Repurposing an ugly hutch, now that is a challenge with AS

I repurposed and bought to life an ugly hutch.. read about it on my other page…

Repurposing an ugly hutch, now that is a challenge with AS.

And the culprit is…..

After much sleuthing all evidence is pointing at King Charles aka Sir Barksalot.

Yesterday he took the bait. I placed an empty Dunkin Cup in a waste paper bin and yes, you guessed it. Charlie was seen in a like of laundry removing and chewing the cup.

Like me he is a fan of the French Vanilla.

Suspect #2

King Louis… Otherwise known as Mr. PP

He also should no adverse effects to cafeine. I wondering if the cup was empty… Have to ask hubby.

Suspect #1

King Charlie… Otherwise known as Sir Barksalot.

If it was him the caffeine did not keep him awake.

Dunkin Lid

Found the lid of the destroyed cup…

Still no clues on who did it!

Running On Dunkin?

There’s a dog in the house and it’s running on Dunkin!

Which on was it?!

Life in the Garden Pond…

Yesterday I added a few fish and a tadpole to our little garden pond.

I purchase 12c feeder fish to eat the mosquito larvae… My first batch lasted a while, in fact one still lives 7 years on. Hurricane Sandy turned our garden in to a river and the pond over flowed terribly and the river arose around it.

Up until this morning we had two old fish of different ages, 10 new baby fish and one frog, seemed to be last years tadpole.

I was sad I had not seen the bigger frog at all and we feared that he had been lost in sandy.

This morning I take a stroll to the pond and there he was waiting for me!

I was so happy to see him, his friend was laying in the plant in the pond.

Now all the fish seem alive and happy and the countdown to when the tadpole is a frog has begun…

We love frogs!

How realistic are your flame-less candles?

I love candles. I especially love my battery operated flame less candles that even smells like the real deal.

I love the fact that they are safe when the dogs are running around.

I love the fact that they have a timer and come alive at the same time every day and turn themselves off.

I love the fact that I cannot forget to blow them out should I fall asleep on the sofa.

I love the fact that my hubby, the one that supports the family, the smart one tried to light my new candle.

It was glowing after turning itself on, I thought I should adjust the setting now the days are longer. As I got closer I see a black almost smoke like stain on it. I look at it and the fake wick looks… BURNT!

Who on earth tried to lit my battery operated candle! The new smelly Vanilla one…. really?

At first I thought it might have been son #1, he was playing with fire yesterday. Then it occurred to me that my JAR candle was lit and I didn’t do it.

I ask hubby via text as he had left the house about half an hour earlier…

“Did you light my battery Candle?”

“Ah… I tried. no wonder it would not light”

“LOL, It’s very realistic!”

“That’s F’d up!”

My hubby then went on to tell me that he went in to hysterical laughter whilst those around him had no idea what he was laughing at…..

Try explaining that one Honey!

It looks really real now.

I went to Utah… Look how lovely it was

Last week I went to Salt Lake City for the 1st Jamberry Nail Conference.

We stayed in the Cotton Tree Inn in Sandy, Utah just south of Salt Lake City.

After a long day of travel we arrived very late at night, got ripped of by Thrifty Car hire and attempted to find our destination with the use of an iPhone and google maps!

We did good, got settled in and slept well.

This is our view from the hotel.

At 9am we were traveling by bus to Jamberry Head Office. Here are pics from bus ride.

We were entertained by our tour guide a Jamberry Employee, Jason.

When we arrived we were welcomed with open arms by the wonderful staff. As you can see, they were still getting ready!

This is Adam Hepworth CEO, otherwise known as The Big Cheese!

After a quick and very informative trip we shopped and made sample wheels and headed back to the hotel for a full two day schedule.

During conference we presented Charley Johnson with a check for Pay It Forward…

I won’t bore you with anymore details of the conference but will show you the rest of my photos taken in my free time.

I am sure you will agree that is a beautiful place to visit.

Clocks go forward and Soccer Season commences!

Last night the clocks went forward, I spent all morning wondering what the friggin time was. I was only completely positive if I got the time from the cable box.

Annoying as that was, the 5:30pm U17 Soccer game was played in daylight!

We went to Phillips field in Old Bridge, what a lovely complex. I was so bummed when I realised I had dashed out wearing my jeans. I should have changed so I could run.

Lucky for me I was wearing my trainers. But in jeans and no where near enough boob support, running was not an option!

Instead I got out my phone, started a basic run in Nike + GPS and I started to walk. I walked around the field the entire game… Utilizing the trails so I could still keep an eye on the game.

Here is my walk details…

Who would have thought I could knock up that amount simply by walking instead of standing for the game.

Next week I am going to ensure I am dressed for a run as soon as I get out of bed so I don’t ever miss out on a good opportunity to knock out a possible high miler at a soccer game again.

It was a beautiful evening too.

Shame the game was a loss 😦
