Works For Me Wednesday

I have never done a WFMW, but I have something that works for me that I want to share.

I have quite a few pieces of jewelry. Most of it came from jewelry parties that I have had or gone to. If you want to add some different pieces to your collection, hosting a party is the way to go. I know some people don't like to go to them, but I think that they are fun. The problem is that all the jewelry comes in little boxes and I don't have much room for all of those. So, here is my solution. I went to Wal-Mart and bought a fishing tackle box for about $4.00. They are very affordable and you can make the compartments any size you want. I also like that I can see everything in a glance. The foam that is in the bottom came from the boxes that the jewelry came in. I just cut them down to fix. Very easy.

I can't take credit for coming up with this idea. I think it was something that my dad and mom thought of. It works for me!

What's your flavor?

So, yeah, there's not much going on around here today. Let me know what flavor you are!

You Are Bubblegum Flavored Gum

You are friendly, outgoing, and energetic. You love life, and you can always find some reason to smile. You are a bit hyper, and you're always looking for your next challenge. You love getting things done - and you are usually on the go. Your confidence and positive attitude makes you a very attractive person. You can be a little flaky at times, but people are able to overlook that - because you're so fun!

What Flavor Gum Are You?

This is something one of my kids would do...

I saw this over at The TCM Blog and just had to put it on here.

My Day... brace yourself for the excitement

I guess I've had what you could call a fairly uneventful day. I went to Curves and worked out. (I had to go back a fix the word Curves because the first time I typed the word "curse" which is kind of funny.)

Next, I went to Wal-Mart because that's all we have here. They did have some cute flip-flops there for Sarah. They were only $7.00 each.

After that I decided to go and get my hair cut. I got four inches cut off, which really surprised me because I didn't realize that it was getting so long. Janelle, over at This Little Piggy totally inspired this new cut! It's fun and it's easy.

Thanks Janelle! I hope it's okay that I kinda copied your cut. :)

Here is a before picture... don't mind the little goober sitting next to me.

And here is the after....
And here I am putting on my make-up because apparently my husband didn't have anything better to do...



I warned you that there was nothing happening here today!

Finally, I'll show you what our poodle does to every single toy we buy her...
This was in less than 5 minutes. No more toys for you!

Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavor?

What do you do with YOUR gum when you're eating?

Thursday Thirteen and a Webkins Cake

I have been somewhat behind reading blogs over the last couple of days. I have been busy doing some cleaning around here. I had two days so full that I actually sat down at the end of the night and thought, "Wow, I got a lot done today." Not every day is like that, let me tell ya!

I made Ben's birthday cake on Wednesday. He wanted a Webkidz cake with his Webkins on it. they always challenge me. I got it done though.



On Tuesday, I tackled our bedroom, specifically under our bed. One word describes what I came in contact with...nastiness!

So, for my Thursday Thirteen I am going to list 13 things that I found under the bed. Sounds like fun, huh?

1. enough dirty Kleenex to fill up a Kleenex box
2. pictures from our Disney trip... 3 years ago
3. 2 candles, never used
4. 2 torn up rolls of Christmas wrapping paper
5. a hat
6. 8.4 volt drill (whatever that is)
7. Crayola Markers
8. Travel Gym (ha)
9. Guinness World Record Book 2005 edition
10. One folding chair
11. Ethan's camera and case (we've been looking for that)
12. 3 minuscule Polly Pocket toys (a spoon, paintbrush and guitar)
13. a shoebox with one shoe.

Oh, and here's a bonus... an inch of allergy-attack inducing dust!

So I ask you, what's under your bed?

Happy Birthday B-bop!
