Cute cupcake labels

I ordered these cute cupcake labels from Vista print & they came on Saturday. They're really cute. I love pink, purple, cupcakes & hearts.




Finally got internet back

We had a rain/wind storm Thursday night & lost power. We got heat, water & electricity back Friday afternoon. But still had no cable, internet or phone till this afternoon. We went out & it was back on when we got home. It sux. I have so many e mails to catch up with. I had 117 aol e mails & 424 g mail (plus 300+ spam messages to go thru'). I missed Friday follow & was also going to post a blog about my 2 year blog anni on Friday.

Funny things people say

My hubby says Upside right as the opposite of Upside down
IHOPS instead of IHOP. (It drives me crazy)
Toasted cheese instead of grilled cheese
Chick-cago instead of Chicago
My Mom says Cheeri-oats instead of cheerios

I also hate it when people say uge instead of huge.

Tuesday To-do list

1st of all, I'm sorry I didn't post yesterday. I woke up with another BAD headache (It's always a Monday, not sure why) & spent the day on the couch & then napped when T napped. The headache last all day till I went to bed.

To-do list
1) Decide if we're going to Montreal or not
2) Decide if T is coming with us to Montreal or if my parents are going to stay @ our house with her for 2 days
3) Get passport renewed & get Tara 1 if she is coming with us
4) Get hair trimmed
5) Get hubby to come with me to get our hair trimmed
6) Print photos & get pages ready for our crop soon

p.s. I'm still catching up on comments & Friday follows.

Dear Lizzy products

Last night I ordered these items below from the Dear Lizzy line. Anyone who knows me knows that she (Liz Kartchner) is my scrapping idol. I can't wait for the stuff to come. I haven't had any time to scrapbook lately. My goal for this year was to do at least 1 scrap page a week, but that hasn't happened. I'm hoping to use all of these right away when they come.

Station nightclub fire anniversary

Today is the 7 year anniversary of the Station nightclub fire. Hard to believe that it's been that long. I had been to that club 3x. It was 1 of my faves. My ex-roomie & I went there together. She moved away the Summer of 2002 (back home to MI). Her b-day is today & if she still lived here we might have been there that night. I don't think you can understand unless you had been to that club (even worse if you were there that night & survived). I can picture what it looked like inside. When I see footage of that night I still feel sick to my stomache. I'm hoping to someday go to the spot where the club use to stand & were they have a memorial. I don't think I'm ready for that just yet.

Mom's night out

Tonight I am going to a Mom's night out, (after hosing a playdate @ our house today & making quesadillas). I haven't been to 1 in a long time. Well this is my 1st official Mom's night out. I just wish Mom's nights weren't at night. I'm not sure how long I can stay up. We're doing a wine tasting party. I'm not big on wine & we are all suppose to bring a bottle of wine. So I'm bringing pretty much the only wine that I drink Beringers White Zin. Unfortunely it's also the cheapest wine that you can get. So I won't be drinking too much tonight. T has a dance demo class in the morning.

Just great

I got this shirt back in January. I haven't worn it yet & was saving it to wear for our Valentine's dinner out tonight. There's a security tag if you look down on the bottom right side. Great. I'll have to bring it back to Kohls when I get a chence & have it removed. Not sure if there is a way to remove it without the ink squirting out all over it.

Yum of the day


I got 3 choc bars from my Valentine swap partner. It looks like it's only available in CA. Here is some info on it.


We created FLING™ Chocolate to celebrate the female spirit – the unapologetically feminine playful, naughty, flirtatious, and alluring nature that brings shimmer into the world.
FLING™ Chocolate is a sweet, light truffle on a subtle crisp layer enrobed in shimmering chocolate that's as glamorous as you are. At under 85 calories per chocolate stick, it's slim, but not skinny. Indulgent but not greedy. Naughty but nice.
So let yourself go! Have FLING™ Chocolate in private, or wave it all around town; in the office, the bedroom, or the great outdoors. It's also a way of living. FLING™ Chocolate women are spontaneous – and when we find something good, we share it.
The FLING™ Chocolate community has started in California, but you can be a part of it no matter where you are. The FLING™ Chocolate spirit is universal. So go ahead and be naughty…but not that naughty™.

Mini apple pies

I'm home sick with a bad cold today (sniff sniff sneeze), so I figured T & I would make some mini apple pies. She really wasn't too into it, even though she really likes baking. They came out cute, but weren't that great. I don't think I'll make them again.

Fun on the ice

Our town had a thing on our pond today called Ice fest. We got there late (hubby went to have our taxes done this morning). So there wasn't much there. They had a chilli cookoff, but we missed it. It was T's 1st time on the ice. We didn't stay long because it was only 21 degrees out. I'm still frozen & we've been home for like an hr & 1/2.


Never seen people coloring ice before.

cookies

I saw these cookies in the grocery store recently. They should be chocolate with the name Kimberley. If you look carefully below that is an Aero chocolate bar. I've had them before when we were in Canada & they're really good. They remind me of an old candy bar we use to have when I was a kid. I might have to buy 1 soon even though they cost like $1.75 each.
