Happy Happy Happy!

Photobucket


- I'm happy that I'm starting to actually DO more with Pinterest. It's inspired me to think of new ways to be more organized. And I've tried some new recipes. Last week I had my parents and my sister over for Crockpot BBQ Chicken. It was hard smelling it cooking for 4 hours! Aubry and Ashlyn thought it was a bit spicy but everyone liked it. Last night, I had two leftover chicken breasts and I felt like more BBQ chicken. I decided to change it up a bit...biggest thing cooking it in the sauce on the stove instead of the crockpot. I cut it into strips so it didn't take long to cook. And it tasted AWESOME. It wasn't as spicy, either, so I think the girls will like it better, too. I kinda just threw some ingredients together but I did try to put the recipe together and added it to pinterest. My cameraphone doesn't take the most awesome food pictures but I only had about 5 seconds before I started stuffing my face. ;) This summer I hope to do a lot of the craft projects with the girls that I've found on pinterest.

- I've started playing Draw Something. I've seen people talking about it for awhile and I downloaded it...but hadn't played. Last night I couldn't sleep because of vertigo and a headache so I thought I'd jump in. I really like playing it...even though it kinda makes me feel a bit self-conscious about my art skills. Especially when they can see the pictures you've "trashed" too. lol. :P I've discovered I'm really not that great at drawing with my finger on my phone. And I have a Zagg screen protector and it's kinda rubbery-ish and not very smooth so that doesn't help. But I've really liked playing and seeing what other people draw. :) My username is tinycandi if you want to play with me!

- The school called to say that Ashlyn has a fever so I went to pick her up. I'm not happy that she's sick...but I'm happy that it means we get to cuddle on the couch together until her dad gets home from work. She's asleep now.

- Watching CSI Miami makes me happy...and I'm super happy that there were new episodes this week. Of course, I haven't watched the two newest episodes because I've been busy working on pictures so I just watch reruns on my TV instead of the new ones on my computer. But they're there when I'm ready! :)

- Speaking of pictures...I finished the 1 week photo shoot of my niece! So now I just have her baptism pictures...which I'm about 1/4 of the way through. :P But I really like working on my pictures so it's not too bad. After the baptism pictures I'll have some time to catch up on my own...I have Ashlyn's music program and need to catch up on my 366day photo project.

- The weather is BEAUTIFUL. Today it's supposed to be 80 here in Kansas! My friend Mark is going to take me out for a ride on his motorcycle this week...if the weather stays nice. So hopefully it works out! :)

- My phone is dying...which doesn't really make me happy...but I am available for an upgrade in April so that makes me happy! I think I'm going to get the HTC Rezound...anyone have any experience with that phone? According to the specs it has everything I want (mostly impressed with the 8mp rear camera and 2mp front camera). Right now I have the HTC Incredible which I've LOVED but after the phone upgrade a couple months ago, my phone hasn't been the same. It randomly turns off, does funny things when I'm on the phone, and just in the last couple weeks my speaker blew. BUT...just one more month and I get a brand spanking new phone! :) Shiny new electronics make me happy.

- I'm just in a really good mood today...which is nice because I guess I've been PMSing the last week...I've been pretty darn cranky. So...being happy goes on my happy list! :)

What is your happy list? Link up and share!

Happy!

I literally have about a dozen unfinished posts in my "drafts" folder. Most of them end up being long rants about my ex-husband...because it seems his aim lately is to be the biggest jerk ever. Then I get myself all mad again and never end up finishing them. Because really...all it boils down to is that he's the biggest jerk ever.

SO...instead of wasting my time rehashing things that never change anyway...here's a much more happy post!

Photobucket


I'm happy that...

...I made some progress getting photos done. I took the 1-week photos of my niece over a period of 2 different days and I finished post-processing the first batch. Now I just have the second day of photos to finish and her baptism photos that I took on Sunday.

...My grandma called me yesterday and left a voicemail telling me how cute I looked in my black corduroy pants and my grey shirt while I was taking photos on Sunday. It's always nice to hear something like that...but it was extra nice because I was feeling pretty sicky over the weekend.

...I was finally able to take the girls to the eye doctor (I had to take it upon myself to get the girls' insurance card because XH wouldn't give me one). I'm really glad...because Ashlyn has been having some difficulty at school...and it turns out that the issue is likely because of her eyes. We're hoping that the glasses she is getting will help that! And I have to say...she looked pretty cute trying them on. Hopefully they will come in soon...she asks me everyday if they've arrived yet. :)

...Had my parents over for dinner tonight and that's always nice, too!

Overall, it's been a pretty good week. :)

Tuesday Happy List!

Photobucket


I'm happy that...
...I'm finally feeling better after being sick Thursday-Saturday. My mom and dad both ended up getting it too...and luckily they're starting to feel better as well.

I'm happy that...
...last night my sister came over and brought my nieces...so I got to snuggle the baby. :) She was born on Tuesday and is still in that sleepy, squishy newborn stage. It's my favorite baby stage. :)

I'm happy that...
...I'm making progress getting done with all the pictures I took of my niece's birth! I got sick shortly after she was born so I didn't get them finished as fast as I was hoping...but now I'm making headway!

I'm happy that...
...I picked up my diploma yesterday! I still need to order my 5 free copies of my transcript...but it finally feels "finished."

I'm happy that...
...I'm going to dinner with a friend of mine Friday night. She and I try to get together every few months and catch up. Friends and Olive Garden...definitely happy list material! :)

I'm happy that...
...my girls come home an hour early tomorrow! :) I let their dad have them an hour early on Sunday to take them to a hockey game...so I get them an hour early Wednesday. :)

Just a sample of my happy things. :) What are you happy about this week?
