Random Thoughts.....
I feel like I am running on empty and information overloaded right now. I never went to bed after I posted yesterday - I finally fell asleep exhausted at 2300. The girls and I had a full packed day. It was great doing things with them and for them without having to rush off to work at the end. I wanted to post about it this AM before I sat down in front of that "work project" I keep avoiding not for lack of enthusism but for lack of ideas.
First of all - Rowan and I decided to make Smore Brownies - THANKS to my Friend from work Becca (thank you Becca) for bringing them into work on Monday and giving me the recipie!!!
Rowan had a blast. I am not sure if it was all the SUGAR that laid before her or if it was the process of smashing everything that went on top - or - that she was in charge of making "the brownies" for Wednesday Night Group at our place!
I'm not sure if I had more fun watching her or helping her?
Click on any of the Smore's Pictures to see the entire process.
The finished product!!! And yes - they are as deadly as they look - ooooey, goooey and chewy! A perfect pms snack!!!
WARNING - I told you this was RANDOM
I fail to understand, no matter how many times I show them HOW to squeeze the tube and replace the caps - this occurs! Does anyone with kids understand this????
I was inspired by Donna Downey's Decorative Journals book to create three personalized folders for my daughter going to second grade. I wanted the folders to make her smile, inspire her to do her best and know that I was behind her 100% no matter what!
While it took me forever to get the creative juicies flowing - I had fun doing it. This one has KI Birhtday paper and the random alphabit at the top has a real word search in it! I also used a Junkit's buckle.
All three use KI's newest paper, KI's corresponding ribbon and various Stampin Up stamps. I just got my "Tag Bundle" in the mail for Quickutz. I used it to make the tags on the side. Nat's not sure what subject she is going to put in which folder - so that hasn't been filled in yet. I LOVE this tag bundle!!!
And on a personal note - A little known fact - but I suffer from dyslexia. (I know - not what you want to hear from a peds nurse who has to make alot of calculations.) I worked hard in elementary school to overcome it. When I get really tired it usually shows up. For example - when I booked the plane tickets to Australia I gave the guy my credit card number. I inverted ALL the numbers. He had the RIGHT numbers - the four groups of four - were all out of order. He kept saying the acct didn't exist and I kept saying it did. Worse - I kept reading the numbers off the SAME WAY! Finally - after three phone calls to my credit card company insuring myself the acct existed eventhough I had the card in my hand - I had him read the numbers back to me (I have no idea why?) That's when I realized that the numbers were all messed up.
Recently - tired or completely rested - I keep noticing when I type Donna Downey's name I ALWAYS (and I did it here too) type Downey Donna.
Okay - enough with the Random! I am off to play with Rowan and get my work done!
HA!
