ok. .............. DeAnna made her picks............... Jeremy, Jason, and Jesse... Graham is out.........she doesn't think that Graham can let his wall down, she's really hurt and really wanted him to be the final one, dang it is hard to watch... you can tell he really cares, he just doesn't know how to show it... he wrote her a letter and asked her to read it at some time any time.................starting to read the card, and now she's second guessing herself

oh... I hope I don't have to work next Monday night so I can watch The Men Tell All episode

my confession - updated

first off, if you don't know about my confession from late last night... please read HERE first ...

I couldn't help it..... I threw all of them away this morning & he wondered why.....I just kept laughing to myself every time my dh mentioned how weird those cookies were ........ so after letting him know that there was a reason, but I didn't want to tell him, and I was laughing the whole time, I finally had to spill........

he had to go grab the box of the carpet baking soda to try to find the ingredients to make sure nobody was poisoned, especially our toddler sons....well, I checked that yesterday & no ingredients and no warnings....
it was just a teaspoon anyway.. LOL

I thought he'd have a blast narking on me, but he said he's too afraid to tell anyone about it

btw, the batter tasted a lot better than the actual cookies :)

***********************

soooo, since tonight was Thursday... that meant Swingtown on CBS! I love this new show..... there is no way I could even think about living like that.... but it's so 70s and so entertaining!
....and... another fun reason to watch it... Grant Show as a hot swinger with a porn mustache!

have you watched it yet? if not, definitely check it out... watch an episode or two online or just wait til next Thursday :)

confession time!!!!!!!

ok.... I held a Silpada Designs party tonight ... so this afternoon I made some chocolate chip cookies

they were oh so special .... LOL.......

they tasted a little off......... I was told that they tasted like they had a cleaner in them or that they tasted like potpourri .... I, of course, said that I had no idea, except that I accidentally put a little too much baking soda in the mix

welllllllllllllllll... my confession to you... I couldn't even tell my dh because I knew he'd never let me forget about it...I realized at the end of mixing all the ingredients that
the only baking soda I had was the one for the carpets........well, I just chalked it up to the fact that it's baking soda, how diff could it be & it was ONLY 1 tspn.....ok, call me a big goofy donut, I've definitely said it to myself several times ...but I used it for the cookies

at least Hudson (3.5) and Griffin (2.5) love them


soooooooooo, please don't try this in your house!

ok... anyone else want to make me laugh with a foolish confession of your own?

it's been over a month!

have you missed me????? I know I've missed you :)

dang! I know I was out of town for a whole month....... and it was fabulous... but I've been back home for 2.5 weeks now..........
Cooper was picked to be on Prom Court (2nd or 3rd place for Prom King) and he graduated high school... it's hard to believe that I am now a mom of a high school graduate...
I still need to u/l all of my pictures off of my camera

since I've been back, I've become a bit addicted to the word games on Facebook... oh, they get ya good there.. I've been wasting too much time with them ... wanna play a game with me? add me as a friend .. here's my profile

oh... ya know how I always mention my great bargains at The Gap???? well, yesterday morning I cleaned out our backroom... we had some Gap Kids clothes on the top shelf that really needed to be moved out from early spring & even a bit of last fall....... soooooooo, tons got marked down to $1.97 and $3.97.......... not too much for boys XS (4-5), but I did manage to find a jean jacket, blazer, sweatshirt, and track pants all for $1.97 each (BEFORE my discount).. nice, huh? I love working there!

wellll... now to some design talk.... how would you like some fab bargains??????

my newest additions to Gotta Pixel's very first Gotta Grab It event, Grabba Painted Borders...

How about finishing off your layout with a big chunky puff paint border? This fun scalloping is the perfect framing touch. You can even resize them smaller to be picture frames. Each one has been individually hand painted.
