I can't get "coming around the mountain" out of my mind. It's like one of those phrases like "drop it like its hot" that I really wish I'd never heard


New sewing machine table.  Etsy room done.  Need to shop.  Great food today.  Good workout.  Tim got some games.  Aaron is having fun here.  I don't think I get to spend time with Hannah this weekend.  I need new pics of me Hannah.  The newest ones I have are the ones of us on your b-day!  I'm like 2 sizes smaller now.  Haha.  Good day.  

Boys going to the swap meet tomorrow.  Miya is the best dog ever.  I wanna look cute tomorrow.

If it weren't for Philo T. Farnsworth, inventor of television, we'd still be eating frozen radio dinners.


The farmer's market was kinda dull and really hot.  I wore a cute blue and black striped sweater dress with black footless tights pulled down to my ankles with little maybe 1/2 inch black pointy toe heels.  I loved it.  Hannah said it was loud but she liked it.  Neither Tim nor Aaron made fun of it and Aaron even helped me pick out what shoes to wear.  My family is awesome.


We went to Walmart to pick up some random crap.  Then we came home and Tim and Aaron played some Gears of War.  I made lunch for them which was turkey with lettuce and sliced cheddar with string cheese.  I had a roast beef and cheddar with Arby's sauce, broccoli with ranch, tomatoes and a nectarine.  Way better than fast food.


My Etsy room is almost finished.  I think I get my sewing table tomorrow and then I'll take pictures!  I'm so excited!  :)


Aaron made the most delicious cupcakes ever!  He called me his PIC.  Partner in Crime.  It's awesome to have a brother who doesn't hate you.




Dinner was amazing.  Parmesan chicken nuggets, shells and cheese, and steamed vegetables.  I made some pasta and turkey with the left over vegetables with olive oil and onions and parmesan cheese.


Life is great as usual.



My new favorite giveaway


I'm addicted to them.  These earring in particular are amazing.

I absolutely adore them.  The color combination is awesome and I love how girly they are.  

There are a lot of requirements for this giveaway and I think I like that about it.  I don't really like the ones that you enter just by leaving a comment.  I never remember those giveaways.  

I'm gonna remember this one.  Everyone should enter because it's more fun with competition.

It's shaping up to be a great weekend and it's only Monday.  Big 5 for shoes for my mom, then dollar store, then Baja Taco for the first time!  I'm so excited I could poop.  :)

I ate broccoli with ranch and my brother made fun of me.  He was like "Can you believe she eats that for a snack?"  to Tim.  Weird.  Haha.   I thought it was normal.  I guess it's not that normal.

We watched Jon and Kate's new episode finally!  My mom was trying to ruin it for me because she got to see it first.  "Don't blink" were her final words to me as I was watching it.  It was pretty wow.  It's a real life soap opera played out on tv for everyone to enjoy.  I'm on Jon's side btw.

I took a really great shower.  Finished the box for the giveaway I'm gonna do on my blog.  I hope I can get more than one person to enter.  I will be....it won't be good.  Haha.  

Watching Gears of War late at night with the summer breeze on my cheeks is amazing.  I love my life.  I am so lucky.  I think I might be a math teacher.  But I don't know if I have what it takes.   It sure would make my dad proud.  Something to think about?

Giveaway tomorrow.  Tim and Aaron are going to see a movie.  I'll be home watching Gilmore Girls on DVD with Miya.  Should be fun.  Hannah should write on her blog more.  :)
