Things that make me Unhappy:
1. Passive aggressive behavior.

I tried to think of more, but really-that's about it as far as things that make me unhappy today. It's pretty hard to marsh my mellow today.

So, I was trying to make sure I uploaded the videos I took of the dogs today, Needless to say, Lola was still wanting to attack the water.

Today was a very fun day for Ms. Lola and The Be! Lola and Jujube had so much fun playing in the water and trying to keep us safe from the evil water. I love my puppies!

August challenges

I decided that August is going to the month of Pam. Some of my goals are:
1. walk at least 3 times a week
2. Lose some pounds!
3. Beauty treatments.
4. Not spend money on unnecessary things.
5. Be more creative-get back to my old self
6. Hang with the girls
7. Date night with Mark

I know I have more but this is all I can think of right now.

I could never be mad at you cupcake

Sorry Angie....I have to do it. I went to St. Cupcake today. I couldn't resist! I was looking up recipes for buttercream frosting because my next adventure is baking and I got a craving for the best cupcakes in Portland. Seriously-I have friends who come from Vancouver BC for these wonderful things. They even have vegan cupcakes! I got Mark three of his favorites (so Mark if you are reading this-SURPRISE!)

Now for some crafty news. Some things that I am currently working on: Tea towel for the candy/sweets swap. Pillow cases for the auction. I need to start on holiday stuff and a business plan. I get so scared and nervous that if I try to sell my stuff, no one will buy it. I know I'm a dork.

In other crafty good news. Craft Mafia (which started in Austin) is now in Portland. Once I get the business up and running I may join.

I am also working on personal challenges for August. More of that later.......
