a few of my favorite pins

Thank goodness for Pinterest. It's become my five minute vacation. And sometimes, those five minute vacations are so very needed.

A few of my favorite pins lately...

1.     2.     3.     4.    5.    6.

I have the most perfect weekend planned. Check back next week for details!

America's favorite cookie

Do we have any Oreo fans out there?

I don't like the cookie by itself very much but I could go to town on the creme filling.  I've become more a fan of Oreo's as I expanded my baking attempts. I love Oreo truffles. And I have a recipe for an Oreo cheesecake that I'm dying to make.

But then I saw these at Target yesterday.

I'm intrigued.  I couldn't find a description on the bag--is the creme center birthday cake flavored? Will it be good or awful? I wanted to buy a bag but we're moving this weekend and I really have no place for it.  My attempt will have to wait until next week.

Anyone try these yet?

Packed and ready to go...

I feel like I have been packing forever which I know is not true. I hate living out of boxes though. My organized soul is yearning to have this move over so that I can start getting my house clean and properly under control.  Just a matter of days now!

The boxes are starting to pile up!

I had no idea how much stuff I have accumulated over the years

We have a lot of wine. Better start drinking some!

And more boxes, ready to be packed!

Moving in real life is never like it is in the movies. There is just no way to keep the house clean while attempting to pack.  The countdown to cleanliness is on!

Weekend Recap

Just a few snapshots of my weekend. How was yours?

Sold!

Today's the day! My hand is cramping for signing my name so many times but we officially have a key...and a new home! I am so excited and nervous and excited that I can't contain myself.  My poor husband has been listening to my spontaneous squeals of excitement all morning.  Now, we just need to finish packing and we're home!

Leave me out with the waste, this is not what I do...

Prepare for the most boring blog post ever... Here's a few random photos off my phone from the past couple of weeks. The last one is an amazing card my friend sent me- love it!!! Gonna be a busy time leading up to my trip next week. Oh, didn't I mention that I'm going to Paris and back to Ireland? Well, yeah- that's happening <cue chorus of jealous screams> Enjoy the photos, and know that I'm very envious of anybody sleeping past 5am tomorrow!

Breaking a habit

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm a Facebook stalker.  I rarely ever post anything other than the occasional comment or happy birthday remark.  But, I am finding that it's causing me more stress lately due to other people's actions.  It's not worth it.  I keep in touch with my close friends on a regular basis so it really shouldn't be that difficult to quit Facebook...I think.

I remember a few years ago when Kate gave up Facebook for Lent. I thought that was impressive.  I'm not Catholic but I'm going to copy Kate and give it up myself for a few months.  This could be a good thing.  What I don't know can't hurt me.

I think I will need my husband to change my password for me in order to make this work. There's nothing wrong with that, is there?
