This is what keeps us cool in our 100+ degree weather.

I do not have many pictures of our backyard, or house for that matter.

But this is the one spot we like to spend time in in the summer.

Sometimes the pool is too warm and it's not even worth getting in but it feels a lot better then the 800 degree weather we have been having.

I told you our dogs like to be in pictures.

Happy Birthday To Me

Today I turned 24. I still feel like I am 18.

I had a good day today. Did not really do much but it was a relaxing day. I got money from Josh and my family, can we say shopping time? For a change Josh is going to make dinner tonight. My gourmet meal is going to be cheeseburgers and chips. :-)

I am very thankful that he is cooking tonight. He offered to take me out to dinner but I would rather just stay home and relax. I got a phone call or 2 from people wishing me a happy birthday but I communicated with most people today by text messaging. I think that works best for my family since everyone is always on the go. Oh well at least I talked to them somehow right?

Tomorrow Josh has to get up pretty early and drive to Vegas to pick up his aunts. It is about a 5 hour drive from here so he is just going to pick them up and then turn around and drive back home. This means I get the day to myself. I am going to clean out the kitchen and organize the cupboards and all that fun stuff. I am probably going to work on a project or 2 also.

How many of you have already started planning for Christmas? I know I have. I ordered my Christmas address labels and have my cards already. I have been buying some fabric when it has been on sale since I am going to be making a few quilts for Christmas. Ummmm, I have also listened to a few Christmas songs, okay it is more then a few it is A LOT. I can't help it though. Go ahead and laugh and me and call me crazy, I can handle it.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. I appreciate it.

Till next time.....

P.S. The older the fiddler, the sweeter the tune.

Yellow Tag Day

I went to Savers today because I knew they would be having their "special color tag" sale. Today it happened to be the yellow tag. Everything that had a yellow tag on it was 99 cents. So I made it my personal mission to only buy something that was 99 cents or had a yellow tag. Mission Accomplished. Here's what I got.


I actually saw these two little mirrors when I went 2 weeks ago and because they were priced at $2.99 each I did not want them. They had a yellow tag so I grabbed em' up. I am going to paint them a color, just not sure which one haha.

For some reason I really liked these bowls. They are actually pretty good wooden bowls. I don't think I am going o use them for food. I think I might paint them some kind of black and put something in them. Not quite sure on these ones yet.

The flip flop in the back is actually a really ugly yellow color. I am going to paint it white. The candle base is going to get painted glossy black and put somewhere, no idea where. I am going to put some candles on the black tray thingy. I think the little pumpkin is cute. It will be even more cute with a little tea light making him glow. The Christmas trees are tea light holders. You put the tea light in the back and the light glows through to the front. There were some cute white snowmen and I wish I got them. I always do that.

Make sure you all stop by 2nd Time Around Tuesday to see what everyone has got. Till next time...
