oh wednesday

It's cold. It's cloudy. It's raining.

I'm sick with some weird chest cold thing that creeped up on me out of nowhere.

I'm contemplating whether I should watch season 6 or 7 of friends while I type up more of my favorite recipes for my recipe box.

Oh and I saw this pic online and I drooled a bit. I kinda want the one on the left cuz it has caramel swirls on it...

bring me one?

late night thoughts

I've been meaning to blog for a few days now. I even have a post started with pictures and everything....but for now I will just share some randomness that is in my brain and needs to come out....

I left the house today for the first time since Sunday. (Brutal!!) We had a snow/ice storm thing that left road conditions treacherous and made venturing out impossible. By this morning I was soo ready to get out and do something, so we decided to go see our grandma. We cleaned up best we could (we didn't have electricity or much water...hence the hats).

Sarah n I very happy to be out of the house & holding Starbucks!

My grandma's favorite place to eat is Panera Bread, so we went there for lunch then spent at least an hour at a craft store where I got some pretty sweet supplies (posts about these things will come soon!) then we went to the thrift store where my grandma volunteers and I bought a mustard yellow rug and a red coat for $6...I can't believe I didn't like thrifting till just this year!! goodness....I paid as much for the coat as I sometimes do for a coffee at Starbucks...

I made this tonight:
I'm calling it a "treasure" box...cuz it's too small to hold recipes....haha...so I just need to find some treasures to put in my box. My inspiration came from Jami @ colourherhope.com.

I am starting Chalene Johnson's 30 day challenge tomorrow. I'm excited to get back into a routine of eating healthy and working out...my body feels like trash because i've been eating like trash. ick.

hmm..let's see...what else?

I'm going to read through the bible in the year...however I am 8 days behind on my reading plan (I think)...I need to catch up tomorrow...

I hadn't used a sewing machine since high school until just last week. Since then I've made an apron, two pillowcases & a curtain for outside my shower...I should post pictures..

I'm excited to sleep. So this is it for this post. Until next time!
