My Valentine

Valentine's Day is not my favorite. It is a nice day and there are never enough reasons to eat chocolate, but I could live without it. 

However, I do have a favorite person. And there are never enough reasons to spend time with him. I love him.

Mother's Day Cards

This year I made Mother's Day cards. 6 in total. One each for my Mom, Chris's stepmom Glenda, Chris's Mom, his Memaw and two other of his grandmas. I scrap-lifted all 6 of them, but I am still surprised at how fast I churned them out. I have also been on another card-making kick for a while, so there will be more cards posted. 

Thanksgiving Turkey

I just took my 17 pound turkey out of the freezer to start defrosting it. Talk about leftovers.

I am so excited for Thanksgiving.

I only have to work 16 hours this week, but will get paid for 40.

We are going to watch Elf and White Christmas on Friday.

This is going to be the best week ever.

Wind Chill

On Saturday night we stayed in and watched scary movies on Lifetime.

This was one of them.

It wasn't scary at all. If you ever want to watch a non scary, scary movie, watch this one. There was no climax and I was waiting the whole time for something to just happen.

Then we watched this.


Which was suspenseful. And a little scary.

Basically the moral of the story that Lifetime was trying to tell us was never leave the interstate. In both movies the people took a shortcut off the interstate and got into trouble.

We didn't dress up for Halloween. That is because we are of the opinion that unless we are under 12 or have children under 12, then there is no point in celebrating Halloween. Maybe next year. But I will carve pumpkins and watch scary movies.

Thanksgiving...

is in one month. And I am super duper excited. Last Thanksgiving didn't go so well because the stupid oven decided to turn off for 3 hours while I thought it was cooking. But there will be no mistakes this year. The only thing that might be a problem will be if our landlord doesn't fix one of our burners.

Salivate over these pictures.

Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo is one of my favorite holidays! Mostly because I associate it with eating lots Mexican food- which is my favorite.

In elementary school we always had a pinata, which are so fun.

In junior high and high school I was always in a Spanish class so there was always a potluck.

To celebrate, Chris and I had Cafe Rio. Although, it is not as good as Texas Mexican food, it was still okay. Just 24 days until Texas and Rancho Grande!
