So there is this site where you can turn yourself into a PowerPuff girl - here. I saw it on vikingprincess's journal and it looked super fun, so I made some PowerPuff Dodgers, which I need to post here, they came out super cute. But then, every year on Mother's Day, I try to do something nice for my sister. She's not my mom, but she had a big hand in raising ( Read more... )

Hope you all are having wonderful Easters/Sundays/Whatevers! We don’t have any family things this year, so Sis decided to take plates of food to various homebound family members. She got all precooked stuff, but still good - ham, potatoes (in garlic sauce), mixed veggies, deviled eggs, rolls and pie. She made up a stack of plates with the food ( Read more... )

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hanging with Sis and BFF tonight, doing Fangirl Christmas. Food, gifts and watching The Wiz Live! (except not live, we taped it on TiVo, lol). I hope you all have excellent New Years Eves, however you choose to celebrate, and most excellent 2016s! I am so glad to have had you all in my life this year and thank you for helping me ( Read more... )

Hello and Happy Easter, friends! I didn't have any family obligations this year, but after my sister went to church, we took a trek out to the farm to visit Grandma and take her some flowers. Then we spent the rest of the day watching Law & Order: SVU, as one does, and I had a nice phone call with The BFF, since we didn't get to see each other ( Read more... )

My sister is flying off to NY tomorrow to see her BFF, so me and my BFF are hanging for the New Year weekend, just the two of us! That'll be cool. It has become a bit of a tradition as my sister has been going to NY for New Years for about 4 years now. Last year we discovered Orange Is The New Black over the holiday weekend. I wonder what we'll ( Read more... )

For Thanksgiving this year, we are just going to my dad’s for dinner. My brother called executive decision on it, because they have both my mom and dad to deal with, plus his in-laws and his wife’s work schedule - (she works at Wendys and is a manger, but not the head-manager, which makes her days off not very flexible). So he declared that this ( Read more... )

So every year we carve pumpkins here. I usually help with the cleaning and gutting and then my sister does all the carving. We buy patterns, but even so, her work is amazing! This year The BFF picked us up a book of Angry Bird patterns. I think they came out pretty good!

Here are our pumpkins from 2010 - 2014!

This year's Angry Birds!

I got up like four hours earlier than normal for Family Easter Breakfast. (Why do these things always have to be at our house?) We usually just have like a half dozen people, all of the family who aren’t married and don’t have other family places to go. This year we extended it a little, to about fifteen people, in an effort to encourage my ( Read more... )

I'm a little sad I didn't have to get dressed today, since it's the one day a year I have an excuse to wear my green Hurley shirt. I bought it back in the days of 'Lost', simply because it said 'Hurley' on it and I love him, but also green is a good color for me and it was a super cute skater-style shirt, so obviously I love it. But I've had it ( Read more... )

I swear, I kept spacing that today was Valentine's Day. All week long. I invited C over for movie night for tonight and then was like, "Wait...it's Valentine's Day on Friday?". I would remember and then forget - idek what's up. I usually get my mom to run to the store for me and pick up something for my sister, but Mom has been super sick all ( Read more... )
