Project Life Tuesday-Week 5

another week has flown by. amazing how fast time goes by when you're an adult!
sorry i haven't really blogged much. keeping up with my new schedule leaves me little time to take pictures and post blogs. and if i do have time, i'm too tired to blog and just read other people's instead! :)

wednesday

thursday
it was our monthly girls breakfast. sadly only 3 of us were there but it was still fun. this is a self-portrait before i left.

friday
mom and i before she left to go home. if i look a little rough, it's because i had just come from having my biopsy done. i hope none of you ever have to have one. it was not a pleasant experience. but at least my mom was there!

saturday
it was chris and mckinlee's self-proclaimed "father-daughter day" mckinlee realized she had never been bowling, so that was her choice. they had a great time and were both pretty tired when they got home! chris said she is a pretty good bowler!
not the best picture, but when you're relying on the kindness of strangers, you'll take what you can get! i was thrilled they even got a picture together!

sunday
while chris and mckinlee bowled yesterday, i made cards and watched movies. these are some of the ones i made with a kit i'd never used from stampin' up.

monday
a friend of mine here makes beautiful, unique jewelry. i had gone over to her house months ago and ordered this gorgeous necklace and just picked it up today (it didn't take her that long, i just never got around to picking it up!) it's grosgrain ribbon with cream-colored leather flowers. isn't it pretty?

tuesday
mckinlee's bras hanging on her bedpost. chris and i just hate this! last night when he was telling her goodnight he asked here if she was ever going to put them in a drawer. he then asked me if i'd ever taken a picture of it, so i knew i better get one before she puts them up! he told her this might prove to be embarrassing when she gets old! hee hee.

*chocolate cake cookies
1 box chocolate cake mix ( i used betty crocker super moist triple chocolate fudge)
2 eggs
1/2 c. oil
1 cup heath toffee bits
mix all together. bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.
you can change the cake mix or the toffee bits for chocolate chips, nuts, andes mints, reece's bits--anything! these are the easiest and tastiest fast cookies.

thanks for stopping by~see you next week!

  3. Mmmm, those cookies look good. I was thinking of trying out the recipe with Andes Mints yesterday but opted to go the easy route and just make brownies with M&Ms instead! Great picture of you and your mom...I hope you get good results from the biopsy.

  5. Thanks for stopping by my blog! I always love to see new people stopping by.

    I love the pic of the bras on the bedpost. I used to do that when I was teenager, and it drove my mom nuts. I would hang them on the post at the end of the bed when I took them off. I always thought that was better than throwing them on the floor. LOL

  8. I enjoyed all your pictures from this week. That's great for you being in two of them. The bras are so funny, my daughter use to do that instead of putting them away. Her belts & scraves would be on the other post of her bed. The cookies look so good just might have to bake tomorrow. That's sweet for your husband and daughter to have a date together. Have a good week
