My New Favorite Thing ...

My FABULOUS mother

made me a BEAUTIFUL quilt.

I love it!

I have been snuggled up in it, listening to the rain

and reading "Catching Fire".

Thanks again mom!

It is lovely!

A Few More of My Favs ...

This was a REALLY good book!

And, it made me want to take a trip to India.

This series has taken over my life.

I read the first one in one day, and had to run to

Barnes & Noble that night to buy the second.

I am almost done with it.

Really good writing,

really good characters,

and a really good story.

The third one doesn't come out until August,

and I really do not know how I am going

to wait that long!

Happy Reading!

Countdown to Summer: Take Five ...

FRUIT!!!

I love the summer because of

ALL the yummy fruit!

especially the berries.

Nothing is yummier to me than a bowl of berries.

Now,

I have serious texture issue.

Jello, pudding, and yogurt make me gag.

But sometimes you just gotta have some yogurt with your berries.

Luckily, I found this wonderful yogurt!

I love it!

Only the vanilla ...

the other flavors have a weird texture.

I know.

I'm a weirdo.

Yea for Summer fruit!!!!

My Favorite Time of Year ...

I LOVE General Conference!

I love the opportunity to learn

and be uplifted and edified.

I feel grateful and blessed.

Note To Self ...

Don't try to grocery shop during the store

sponsored Easter egg hunt.

I am almost ran over about 25 screaming children with my cart,

and I was SERIOUSLY disturbed by the

"Get Your Picture Taken with

the Easter Bunny by the Butcher Counter"

display.

Especially since I'm pretty sure the Bunny had the mange ...

Countdown to Summer: Take Four ...

I love suntan lotion.

I love that it keeps me from getting burned,

but most of all I love the smell of it mixed in

with the sun, the sand, and the ocean.

Just the thought of getting a whiff of that makes me happy.

Food Storage and Coupons Are My Latest Obsession ...

This is my latest completed project.

I have been working on my food storage for the

last 4 months.

Last weekend I finally took the time to put

together a shelf,

and organize everything.

I LOVE when things are organized and put in their place.

It is nice to know what I have,

and what I need to focus on getting more of.

In order to get my food storage going,

I have jumped on the coupon train.

And let me tell you ...

It is SERIOUSLY addicting!

Who knew I would find such joy in saving money?

Today I was paid 24 cents

to take 2 boxes of wheat pasta out of the grocery store.

It makes me happy.

And it also makes me happy

to be able to check one more thing off my to do list.

Now, if you don't mind,

I'm off to stare at my nice, organized storage shelf.

(you think I am joking!)
