project life 2014–week 7

sunday: it started snowing saturday night, and left us just enough in the morning to play in AND justify stying home from church. the kids had fun playing, building snowmen, attempting to snowboard, and eating snow.

monday: stretching out after aerobics, I enlisted a friend’s help, another decided to help some more!

wednesday: my dad called and asked me to stop at the store for him. he gave me his list and I went to pick it up. looking at my cart made me laughing so hard. it’s SO typically my parents! kern’s guava nectar, brown & serve sausages, buddig lunch meats, henry weinhard’s beer, and broccoli and cauliflower. these things are all staples in my parents’ fridge and have been for as long as I can remember.

also wednesday: finally took layla and micah to target to pick out some valentines. they got right to work as soon as we got home. micah chose star wars valentines, that had mini glow sticks (lightsabers) that went with them. layla went with truth or dare valentines and stuck a hershey kiss to them.

friday: happy valentine’s day! dave left little treats for the kids to find in the morning. layla got a rose. she was so excited!

also friday: dave and I had a romantic night out planned for weeks! reservations at daniel’s broiler for dinner, then we went for drinks at the hard rock café, walked down to the waterfront and rode on the great wheel, then stopped at one more downtown bar before heading home. we had such a fun night! can’t wait for next month’s date night!

a couple of skinny extras:

the reason I will wind up in the looney bin and…

the crazy hex-tile stripes on the floor of the ladies’ room in daniel’s. I swear they put it there just to mess with people who have had too much wine.

what I wore wednesday

iiiiiiiiiiiiiit’s wednesday again!!! which means it’s time for me to brag about all of my incredibly well-thought out and likely expensive fashion endeavors prove to the world that I didn’t wear jammies all week. well, not all week… wednesday: tank: old navy, thrifted cardigan: handmedown jeans: thrifted flip flops: kohls earrings: target scarf: thrifted I was SO excited to find this scarf! it’s gorgeous! very silvery and shimmery, the blue flowers and so cute, AND it’s short! for somebody like me, who is of the not-so-tall persuasion, really long scarfs (or even standard length scarfs) can sometimes be a little overwhelming. you know? it’s like, “how many times can I wrap this thing around my neck before you can’t see my head anymore?” at any rate, this one is awesome and I love it and expect to see it on me a lot! I also found the process of trying to take a picture to be quite entertaining. I have a ‘people dog’, meaning, wherever her people are, that is where she th...

finally!

here are layla’s curtains! actually up on the window! i have to say i’m quite pleased with myself for actually getting this done. but i have to give credit where credit is due… so thanks to my MIL for going to the fabric store w/ me and helping me with measurements and all that. AND, thanks to debbie for letting me use her sewing machine and for ironing all the hems for me! YAY!!!!

i’m sure i will offend all sorts people with this…

… but i just don’t get why the entire world is so torn up about the death of michael jackson. yes, he had an insanely successful career as a singer/entertainer/pop star. yes, he took a lot of that to a whole new level. yes, i remember thriller and doing the moonwalk. yes, i remember wanting one of those red leather jackets, and one of those sparkly white gloves. however… i’m also wondering why everyone else is seeming to forget how he bleached his skin (and then had a big hit stating that it doesn’t matter if you’re black or white… always wondered about that one), underwent so much plastic surgery that he barely looked human anymore, made crotch-grabbing an acceptable dance move, hung his kid over a balcony, showed up for court in his pajamas, and, oh yeah, was accused of child molestation HOW MANY TIMES??? this was a VERY disturbed man. i have never understood why being a celebrity excuses people from upholding the same morals and standards that we expect of normal people. i w...

for my not-so-american friends

i didn't have an actual roll w/ the green plaid on it, but i found a refill and an empty roll in my junk drawer (yeah, i know, that should tell me something). but even the empty one says 'scotch' on it. there you go! SCOTCH TAPE!

today rocks

give me a sunny, warm day and i’m happy, pretty much, whatever the day brings. so a sunny day that started with sitting out in the sun with friends, knitting, is just over the top fabulous! yes, i realize i am easily pleased. i’ve actually gotten a lot done since getting home as well. not that you can tell. i just love this phenomenon that goes along with having children. while i’m busy cleaning one part of the house, they’re busy trashing another. it is physically impossible for my entire house to be clean all at once. but oh well, right now i have clean bathrooms, and although the living room is cluttered with toys and other kid paraphernalia, it has been dusted and is about to be vacuumed. sigh. speaking of sigh… well, actually, si , the boys are planning a hike up mt. si on saturday. we’re looking forward to nolan coming up tomorrow evening for a visit. they will be doing this on saturday while layla and i go to a birthday party. then on sunday, we’ll be spending the afternoon at ...
