oversized

tonight we went to borders because I wanted to get the 3rd book in the Twlight series....which I did get but ALSO got the most wonderfully amazing deal on one of my all time favorite books..Corduroy! i have always loved this book and what better thing to get than an oversized version! Ben got a book about the cosmos which was equally big-just with more pages. So..this is how we spent out Friday night....

I am also purchasing this book online tonight....I am crocheting again and will hopefully someday be able to make these cute creepy guys.....


and here is ben doing a little light reading before bed:

Flat

This morning Ben had a flat tire on his jetta...he couldn't get it off so after driving to church..in my car, he tried some more...with no luck whatsoever.

He ended up calling a tow truck. I wanted to go along to keep ben company so I came with. The tow truck driver had a kids car seat in the front that he had to move for us to both get in. He was like..."Yah, my son comes with me on night tows, I've got this dvd player he can watch movies on and he can even play his WII." Weird. Ohh...and the drivers fly was WAY unzipped, luckily he was wearing underwear.

So here we are sitting in the Sears Auto Center... waiting. The funniest part to me is that the tv is on the PBS station playing a show about champagne production on the Danube. Yep...here in the sears auto center we sit watching a tv show about champagne...the type of people waiting here with us are not what I would necessarily consider wine connoisseurs but hey, who knows. Its been a little adventure that's for sure!

.....So just a little update for all those who care...they couldnt get the bolts of Bens car tire and it has to stay over night and soak in oil-the bolts...to hopefully loosen them up. Since I rode with Ben in the tow truck we didn't have a way home....smart move by me....and we were about 3 miles away. We thought about taking a cab and then saw the bus stop but the bus wasnt coming....so we started walking and it was cold....BUT as we were walking we spotted the bus and sprinted to the next bust stop...just in time to catch the bus..which took us much closer to home in a much warmer environment.....phew....what an afternoon....we are so glad to be home

Beads Galore!

Today ben and I decided to go to a thrift store here in oak park I heard about. It wasn't the greatest but I got a few books AND a bag of misc. bead stuff for $6.00! Can't beat that! Not that I needed all these bead supplies, but who doesn't need bead supplies, charms, string, books about beading, etc....

Jello semi-flop

well..i tried to make the jello again..with the correct measurements this time.....they still weren't easy to get out of the molds but I got a few letters/numbers out of it...I think I might resort to making ice cubes and other fun things with them....


BUT a great thing happened today at the grocery store....I found GRAPPLES!  Yep....you read that right-grapples.... apples flavored with grape!!  They were a bit expensive for only 4 but I have always wanted to try them and YUMMO are they good!! i love grape and i love yummy apples!

jello flop

so i finally got my cool new alphabet and number molds in the mail! I decided to make jello numbers. I mixed up a pack and put it in....not thinking that DUH jello is a bit mushy and I need more than 1 pack to make it into a jello jiggler! I thought..whatever-I'll see what happens. Here is how they looked all filled with jello (and the number one without jello):
here is how they looked when I took them out this morning:

 
amm..yeah, I will definitely be attempting this project one more time...with the correct amount:)
in the meantime I have decided I need to get more of these super cute plates like the 2 I got at Christmas....they are just too much fun!

sunday eve

its sunday eve and i am just sitting here watching Planet Earth with Ben. Its been a snowy weekend and i have not liked it-luckily i didnt have to really go out into it except to shovel the cars out and walk to Whole Foods to get some groceries. we did stop by walgreens as well and i got this little mushroom guy-isn't he cute? He is like the eggling I have-you crack the top and a little plant should eventually start to grow....I wanted the one with the red top but it wasn't the plant I liked-this one is a snapdragon. i am looking forward to seeing him grow!



I forgot to share this gem of a game with you. when we went to peoria over christmas-bens aunt had given me this game ...it was in a white box and it said something like-Clean Words Game. I thought...hmm... whatever I don't want this. Then I took another gander at the dice and was like-yeah, on second thought-I'll take that;) Its quite the collection of dice with quite the selection of words-I have given you the privilege of reading one side on each dice....some are even "dicier" on the other sides so I have censored them;) I think it might be like another game I have: Dirty Minds. It gives you words that make you think all kinds of possible dirty things but really it is explaining regular items...so who knows! There were not directions with this but it cracks me up none the less.....I think I might call them my Dirty Dice.....



nothing much more exciting is going on here...ben is going to be at CSO rehersal practice pretty much every night this week and I'll be hanging out by myself... thats pretty much the extent of our upcoming week:) And of course I'm sure the week will contain more snow which-gee, I just can't wait for....

2 of my favorite things

I have been wanting this calendar for awhile...I love the prints and am hoping to frame them when I'm done with the calendar....so I ordered it online cause I couldn't find it anywhere else and it arrived today!! Now I just have to find the right wall spot for it.


My other favorite things are my sushi dish towels...I just think they are so fun...even though I never really eat sushi:)


My poor little 3 year old cousin sienna was taken to the emergency room today and she was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes...she will pretty much have diabetes the rest of her life...maybe even up to 6 insulin shots a day. I feel so bad for her. She is hopefully recovering and will be able to do ok now that they know what she has...it was so bad that she almost slipped into a coma... she got help just in time-any later and it would of been too late. It makes me quite sad for her...



Anyways...I went to the Y last night at 7:30. Bad idea...all those new years resolution people had taken over the equipment....tonight I'm going at 8...hopefully avoiding all the busyness!
