Day 355: Me

Had a first date tonight. He was nice and I had a nice time, but unfortunately there was no chemistry. I looked pretty good though, if I do say so myself. ":)

Day 351: T-Shirt Crafts

Today I made a couple braided T-shirt headbands, yesterday I made the grey shrug (in the photo). I dyed the pink tank top (it was white). In addition to the pictured items, I also dyed several PJ pants and PJ shirts. I also did a couple pairs of socks.

Day 350: Rodeo

My coworker's brother-in-law is a rodeo clown, so Ashley and I got to watch the rodeo from the other side of the arena (where the cowboys are). It was pretty cool.

Day 349: Pool Party

The third annual poolwarming party was kind of a dud in that it wasn't warm enough to swim. However, we did have fun playing ladder golf, hanging out, and having a bonfire.

Day 348: Ruby Tuesday

Tonight was Carly's first quilting lesson. After, we went to Ruby Tuesdays for dinner since we had a 25% off coupon. The food was delicious. I can't wait to got there again.

Day 343: Pinterest Party

Amy hosted a Pinterest Party. She served lavender lemonade and I brought garlic-roasted chickpeas. We made resin-filled pendants and bottle cap magnets. I even chalked my hair for the party.
Next time we are going to make scrabble tile necklaces.

Day 341: Goodwill

I went to Salvation Army (or Celebration Army as Lily calls it) looking for a Scrabble game so that I can use the tiles for pendants (thank you, Pinterest), but SA didn't have one, so I went to Goodwill and I'm glad I did. Not only did I find a brand-new Scrabble game for $4, but also got these other treasures which include chalks for my hair (thank you again, Pinterest) and fun mugs for Ash. The icing on the cake? I ran into Lily, Gage, Sarah, and Scott. Lily hugged me and said, "I hugged you because you're my BFF."  ":)

Day 335: Fruit Cycle

Because plain water gets boring, I made fruit water (which I discovered on Pinterest). But then what to do with the used fruit? It's still goodish, though the flavor is watered down. I also found a recipe for Oatmeal to Go on Pinterest, and it calls for applesauce, but we don't eat applesauce (because it reminds me of baby food... ick) so I don't buy it. And really, it doesn't have to precisely be applesauce in the oatmeal recipe... it just needs to be fruit in that consistency. So, I took the leftover fruit from the fruit water and put it in the food processor. Now I have fruit-sauce for the oatmeal and I don't feel so wasteful with the fruit. ":)

Day 332: The Raven

I started reading The Raven in preparation for the new movie starring John Cusack as Edgar Allan Poe. I didn't finish the book before we went to see, the movie tonight, but that was okay. I was familiar with most the stories and poems they referenced in the movie.

Day 328: Fruit Water

This is my new favorite thing to drink. It's just water and fruit, but it's so much less boring than plain water. No sugar added!
