Venting Session

I would like to yell because people frustrate me.  How the h*** does someone have the audacity to think their s*** does not stink and point out mistakes others make, but in turn cannot see that they know jack s***???  Please, someone, explain it to me!  I am the first to admit that I hate to make mistakes; however if someone shows me what I did wrong I will take it, fix it and never make that mistake again.  Some people just cannot grasp the concept of "it's OK to make mistakes" and "you learn from your mistakes."  And to top it all off, their approach is completely wrong and they are tactless and have terrible people skills...and they want to be a manager some day??  WHAT A JOKE!  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Went for a quick walk...I feel better now...Thank you.

Welcome weekend! Enjoy all!

CHEERS! CHEERS! CHEERS!  (the weekend deserves 3 cheers)

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

I came across this website called The Daily Green and was totally excited about it!  I am not one who is all into this "Go Green" stuff; however I am not against it either.  I do what I can in my own day to day life (recycle bottles, paper, reuse bags, etc).  There are tons of different articles to click on, anything from news, tips & advice, green living to new green cuisine and weird weather watch!  Being a storm chaser at heart, the weird weather watch definitely caught my eye. 

As I was browsing I saw a link for 30 Great Green Gifts for Under $20.  Well who doesn't like finding different, neat, unique gifts to give someone without spending an arm and a leg? I don't see anyone raising their hand, so you should probably check this out.  I've included some pictures of a few gifts I found that perhaps some of you might just be receiving.  The "Circuit board Business Card Case" is classic, since my fiance is a computer geek!  Christmas gift is blinking in my head.  I also did a little more looking and browsed one of my favorite stores...Barnes and Noble!  The 100% recycled "D" note cards are perfect for all those Thank You notes I will be writing.  And how can anyone go wrong with buying a jar of your local honey, putting it in a basket with a beautiful cloth napkin, some different teas and perhaps a nice homemade treat?  Enjoy these great ideas and please let me know of any online stores you might have come across with unique gifts, such as these.  Cheers!

Falling into Autumn

I woke up this morning to a chilling 49 degrees and I loved it!  This time of year makes me so happy.  The brisk, cool air, the sun shining, the leaves changing.  I can wear a comfy pair of jeans, cute sweater and flip flops and I'm good as gold!  Perfect.

What better way to start off this fabulous day then with some jewelry?  I thought I would look for some inspirations or ideas for some new pieces to add to my massively growing jewelry collection.  How can you go wrong with a beautiful necklace?  Stunning cuff bracelet?  Gorgeous ring?  Phenomenal brooch?  Well, easy, you can't!  Enjoy these few pieces I came across and please let me know of any unique, cool pieces or shops you see!  Cheers!

Mmmm Carrot Cake Cupcakes

Back to my trusty website of AllRecipes.com!  I am in love with carrot cake, carrot cake cupcakes, carrots dipped in ranch dressing!  You name it, I love it.  Since we are getting to that time of year where there is a brisk feeling in the air and you want to hop on a tractor and go for a hay ride, while picking apples, let's talk food!  Check out this delightful recipe for  Fluffy Carrot Muffins with Cream Cheese Frosting ,  yeah, delightful!  On that note, I need to run to the store!!!  I have some baking to do.  Cheers!

It's been awhile, but I wanted to share...

I am the incredible disappearing girl!  Sorry...but, I'm back!  Well, I'm back until I go on my honeymoon and start my new job and move and be married (not in that order, obviously.)  I wanted to share another blog with you.  It is one that a friend of mine, Yvonne, is a part of it and I think it is a beautiful, art filled, crafty blog!  Everyone should check it out and become a follower!  http://everybuddydreams.blogspot.com/ 

While you are at it...you should become a follower of my blog too!  What am I, chopped liver?? Geez people.  Enjoy!  Cheers!
