Just heard from the camera repair shop and it’s going to be $200 to get my camera fixed! WOW…
Well, gotta do it… I’ve been without a camera since May. I’ve missed 3 months of pictures.

I got a new Blackberry, so I have a camera now. The old one stopped working after I had the phone only 3 days, so I sent it back and they shipped me a new phone. Know what this means? PICTURES! WOOHOO! I know, I know… my REAL camera is still broken, but cell phone pictures are better than NO pictures, right?
uuuuuuugh, they need to make a vaccine for parents to take. I’ve got a sniffy, sneezy, snorty, sinusy head cold… I get it every year when school starts. Abby brings it home to me (how nice of her). She doesn’t get sick – I guess she’s just the carrier.
But on the bright side, Puffs makes tissues infused with Vicks Vapor Rub. I KNOW! Awesome. I slept with one on my face last night. Didn’t help in the long run, but at least I could breathe a little…
Anyone out there tried Hercules Hooks? They’re a bit expensive ($16 for 20 of them at Bed Bath and Beyond), but oh my – they’re freakin’ awesome! I have 2 huge mirrors… one is heavy and the other one weighs about as much as a baby elephant… and I hung them both by myself the other night. Figure out where you want to hang something, press the hook into the wall, spin it around and hang whatever you want! They each hold 40lbs-or-so, so I used 2 on one mirror and 3 on the other. Man-oh-man… I’m IN LOVE! I envision hanging stuff into the wee hours of the morning too. Want to know why? NO HAMMERS ARE INVOLVED! Yes, that’s right, the kiddos will sleep peacefully while Mommy is in “picture hanging bliss”! And one of the best parts is that if you remove the hook from the wall, there’s only a tiny little pin-hole in the sheetrock.
Hercules Hooks ROCK MY WORLD!!!
If at first you don’t succeed, redefine success.
Ok, I’m going to try this again. I PROMISE to blog at least once a week until I can get back in the swing of things.Scout’s Honor (I’m sitting here holding up my scouts’ salute).
In all honesty, the last 4 months have been insane! My camera broke (and is still broken so that’s why I’ve got no pictures), School ended, Summer vacay has been fun but crazy, I bought a house (YAY), I’ve been moving into said house, I’m totally and completely broke (the product of buying a new house), I got a new dog (long story for another day), etc… It’s a bunch of craziness I tell ‘ya!
So, once again – I’m going to try to PROMISE that I’ll at least come on here once a week to bore you to tears entertain you with my wonderfully not exciting life!!!
When I got home from work yesterday, my coffee was waiting for me on the doorstep. Talk about fast delivery – i just ordered it Wednesday afternoon (they must know this girl was OUT and NEEDED some caffeine)!!! Anyway, I figured I’d get adventurous and try 2 new seasonal coffees and I’m really happy I did. The first coffee I ordered was the Island Coconut from Green Mountain Coffee Company.
This one is a limited edition and before it goes away, I’m going to buy several boxes. OH MY… it’s HEAVEN IN A MUG! It smells like a tropical vacation and tastes even more luxurious! The fruity, nutty aroma of the coconut is intoxicating and definitely woke me up this morning!
The second one I ordered is the Sugar Bush Maple from Timothy’s and it too is divine! This coffee has a yummy relaxing scent when it is brewing and that first sip just makes you sigh… this is definitely a comfort-coffee! You can taste the maple sweetness without it actually having any sugar in it… Mmmmmmm!
I can’t recommend this coffee maker enough! It’s great for those of you who like 1-2 cups in the morning (not a whole pot) or those who like a little variety.
