Hey there friends. It’s Frrriiiiday. Woot!
Who had a good week? Hopefully…all of you.
Did you do a lot? I feel like life is never ending, am I the only one?
Here’s what I did this week:
1. My blog turned 2! And I’m giving away some of my favorite things. Oh, and I made pie. Of course.
I would like to say, all your sweet comments and FB posts and tweets are just making me a little emotional. I heart all of you too! Thank you for being not just loyal visitors, but friends too. 🙂
2. I hijacked Back for Seconds while she was out of town. I love that girl and I know you will too! I made her some Pecan Pie Poptarts. Go see!
3. Ashton and I revealed our first big Online BlogCon giveaway. A Kindle Fire HD 8.9″! All registered attendees of Online BlogCon are eligible to enter. What are you waiting for??
5. I admitted to my shoe addiction and related shoes to things on sticks.
6. I turned 35.
7. Jordan has her first cheer game this weekend. It’s going to be so cute I’m sure I’m going to die from the cuteness.
8. Why yes, I have too much time on my hands. Red is Mel, purple is me, blue is what we watch together. By October our DVR will be full because football takes up 3 nights a week. (Thanks NFL. We reealllly needed that Thursday night game, right?)
9. Hey, have I told you about Online BlogCon? Just kidding. You’ve already registered…right?
10. If you have a DSLR, I’d love to hear about what kind it is, what I should get, and what lenses are the best. I’m starting to research them.
11. We finally, finally (after 8 months) hung our headboard in the new house. They are 12 separate photos I turned black and white and framed. All the photos are places that Mel and I have vacationed or that have special meaning for us.
12. It is still hot here: forecast 90 degrees for the foreseeable future. What the heck, Mother Nature? I want Fall and I want it now!
Okay, well. I could go on and on and on…but I’ll stop. 🙂
((Hugs)) to everyone, and have a great weekend!
xo, Dorothy
I really like the headboard. How did you attach the photos to the board part?
Have a wonderful weekend, Dorothy!
It’s actually 12 frames that we hung reeeallly carefully. Well. I said we. I meant my husband did it. We started with a long board that we marked the top row on, then used that to drip the top holes. Then it was kind of eyeballing to get the bottoms on. There *may* be lots of holes underneath the frames from where we got it wrong the first time. 😉
Dorothy,
Happy Birthday! You young thing you 🙂 I remember 35 (vaguely) lol It was a great year! Happy Blogaversary too! I’m coming up on one year and I can’t believe how fast the time goes.
LOVE the headboard!
Jordan is such a cutie! She’s going to be an AWESOME cheerleader!
Yes, I’d like Fall weather too. I was so excited when it started cooling to the 80’s last week, then I see a few 90’s in the week coming up, YUK!
Have a wonderful weekend 🙂
Michelle
Thank you! It’s funny, I see the weather on my phone and it just kinda deflates me. 90, 91, 93,….Sigh. 🙂
Happy Birthday! I remember 35 – it was a good year:)
GORGEOUS headboard
GORGEOUS daughter
GORGEOUS blog
Hope your weekend is fantastic – and YES PLEASE fall weather – maybe you can make it your bday wish
I tried! So far, no luck. And so far, the year is going pretty good. 🙂
Your daughter is such a cutie!! I have a Canon Rebel T3i. It’s supposed to be a good intro to DSLRs, and it came with the standard 18-55 lens. It works leagues better than my old Pentax point-and-shoot, even if you’re just on automatic before you learn manual. It also does HD video, which is nice because I don’t want to buy a whole ‘nother video camera. I’m very happy with it. Would like another lens one day, but boy are they pricey.
I know! Kinda ridiculous. The camera is pricey enough!!! 🙂 Thanks for the advice!
I like how you pretend number 6 is barely there. I turned 35.
haha. Cracked me up. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I was trying to be sneaky. 🙂 Thanks Aimee!
