Post #71


That's right people, I've officially had over seventy posts. I like to look at that number, it makes me feel like I've accomplished something. Stay tuned for post number ninety-five, it will have an announcement about post number one hundred that will be very special indeed!

So this weekend is blissfully un-scheduled. Which is good seeing as we leave on Wednesday for the Grand Canyon Camping Trip, and have yet to figure out if our gear will fit in one checked bag and three carry-ons. Wish us luck, I'm interested to see how it all pans out. The Mr. and I are headed to the gym tomorrow morning and then he and LN are going to have a Daddy/Daughter Date. Not sure what they're up to yet, but I'm so happy when they have some extra one-on-one time to bond. Does my heart (and head) good!

Maybe we'll try and hit up the MCAD Student Art Sale. We go every year but this year we don't really have a NEED of anything. However, it's always fun to look! The Mr. bought me a great piece from one of our (now) friends. It hangs in our dining room and was under $100! Great deal!

So that's about it. Well, buying the ingredients for some pies that I'm making for my sister-in-law. I'm sure I'll do some cooking and if I'm lucky I'll have some pictures for a post next week.

TGIF everyone!
Have a great weekend!

Home for Sale, Cheap

Nap time is usually reserved for a mash up of cleaning, organizing, eating, blogging, surfing the web and trying to relax as much as possible before the Little Lady wakes up.  With our house going on the market tomorrow my house is the cleanest it has ever been.  Literally.  I feel like we're living in a model home.  Kind of like Michael and George Michael Bluth from Arrested Development .  It's equal parts nice and annoying.  Nice having a super clean home and annoying that I have to keep it show ready all.the.time. The best part of having a show ready house?  I have nothing more to do during nap time than blog, eat and watch Angel .  Because bad TV at nap time is the best way to relax.  Well, maybe just if you're living in a model home.

Lady in the Sky, With Broccoli

We've had a whirlwind, chaotic, hectic, exciting week.  It was a week of fixes, car naps, quick meals and heat.  Oh, the heat!  I finally feel like today we had the chance to tone things down and take a breath.  The Little Lady and I were left to our devices for the evening while the Mr. took a much deserved night off.  We had a light dinner and then went outside for our favorite pre-bed activity, Bubble Chasing.  (Well, she chases, I blow).  The following conversation ensued. Laying in the grass: MP: Hey LL, look at all those clouds! LL:  Yeah mom, clouds. MP:  What do you see up there?  I see bunny ears! LL:  They just puffy mama. MP: (Humph, this might not work...) LL:  Mama, I see Lady! MP: (Getting excited)  That's great, what's she doing? LL:  Lady in Sky, with Broccoli.  I like Broccoli! MP: Well, yes, it does look like broccoli.  What else do you see? LL:  Poop in a glass.  Hahaha, mama, poop in a glass! And here ends what could have been a touching,

Five Things Friday- Summer Drinks

Hello good peeps!  It's currently 79 degrees in sunny Minneapolis and I think it's high time I shared my favorite summer drinks with you.  Whether you are chilling on a patio, sipping around a campfire or simply sitting in front of your A/C, here are five tasty, cool, refreshing drinks for your  pleasure.  What about you?  What do you imbibe in the summer? Moscow Mule :  I had this for the first time at the beginning of summer and it is just about perfect.  Ginger beer (not ginger ale), vodka and lime come together to form the most refreshing drink you can have on a patio.  Sweet, spicy, with a nice little kick. Surly's Cynic Ale :  A light colored ale with a nice kick at the end.  I could drink pints and pints of this brew.  It's the ideal beer for a back yard BBQ. Arnold Palmer :  Part tart lemonade, part sweet iced tea.  Love this combination in the summer time, especially in the afternoons!  Nothing like a little caffeine kick to get you through the rest of a
