to those who have taken the time to read my silly thoughts or look at pictures of my cute kiddo or some craft I made. It means a lot to me. Signing off, Jannifer
This past week was Melina's birthday! Since she lives far away, Talena and I put together a hula party in a box and mailed it to her. We found all of these treasures at the dollar section at the front of Target. My favorite moment was when we heard a lady gripe about how the discount section was full of a bunch of useless stuff that no one would buy. At that very moment we turned the corner, with our hand basket full of awesome stuff we had found. We just smiled. The party supplies The party agenda I was having a bit of a low evening and Danny suggested we go get my latest craving Sonic blasts. (Ice cream + candy + whipped cream.) I know you aren't supposed to feed sorrows with food, but this particular evening I made an exception. Whoever made that Sonic blast was heaven sent. It had more Reese's peanut butter cups than actual ice cream. It's like they sensed my heavy heart and tried to heal it with choc...
It looks like fun, of course, but I must admit that I am glad that Dad and I watch more bonnet movies than action ones.
