It's Amazing!

What's amazing? I actually cooked tonight! I do cook, but not that often. Tonight I decided to try a recipe from the Creating Post it Notes blog. Suzanne posts a new recipe pretty much every day. They always look so good! I wanted to try the Sweet and Sour Chicken tonight. It's really good. It wasn't that hard to make either. Here's what it looked liked:
The other amazing thing? I actually did my layout for the Scraploft Challenge! I just didn't have any time or mojo to do this one, so I finally buckled down and did it. The photo isn't the best, but it wasn't scanning very well either, so this is what you get! ;)

Work Finds

Finally, it's spring. They brought out the golf cart at work for us to go around the lot in. Someone decked it out this winter and painted it school bus yellow (yes, it's a real color name) and put the IC logo on the hood. Now that's a pimped ride! Today when I got back from my meeting, I found this on my desk:
Yes, someone had drawn a bus on my banana. It's a banana bus! Oh, and it's smiling! I had a good laugh over that. I did point out to the artist that they're missing a rubrail (the stripes on a bus, it's required to have 4 in MN), but he denied any knowledge of a banana bus. You gotta watch out for those salesmen!

More from Grandma

One of the things I got from Grandma is this beautiful cabinet. It needed a little lovin', but after some Murphy's Oil Soap and Old English, it's gorgeous again. It's now sitting in my dining room.On the inside I'm storing some stuff. The wire baskets are from the dollar spot at Target.
We also got to pick a cookbook from Grandma. This is what I picked.
Every page is filled with her handwriting and newspaper clippings.
I'm going to go through the whole thing and scan most of it. A long project for a rainy day or this winter.
Top Model finale tonight! Go Whitney!

Mother's Day Weekend

Dh and I spent time at my parent's house yesterday for mother's day. My mom had picked up my nephew a new set of golf clubs. (She got them for $8 at a garage sale!) She surprised him with them yesterday. Here's the unveiling:
So cute! He's getting so big!
I finally got the bedroom set from my Grandma's house. Here's the dresser:
And the bed:
Orion couldn't wait to get on it, but I held him back! Hope all you mother's and non-mother's alike had a great mother's day!

Puppy Pictures

I was cleaning out our second bedroom today (we're getting a new bed from my Grandma's house) and I came across some old pictures of Orion and Baron

Here's Orion at the cabin I think the week after we got him. He was scared of all of the other dogs and was hiding behind the geranium. This is still one of my favorite photos of him. I could actually hold him at this point! Now he weighs 100 pounds! You gotta love those ears! He hadn't grown into them yet. This was Baron the day we got him. He was about a month younger than when we got Orion. He had been living in an old chicken coop with his liter mates, so we had to give him a bath. He definitely doesn't fit in the sink any more! I also love that you can see Orion's nose checking him out. I can't believe that either of them were that small at one time!!

Cinco de Mayo

This is the coolest game ever - Rock Band. See that 99% for singing? Yeah, that's me!
