it’s the first day in a while that we didn’t have an agenda. no plans. no work that had to be done. so, i sat with my coffee this morning and worked on the crossword. i ate cinnamon rolls and fruit salad. i made pizza for lunch and we are going to watch the super bowl commercials – which means we will end up “watching” the game too.

i’ll be back tomorrow with my favorite commercial.
i hope you get to have a lazy sunday too!

here’s the before:

and the after:

needless to say, the kids had a blast eating dinner and asked when they could have it again. (we rarely ever have hotdogs, so this was quite a treat.)

have a great weekend!

anyway…enough talk about the blog and back to actually blogging.
today was a random day filled with a little bit of everything.
starting with coffee (duh.) – hers & his.

then taking kids to school.
dishes.
work.
laundry.
more work.
fold laundry.
pick up one kid.
eat lunch.
fold more laundry.
pick up the other kid.
trip to the $1 store.
homework.
dinner. (by the way – this is my view each night at dinner time.)

getting baths ready as we speak and looking forward to a quiet house in about an hour. busy day tomorrow. how about you?

so, stella has become completely obsessed with she-ra. it’s on qubo. she watches it non-stop. it is her program of choice if she wants to watch netflix. she has memorized the opening to she-ra and recites it all. day. long.

well, at least i can say she’s not obsessed with something more obnoxious – like barney.
“for the honor of greyskull!”

the problem i’m having now is what to do with the photography site. i really want to have a nice looking gallery to send potential clients to, but not something over-done. for now, i’m busy putting watermarks on the photos i plan to showcase.

i’m taking advantage of picnik while i can. in case no one noticed, they are closing the site down in april. so sad. i love picnik for quick photo edits. sigh.

so, stick with me as i try to figure all this out. for some reason, i’m just not feeling it. maybe i should go eat a cupcake and figure it out.

happy sunday everyone!

sweet mullet…we just can’t have that.

what you can’t see here is that she cut up underneath the longer layers behind her ears. perfect.

off to supercuts we went and i said a little prayer on the way that we would get someone that knew just what to do.

i think things worked out just fine and my little stella (a.k.a posh spice) has a new bounce to her step.

p.s. sorry for the crudy photos…they are from my phone.

cone of shame.

she got super excited one evening and tried to jump on the back of the couch, but missed. landed hard on the wood floor. then decided she didn’t need to use that leg anymore and that 3 would be just fine.

called the vet, they said: “bring her in and we’ll charge you $480 to tell you that it’s just a sprain and we’ll wrap her up and send her home.” ok, maybe they didn’t say that _exactly_. but close.

sigh.

this is one very cute and very expensive pup.

i have convinced myself that loving this cereal is ok because it is cheerios.

yes, they are chocolate cheerios, but they are made with whole grains. that makes it ok, right? right?? is this thing on?

lots to do today and i’m just feeling bleh. i’m thinking an afternoon coffee is going to be in order.

we’ve been through a lot of life-changing roller coaster events lately.

i got a wonderful new flash for christmas and haven’t had any time to try it out. this makes me sad. i experimented with a few photos on christmas day, but don’t quite have the hang of it.

shooting with a flash is just so foreign to me.

the hubby got a new job, quit said new job and turned right around and got another new job. he was only unemployed for 3 days! i feel incredibly blessed.

schedules are getting busier but that also means spring is in the air. love that!

more to come soon. for now i’ll leave you with this photo of stella after a birthday party (princess themed.) this is kinda how i feel today.
