Home from Camping...

     i am home and clean.  It sure wasnt easy going back to work today...  I had a great time!  Glad to be home and out of the sand!  Camping at the beach is not for sissies!

One of the highlights of camping for me is making fires.  This was made very easy by using Crysie's firestarters.  More pictures soon, but this is my favorite!

Number of tin foil dinners:  Just one which is totally weird for me!

Games played:  Two games of celebrity (Elvis was only in there once, but Hotel was not used as the hint...) and helped with the puzzles edge, its all I have the patience for... 

Best:  Splashing in the ocean with my rain boots and fire jenga!

Worst:  Sand.  Lots and lots and lots and lots of sand...  /shivers

How was your weekend?  

Gone Camping!

See ya Sunday! Have a great weekend! :D

What You Missed: My Birthday Cake and the Sharks That Ate it

     my birthday was in June.  I turned 29...  I still havent decided how I feel about that number.  Either way every year I have a picnic in the park to celebrate.  We have a bbq and people bring side dishes.  Its lots of fun.  After we play volleyball till it gets dark.  We arent very good, but it is always amusing.  I end up with sore abs from laughing and bruises on my hands for hitting the ball, not that I hit it much...  This year I made a vegan chocolate cake from a box with dark chocolate frosting that I melted over dark chocolate chips.  I am not a super big fan of chocolate, but my cakes always end up super chocolaty, dont know why.  This year three sharks showed up and tried to eat it!  

They were super scary and a gift from my mother.  I love her!

Hours worked:  11, I came in late on Tuesday had to make up some hours, but 11 is a bit much!

Readiness for camping:  0%  Not really, I did laundry and I have some food ready, but still no list.

Redness of hair:  Very little.  Henna sucks.  It fades so crazy fast!  I just redid it a month ago!

Create:  None, but I did make a great salad of mixed home grown tomatoes from a friend.  Our tomatoes didnt make it this year...

What is your favorite birthday cake?

What You Missed: The New Male in My Life and My New Office.

      there is a new guy in my life.  His name is Bob and he lives on my desk in my office at work!  I love him!  He was gift from my coworkers.  His tank looks so bare, I have since added a live plant that flowers and has take over!  He watches me work and swims to the surface when I feed him.  He defiantly brightens my days!

And now a tour of my office the first day of my promotion.  I should take new pictures, it looks so diffident now!  Sorry they are blurry, I was excited!  

I totally deserve all the confetti!  I have messed up many many many others work spaces for birthdays and anniversaries!  Pay back is a bitch!

These are the most beautiful flowers I have every been gifted with!  It was so nice that my birthday fell on the same week!  I got lots of pretties for my office!

Another gift!  :)

Regret:  Yesterday, eating Thai food that was too hot for me, but I ate anyway cause I was that hungry!

To Do List:  1.)  Make a to do list...  I have my premade camping list done, but I need a food list for this trip.  

Love:  The many bracelets my dear friend Andrea gave me.  I jingled all over the office today!

Movie:  ParaNorman.  I saw 6 names I knew!  

Create:  Nothing, I had good ideas for jalapeno popcorn.  yumm

What have I missed with you?  Seen any good movies?

Dont call it a comeback...

      hello friends!  Remember me?  I totally dropped off the map...  School was nuts and then I got a promotion at work and then there was summer.  Summer has been amazing so far!  I cant believe it is Septembers...  Time flies when you are having fun.  This summer has been, camping, camping, camping, floating in inner tubes with bags of wine, sunburns, learning a new job, my birthday(!!! I am 29 now...), boys, bbqs, volleyball, watermelon, bonfires, beach trips, new friends, gluten free fun and most recently a craft bazaar!

I took last Friday off work for a Quilt Show that my mother and I had a booth at.  It was an interesting show, our first, but not last this year!  Not many visitors and not many looking for scarves!  

My mother and I in our hiding place, we didnt get much space so we had to sit next to our stuff.  The scarves are hanging on a "ladder" we made out of PVC pipe.  It turned out pretty awesome if I do say so myself!

Front of our booth.  Pretty bare, but I didnt make anything new for this show cause I didnt get the bezels I ordered till a few days before.  Not enough time to cure. 

After looking at these pictures I am wishing I had put the blue scarves on the right not the left..  Live and learn.  My mom is so cute and proud!  She is the best little sales lady ever!  She was even bragging on Melissa's rings!  Ps her set up was awesome!  Its makes the shows more fun to have someone fun to sit with!

Since it is Sunday here is a salad I got at the show.  Each day they had lunch you could get for a donation.  It was soup, salad and buiscuts.  All homemade.  I couldnt eat any of it!  The salad they had out had cheese in it, but one of the sweet volenteers made me a special salad!  She even added blueberries.  I have never had blueberries in a salad, but I loved it!

Blog Missing Level:  8, I cant get busy and stop again!

Productivity:  I watched the Ravens game (we lost... sad day...) with a mud mask on and made some chopped salads.  Trying better to get ahead for the week.  Did not do laundry.  Oops...

Excited for:  Camping!!!  My last trip of the summer and we leave Friday!  

Create:  I totally forgot about these goals but I need to start up again!

How was your summer?  Did you miss me?
