Do you want to know what I hate about Spring? Pollen. When I got to work today the sidewalks were literally yellow from all the pollen that had fallen overnight. Yuck!
{photo}I have sneezed constantly for days now. And to make it worse once I sneeze it doesn't stop until after I've sneezed about 7 times and my class goes from "Bless you" to "What is wrong with you" and breaking out in giggles because...

It has been quite a long week. Longer than the week before spring break for sure. And as the older teachers are referring to it "the sap is rising." Whatever that means. But it has been sheer chaos for sure.
Yesterday I met up with Katie May of TwoSuez Photography to pick up my reprints and needless to say they are stinking awesome. But I am so in love with how she wrapped them up I almost don't...
Can you say "long couple of days?" We had company Sunday and after work and class yesterday I am near dead tonight. And yes I skipped my class tonight...I had to have a break before I got sick from overrunning myself this week.(hey I used a vocabulary word for this week, overrun;) haha) During spring break I got the motivation up to start working out again, it's been hard this semester, and decided...
Oh my goodness why did I not see this dress when I was dress hunting. It is absolutely to die for! And it had pockets!!! Have I told you how much I love dresses with pockets, well I do.

Cannoli. Yum. I made these once when Jeremy and I started dating and considering he actually requested them today I had to make them, considering he rarely request things.

3/4c powdered sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp coco powder
zest of 1/2 an orange
1/2c chocolate chips

My grandfather just sent me a link to this article. Way to funny, I just had to share. Bad joke? ACSO makes drug arrestBy Cain Madden (Contact) | The Natchez DemocratPublished Wednesday, March 17, 2010
NATCHEZ — A man, his wife and their duck got into a sheriff deputy’s car.
It’s not the start of a bad joke, but the middle of an Adams County drug arrest.
The trio — and a rolling methamphetamine...
I planned on doing a no meat week, but that didn't work out. I watched Food Network and got the urge to cook. I've been saying I wanted to make calzones for weeks, but just haven't gotten around to it. Well tonight I had time, and they turned out really good.
Calzones:
Serves 4
Start off with your crust, if you would rather do store bought pie crust to save time be my guest, I just keep the stuff...
I'm not Irish, in fact I'm a mix of Puerto Rican, French Canadian, and Native American. Can you say MUT? Even though I'm not Irish I still am allowed the right to pinch the mess out of my husband who is still asleep because he isn't wearing green. But I'm the nice sort of wife and I'll wait until his alarm goes off and I'll just get him when he hits sooze.
The Daschund to the right isn't mine, sadly, ...
My whole life, literally, I've gone to festivals and anywhere else my Pop was playing music. He has been in countless bands throughout his life. When I really little I went square dancing with my grandparents all the time. My Mom even had to make me a dress that was identical to my Nanny's, and it had to twirl. I don't know a lot of people who can say they have spent their whole life following their...
Recently the ULM Hawkeye ran an article that has caused quite a stir with the ULM students on Facebook and definitely with college servers around town. They allowed Joseph Roberts to write an article titled "Why I Don't Tip" against their better judgement. Not only is his reasoning for why he doesn't tip going to leave him hungry in a town full of servers who will deny this dude service he also made...
Yesterday while strolling through the Mall of Louisiana I happened upon Pottery Barn aka wish I could take the store home with me and saw this pretty little thing sitting in the doorway. That table is identical to mine, minus the fact we finished ours with a pecan top{like a traditional farmhouse table} and painted the bottom antique white{like that one}. I've looked up and down for a bench and chairs...
Yay for Spring Break!
Nay for research paper.
And a really big yay for the Vidalia Vikings going to the Cajun Dome tonight for the State Championship game!
Tomorrow is "no makeup Saturday" and I have big plans. I am heading to ole Vi-Lou to meet up with my Mom then drive to Baton Rouge to attend my friend Brittany's son's 1st birthday party. Then we are going shopping...Jeremy want another wallet....
Update: Today was much better. I'll take fake any day over "I'm scared because your a loose cannon."
Do you know what we love?
Well, Ellie loves three things...okay make that four.
-naps
-looking out the front door
-long dog{that Maddie has deconstructed but Ellie still loves by the way}
-eating
Have you ever read the book "If You Give a Moose a Muffin"? That is Ellie, but she wants food, naps{in...
I did not just seriously ask my husband for a kiss because I was going to bed and get a full on wet kiss from this dog:
Maddie is apparently quicker than Jeremy. And I am guessing comprehends the phrase "Gimme a kiss" faster than he does as well.
So if you would like one Maddie is offering up bedtime kisses to any and all who stop by out house. The only thing she won't kiss is grabby kids, she can't...
So is every Saturday for that matter. I have never ever liked to wear makeup on Saturday. My skin hates it and we have come to an agreement, Saturday is my face's day off of work too.
So yes that means I went to the Northeast Louisiana Technology Fair today with zero makeup, jeans, my Saints t-shirt, and tennis shoes.
I am also about to go to a Shane and Shane concert. And like a good...
