Lately...

How cute is he?!

This is why I should never stencil anything. I can't figure out how to do it without making a huge mess!

So, I painted it again by hand, and got it to look okay.

In the middle, before the stencil! 

Before...my $5 find! 

Its bonfire season!

And, smore season! Unless you're with a 5 year old, then it's "snore" season.

I bought this desk in Mt Vernon. I was hoping for something functional, but now I'm worried about using it, since a few experts think it's from the late 1800's. Here's hoping its worth a lot of money!

We went to Mt Vernon for Chalk the Walk--I love this event!

Tomatoes!

Strawberries!

Red peppers!

Mint! Hopefully something grows!

Pork & pineapple stir fry in lettuce cups with pepper jack cheese. Yum!

It's hard to stay mad at him...

I've realized that I'm old now, and I need coffee all throughout the day to keep functioning. I drank this one at 5pm.

Birthday fun in Kalona!

He loves sitting in here & hiding. 

Spring Happenings

Librarians on the loose in the Newbo district! Very thankful my friend Lynn is moving closer to CR this summer!

Sometimes I read very opposite things....

Isn't he so cute?!

I cooked up a BLT pizza and it was SO good. 

I found a use for the plastic wine glasses that I've been toting around in my trunk since last July. 

My reading Bitmoji!

My room is a mess, but isn't he so handsome?

Somedays a girl needs 2 coffees for a morning full of meetings.

Loved getting to see these ladies at IASL in early April. 

This cat often finds himself in trouble.

I cleaned behind the fridge and found Pacino's stash of mice. 

Those teeth!

One of the best things about Spring is jellybean season! And I have friends that are always buying them for me--better yet!

These pretty flowers were sent from my coworkers. That sunflower is amazing.

The hospital had a pineapple lamp!

Hiatus

Well, it's been another long, accidental hiatus from blogging. Here's some pictures from the last 3 months:

I bought Pacino a new food dish! I put water in it first, to see if he'd drink out of there instead of the tub. Not looking like it's going to work...

Cyclones won the Big 12 tourney, so the bartender made us red/yellow shots!

After my recent trips to the doctor & hospital, I've been living on these comfort foods.

Pacino isn't amused at having his picture taken.

Pasta, asparagus, chicken, tomatoes, and garlic parmesan lemon sauce. 

And asparagus in eggs, too!

My new mug!

It's officially jelly bean season!

A tour of Central Iowa!

The private investigator that came to school to subpoena me....

Nerdy coffee cup!

My nerdy purchases in Galena. 

Fun at the Comic Con!

They had video gamer energy juice shots, ha!
