Random Saturday.

How productive was today?

I taught Molly to drive a car....


I went and canned sugar with my mom. Who knew you could can sugar? That was rather interesting.


And I took my mom and went to hang out on a movie set with my friend, Yeniffer. (She wasn't filming today, her adorable little boy was.)


Rather fun day. :)

Happy Valentines Day!

He's just not that into you!

Molly really wants Tyson to be her friend.
Tyson really wants Molly to buzz off.




How can you not want to play with such a sweet little face?


Tyson still is not amused or convinced.

Some stuff for Saturday

I saw these gorgeous purple flowers at Target today. I kinda want to go back and get them. Only problem is I am really bad about growing things like that. I have two bamboos that have been alive and thriving for 3 years now, but they are easy to care for as I only have to give them water. Aren't they beautiful, though?



And for those that are interested...check out the Tyson!

Goals and puppy breath.

I have worked out a pretty complex list of goals for 2009...I have nicknamed the whole "project" 200Mine and have been working on putting everything in place. There are twelve main goals, as it is said it takes 30 days to create a habit. So that is one goal per month. But I do have lesser goals that I am working on. One of them is de-cluttering my life. First up is my room. I took some before pictures and will take some after pictures when I am done, which I will then post them all together. It should definitely be interesting.

I worked a little on one of my projects today, which was to make my own Valentines cards. They aren't anything fancy as I'm just starting to figure out the self card making thing, but they are pretty cute so far. Pictures will follow soon...probably on Thursday for my creativity post.

Tomorrow brother, Jeremy, is moving in. Liz and I really wish he would blog as I have never met someone who gets in as many interesting situations as him, but he doesn't really think that it is up his alley.

My parents brought home a new little furball to take up residence in the house today...

Little Miss Molly is quite the little cutie, isn't she? Nothing as sweet as little puppy kisses. And as gross as puppy breath really is, it is also one of the best smells.

For those wondering...if Tyson could speak we would probably hear more swearing out of him than imaginable followed by a little bird flipping.

Got Puck?

Our company has a suite at a local arena and sometimes the employees are lucky enough to get tickets. I have seen Dancing with the Stars twice, New Kids on the Block, and Nickelback there...tonight was my first hockey game. The arena is the home to the Phoenix Coyotes. I know nothing about hockey but the fact that fights break out a lot on the ice and it is cold in the arena. Our company once held a mandatory company meeting there while they were getting the ice ready for a game...we FROZE!!! My lips turned blue while we were in there for the meeting it was so cold. So I bundled up and invited my parents to join in the fun. It was free limited edition Phoenix Coyote build-a-bears to all kids and season ticket holders tonight. In the end we came away with cute little stuffed bears, a Coyote win, and a fun night!





Now I'm off to watch the rest of "Empire Strikes Back" and then bed.

Back in the Saddle again.

So most of you know that I am crazy about horses. Always have been, probably always will be. When I was in my apartment, I was working on decorating the spare bedroom in a horsey decor. I was being nosy and snooping out the bathroom window today to see what was going on in the neighborhood and saw that the neighbors across the street had a yard sale going on...and there was a saddle out there!! Oooh! It was a nice English saddle and you know that I wanted it. I felt stupid going over there to find out how much they wanted for it. Especially when all I want to do is use it for decoration. But if it is still there tomorrow I will go over and see what they are asking. I may never own the horse, but I will have the saddle. Ha!

I did, however, buy something today...

(Along with various other items.) Target has all their Christmas stuff on 75% off clearance. I bought this Nativity creche. Of course, the nativity figurines do not come with it so I just have the frame. I don't know if I want to pack it away or find something to do with it, though. And for the record, it is HEAVY!

Other than that...I have watched football (Go Cardinals! About time I could say that and not have to hide my face in shame afterwards) and chatted with Leslie.
Meet Leslie:

Leslie is one of those people that just gets "it"...and she gets me so that is even better. :)
