We fry everything in Texas

I saw in the Dallas Morning News today that the winner of this year's State Fair fried food contest is chicken fried bacon....uck. That just sounds horribly disgusting to me. The fried grilled cheese or deep fried smores sound a little more appetizing. As for the fried Jelly Bellys, that just sounds like a waste of grease.

Labor Day weekend

I spent most of yesterday cleaning out the guest bedroom closet. How in the world I can accumulate so much stuff I will never know. Going to try to list some of it on e-bay tonight. Does anyone else have TOTES of holiday decorations? I used to be so deligent at decorating throughout the year...not anymore. I'm lucky to get the Halloween candy bowl out...and don't get me started on the Christmas tree. In my dream home, I'm going to have a closet I can wheel that thing in and out of. No more putting it up, fluffing the branches, stringing the lights, hanging the ornaments...only to take it all down. I threw out so many Easter baskets/containers. I really need to look at buying one "permanent" basket and using it for the next several years. I like this one from Good Pails to Have
It's springy, yet could be used for something else once the whole Easter Bunny thing is over. Elexis of Good Pails sent me some handmade magnets and thumb tacks and they were just the cutest thing. Now our message board is stylin'!

This is how we roll...

At least this is how the chicks roll... Daddy drives a red F150 crew cab.

Ooh La La...

Leave it to a fellow Texas gal to host a give-a-way like this!

It's been forever...

Spring time is our BUSY season at work (fieldwork wise)...which translates into the summer being ridiculous for the engineers!

There is a new craze in digital scrapbooking that I thought was pretty cool. I downloaded a few templates for that just in case moment. That is until I saw this template by Jaye. I had the PERFECT picture...thanks to Brandi's awsome work!




Leaving at noon today to go see Buckcherry in concert...so excited!

Thanks Uncle Sam

Last night I did my part to stimulate the economy. Most of my economic incentive check will be donated to the dentist for a crown on my tooth, but that just didn't seem all that fun. So I went to the store and came home with this:



It was already wrapped. Wrapped or unwrapped was the same price...why pass up the opportunity to get a piece of ribbon I can use on another package! What is underneath that beautiful ribbon?



The panini maker Oprah had on her favorite things 2007 list! No I do not have unlimited storage space in the kitchen, so the breadmaker that never gets used is on it's way to Goodwill...

The cutest purse

I just had to show y'all what I bought on etsy a month or so ago. It's just the cutest purse! I carried it when we went to the Edgefest concert and it was the perfect size for a camera, credit card, cash and keys. Spirited Style has some awesome funky fabrics...check them out!
