It's week 22...No Way!

Lucky:.I wish I could get a winning lottery ticket.
Daily Ritual: should be to write on here every day but, we know that doesn't happen.
Borrowed:I have the neighbors cook books. 
Pink: that shouldn't be to hard
S: so many things to choose.
Over there: sounds like someone doesn't want to get up and help..just point.
HA HA HA: this should be easy.


I love this background. Who ever did this weeks did a great job.
I found out that fatmumslim is here next to my town.  That would have been so cool to meet her and maybe show her around and see what she would take pictures of around my hood. I hope she enjoyed Disneyland.  The big celebration was on Friday, May 22.  The park was open for 24 hours. Every news person was there and every one who wanted to be seen was also there. I had the day off and stayed away, it's really not my place to go any ways.
Have a great night, see you tomorrow.

Let's color some fun

 I am looking for this book.  It is for adults to color.
It is suppose to help you feel better...well, not sure about that now. I'm sure sleeping will be top on my list for that..lol
This looks like fun.
Now this one could be a challenge.
I would really have to put on my thinking cap to make this one a work of art. 
 This one looks like eyes are watching you.
Or maybe a crazy sea shell.
 Now this could possible be a complete master piece when finished. Kinda a little 70ish if you ask me.
Oh Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tooties pop?  If you are old enough, you remember that whole slogan.


You know where I found this. Yes, on Fat Mum Slim blog. Got to love what she puts out there.
She said we could copy them and then I guess they put them up on your blog or maybe fb..she has some fun things to do and it always looks like fun.
She sent out a box with a little play camera, bubbles,glitter, sharpie marker, a candle, and color plastic wrap.  You are to get creative and take pictures of what you come up with.
Since, she doesn't follow me..I'm thinking I could find all of those things and take a few pictures.
I will get started and show them to you later.


I have two more days off...singing...oh heaven, simply heaven.
I have done a few great things.  I just got back from going out to dinner with my friends next door. That was alot of fun, way better then Hamburger Helper makes a great meal.
I have done alot around this shack.  I mowed the lawn and played in the garden..looks so much better.  I took back recycle.  Took a good nap!! Laughed with Princess P and took her out for some drive time.  
Tomorrow is another day to play, can't wait.
Oh did I tell you I have my eye on a really cool car!  A Jeep Renegade..way cool, with many fun colors.  Just might need to buy one of those.
Off to get some more sleep in me.
Smile brighter its working for you!

Jenny's College Art

 This is Jenny.
She is an amazing artist, who is very shy about her work.
She goes to the local college (as where my kids go and where I once went). My bonus daughter txt me about this evening event so, after working 12 hrs. that day, I changed my clothes put on a never been to one of these events face and this is what I found!
I was surround by ppl who looked like they enjoyed art. I didn't know if I could take pictures so, I missed a few other things that she has done in this class...darn. 
This is her looking into a mirror...how do I know this?  Her hair goes the other way when you are looking at her.  She is so beautiful, this look isn't one that I see often.  To know her is something you must earn.
If I would have centered this picture better it would have been a master piece.
This is probably a small piece of her world.
I see her girlfriends eyes (at her lips), dog Shane, Disneyland cash, a game, fries from McD, art supplies, marriage, pizza, time, and many other things that are who she is as a person.
I really like this one the best.
Every art student has one of these. 
This gets the eye.
Maybe this is from a game and she put in her dog Shane, right in the middle.
The moon looks like a ear ring to me.
Those square boxes were my night mare in 7th grade art class...hahaha.  I think we all have had that moment. 
This is her room, for being a great student.  She also received some money to continue her classes. 
Good Luck Jenny, take that cash and color the world with your art. 
This is something I found on a wall in the halls of the art classes.
It caught my eye because I love Coke bottles!!! I guess that's a church.
Things above this look like doodlings from others.

