1. National Donut Day

OHHAPPYDAY! We partook in this day of celebration, but sadly my phone is chunk full of pictures and can hold no more, so no documentation. Liza: Chocolate iced with sprinkles Caris: Birthday Cake Me: Chocolate iced with kreme filling.
(Free)

2. New Purse

After donuts we took our carb-filled selves over to a local thrift store to make a donation and walk around the sore (yep, totally contradictory) We wandered around with self-control until the end when I spotted a simple black tote purse. I've accepted myself as a minimalist when it comes to purses. This excites me because it will narrow down my choices, but it also grieves me because it proves that I'm turning into my father, who would wear a white shirt and tan khaki pants everyday if my mom would let him. I've been on the hunt for the perfect black purse for like, ever. Found it! Worth the wait.
($3)

3. Purple + Polkie Dots
This morning as I crossed the dangerous Walmart Traverse (You know, the one between personal hygiene items and food that's filled with daunting obstacles like PARTY SUPPLIES, CRAFT SUPPLIES AND CANDLES), two pairs of light purple leggings with silver polk dots attached themselves to my back and wouldn't get off until I bought them. 
*Will be used as jammie pants under nightgowns
($1 each)
Leggings seen here

4. A Request
Does anyone have a proven cheap way to ward off mosquitoes? They love me and I'm like, THIS IS AN UNHEALTHY TOXIC RELATIONSHIP. LEAVE ME ALONE.
(Willing to pay an arm and a leg)
(Picture me freaking out, slapping my legs and trampling my kids to get back in the house)

5. Introducing...
The Silver Bullet!!! She's a total babe and I can't wait to tell you more about her. Now what will I complain about save for?
(Enough but not too much. Winkyface)

3 Reasons

3 Reasons:  Why It's a Good Idea to Move (Because "The Reasons Why We Shouldn't Move" would be too long &  too sappy)  1. I'm less likely to run into people from Middle School . This reason specifically addresses my 8th grade English teacher. I've probably seen her every year since the 8th grade and considering that that was thirteen years  ago, that's a lot of times. I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
