Homemade Ornaments ~ Day 14

I laughed so hard tonight watching Julie and Julia, a movie I have seen several times and love. I can relate to so many things in both women's lives and I find myself writing down quotes through out the movie that make me laugh or that scream "me". My quote for the day, "I probably need a deadline. Why? Because it will be like everything else I do, and lets face it, I never finish anything. It's true. you know why, I think it is ADD. It is why I am so bad at housework. Oh is that it?" Written for Julie and Julia yet a statement that would come straight from my mouth. So true Julie, so true!!! :) That is also why I gave myself a deadline, to stick with it and to be held accountable. To know that someone, if only one person a day would read this and know. Who ever you are out there, thanks for reading. It is what keeps me writing and trying new things.

Today's new thing included the whole family. To my wonderful mother and mother in law. If you are reading this....STOP NOW. You do not want to ruin your surprise from the girls.

We all sat around the table cutting snowflakes, singing and talking. I finished my gift cards for my nieces and nephews who are now at an age where a giant candy bar and cash makes them smile bigger than spiderman pjs my 4 year old nephew is going to love. I could explain what we made or just show you pictures. I am sure pictures would be much easier.




I laminated them so they would hold up for years to come, and we all had fun. Even my husband, who is not so much of the arts and crafts guy, proved to be the master snowflake maker. Although, he just arrived home and the craft stuff is still on the table, and I just heard him mutter Holy Shit. ADD or not, I think I will clean that up tonight.

Our new thing for the day was homemade ornaments for our family, I really hope they enjoy them.

Grilled Cheese and S I T C ~ Day 13

I haven't had a grilled cheese since I was a kid. I just didn't see what all the hoopla was all about. My husband makes them for my kids but I was never interested. The kids were begging for them tonight and so I decided to try one myself. I used both a cheddar and a sharp vintage cheddar mix and browned them on both sides with butter. Yes, I know probably not the healthiest choice but I am trying something new and if I am going to do it, I am going to do it right. It was delicious, I see what that fuss is. I even used my Gluten free Udis bread and it was so good I was tempted to make one for breakfast. I didn't, but sure thought about it.

The next new thing was Sex in the City 2. That movie made me laugh out loud several times. A little raunchy at times, but over all a very good movie that made laugh, appreciate being a mom, and love my lovely hubby.

Two new things, Grilled Cheese and Sex in the City, both a thumbs up.
