I never promised you a rose garden...

I beg your pardon????? I understand full use of kleenex, of needing them of using them. On the other hand, I don't claim to be green. I try, I fail, I try again but I don't put it on my blog as my namesake as my effort.... this really ticks me off, I liked Betz White, I feel as if she's sold out... Kleenex?? Really???

I am not sure...

I am not sure if I could love this blog anymore.. It's such a great great thing for so many.



I am not sure if I have the time to make the things they make but I love this quilt.

I am not sure how much more madness I can handle in my life.

I am not sure what we are going to do for Christmas this year.

I am not sure if I am going to keep selling Tupperare, depends on how Melissa's party goes.

I am not sure if I believe in the whole "everything comes in 3's" but we've had 2 deaths, and I am not sure how long that lasts, if there's a time limit but I hate that.

I am not sure why we got cable, well satalite, but still, I am not exactly sure, but the people love it.

I am not sure why I LOVE Ace of Cakes but it's an addiction, I mean if there were a mid week I may take off work to watch it... ALONE!!!

I am not sure if anyone else knows that my kid is the cutest on earth, but she should be napping right now and is singing a song about jump(ing) and "ma" which makes it better.

I am not sure I have much more to say now... oh ya.
Prayers/positive energy/thoughts/ love for my neighbors who lost their grand/father/in-law. Prayers for a friend who found out she's pregnant with conjoined twins, for those I know in messy divorces, and any one else you can think of that needs it.

WARNING... possibly too pittiful to watch!! WARNING!!

we are trying to instill good manors and behaviors at home... Now that T is starting to talk, here is where we are now...



*she says "help, help please!"
I thought she wanted the cookies I thought I hid, but she wanted the really annoying hammer... I thought I hid.

I wanna I wanna I wanna

I wanna make my own Luna bars from here and I wanna make my own CLIF bars from here and with all our apples I am going to make some fruit leather from here

I also want to make some of this colored rice and other projects for under $10 for T so she can play with it.. and make a huge mess I am not sure where yet.

I've yet to finish my pie in a jar. I am having some technical difficulty in the jar department. gulp

City Wide Garage Sale

Today was our citywide garage sale. I love it... I love it every year twice a year when it's here. I love the idea of a bargain, and hunting for that bargain, I used to have a partner but shes not been around so I now go alone. Going alone has some great factors, 1. no sharing :) 2. being able to leave when you want, 3. listening to whatever I want on the radio These are not all bonus items that I really need, but all in all, it's a good time.
I did find some great deals, I didn't get my bagel, I got coffee from starbucks and a pumpkin scone, it was AWESOMEEEE... I am more and more disappointed in Starbucks these days, I can't stand it.
Either or, I got some of the greatest deals before I even left my street.
Unfortunately, my camera is dead so I am going to try to find photo's online to show you. I don't have the vanity above, I have one way older but I can't find a photo of it, but the seat is close to the base of the one above and it's all attached as one. The second thing I got was the baby carrier, but ours is yellow not pink.
So, this is before I even left the subdivision. The most fun for me right now is trying to find a picture of the next item I found without laughing so hard at the other photos I am finding.
We got a cabbage patch kid. Shes normal, brown hair red and blue outfit. Cute... got a few other things.
I wondered around and changed things up a bit on my normal route, so I went to afew horrible sales and then gave up and saw a guy with bikes piled up all over his truck and some toys and furnature and so I walked up and asked him how much this was


I love this truck and it came home as a huge hit!! It was only $10 and a pack of almonds :) that was a bonus, he probably got it for less which is great for him but ten dollars is a great deal all on it's own. I got some other things but here's the excitement of the day..




I love garage sales.......
