Infinity Scarf DIY {On the Hook}
I love mustard. Not the condiment, the color. Well, no, I like the condiment too but this isn’t a food post. That’s coming on Thursday, so stick around. Hint: it involves potatoes, corn and shrimp… Anyway, back to the scarf, I’ve been seeing mustard colored clothing and accessories everywhere, yet it was lacking in my wardrobe. Then I remembered this beautiful golden mustard colored yarn I had tucked away and instant happiness was upon me. It took me about three days to whip up this lacy scarf. And don’t you just love the brooch? I may have to hit up some thrift stores for some more. After posting a picture…

Things That Leave Me Scratchin’ My Head {Coffee Talk}
1. A man in China sued his wife for being ugly and won. The husband discovered that his wife had spent $100,000 on intense plastic surgery to change her looks. The surgery was not revealed to the husband until after the birth of their child, whom he described as “incredibly ugly”. The sad part is that this woman discovered way too late that she married a shallow butt head of a man. The real ugliness resides with him and not with the mother and child. 2. An Orange County woman wants to set up a roadside memorial in the city of Irvine to honor hundreds of fish who died in…

November Photo A Day {Photography}
I’m not sure why I keep doing this to myself. Maybe I’m a glutton for punishment or maybe I’m just hoping that one day I will actually complete an entire month of photos. And, well, I kinda like this month’s Photo A Day prompts. I’ll be posting my pictures on Instagram (you can follow me by clicking here) and then doing a weekly wrap up here on the blog. Would you like to participate? Here are the rules: Starting 1 November take a picture using the inspiration from the prompt. Once you’ve taken your photo, share the picture on your blog, Facebook page, flickr, Instagram or Twitter or other preferred social media page. If you’re sharing…

Retro Baby Blanket {On the Hook}
I’ve spent the last few months working on this baby blanket. Not steady work, just off and on when I haven’t felt like doing much of anything else. You know those days, when you need to do something but you don’t want to think too much or too hard? The blanket is for a young couple at our church who are having a baby boy in the next few months. They have two of the most adorable little girls, all bubbly and bouncy and full of giggles, ribbons and bows. That poor little boy is going to have a hard way to go. Smile. I selected the colors: Aran Turquoise…

Things That Leave Me Scratchin’ My Head {Coffee Talk}
1. Republican politicians, can I tell ya something? You really need to work on your “Hate the sin, love the sinner” message ’cause right now you’re failing miserably at explaining anything that has to do with women and rape. 2. And while I’m on the political, women can handle heated debates, so stop saying that Obama’s and Romney’s sparkless debate was because they’re “courting women voters and women can’t handle conflict.” Ummm, have you ever had contact with a woman? In this century? 3. I hate that saggy pants thing that guys do. It’s so not cool. Especially when the guy is over the age of 20. By that time…

Yummy Spoon Bread {On the Table}
I’m not a big baker. It’s a time thing. But i do love myself some bread. And I do I love to cook. I especially love to try new recipes. This hasn’t always been true, when the hubs and I first got married, I couldn’t boil water. Not kidding. Could not boil water. At all. As in I actually burned the pot that I was boiling the water in because I forgot about it. Then one day, I woke up and it was like I was seeing the stove for the first time… Anyway, the other day I was planning to make some cornbread to go with our ribs and…

Losing Weight and Getting Healthy #15 {#Cinchspiration}
Here’s my last Cinchspiration update. I have to be honest and say that I haven’t been following the program as I should have over the last few weeks. In fact, I was completely off the program. But last week while I was at work, I was starving and while digging through my purse I found a Cinch bar, and was thrilled. Not sure if it was because I was starving or not, but that bar was the best thing I’d eaten in forever. Forever. So that was the start of me getting back on the wagon. And in that week I’ve gone back down to 155.4 which essentially means that…

Things That Leave Me Scratchin’ My Head {Coffee Talk}
1. It feels like every week there’s a new story about child sex abuse/murder/kidnapping. This week the news centers around the Boy Scouts and their so~called “Pervert Files”. It looks like they had the same policy as the Catholic Church and Penn State when it came to dealing with child predators… Why is it that organizations prefer to protect their reputations rather than protect the children who’ve been entrusted with their care? My honest~to~goodness~no~holds~barred opinion on this subject is that any and everyone who hurts a child should be put to death. No appeal. No languishing on Death Row for years. Just kill them. And anyone who protects or covers…

The state of Missouri has determined that the boy is competent enough to drive a vehicle. Congratulations, Son. I love you. But more than anything else, I love that my taxi duties have officially ended. I’m linking up with: Deb Duty Photography ~ This or That Thursday
