wishful sprinking!

Its still been cold out!  mother nature is all kinds of messed up I think.  It was only like 46 yesterday... and that's how its been for a while.  I just checked the weather and it looks like about 57 for today.. still kind of cool.. but I'll take it.  lol.. like we have a choice!

Actually the forecast I just looked at shows improvement through the week and in the 60's for the weekend.. with sunshine..  so I guess I cant complain about that!

Ive been springifying little corners of my house. nothing extravagant.  really, I have a bunch of junk and I have strewn it about the house.  I would love to be on one of those shows where they fix up and decorate your house like a normal person.   I am incapable of normal.  there is no normal for my house.. its just in a constant state of stuff..  or should I say stuffed!

I try to not over do it.. but maybe my version of overdone and other peoples versions are not the same.  and I suppose it does depend on the time of year.  I may go a little overboard for Halloween!  and Christmas!  I always say I'm going to cut back and not do so much.. but something within me takes over and I cant help myself.   

Anyways.. its not too much right now. in fact its not much at all.  just a few birds, nests and shrooms scattered here and there!

I haven't played at my craft table since several weeks before Easter and I was feeling the need to make something!  I finally managed to get there on Saturday and made these cute little pompom birdies for mothers day.  just pompoms!   aren't they cute?  I made a bunch more in case I get inspired to make something for the girls for mothers day...   we'll see.

OK.. I guess that's it for this morning.  I know Ive been a lousy blogger lately.  there are days that I consider giving it up all together.  but I would miss all my bloggy pals!  so eventually I come back! 

have a great day bloggy pies!

friday morning chit chat

I hate when I get obsessed about something.  Walmart .com has these giant garden mushrooms..   I am feeling like I need to have them all.  They are not cheap.

If I could just choose one of them...    but I want them all.  The question is..  will I do it?  lol!   I might!  Im considering it.  maybe I'll buy two and then see if I still feel like I need the other.  Remember when I wanted the jar of easter candy at homegoods and I was so obsessed about it?  I over came that and didnt go buy it!  LOL!  but this feels different! lol...

Then there's these cute little mushroom stools.. which I feel like I need 4 of and a little table to go with them for my pies.  but I wonder why they dont have a table to go with them.  I suppose I could make one.   how cute it would be with a little mushroom umbrella!  

Walmart also has lots of gnomes.  If you like gnomes.  I dont have any.. but it might be cute to have one hanging around with the mushrooms if I buy them.  I love Kim Kenwards little gnomes and gnome house that she has in her yard, so stinking cute! And of course she decorates it for every holiday!  (I love that kimmie!)

In other news..  I am feeling like packing easter up.. maybe this weekend.   And Im also dying to get creative.  I have a little bird and mouse taking up space in my brain, needing to come out! lol!  but I really dont know when that will happen.  I also have bear orders to work on and grandpies to see and a new one coming on tuesday!

 Im on call this weekend til next friday.  I used to not mind being on call once in a while, but I have lost the zest for it. Too many hours the last few times I was on.... makes my head spin!   I cant do that anymore, too old for it or something!  I shall persevere though the next bunch of times I'm on, but next time around, Im not signing up for anymore then I have too. Im too tired and have too much to do outside of work! lol!

Im trying to remember how I decorate for spring!  This decorating job gets tougher and tougher every year! lol!  Think I shall go to pinterest for some ideas.  Because if I do manage to find the time to pack up Easter, I will need to do something else right away or my house will be bare naked!  lol!

Well as usual, Ive got to run... need to get ready for work.  

Looks like were in for a beautiful Springy Weekend!  

Have a lovely one bloggy pies and Happy Friday!

home again home again jiggity jig!

I'm Back!  what a wonderful trip.  a little bit of visiting and a whole lot of nothing but relaxing on the ocean.   Every day at the ocean was so fresh and beautiful.  waking up each day with waves crashing right outside of our balcony, waiting for the sun to come up.. was nothing short of heavenly.

We visited my dad and step mom, only for a day, but it was sooooo good to see them.  I love them and miss them so much.  

(those sunrises....  breathtaking!)

I went with my cousin Michelle.  we haven't hung out together since we were kids.  We have always been known to have some pretty good laughs together.. and that never changed.  We laughed so hard a few times we were snorting and tooting!  (I snorted.. she tooted! LOL!) she had Laughing GAS!.  Umm.. she would kill me for telling you that.  but I don't think she knows I have a blog.  lol!  but just in case.... ( Michelle.. it was hysterical...  and I love you cuz!)  Not kidding we laughed so hard one night that I'm surprised someone didn't knock on our door to check on us.  or to tell us to be quiet. SERIOUSLY..  We are both LOUD laughers!

we walked the beach a couple times a day..  I don't know how to explain the feeling I get at the ocean or even at the lake..   its is a total "sigh" .  I do believe that it is the only time and place that I ever fully relax.  and that is exactly what we did.  we both needed it.   just vegging out.. staring off into the ocean, soaking up the warm sunshine.. .while it snowed and was like 28 back here..  it was 75 to 85 there each day.  We could not have picked a better week to go.

we spend a couple nights at my moms.  it rained on Saturday, so we went shopping for alcohol.. lol!  and tried on hats at walmart!  lol!  I think I look a little snobby in this picture! but isn't my mommy cute in the pic below with Michelle!?

The survived the flights..  and I can still honestly say, I do not like flying.  not sure when I'll get the nerve up again.  but I'm glad I went.  Our flight out on Friday morning was cancelled.  Supposedly the crew didn't show up..   I don't know about that.  anyways, they put us all up at the Hampton inn for the night, gave us 100.00 vouchers to fly with them again and also an 8.00 food voucher to use at the airport...  you can get an ice tea and a muffin at the airport for 8.00.  lol!   anyways we got home Saturday morning.  It was good to be home!

But I have to admit I miss this view from our balcony every morning.  

When I got home I didn't waste much time in going to visit all my grandpies!  You would think I had been gone for months I couldn't wait to see them all! lol!

and speaking of grandpies....  Our new grand daughter will be coming into this world a week from today..   Tiffany's having a C section next Tuesday morning!  I am so excited to meet my next little princess pie!   no name chosen yet.  

OK.. I guess I should get ready to go to work..   have a lovely day all!