It was fun to go and she was surprised to see me there.
I saw others that I had known from my school days there. It's funny how they see you & still act like they are in high school & can't say hello or past a smile.  No hurt feelings on my part, I'm thinner!! LOL  

                             Hugs to Jenny for giving others a time to relax & enjoy Art.

Good bye David Letterman

A finally farewell to a man who has made me laugh so many nights.
Dave Letterman is someone I never met and hoped I would someday go to New York and see his show.  That will never happen now.
I started watching him on my little black & white t.v. and last night sat with three of my kids, watching his last show on our flat screen. How our lives change through time. Mine for the better. 
Dave's show had so many things to laugh with, from stupid pet tricks to him throwing things off New York buildings. Who could forget his top 10 list that where always funny, and then there was the slow nights that he would bring out Regis.
Good Bye Dave..Enjoy your retirement, Harry your son and time to do what makes you happy!
You will be missed.

Kraft Magazine May 2015 Food & Family

Found this magazine and how could I not buy it.  This cake talked to me.
I have never seen this magazine and now I will be on the look out for more issues!
It's the Spring '15 issue..to be displayed until May 19, 2015..$5.99u.s.d.
Kraft Kitchens Expert Susanne Stark has done a great job on this one!
There are 60 pages of yum yum.
Here are a few of my favorites..enjoy! 
Princess P and I got this together..winner!
I have never made a two layer cake but with the easy steps on page 35 you can't go wrong and it was tasty.
I found the color sugar and we went for yellow, orange and pink. All you do is cut marshmallows at a slant and put the sugar on the wet part.
What a beautiful cake.
I took it to work for my Alicia birthday.
She was so excited. Then the tasting began at 10am, we eat lunch at 7:30 a.m.
The boss said how much he liked it...big whoa.
This is page 35.  Can you see how many times I have used this mag now..lol
I need to make the chocolate one next. 
At the bottom is direction on how to arrange the marshmallows, we put the sugar in a bowl and dip them in..easier.
We are going to try the mini mellows and see what we come up with.
You can do this trust me its so easy and everyone thinks you have talent!!hahaha..but you do.
This is a must salad.  So easy.
Its 2 cups of rotini pasta, mix 1/2 cup of ranch dressing, 1/4 cup of miracle whip
Chopped romaine lettuce, I used more then a cup.
Chopped cherry tomatoes, bacon bites & some avocado if you want..thats it, so good
I'm going to put sunflower seeds in it next time.
Don't you love the vintage brown tupperware bowl..lol
It looks like a mess here but oh so yummy.
So simple, find it on page 44 
This is my next master piece..lol
It's a potato that you cut and put cheese and meat in the cuts.
Who doesn't love a potato!!!
Looks hard but it isn't, find it on page 8. 
They call this a pancake, I call this..a must to make!
3 eggs, 3/4 cup of milk, 3 tbsp. butter, melted, 3/4 cup of flour, 1 tbsp. cornstarch,  strawberries, blackberries, strawberry flavor gelatin 1/2 cup of water and 2 tsp. of fresh lemon juice
Use a 9 inch deep dish pie plate, bake for 25-35 mins.
Now how hard can that be..find this on pg.58..its called Fresh berry dutch baby pancake.
Gnocchi..I don't know about the spelling but I do know I love this stuff.
I have always found it in hard plastic on the top shelf of the store.  Now I can make it myself..so happy.
This is a must try, page 11
This is made by Kraft Kitchens Expert Floria Hernandez, its called Perfect Philly gnocchi with fresh tomato sauce.





I hope you find time to make some of these like I have. I'm so excited that I found this magazine.
Have a great Sunday.
I'm off to full my day with happiness..Hugs!

I'm a little behind on Photo a day

I need to play catch up on this challenge of Photo a Day.
I am having a issue with my pictures I can't get them to come up.  Why this one worked....who knows!
I have done a few things in the past few weeks.
I baked an amazing cake.
Had a party at work.
My flowers are growing.
I have done way to much over time and my body feels it.
I will try again tomorrow.
