Reader Roll Call!

Just out of curiousity I was wondering who was actually reading my posts. My view count keeps getting higher, but I've yet to have a comment, so I thought I'd take a quick, possibly weekly, roll call.

Internet blooper

I love catching a good "oops" on websites. Today's is a doozy. I was trying to check out an article on Yahoo about best bargains on furniture and this is what came up:


Note the "date" the article was written and then in the bottom is today's date and time (I just took a screenshot). And there's no article attached. Good job Yahoo!

Chocolate Popcorn - Foodie Friday



I'm pretty sure that just about everyone has some secret (or not so secret) food that they eat that a lot of other people would think is strange. I am no different. In fact, I have a lot of strange cravings that usually end up with people asking "Are you pregnant?" No, I'm not. I just have a very creative food mind.

I'm re-opening my Etsy shop...

...on August 1!

My latest Pinterest find: Color palette generator

I think that a lot of people now days are addicted to/interested in color palettes. I know that I have gotten interested in them more and more as I think about having our own house to decorate someday (hopefully soon). Sometimes I find a picture or picture of an item that I LOVE the colors in, but I have no idea where to go from there to figure out what colors would match/look right.

Foodie Friday: MIA this week

Sorry to announce that Foodie Friday is taking a break this week due to my losing the pictures I was going to post for it. I was going to write about the amazingly cute desserts I made for our July 4th cookout, but I am currently missing my camera which has the pictures on it. Should I find them in the next few days, I'll post them.

S'mores - Foodie Friday

The hot food of the summer, especially this summer, seems to be S'mores. They are everywhere! S'more this and S'mores that. They are so delicious so it's really no big surprise.
