Day In Photos – Part 2
A Day In Photos – Part 1
I figured since I started taking pictures first thing this morning, I might as well keep it up and do a day in photos entry. I don’t think I’ve done one since I was pregnant with Noah. So, here is my ever-so-exciting morning. Obviously, if you continue reading, it’s going to be photo-heavy. You have been warned.

And what were you doing this morning?
Because apparently just sucking on the mustard bottle for 10 minutes wasn’t enough, Noah screamed until I made him a hot dog. At 6 AM. Meanwhile, Jake insisted I get another bottle of mustard out of the fridge for him.
I just don’t understand my kids sometimes.
A New Addition to Our Family
I’m not going to even try to be a smartass and put this beneath a cut and make you think I’m pregnant because you know, that wouldn’t be funny at all. No, this is a much more adult addition. This is our bourbon barrel! Several months ago, Maker’s Mark had a promotion where you could become an “ambassador” and lay claim to a barrel of their delicious bourbon. Since it is our house brand, how could we resist? We got the “birth announcement” and photo from Maker’s Mark yesterday. I just know that it’s going to age the best bourbon ever. I can’t wait until we’re able to order a bottle or two, but until then, we have to patiently wait.
Pretty In Pink
My new needle roll was delivered on Friday night, but it wasn’t until this morning that I got around to finding the rest of my DPNs (which really were all over the house — in my yarn tote, in two different bags, in my notions case, and I think there was one on my dresser) and getting them all organized. It’s so nice to have everything together, neatly. My needles will now be easy to find.
The woman who made it did a great job. Everything is held together really well and I don’t think the stitches will be ripping out anytime soon. Very high quality. If you’re looking for one, the Ebay seller I bought it from has more here. I’m always glad to reccomend other DIY’ers.
It’s Not A Timesaver If It’s Gross
So I’ve been eating a lot of salads these days (and if my scale wasn’t lying to me this morning, it’s paying off because I’ve lost about 10 pounds since Christmas). I don’t really like eating boring green salads and I prefer to keep things interesting with various nuts, seeds, cheeses (well, usually feta or chevre), and varying the vegetables I use. But unless I get my act together early in the week and prep everything, I can get lazy about it. So this week I decided to cheat and buy the prebagged salads. Why? Why do I do this to myself? It’s been a long time since I bought them and I remember not really caring much for them then. Why did I think they’d be good now? Because they’re not. They still smell funny, and they still taste kind of funny. I need to just stick to buying the fresh organic spring mix, or stick to romaine (and maybe have an excuse to get a new salad spinner).
Take Me Someplace Warm!
I know we just came back from a vacation, but honestly the snow outside has me thinking of warmer climates. I would love to be in Florida right about now!
