Saturday sanity~

i missed a few blog days there... once again i forgot how painful may is... so above are some of the creations from last weekend. yes i know mother's day just passed but i consider it early for next year! i'm particularly excited about my beach countdown spinner!

i love that i wake up early (having fallen asleep on the couch at 9pm during our 'romantic evening sans child') and go walk with marina...then realize i get to stay home all day today!

oh and i love when i wake up make my daily trek to the scale and find out i made a milestone! down 9 lbs since jan which is a lot slower than i'd hoped but puts me in a another 10's i haven't seen in awhile.

hubs and i went to our favorite mexican restaurant last night, Acapulcos in Milford. We like seeing the same girl every time and that she recognizes us when we visit. Their chips, salsa and white cheese could be our meal but hubs always goes for the burrito and i skip around the menu. i love their mexican soup of chicken, avocados, rice and broth. yum. last night i had a chicken and spinach quesadilla that was cheesy deliciousness.

Yard Sale Treasure Map looks promising on The Dainty Squid's blog. i haven't yard saled much the last few years bc i'm trying to pair down what i have but i can see the potential of this tool.

hubs and i made our green smoothies this morning after being too swamped this past week...

Marina and i met some neighbors on our walk this morning. of course i took her collar off this morning b4 walking and we meet a man on a recumbent bike and his chocolate male lab... but marina obeyed her lay and stay command and the guy was amazed... on the second pass he stopped to see if i'd let them meet and sniff. sure. until his dog tried to bite marina's nose... anywho those boys can be tricky! but we chatted for a long time and he was a very entertaining senior... those retirees are nothing if not chatty!

i love the word succulents, although i don't really understand what they are. Faux Fuchia had a pic today on her post and i said 'ohh' but still saying the word has to be more fun than growing them... can you believe the word succulents came up twice today (oh, hello friend)

i've been working on my iTunes playlists lately... work, my poolside... cleaned off my desk and swear (again) to keep it that way... did laundry, dishes...
