Drink With My Name On It

 

There’s something about my name on a cup, even if it’s spelled wrong!

Whoa, did I just make it through a week of blogging?  I can’t believe it!  Who knew I had so much to write about?!

I would tell you about today, but it involves lots of money thrown at the car dealership & it’s kind of making me sick to think about it again.  But hey, I got a drink with my name on it, so it wasn’t a total bust, right?

Throwback Thursday – Baby Russie

 

This is my dog, Russell, circa 2000.  He’s now 14 years old & still going strong!  He’s a Jack Russell mix breed of awesomeness!

We got Russ from my grandparents back when they still had their farm.  Russ' mom was a mixed breed.  She kind of looked like a Jack Russell Dachshund.  She had the markings of a Jack Russell, but was kind of long.  Well, she got together with the dog down the road that also looked like a Jack Russell, but more scruffy, which resulted in Russ and his siblings.

He lives with my parents, but I see him all the time.  He's at that age now where I've given him a free pass to do whatever he wants.  He wants to squeeze in and sit beside me when I don't want him to?  Oh alright, get over here!

Popsicle Love

Google image search for "homemade popsicles"

Right here is probably my meaning of failure.

I really want to make homemade popsicles.  I bought some molds and then I Google searched for “homemade popsicles”.  Right about then is when my sense of failure set in.

You see, I’m not a chef.  Not even close.  I very rarely prepare anything from scratch.  Frozen meals have been sustaining our household for quite some time.  And homemade desserts?  Totally nonexistent.  Every once in a while, though, I get the urge to want to make something homemade and I guess popsicles are my flavor of the week.  Well, up until I image searched for them.

I’m still going to attempt to make my own popsicles, but I can almost guarantee that they will not turn out as great as those ones above!

I’ll let you know how it goes.

Working On The Farm

You guys, I’ve been so tired lately.  I’ve been putting in many hours working on the farm.  I go there before my regular job & log in many hours after.  You can find me there late into the night, making sure everything is just right.  It’s a lot of work, but, to me, it’s totally worth it.

Aaand this is the farm I’ve been working on!  I’m so addicted to Farm Heroes, y’all!  You can totally find me out in the car before work, trying to line my crops up just right!  I’m still at it during the night too, when I should be sleeping.  I don’t know what it is about this game, but I’m hooked!

If only I could get this dedicated about other things in my life…

Happy August!

 

How is it August already?  It seems like the time has been flying by lately.  We’re almost at the end of summer already!  NOOO!

Can we just take a sec to talk about this picture?  Are mirror pictures still a thing?  They are in my world, apparently.  Also, the flash was totes not a good idea.  What do I know, I shoot in “auto”!  Also, that’s not my camera, so long hair, don’t care about camera settings!

I’ve got some exciting things coming to you on this blog for the month of August.  And by exciting, I mean I’m posting a lot more.  Yeah, it’s probably total snoozefest stuff, but I’m writing.  Yay!
