Good Morning....

Hello Out there in blog land...I do believe it is ACTUALLY spring.  It has been sunny for more then 2 days in a row AND the pollen is covering my vehicle.  I have some pics to share with you guys of THINGS I have been doing...don't get excited I haven't done THAT much because of the MOOD I have been in that I mentioned in my previous post .  But first can I just vent for a minute? Let me start out by saying I am 45 almost 46 years old.  Normally over the years I have taken my car through the car wash rather then hand wash it at home because well because it's easier and I am not exactly outdoorsy.  However, I am currently driving my father's SUV because well my SUV is at death's door after just about 279,000 miles she has had a good run and deserves to be put to rest ( or at least sold or traded in for an update)! ANYWAY back to my rant I feel like I have to keep this truck cleaner then I normally would because I would never want my dad to think I wasn't taking care of it the way he would....SO I have taken it through the car wash a few times (on the few sunny days we had last month!) and seriously it didn't REALLY get clean...it looked almost as dirty after my $15.00 as it did before! I mean if I had paid $4.00 maybe I wouldn't feel quite as bad but I mean COME ON!!! SO now on to my REAL rant...yesterday it was beautiful out ...I mean sunny & warm...so I figured when I got home from work I would wash the truck....I called my husband and asked him if there was a bucket buried in the garage anywhere I could use?...OKAY here come the 50 questions...Husband: What do you need a bucket for?  ME: I am going to wash the truck.  Husband: What do you mean? What are you going to use to wash it?  Me: Dish soap.  Husband: You CAN"T use dish soap! Me: Why not that's what we used when I was younger? Husband: You can't use dish soap look in the garage for car wash I think there is some in there.  Me: Ok whatever...do we have a bucket?  Husband: Listen there is a little beige bucket in the garage with some rags in it.  ME: Ok Husband: Ok now when you take the stuff out of the bucket put some car wash in it and you have to start by rinsing the car off first and then you use the brush to start scrubbing...blah blah blah blah....ME: Are you seriously telling me how to wash the truck???? Husband: Yes. Me: Goodbye. "Click"  I mean SERIOUSLY I KNOW how to wash a car!!!! I couldn't believe it!!!  THEN he calls back... Husband: when you.. Me: (interrupting) I'm not washing the car forget it.  Husband: Oh Ok I'll just do it when I get home. (no he didn't but he claims he will do it today).  People sometimes wonder why I don't do anything to my yard.....it is because I live with the OUTDOOR police.... It's just easier inside ALTHOUGH he often thinks he should tell me how to do things in there too...see I'm not REALLY lazy I just can't deal with being corrected......Whew! There I'm done ranting.  :o)

 This is the owl purse I made for my niece Madison.  I have another I'm making in all pink for my niece Rebecca.  Aren't they cute?  I got the pattern on etsy from Angels Chest it was SO easy to follow!

This is the blanket i am working on for my daughter.  I am hoping to get it done by her birthday that is 3 weeks from tomorrow.  We will see if I get motivated!  The colors are a bright yellow and teal SO cute!

 These are Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownies they were DELICIOUS.  I found the recipe at A Few Short Cuts.  A great blog with all kinds of recipes and coupons and deals!

 This is the poster I made for little Olivia.  I was going to make her a card but it just didn't seem like enough SO I whipped together this a couple hours before we left for the party! The purple and green flowers and the orange butterfly on the side are crocheted by me with hair clips attached that she can wear that way or slip off the clip and put them on a headband.  She LOVED it!!!

This is my niece Melissa(left) and my daughter Francesca(right) I just put them here because they are just so darn cute! :o)

Well that's all for today....off to do laundry (I don't get reviewed on my laundry skills...lol).  Hopefully I'll be posting again soon!!! Have a Great Day!!!
