One for You & One for Me

This is how we have to cook around our house. One for him (meat) and one for me (non-meat). Mine is the smaller of the two of course : )

Before we rarely actually sat down and ate together because he would make one thing and I would make another. Lately, however, we have actually been eating the same things because we haven't had a lot of meat in the house. With this last trip to the grocery store he changed that and bought all kinds of meat to make chili. He started making chili and it smelled really good, so before he added the meat I asked if I could put some in a lil crock pot for me.

His

Mine

what a bargain!

I got all this fabric the other day, plus a really cute pillowcase for a pillowcase tote, for only $19!!! There is TONS of the brown, white and green one and tons of the blue one!!! The top one is my favorite one : ) I think I might make a purse out of it...like just a mini version of the pillowcase tote and add a little pocket in the inside. If I do make a purse with it hopefully I will be able to convince Vic to use her snap press and throw a snap on it for me : ) That way it'll have a little bit of a way to close and keep things in.

What to be? What to be?

My favorite holiday is Halloween! I love finding a fun costume, dressing up and going out. I'm trying to figure out what we should be this year...I know it sounds really early to think about it, but I want to actually get my costume more than a few days before this time!

Year before last year I was a beer girl and I made Bob a costume to look like a glass of beer. Beer is our favorite drink, so it was the perfect idea! I ordered my costume like a week before and received it the day before Halloween. I was super excited when it FINALLY came, only to open it and find out THEY SENT THE WRONG ONE!!! Luckily, the one they had sent was a "Gretchen" costume (pretty much like a beer girl, just not the one I wanted) so I could still wear it and it worked out.

Last year Bob was a jailbird and I was a corrupt cop "Ivana Bribe" : ) Unfortunately, the only picture I can find of last year was this horrible one of me and Carol...no Bob : (

So this year I'm not sure what the heck to be...pirates?? hippies?? gangstas?? 50's couple?? cowboy & cowgirl?? I don't know what we're going to do yet...but I'll letcha know once I find something that I feel like I just HAVE to do.

6-10 of 103 Randoms About Me

10. I purchased my first car December 31, 2007 and totaled it on March 12, 2008. (before then I had a car that was given to me) Yep, that's right, I owned that car for all of 2 months and 12 days! It was my favorite car too :( A 1998 green Ford Contour with a manual transmission. It had a sunroof, I loved that sunroof. Man, do I miss that car...

9. I had a few hamsters as pets when I was a teen. One of which got loose in our house numerous times. We had to put holes in the walls to get him out of the walls. The last time he got loose, we never found him...

8. As a kid I didn't know the lines in the middle of the road actually meant something. I just assumed they were all supposed to be solid double lines and thought they made them dashed because they were running out of paint.

7. I have a crazy fear of wood ticks. If anyone finds one when I'm around I will have the creepy crawlies for the rest of the time I am there and will not be able to be comfortable.

6. I sleep with a fan on in my room almost every night. Even in the winter! I am like a furnace when I'm sleeping. Poor Bob wants to cuddle with me some nights and I just can't do it because I die of heat! So then he freezes at night sometimes because I have the fan on.

New patch

I was going to put this on a produce bag originally, but a girl I know wants one sorta like this on a tote. I think I'm going to put this on a tote for her :) If she likes the colors that is...

So pretty

These are in my backyard! Aren't they gorgeous?!

Some day...

...Bob and I will get a dog! He's lovin' having Joey here. He's so cute with him. Always playing and rough housing (as much as you can with a lil guy like Joey.)

Trying something new.

I thought maybe it would be kinda fun to start a new set of posts titled "103 Randoms About Me" Just so that I share little things about me with you. Some things you may already know if you know me and some things you may not know : ) We'll see if I can even get to 103 things!

5. I have had my nose pierced two times. The first time I had it done it was on the right side. When I had my wisdom teeth removed I had to take it out and it closed up...I cried! (the drugs they gave me may have had something to do with that too) Now its on my left side.

4. When I was a child I called Band-Aids rubber Band-Aids.

3. I secretly (not so secretly now!) feel better than other people when I am using reusable bags and they're using plastic. Sounds horrible to say it out loud, but I'm just being truthful : )

2. I am very easily annoyed with sounds. Example: people eating, breathing, chewing gum. I find myself literally trying to plug my ear that is near someone who is annoying me. I'll pretend I am resting my head on my hand or something to cover my ear.

1. I am OBSESSED with the color of my teeth. I am paranoid that I have nasty yellow teeth all the time. I am constantly checking my teeth in the mirror and feeling like they should be more white.

Bandanas and buttons

A few bandanas and a couple buttons can certainly make a cute design for a produce bag!
