Wordless Wednesday~Pinterest faves for the week

My Simpler Life website

It's that time of year again that everyone is trying to get organized. I usually do it in the Spring & Fall & in January. I found this website that has a calendar that you can print. Each day it has a few things that you can organize. Just quick ideas. I printed January & Feb out. I have January hanging on my bulletin board in my office. I try to read them each day & do what it says. It's kind of fun. Here is the site: My Simpler Life

Pirate cannonballs recipe

I got the Picture Me cooking book last Christmas. I decided to start making some new recipes from the book. We made about 4 or 5 of them last year. We made these pirate cannonballs today & they were awesome. We didn't have any powdered sugar because we used it up when we made the cookies for the cookie swap, but they still tasted so good even without that.

Wedding in Virginia

This August we will be going to VA to go to my friend Peg's wedding. I'm really excited to see her & other friends & family that I haven't seen for a while. Tara & I are going to be in the wedding. I've never been in a wedding other than my own. It will be on the beach & I'm sure really beautiful. Below is a pic of us from 2006 in Atlantic city. I met her on Myspace in 2003.

Pinterest purple

I've always loved purple, but recently I have realized that it is my favorite color. My faves are also blue & pink (all shades). These are some of my fave purple photos from Pinterest.

New year, new hair

Today I went & had my hair trimmed & the girl asked if I wanted my hair to cascade down instead, of hanging straight down. I had bangs cut a few years ago & they are still growing out, so she trimmed some hair longer than them, so it's sort of layered (not sure if that makes sense). She said she was only going to trim 1 & 3/4 inches off the back, but it looks a lot shorter than that. So I'm bummed out & I do this everytime. My regular hair stylest left my place last Summer & I went to a girl at Walmart in Oct or Nov & she cut my hair really crooked. So this girl fixed it, I guess. I think I will stick with this girl now. Once I find someone, I try to always go to the same one.


You can sort of see the different layers in this photo.

My word for 2012

Is "Positive". I want to try to be more positive & look at the bright (positive) side of things. Find something good, in something that is not so good.

New Year's eve photos

Last night we were suppose to go to a restaurant called Pochitos, but I found out that they closed down. We ended up at Margaritas. I really don't like that place at all, but we still had fun with our friends.

We let Tara stay up till midnight. I wasn't sure if she would make it, but she did. She's already asking to stay up next year till Midnight. We'll see.
