The last week has been crazy busy, still. I’m really looking forward to my next paycheck, even though it’s already spoken for — Jeff’s computer has finally died, and since he’s gone back to school — he kind of really needs it. It’s always something, huh? I’m just glad it isn’t another set of tires that we need… seriously, before buying your next car — research how much the tires are going to cost you, especially if it’s a random size. Oy… our emergency fund should be renamed the Tire Fund.
Back to this last week…
The chained-to-the-desk routine has me falling asleep at the keyboard, even Jeff supplying me with three cases of diet Dr. Pepper hasn’t helped. So, I broke out one of my exercise balls and have taken to rolling around on it while I type.
It honestly doesn’t help much… but at least I’m moving more than I would be with the desk chair. Poor Riley doesn’t understand, she thinks it means she can’t sit in her chair either, so she sits next to me on the floor until she decides to abandon supervising me for the more comfortable sofa.
Speaking of Riley, she got a new collar and harness set. Unfortunately, the hot pink zebra has given her an even stronger punk-ass attitude and I had to chase her around the block on Tuesday when she broke through the front door. At least she’s cute.
Jeff bought a case of Half Dome, he loved it… me… “meh.” I really need to taste more brews from in-town and find one I like, because this one isn’t it… and I want to drink more local. I have a feeling he’s going to replace Blue Moon with Half Dome, especially since I pointed out tonight that Blue Moon is a screw-off top. Somehow this former Coors Light drinker is too elite now to drink a screw-off top beer… I think he’s ridiculous.
We really loved our first real Korean food experience. My friend’s boyfriend was once stationed in Korea and goes back regularly, so we had a nice experience learning all about it. We loved the sweet potatoes (bottom of the photo,) the soups, main dishes… really everything — especially the Saan Soju!
I made a lot more templates… so keep your eyes peeled for more freebies on our FB page! I’ve been extra-inspired lately… I made this set last night while relaxing on the patio. I know it’s crazy to still spend time on the computer when I’m done with work… but it’s fun for me to create. After using my left brain all day, it’s nice to get some use out of the right side!
A perfect mix of clean & simple scrapping with a touch of altered art/art journaling styles. Make these pages truly your own by using your favorite brushes!
Free on the Our Misadventures FB fan page through May 26th.
Since the fan page reached 350 new fans in almost no time at all, I went ahead and released another new set of free templates. There will be two more sets on Wednesday! One over at Real Life Scrapped’s fan page, and another on their blog for a challenge.
Lastly, I really want to grab some more of these “Sugar Coat” polishes from Sally Hansen, this one is “Razzle-Berry.” At first I didn’t like the textured nail polish trend, but I’m in love with how simple the Sugar Coat line is. I have the Mariah Carey line from OPI, but the glitter was too inconsistent for me and it was hard to work with. Sugar Coat went on with one coat, consistently. I also might hop one town over to grab some of Zoya’s summer pixie dust line, I really want that awesome coral colored one!
At least a nail polish addiction isn’t as bad as say… meth. It’s definitely prettier!

My mom asked what I got myself with the amazon gift card she gave me for my birthday… she laughed when I told her I got more canning cookbooks just to have more recipes at hand. I definitely spent more than what the card was worth… but each and every book was worth it. It’s interesting how many canning “philosophies” there are.
And almost every book recommended Penzeys for spices… especially the pickling spice mix… I’ve already placed two orders and have a third list started. I can’t wait until my mustard seeds get here to make cherry mostarda — cherries hit the markets this week! Ooooohhh and Bourbon Brown Sugar Mustard??? YUM!
My decision was even more solidified this week after the tragedy in Boston. Runners and their supporters are a unique bunch… and marathon runners even more unique and strong — their main strength is to persevere. Since Monday, the number of people on the trail has at least doubled. Not everyone is running, but seeing the colors, baseball hats, race shirts, etc — I know they were all out there to show support for Boston.
