Things that I want...

besides the general things like a healthy and happy family, i've started thinking about other things that might make my life easier or that could add new layers of joy! So the first thing I want is my Master's degree!! Good thing is I can actually make that happen and it's happening 5 weeks from today!! Woo hoo!! :) Another thing i'd like is an iPhone...what fun are those little guys? I keep reading about cool apps and things that can keep the kids occupied, that would be fantastic! One more thing i'd LOVE is a new lens for my camera!! I feel as though i'm currently limited by the lenses in my bag. I've been trying to work on my photography and have been shooting wide ranges of people: groups, babies, my kids, sports, etc. I shoot with a Nikon D40, have the kit lens as well as the AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm 1:4-5.6G ED. I have a note to myself that my next lens is a Tamron.
The good news is that there's a giveaway that I'd be absolutely thrilled to win!! To enter yourself, go here and look at the July 8 post: http://mcpactions.com/blog/



Can't wait to see if I might be able to win this!! Have a great weekend!

Think BIG...







What a fun project I took on over the weekend! I have been thinking about this since probably December. When Uppercase Living had their buy one get one 1/2 off sale mom let me have the 1/2 price item so I got this for about $12.50. The canvas was about $24 (30% off from 34.99 at Hobby Lobby) and the paint from WalMart for about $1.75. I have to say that this honestly turned out EXACTLY as I had imagined it. Hopefully i'll get pictures of the new "art" hanging up in the toy room soon!

But me and the girls, we don't care!! Here are our fancy pants name tags...damn we're classy!

I'm not playing tonight so I guess they'll have to wait until next month to put up with me.

Have a great weekend...hopefully the big ass snowstorm misses us here!!

Kristen Wiig, My Boys and other random thoughts...

Okay, if you haven't seen SNL in a while, you have to check out these Top 10 Kristen Wiig moments. In my opinion she is the funniest SNL character since Molly Shannon. She definitely brings energy and a new brand of funny to the show. You can check out some of her hilarious performances here:


You can thank me later!!


My Boys is finally here tonight!! Ana and Ipek and I will be living it up with PJ and the boys tonight. I can't wait!! It's the one show you should definitely be watching, and it only takes 30 minutes so there's no excuse:



And finally, yes, the Bravos resigned Chipper Jones through 2012. Good sign. Now if he can just stay healthy!! You go Larry, we're looking forward to a few more good years!
