Lights. Camera. DATE NIGHT!!!
Woohoo!!
The Mister and I had a date night the other night and treated ourselves to burgers at FatBurger....it was the first time we have been there! And I have to say, the food was very mediocre. Neither one of us was very impressed, (except for with the decor! It was a fun and friendly 50's diner kinda vibe...) but the food was expensive, and not very tasty. I am pretty sure the gravy on my poutine resembled that which would come from a can. Yes, CANNED gravy. WHAT?!?!
After dinner we headed to the theater where we saw "Tammy" which was pretty funny. And raunchy. And sailor-mouth+trucker-mouth cussin. We enjoyed our popcorn, our reclining seats & many good laughs. The theater was close to empty to since we opted for the LATE LATE show and it was a Wednesday night.
If you haven't seen a preveiw for this one yet, here it is for your virgin ears to enjoy ;)
We give it two thumbs up. (OK, since there is two of us we will say EACH, so you don't think we are giving it a 2/4.)
Now if only the popcorn had been HOT.....
I have to say I am loving hubby's hometime now :) It's awesome to have him home and to myself for 7 glorious days! The 24 days away SUCKS. But those 7 are ALMOST worth it ;)
Peace Out readers! If there are any out there.
Hey, leave me a comment, would ya?!
Ciao!

It's been one hell-uva-week round here this week! I had three.........yes, I said THREE job interviews this week. One that I am on pins and needles waiting to see if I get it........it will be amazing, if I do! I heard from them today and found out that they are proceeding with reference checks, so that must mean that I am in the running! I almost squealed out loud when I heard her voicemail!
Hubs ended up coming home last Sunday, and since I wasn't expecting him until Aug 1 or 2 it was quite the surprise! Sounds like he will be heading back into camp this Sunday though, for about 24 days. Hate saying goodbye for so long! This oilfield wife thing is hard to get used to! But I love knowing that he is in camp, with a comfy bed, a shower, hot meals, etc. and not on some scary highway somewhere battling the elements :)
We added a new addition to our family this week as well. I have been searching for an orange and white kitty for a coon's age, but was determined to find a girl! And they are rare, in that color......but alas, I have found HER!! And she is sweet and wonderful :) And already SO spoiled! Here she is, for your viewing pleasure...
Meet Naula!!
The one where she has her legs in the air?! No joke.....she was sleeping curled up behind one of the throw pillows on the couch and I lifted the pillow up and saw her snoozing away like that......I'm pretty sure at that exact moment my heart bursted out of my chest and I giggled like a little school girl! And the tongue picture.......with the milk mustache........my god.
She needs a licence to be THAT cute!! ♥
It's Friday. I love Fridays. Not that I am a Mon-Fri girl right now, but still........
pizza.......CHECK!.........
adult bevvie........CHECK!........

I plan to play along with some challenges tonight, and get some mojo back. I learned about a DT posting this afternoon that I am secretly hoping to apply for, but I need to get creating first! My poor neglected scrap room..........all "WORK" projects are packed up for the evening and tonight I plan on playing just for fun! Which I haven't done in a looooooooong time!
So come on back and check me out in awhile, and I hope to have some creations to share! Off to get my hands inky now.......what are you up to this fine Friday evening? Leave me a comment and let me know!
Ciao, but only for now........

I am sooooo excited to be a part of the Clique!! Their monthly kits are INCREDIBLE! I just played with my first one and I am seriously swooning! I can't wait to see the kit next month....this one was just LOADED with goodies, some I haven't even had the chance to play with yet! Sequins, for one........and though they are time consuming......I absolutely LOVE the look!! And wooden veneers...........WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!?!
The papers we got are from Heidi Swapp's "Favorite Things" line and they are so bright, colorful and SCREAM SUMMER!!! The embellishments were jam packed too, sequins, veneers, stickers and alphas, die cuts, ribbon, twine, FLAIR, buttons........and I am sure there was more I am forgetting about right now! HAHA!
I decided to play along with the Blog Share this month, as I have been in a creative slump lately........I haven't made anything except ORDERS for months now, so it was awesome to pull out a fun photo of one of my favorite #scrapsubjects and I and PLAY!!
Make sure you take a run through all the talented ladies blogs and check out their projects too.....it's fun to see how we all used the kit goodies! If you have arrived here from Tyra's blog then you are already on your way through the tour, but if not head on back to Clique Kits and start at the beginning......you will be glad you did, trust me!! I will post the list here for you in case you get lost, but next you should be on your way to see Cassandra!
Here is the layout that I made for this, featuring my niece Halle & I. She told me the last time I was there to visit....."Aunty, let's take some selfies!!!" SHE JUST TURNED 7!! So I was kinda floored to hear her use that word.......LOL! But, we had some giggles taking selfies and I got to capture that memory with one of my favorite shorties :) ♥♥♥

I have been really busy working on wedding invitations and mini albums and haven't had a chance to make many cards lately, but I have a lady looking for a couple of Vintage/Shabby Chic cards for Mother's Day, and have welcomed the change! Here are a couple that I have made for her to view, one was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest and the other based on Sketch Number 1 posted over at Freshly Made Sketches
Tonight was date night again, with my friend Mel.......the first one in a LOOOONG time! And we hit up the theater to take in "The Other Woman" with Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton....affectionately called "THE BOOBS" :)
This movie was hilarious. I could not stop laughing and had to contain myself so I wasn't actually snorting in the theater. I loved it...and the company was just as good as I remember!
The evening got off to a funny st art, when we couldn't believe how deserted the theater was! I was there first, and was LITERALLY the only person standing in the lobby......so imagine my relief when Mel texted me and said she was there...PHEW!
We couldn't help but snap some pictures of the empty lobby, each other standing in an empty movie theater and chuckling over the ticket dude telling us that a total of 14 people had been in the theater all day, making us numbers 15 & 16. Mel got at a funny shot of my zombie eyes and all in all, it was a great giggly girl's night!
To quote Mel...."There were parts where I was thinking, "this movie isn't really that funny", and then parts when I had to put my whole fist in my mouth to stop from snorting..."
This one was a great one, so go and see it in the theater while you can! And let me know what you think of it! Even the previews were great! There are some good movies coming our way peeps!
This broad gives this one, THREE thumbs up :)

Today the Mister and I celebrate 7 years of wedded bliss. Mostly ;)
Love ya Mister D.......
most days :)
Guess I better make ya somethin' :-D
The Mister and I and the Junior headed off to BC Wednesday to see my famdamily for the long weekend....long drive for a short visit! Mister & I had to return yesterday but the Junior is there until Friday. When he will drive home. From BC. Through the mountains. On the highway. ALONE. *Sigh* This mama is having a hard time dealing with this fact....
Had to pull out the trusty iphone to snap some secret photos of his very first highway trek though, and other than hogging the "hammer lane" he did really good! He even took the lead by the time we were at the last highway bend before town :)
Trying to be all poetic showing him in my side view mirror...
And of course he was MUCH too cool to actually smile for his mama, so he had to pretend he wasn't looking at the camera...it's OK buddy, I see you too :)
Mister Cool Guy...
Handling those windy roads like a PRO!
Sick of being the caboose I guess...
WE MADE IT!!
I survived his first road trip. But it was easy seeing him behind me the whole way......Friday will be a different story :)
Happy Easter Ya'll!
Hope ya had a blast with yours too :)
