Tried a new chocolate chip cookie recipe today that uses Bisquick. They were cake-ier than I like my cookies, but Luke really seemed to like them.

This lovely moth landed on our house today. Luke was fascinated by it.

It's a beautiful day at work today. Sunshine, blue sky, a few clouds, and the lovely Fox Theatre just up the block.

Safety first, Kitty.

Cheesecake Factory! My parents really like to eat here, and we certainly don't mind tagging along. Dulce de Leche cheesecake (missing it's point! LOL) in the back, and Godiva Cheesecake (which I had not tried before) in front. YUM!!

Decided to try something new at Panera today. This is one of their new pasta dishes. A little under-salted on the pasta, in my opinion, but overall, not too bad.

This is Miranda by Zoya, one of their PixieDust collection. I absolutely love both this color and finish. So pretty, and super sparkly!

Great picture of my mom with Luke.

Mom and I made our first ever trip to Sephora today. Wow! I can see why people love it. The variety is huge and they have testers out of just about everything. However, most things are quite expensive. (Not that we didn't find some things to buy, of course.)

My old phone case (on the left) broke. Waaaah!! I really liked that case! I bought the one on the right at the same time, because I wasn't sure if the floral one would work for my phone. I'll use the circles one now, since my phone needs protection. It's not that I don't like it, I just liked the flowers better.

Blizzard for dinner! Yes, seriously. It has just been that kind of week.

I discovered today at work that if I put bandaids on the tips of my burned fingers, it didn't hurt quite as badly to type with them. Still very unpleasant, but not impossible.

2013-06-18

My first ever attempt at cooking a steak. The steak turned out okay, but I managed to burn my fingers; all four fingers on my right hand, in fact. Ouch.

Look at the pretties! I love linear holographic polishes, and now I have six new ones to choose from.

Happy Father's Day!

2013-06-15

The power is finally back on, but after two days, we have lost every single thing in our refrigerator and freezer. As you can see, I had already started cleaning it out before I took this picture. What a mess, both to clean and to have to restock!

2013-06-14

Okay, power is still out and we've had enough. It's too hot to spend a second night at home, so off to a hotel, which was much harder to find than we anticipated, thanks to Father's Day. Special thanks to my father for helping us find a hotel with a vacancy (since we also didn't have internet access).

2013-06-13

We had a huge big bad storm roll through, and now our power is out. Wonder how long it will be?

2013-06-12

What a lovely drive home. It has been awfully rainy this summer.

2013-06-11

More Coke box art. Go Braves!!

Something about this basket of crayons at Red Lobster tonight just struck me. I like the colors and the texture created by the tips of the crayons.

2013-06-09

It turned out to be more of a movie week here. Today, we took Luke to see Epic at the movie theater. It was okay to the adults, but he really liked it, which is what matters.

2013-06-08

This summer, we are attempting to implement Family Movie Night. Tonight is our first try. Luke absolutely loves popcorn, so when I found these popcorn containers in the dollar bin at Target, I had to get them. Roll film!

2013-06-07

My husband knows me so well. I had an unexpected day off today. People thought we would be going out to a nice lunch together. Nope! He knew I would rather snarf down McDonalds while sitting in the car if it meant that we could see two movies at the theater today, which is exactly what we did. Ah, true love, doing something crazy because you know it's what your partner wants. :-)

One of those "I can't believe I'm posting this" pictures. I wanted an opinion on this shirt from my friends. My mom loved it on me and convinced me to get it, but I wasn't sure about it. Apparently, my friends agree with her!

2013-06-05

Happy Birthday, Nana! Luke made these for you all by himself. He then came to me and asked me to take a picture and send it to you for your birthday.

2013-06-04

As I said, he seems to be really enjoying Harry Potter so far. This is the wand he made at after school care today so he and his friends could act it out.

2013-06-03

We finally started reading the Harry Potter series to Luke. Moving on to book 2 tonight. He seems to be really loving it so far!

2013-06-02

Not sure if Cleo loves Luke's new little tiger or is attempting to crush it to death. I guess this is a "choose your own adventure" picture.

This is what Tigger thought of this bag of bagels. She attacked them through the plastic (for no reason that we can discern) and completely shredded over half of them.
