Catching up...

We went to the beach! These are the only 3 pictures I took. And I look super gross in each one I'm in. Fantastic.

J. Quinn is such a poser. Not in the 9th grade use of the word that would indicate that she pretends to be someone she's not, but in the literal sense of the word, like she poses for every picture she takes.



Isn't that just beautiful?


Aren't they special?

The night before we left for the beach, Darrell did this.

He left the hot grill to close to the window and it cracked the outside pane. Spectacular.

So he made up for it by getting us this lovely door mat.Just kidding. It was a promotional item his cousin received at his business. That's the good thing about our last name; It's so generic that you can get all kind of freebies like this.


Bff and I lay around some nights trying to think of ways I should decorate.

Then she and Darrell convince me to throw away free art. I think the Tony Bennett print would look better in another frame if it was matted correctly. They thought otherwise and at the end of the night Bff gave Tony a ride to her apt. dumpster.

My little furry one eyed pirate just hangs out and soaks up all the attention.

I've become quite the D.I.Y(er) and made this. Actually, I made 3 of them. And the word "made" = painting and staining. Although, I think that if my husband was brave enough to buy me a staple gun and some wood, I could pull off the construction part of them.


I'm still trying my hand at this cooking thing. This is my latest recipe endeavor, Chicken Roll Ups. I found it in that Any Blonde Can Cook book or something along those lines. It was pretty tasty if I must say so myself. Bff and M. Quinn ate with us and to my knowledge they haven't killed over yet.


And last but not least...
I've developed the smallest of small green thumbs. My potato vine on the back porch wasn't multiplying so well, so i decided to try my hand at rooting.

And it seems to be working! That little white thing is the new root. I'm quite pumped about it!
