chirping???

happy weekend everyone!!! the mister took this video and sent it to me at the end of my work day yesterday and it totally brightened up my rather annoying and LONG day. i was cracking up,  she is being so strange! not sure exactly what she is doing here...the mister said she was chasing a fly but she has some strange hunting tactics....chirping it to death or using her dolphin sonar....enjoy!


weather is super amazing so might go lay in the sun and get some kitty supplies and then back home. we werw going to fix  urusla but for lack of better word...the bike shops here are SHITTY!  and urusla's tire is a strange size and none carry them so we have to special order it...bummer! so i am cleaning up mary!

cheers to a great weekend! will be back monday to share with you my weekend crafts and some jewlery! i am super psyched to keep checking things off my 4 simple goals craft list!

oh and THANKS for all the wonderful comments! they always brighten up my day!

a little update here and a little update there...

happy tuesday everyone! just wanted to do some updates on a couple of things....

first off is the #4 simple goal: waking up and thinking something positive: a little hard at first to start off the morning as i have been more tired because of the nightly pounces from the little rosalita but after a morning shower wake up it has proven to help! mostly the positive thoughts that have been floating through my mind each morning have been souly about the mister and how lucky i am to have him in my life. i get to watch him sleep while i get up and just the thought of him sleeping there and looking soo cute starts my day off with a great bang!  he is my best friend in the entire world and i just love the way he loves me!

spreading the love update: got two things checked off my list! I don't see my neighbors very often so i wrote them a litte note asking them when they were free for a get together and left it on their door step. also wrote my co-worker a thank you and once i get paid will get something cute to put in the card :)
hard to post on a blog but i have been smiling at everyone i come in contact with...i only hope they can pass it on or helps brighten their day!

oh my darling: penpal pal project: this is been sooo much fun! i can't tell you all how exciting it is to get a letter in the mail. Here are some of the ones i have gotten so far. i have been using my type writer which has been really fun but also hard because if you make a typo well there is no such thing as delete...but i like the nostalgic sounds of the keys when typing and i hope the others who have gotten my typed notes so far have enjoyed them.

i had a hard time picking out cute note cards that would work with the type writer so i opted for green paper and found this really cute rubber stamp of poppies that look similar to my tattoos, so i thought it was a perfect fit!

taking a stroll

yesterday the mister and i took a walk around our neighborhood! yay for us and sticking to one of my 4 simple goals! it was soo much fun...we didn't take many pictures as it was a first time and it was just so exciting just to be walking around on such a lovely evening! first we walked through meek park which is literally a hop skip and jump away from our house...i wish we took more picture of this but does anyone know what berry grows on trees?? we were completely baffled by this one tree in the park with, what looked like blackberries growing on it and couldn't think of one berry tree...

we spent the entire time pointing and getting really excited about all the cute houses that we never noticed while driving or riding by. there were so many that we loved and some with amazing gardens, some with whimsical forest like front yards and some with awesome cactus jungles...next time i will be sure to capture them so we can all be on the same page...oh and my advice to you is wear comfortable shoes...i was not prepared and i now have huge blisters from my sandals :(

near the end of our lovely stroll on the sidewalk was a box of unwanted treasures and inside i found this amazing woven leather purse!!!!!!!! i was so excited to find this and in great condition too and best of all it was free!!! we are definitely taking more walks :D


what free items have you found that you love?
