I made a Booboo today. And I am really feeling sorry for it. It was just a small stupid thing, but those are the things that can lend us the most grief sometimes. It all started with not being awake and letting my tongue speak before my mind had processed. My DH needed help finding some paperwork this morning.  No big deal. But this was before I had my coffee, cuz i was sleeping in. Now DH

Hello everyone! How are we doing today? Have you been crazy weather for January too?  This past week we have had rain for 3 days that melted off all the snow, then it turned around and froze then snowed! Everything became slick, and quite hazardous for everyone but especially to pregnant women!  However one thing I do love about this kind of weather is how it motivates me to bake and

Hello Everyone! Here I am again... I have not been blogging. Ugh. I know. I left you in such suspense with my last post and I have not followed thru. Bad Amanda. Bad.  Just so you know I have been mentally writing to you this entire time. My Evernote account is full of notes that I have jotted down and actual posts that have not had the chance to see the light of day.  Yes. Yes. You

Hello Everyone!  How was your weekend?  And the start of your week is going well I hope. There is something I have been dying to tell you!  I have been wracking my brain on the best way to share this with you. I wanted to smoothly transition into this. Reveal the news to you in a stylish sleek and even organized way. However much like when I was an awkward teen, I never seemed to

Hello Everyone... My my it has been quite a while hasn't it?? You may recall I wrote about some difficulties that have come up in my life in this post Heart Broken.  These past few months have been about just getting by.  Frankly everything just kicked me in the butt big time. It knocked the wind out of my sails and thus out of a lot of the routines that I did and things I enjoyed.

Hello Everyone, I made a bad decision in my coffee choice last week.  I wanted a change. I thought a little change would be a good thing. I WASN'T really feeling like coffee. Which should have been my first clue. My first clue, that All was not well. Me. Not. Want. Coffee? That is the definition of insanity right there. What I should have done was bought my usual coffee as I always

Hello Everyone, How has your week been? Mine has been another one of surviving. That's what I am doing right now. Just making it from one day to the next. Its all I can ask for at the moment. And I am OK with that. I am living in every moment right now. Its a new feeling, that takes some getting used to. I am doing a lot of knitting. Its very soothing on my soul. I have finished yet another

Hello Everyone... I have not been feeling crazy(not the good kind anyway), nor have I been crafty, and the caffeine is one of the only things that has been keeping me functioning. I have been hibernating. Literally just going thru day to day activities on auto mode. This month has dealt me some pretty hard blows. You know what they say when it rains it pours. Some blows were personal, some

Hello Everyone! I have mail! I love mail and packages! I love to receive them and I love to give them! So you can imagine my delight when the other day my package arrived.  I had some splurge money set aside and I had finally decided on what I wished to spend it on. I guess it was never really a question of what I would get. Can you guess? You got it. It was yarn. Or at least some

Hello Everyone, How is your day going? Mine not too bad. I am currently procrastinating in cleaning my house.  Of course I am justifiying not cleaning at the moment with taking care of much needed things on the computer( like writing to you all). Also I have a strict rule, "No work to be done till the last drop of coffee is gone". Right now I still have a half of a cup so I got time! Course

I am back Everyone!! I am back and it feels great! I feel great!  I feel like I have been away for forever. This last month has just flown right by me! Did this happen to anyone else? Do you feel like July was just a blip and that was it? I am back from a little holiday that Dear Husband and I took last week.  Boy did we need it. We didn't go far. Just to Glenwood Springs. They

Hello Everyone, How are you doing? I hope all is well. All has not been well for me. That is why I have been MIA of late. For that I am sorry.  Lately this statement has been true.  We have been dealt a few lemons that have made us pucker.  Namely with family. Not to long ago we learned that my father in-laws cancer had spread to his bone.  He has been so tired and weak of

Hello everyone, Don't you just love Pinterest? I sure do. It helps get me into the mood, to find my happy place. Some days I know I want to craft something but some times  I haven't got a clue as to what. Then, BANG! Pinterest has some awesome idea that I can not wait to try. There are so many blogs out there that center around making those pins a reality. I just love that! Any who back on

Hello Everyone! Guess who is finally off the needles? That would be The Stockholm Scarf! Remember this project? I gave an update on this project a while ago. I said it was gonna be done. SOON. Then I ran out of yarn. Every knitters nightmare. I miscalculated. You know what is really sad is that I only needed a little bit of yarn to finish the inch to and inch in a half that I had left to do

Hello Everyone! How has your week been?  I have enjoyed having several days off in a row from work. I have taken advantage of the time to get things done. I was so happy when Paint week happen to coincide with my little down time. Sure made it easier for me to participate! I love to paint! I love to paint so much that Dear Husband loves to accuse me of wanting to paint everything. I

One of my favorite parts of You've Got Mail is when Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan are sitting inside of Starbucks and they are talking about her Pen Pal, and the "Tweaking" her pen pal wrote about. Well "Tweaking" is what I have been up to on my Blog. I have learned so much over the last few months about blogging since I first took those baby steps into the blogging world.  I have met a

Dear Internet, I just wanted you to know that you are making me run behind. Your slow sluggish movements have caused my blogreading/coffee drinking morning routine to go into overtime. Now the rest of my day is behind. Maybe its not your fault. Perhaps you have a cold. Maybe you're feeling over worked. Do you  need a reset? A little internet massage to make you feel better? Why coukdn't you

Hello Everyone! I feel calm. Cool. In control. Here it is Monday, with another busy week looming before me, yet I do not feel overwhelmed nor rushed.  I have already taken care of errands and some imprortant business for the week.  I have collected supplies for this weeks projects I plan to accomplish. Now I know that for many of you "glass is half empty " people you are saying wait

Mmmm Cupcakes!!!!!! Yuuuuummmm! Well I meant to get this post up in time to actually link up with the Bloggy Olympics. At this rate do not ask me to be on your team for anything sporty because clearly I am not a very good athletic person. Deep down I have always known this. Thats why I read a lot and blog. Haha. Ask me to be part of a Readathon and I am so there.

Hello Everyone! Doesn't always seem like I write to you midweek? I really am going to have to work on that. Its on my goal list. Any who moving on. I got to do something quite fun yesterday and a first for me.  I went cherry picking. It was so much fun. I could not stop smiling! There is something wonderful about picking your own fruit from an orchard. They taste amazing. And you know

Hello Everyone! Event 1 is now over and Janel from Hating Martha has posted a lovely post doling out awards! And yours truly has been mentioned and given an award. I am so HAPPY! You are looking at the winner of the Silver Medal... ...for the lovely window treatment and window display I made on, as Janel put it, a puny budget. Thank you Janel for the award. I am honored.

Hello Everyone! Its time for the Bloggy Olympics link up! I loved all the posts on Hating Martha this week. They were all wonderful.  I am so excited to be sharing with you my little project! It was a super simple project, but it made a HUGE impact! BEFORE This has been a space in my home that has had me at a stand still for a while. The picture is a little old, taken when we first moved

Hello Everyone! How has your week been? Mine has been like a non stop flight of activity, only with out the relaxing movie or cocktails in which to enjoy my flight with. This is why I have not posted anything this week.  I feel like I have bloggers A.D.D. Is such a thing even possible?? Simply put I feel my mind wanting to go everywhere and talk about  everything.  I have new

There are lazy days.... And then there are LAZY DAYS! What is the difference you may ask, between a lazy day and A LAZY DAY? Well with a lazy day one just takes a break from the normal routine to do something they enjoy. For example going to the beach and reading, or going to the yarn shop and knitting while catching up on the latest news. To me a lazy day is laid back but still filled with
