I got something in the mail from my sister. I noticed this stamp and had to chuckle. My sister's name is Lisa Simonson. Heh heh. Love it.

I made Cars cupcakes for a 3 year old's birthday. Sadly, this was the only photo that turns out.

I had a particularly tough day at work, so when I came home, I laid down under the tree in my backyard to enjoy the nice weather and take a few minutes to myself. I took this photo while relaxing there.

Since my sister moved back home, I realized how much time I really spent with her, and how few friends I really have. So I joined a group, Hip Chicks, on Meetup.com. I got the courage to attend one of their events. It was a demonstrative dinner at the Thai restaurant Sawatdee. Supenn the owner, walked us through a 3 course meal and how to recreate it at home. I met some fun ladies and ate some awesome Thai food (also a first for me!).

It may be the start of fall, but this plant is in full bloom in my front yard. Love it!

I've recently redone my bathroom and am looking to create some art for the walls. This was a photo I took and edited. I'm not sure if it will make the final cut, but I do kind of like it.

In recent weeks, its come up a few times that I was the Cedarburg Strawberry Princess back when I was little. To prove it, I photographed the newspaper clipping. Here I am, in my Strawberry Shortcake glory....1987.

This is a photo of my destroyed hallway. Yep. My dog ate the carpet. We have been leaving our dogs out of their kennels in small increments of time when we aren't home. We restrict their access to the kitchen and this hallway. Normally they do really well. In this last week, Caesar, my big dog, destroyed his bed. Now, he destroyed our carpet. He was doing great during the last 2 months. I suspect its a combination of leaving him out for too long, too soon, and not having enough toys to keep him busy. Needless to say, this was the whipped cream on my sundae today!
