grrrrrr....

For those of you who may have been wondering if I fell off a bridge {or jumped}...I have not! Sadly, my computer has. It has been insane torture. Torture.
Back in the end of April, my computer picked up a really cool virus {thanks for the protection antivirus software!} so my girl was completely wiped out. Which meant I went without the ol' laptop for two weeks while she was hospitalized and brought back to life. Then I was allowed to see her again...it was like bringing your newborn home from hospital! So exciting- I held her in my lap in the passenger seat of the car {okay-not quite like when I brought my kids home from the hospital- but you get it!}
Now you think everything is back to the way it was- surfing the net, buying from my preferred sites, checking in on my daily favs....wrong! Ever since I got my girl back she has been acting strange- kicking me off the internet, freezing up, not allowing accessing to certain sites. I am sure you feel my frustration.
I am hoping to clear this matter up this week.

Keep your fingers crossed!

it's raining, it's pouring

...wish I was snoring! Yes, it was my first day back to work after my lovely- well deserved break. It was a rough one too- it was rainy and gloomy- making it that much harder to start the day. Better believe I got my double shot of espresso today! And to top the day off I accumulated a killer headache...
wishing for a brighter tomorrow!

weekend wishes

Here's to a fabulous weekend! It is gorgeous out- so if you must partake in some serious shopping- I suggest doing it outside...you never know, it may snow next week!

chicken + chips = yummm

{White Chicken Tortilla Soup}

I made this super easy- even more delicious than it looks number tonight- courtesy of Miss Erica. She posted this recipe a few days ago and I have been salivating ever since. It was seriously so good- there are no leftovers {I recommend doubling the recipe now that I know!} The best thing about this soup besides the fact that it is scrumptious...you can find most ingredients right in your kitchen.

sole searching...

Yes...I am on a mission to place some of my most prized possessions on display in a neatly, organized matter. My shoes are in desperate need of a new home. I am afraid to even show {or tell} you their current living quarters. Someone should take my shoes away from me.

How do you store and organize your pretties? How many shoes do you have to work with?

Help a girl out...
Here are my guidelines for organizing:
1. needs to be in my closet
2. would like easily accessible {open} storage...so I can see all of them!
3. needs to be on the floor

happy easter

to all you chicks...

easter wishes for peeps, reese's eggs, and chocolate bunnies

oh happy day

What could possibly make the day before the beloved giant bunny brings baskets full of sugar to your house that much better????
drum roll please...

That is right. I am certain I am the last person on earth to do it- but it happened today...I caved and got Directv-DVR- the whole package. I have never in my life seen my children so happy. You would have thought we won the lottery. Or bought a whole pet store. Hannah actually hugged me and told me she loved me! For the first time in our lives- we have cable. Pathetic {I am aware of this}.
We finished this joyous day {or holiday to my children} with some egg dying fun.

Lil Jackson was so impressed with this concept {he must not have remembered from last year!} He had to dunk his egg in every color- by himself of course!

{Hannah and Jackson were so proud of their eggs!}

And speaking of that cute giant bunny...

I hope yours does not look like this!
