Instafriday

  

I seriously wanted to arrange these pictures in a nice

little compact square...but I'm apparently old as dirt and

can't figure out computers anymore.

Geez. I'm turning into my mother.

Ah-ha!

SUCCESS!!

I win...take that technology!

(do you like how proud I am of doing

something that millions of bloggers

figured out a long time ago??)

The first two pictures are what happened

yesterday....after I completely slept through my

dermatology appointment, which, btw...

seriously needed to happen so I was pissed...

Anyways, I rallied and made a trip to Suburban lawn and garden 

where I spent WAY too much money, 

but I got a bunch of flowers that I'm very excited about.

Perhaps you remember this post where

I explained my love/hate relationship with plants....

I say love/hate because I love the way they look,

but they hate me and often commit plant suicide

by dying at obscenely fast rates....

(P.S. all but ONE of those mums I planted died)

But anyhoo, 

They're currently looking fabulous and I've

threatened the chipmunk that lives under our front

porch with rat poison if he even thinks about munching

on my flower-babies!!!

Roy was super impressed and surprised when

he got home and saw the new and improved

abode...he didn't even bawk when I told 

him how much I'd spent!! SCORE!

Pic #3 is of the continued crafting that is

still occurring on a daily basis around here.

I seem to have hopefully fixed my sewing

machine snafu (fingers crossed).

Thanks Rachael for teaching me how to

make these super-cute paper streamers!!

They're looking adorable if I do say so myself...

Pic #4 is of my lovely mama.

She came over early this morning and we

headed out to do one of our favorite things...

garage sale-ing!!!

We're pro's. 

We don't mess around.

We can size up a garage sale in one glance

 at 35 miles an hour while eating giant cupcakes...

It's true. It happened.

(P.S. If you haven't ever had an orange

creamsicle cupcake...I just feel sorry for you)

Bonus, it's the day before her birthday...

her last day in her 50's! Eeek!

When and how did my mom become 60 years old?

So we were needing a reason to celebrate & have fun!

Thankfully, despite quickly approaching her 60's 

and despite the un-godly amount of baby supplies seen at everysinglefreakinggaragesalewewentto....

she didn't harass me too much today about having a baby,

which was very much appreciated!

Her big birthday party is tomorrow and I got

her Shutterfly book in the mail this afternoon!

Talk about being just in the nick of time...

Stay tuned for pictures 

 from the party that she's calling the

'It's too late to die young now' 

Celebration

Oh, that Janet, She's a nut.
