MIA

I know that I have been completely absent the last few weeks. Recently, I have been so overwhelmed with weddings, showers, traveling, and just day to day life. 

Wild Dunes, South Carolina

I don't know if I have really mentioned it before, but Hubby has been deployed {sort of - it's kind of hard to explain, so we'll just leave it at deployed} since November, and was supposed to be returning in May. Until it was decided that he would be staying where he's at {again, kind of. He doesn't really stay in one place for long} for another 4 months. 

With Hubs being gone, taking care of the little guy, and just keeping up with everything else in our lives that has to be taken care of....I am completely worn out. It has been hard for me to find the energy to get any of our home projects done, craft with Bubba, and write. But, after my {very } short getaway last weekend, I have recharged my batteries {as much as I could}, and am ready to face off with the next few months.

With all that being said, this is what we have been up to:

Sil and I took a trip up to South Carolina for one of our best friends wedding.

It rained during the ceremony, but the pay off was this gorgeous rainbow that appeared right after they were pronounced husband and wife. So AWESOME!

Sil caught the bouquet. She claims that she didn't mean too; but it's quite fitting, since she will be my last un-married friend as of November.

We went blueberry picking at one of our favorite local blueberry farms, BlueYouth Berries. 

Creating beautiful works of art using glue, kool-aid, and pieces of paper. 

I've also been working with my friend Jill, on some projects to sell...visit our blog

After our upcoming trip to visit my brother, things should be pretty calm around here for a few weeks. Then, on to my best friend JJ's wedding (#2 of 4) in June. 


Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend!

Oh, Sky Mall, You Kill Me

After suffering through the majority of my return flight {from a very painful headache that hit me out of no where...don't ya just hate when that happens}, I started flipping through the pages of Sky Mall to entertain myself for the remaining 30 minutes {keep in mind that this was a 3 hour flight...yea, so much fun}. 

And, oh boy, was I entertained. 

Seriously, could someone please tell me who comes up with these crazy products. And then, who is the crazy person at Sky Mall that says, 'Hey, ya know what? I really think we should put this in our catalog because I'm just so sure someone will be insane enough to want to buy it as they fly through the air.'?

Yoga Sandals.

Really? If you're that concerned about improving your posture, then I would suggest not wearing sandals at all. Just a thought though. 

Litter Kwitter.

Potty train you cat faster than most people can potty train their kids....for the bargain basement price of $49.99. I think that people can potty train their kids cheaper than potty training their cat. 

"Peeing Boy of Brussels" Fountain

If I wanted to see a little boy peeing by my pool, I would just have to look over at my son. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will admit that Sky Mall almost had me hooked on a few things.

This chair/step stool combo is really quite awesome....there have been so many times that I have grabbed a chair to stand on because I was to lazy to go get the step stool. However, I am not inclined to pay $150 for this....you lost me on this one Sky Mall. 

I kind of really love this sign...and I'm considering making my own version, that would cost me less than $25 to make. {gosh I'm so cheap, complaining about $25. seriously though, if I didn't think I could make it myself, then I would totally just buy it}

Oh and let's just take a second to note the ridiculous Cast Iron Giraffe Paper Holder next to this lovely plaque. I cropped it out of the picture, but there are a few rolls of toilet paper around it's neck. 

I think this necklace is quite cute. It reminds me of a Thomas the Train video that Bubba watches on You Tube. The song repeats over and over again to Never Never Never Give Up. Although, the video is pretty annoying, I do enjoy the message. 

Well, this completes our first installment of 'Oh, Sky Mall, You Kill Me.' Stay tuned for my next trip {I have plenty of them this year} to see the crazy things I find. 

P.S. Please let me know if you, or someone you know, has any of these things. It would seriously make my day.
