Stinky

My house reeks.

We are finally in the home stretch of having the lower level completed – only a few weeks left to go. Right now they’re working on staining the wood, and goodness me but there is a lot of wood down there to stain.

Whenever I think of the word ‘stinky’ my mind goes to the movie Green Mile. They’re all on death row, and the crazy guy in the corner cell starts singing, “Barbeque, me and you, stinky pinky, pew, pew, pew.” Yeah, a little morose. But it happens every time.

Do you connect random things with old movies?

Beginning soon, my pics will include my new updated hair. I’m back… [Continue Reading]

  • I love to use mason jars in all kinds of ways. We drink out of them. I use them as vases. They’re an easy vessel for candles. And what’s cuter than a little token of friendship, planted in a mason jar and tied up with a burlap strip? Not much, I tell ya. In honor… [Continue Reading]

    DIY Mason Jar Plantings
  • I’m trying to think of something, anything, other than to complain about the crazy weather we’ve been having around here. But it’s sorta hard to do. One minute it’s beautiful and sunny, the next moment it’s gloomy and drizzling, and the next? I’m practically blown away from insane wind gusts. But it’s all good. Cuz… [Continue Reading]
