Burnt buttcrack

*Really slow news night*
I pulled weeds today and burnt my buttcrack from bending over. I'll spare ya a picture. (LOL).

I do have to say that I have a near perfect life. I have a wonderful husband who I love and who adores me. I have a wonderful house, a meaningful job, great friends. Life is pretty grand. Sometimes I think if I actually enjoy life, I will jinx it and everything will fall apart but ya know, I'm gonna give myself a chance to be happy. I've worked really hard to get here and have done some dumb things in my earlier years but right now-I wouldn't have it any other way.

Some of my favorites

I have ever told you some of my favorites. No,,,,well here ya go (slow news night)

Favorite movies
1. Big Lebowski (no more needs to be said-best.movie.ever.)
2. Any Beach Blanket Bingo movie. How can you not love Frankie and Annette?
3. Creature from the Black Lagoon. Universal monsters are the best.

Favorite TV shows.
1. The office (both versions)
2. The Simpsons
3. Flight of the Conchords

Guilty pleasures
1. America's funniest videos. I love the ones with cute puppies and kittens
2. Bad 80's hairbands. Since I lived through it I can actually enjoy them for the camp value
3. Suntanning. Yes, I know it's bad for you, I know it will make me look old but there is something so "Coco Chanel" about laying out by the pool, sipping a drink, listening to music.

There, now you know a little more about me. What about you?

The Tattoo part tres...

Yippee! I got some more done on my arm. Hopefully I have one more sitting and the completely done (I keep saying that but I hope this time I mean it!). I think it is coming together so well. I love it so much!

Angie's baby shower

Today was my friend Angie's babyQ. It was so much fun hanging out withe my friends, seeing turkeys and baby goats. The weather was nice and the food was yummy. The best part of the day was hanging with my friends.

Relaxing on a summer night

It was such a wonderful summer night. The weather is perfect (nice 75-80) and we sat outside on the back porch playing with the puppers. Lola and Jujube were playing ball and Kato sat by Mark and just chilled. Mark made us some yummy drinks and we sat and watched the birds and Koi. I love my husband, my backyard,my puppies. My life is really great.


Tomorrow I get to see Angie and Amy for Angie's shower. I can't wait to hang with my friends.

Dinner date

Mark had a party to play at tonight so I made dinner. I can't believe I actually cooked. I made stuff salmon, aspargus, bread with mango sorbet for dessert. I decided to make it a romantic dinner and

 have it outside in our back yard. I had wonderful french music going, candles and a nice breeze. Wonderful wine and conversation.

Proof that I can cook (yes, the apron proves it) and the dinner table before we ate.

Featured Project on Craftster!

I'm a featured project on Craftster! YES! That was one of my goals! The pillowcases I made for AlwaysInspired got picked. I am SOOOOOO happy and proud! Yippee!

Let's see, what else is going on. I got more work done on my tattoo but I am still waiting for the redness to go down before posting another picture.

I had Mark take this picture today of a flowering plant we have in our front yard. I am 5 feet 4 inches and this plant is a good foot taller than me. It's crazy!



Mark and I went out to lunch today. I don't think he wanted his picture taken. My OMP!
