♥ I heart it ♥

Anything having to do with my honey and my cupcakes.

Photographing my food

This song........I've been obsessed with it for over 3 years. I secretly wish I could sing like her. 

Sending hints to my bff since 5th grade.......... she can't stay away for too long :)

[that little line is a whopping 6 hour drive!!]

and knowing that Fargo can still teach Lt. Whitey a few things makes me smile :)

Greenwood, Indiana?

Say what??

Thats where I spent my weekend :) Homeless

Friday night: Me, hubbs, mini sister, Lt. Whitey

Pack the car and head down south

Destination: Greenwood, IN

My husband had to take a test for work. Since he missed his testing date out here

he had no choice to pack up and venture out for the weekend

We checked into our hotel  Friday night at 11 pm after our 3 hour drive

and of course we had Bed jumping wars...

I drop husband off for test at 7 am

Mini sister, Lt, whitey and I check out of hotel @ 10 am

thinking his test will take 2-3 hours tops

We head for lunch and browse some local shops

Turns out, there were so many people testing it took him 12 hours to finish!!!

Heres the scenario:

2 sisters

1 dog

1 car

no home

90 degrees

Rain showers on and off

for 12 hours

in Greenwood, IN

And we had a blast :)

First off, we found the most amazing cupcake shop ever.

"The Flying Cupcake" Ill give it a post of its own at a later time

But to keep it short

" Red Velvet Elvis"

enough said...

Then there was Mrs. Curls Ice cream

Oh my lord, adorable....

We got Lt. Whitey his own lil pup cup :)

He loved it

He let mini sister have his biscuit, how generous is he?

We spent a lot of time here so Lt. Whitey could stay cool. It was his first time in water

and he Loved it!!!

 

He looks like a cow graving in the pasture. he-he

We found some sweet

Thrift shops

Bead shops

Used books and record store

and then spent some time napping in parking lots.....

Finally at around 7:30 husband called to say they were finished. Apparently there were so many people it just took all day. He was frustrated but happy he passed and just wanted to get home.

We finally got home around 11 pm and the next day we made a pretty breakfast.

Waffles with a dash of cinnamon and brown sugar, strawberries and bananas!

mmmmm its Love ♥

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Did you do anything exciting?

"Standing on the corner selling rap cd's to kids with greasy hair"

My sisters came over yesterday

And they brought me these Beautiful flowers

How awesome ♥

I love them :)

We did a little shoot with my mini sister.

Nothin special, we just sat in front of my house

because there wasn't much too do.

We had a good time just hanging out and watching the Hawks destroy :)

I love my sisters ♥

So my sister and her friend write songs and play guitar

and they are amazing

I finally got her to sing and play in front of the camrea.

So take a look

I think this one is called

"standing on the corner selling rap cd's to kids with greasy hair?"

Strike me Fancy Tuesday

It's my new thing?

(........I think Ill go with it.......)

7 things that Strike my Fancy

1. Today I spent $80 on Eclipse tickets

Don't judge me

[i ♥ Edward]

2. I want to make these again......they make me smile

3. This book, I loved it. I'm not even kidding, my heart was racing I was so into the book. 

4. The fact that my craft supplies can be used for more important things

like measuring biceps and things of that nature, thats pretty sweet right?

5. Trueblood starts in 5 days!!!

My husband is in the other room saying "sookie" over and over.

New video for a rainy Chicago...

Hey friends!

I made a little video of our trip last weekend. I didn't get a ton of footage

but I put together what I had.

There was a lot of geocaching going on there.

At one point Brandon woke me out of my sleep

screaming "there is a cache in the wigwam village!!!!!"

and then we were out the door..hahaha, nerds?

Hope you enjoy :)

Today it is raining :(

And I was woken up at 6 am by a dispatcher at B's work.

Thats no fun. I couldn't get back to sleep

I have a bridal shower and a graduation party today.

A cute dress and an umbrella.

This calls for lots of hair spray.....I mean spray starch.

my hair stylist sister give me 'the look' if I use hairspray

I have to say 'color' instead of dye

My husband now uses Redken products and he will never go back

(Goodbye 99cents hello $15)

And he continuously tells me to smell and feel his hair because it is amazing.

Ha-ha he is so cute.

Any way,

I hope you all have a lovely day!!

I got played :(

Just a quick little something that on my mind at the moment.

Yesterday I stopped at the grocery store

I parked and got out of my car

I was approached by an older man

He proceeded to tell me that his car is broken, he just called the auto store

and he needs a hose that is $14.99

then he pointed at a car down the aisle that had it's hood up

He told me that he is not a drunk and that he is embarrassed but just needs to get it fixed so he can get home.

This has happened to me more than a few times

and every time, I give any cash that I have on me to that person because 

I always hope that someone would do that for me, if I ever needed it

And I am not dumb, I know people try to scam people all the time

But I always find myself thinking, well what if he really is genuine and needs help?

and what is the $5 in my purse going to do for me?

So I always give in and try to help, hoping that it was the truth.....

So I gave him the $5 I had and went into the store for no more than

 2 minutes to get an avocado and a tomato.

And when I came out the mans car was gone. 

And I felt like an idiot

But I continue to do it.

I guess I keep thinking that maybe one time I will actually be helping someone 

and I can't get over the feeling that they really do need a little help.

But now im kind of bummed about it.

I'm not sure what I'll do next time this situation comes about

What should I do? Am I a bad person if I lie and say I have no money?

What do you usually do? 

On a lighter note.........

Here is a little Lieutenant Whitey to give you a smile :)

He ate $40 in cash yesterday, but how can you be mad? He's too cute!

Our fun little getaway.....

It was so nice to have time off of work and spend it with my hubby.

We had a nice little 6 hour drive down to Cave City.

Husband let me navigate

Old School style

[try this next time you take a trip, its so fun]

when I wasn't busy navigating

I played with letter cookies

{also, too much fun}

[ahhh the possibilities.....]

Destination: Wigwam Village, Cave City KY.

[soo cute]

It's pretty Beautiful out there...

 

I made Husband dress up like an Indian

[I figured as long as we were sleeping in Wigwams?]

We explored a few caves, and made it out alive :)

Went to a baseball game

[The Boling Green Hot Rods]

sweet name right?

We acted like cool kids.

And accidentally went searching for pizza in KY when we are from Chicago

we didn't realize our stupidity until someone else brought it to our attention

"Uhhh we have a cici's?"

We found an adorable ice cream shop

But of course it was shut down :(

We took lots of pictures, and then we headed home.

Well just to summarize it, ya know?

   

Hope you all had an eventful Memorial Day weekend and 

a prayer to all the men and women who fight for our country :)

thank you.

Did you do anything fun?
