May I have your attention please?

I have a special announcement! My store is officially opened!!!!!!! Petunia Petals Please come and check out my store. I have some really cute new things in this week. So stop by and say hi!

I've been very busy today

Baking!

I made a pineapple upside down cake for book study tonight. and I made a loaf of banana bread-let me just say YUMM-O! I made them both with whole wheat flour that ground fresh this morning! I feel so healthy knowing that I made good quality food! Here are the recipes if you would like to try them for yourself:)

Off to another homemaking adventure!

Fun in the sun

Today was really nice. I took Liv and Harrison to the lake! The water was way to cold for me but Harrison really liked it. We had a hot dog roast, and munched on goodies like pineapple and peanut m&ms. I got some much needed sun:) And I did a little reading as well.

I made the yummiest muffins tonight for dinner. They were whole-wheat apple oatmeal muffins.SO GOOD! I will have to post the recipe for that soon. I've been doing really good with my new vegetarian lifestyle-wait a second I did eat a turkey hot dog today for lunch whoops! I have been really good with it. I've been making things with whole wheat flour and eating more veg.

I finally confirmed that I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome(cfs). For the last year, I have been having "episodes" where I will be fine and have tons of energy to the next morning being so tired I can't get out of bed or function throughout the day. I had another episode on sun-Tues. I always start to feel like I'm getting a soar throat/cold. then the body aches and headaches start and then I am so tired that I just have no drive to do anything. There is really nothing that a Dr. can do for it. So the way I have been coping with it is to just keep doing my daily activities. I went to work and I exercised. I make sure that I drink enough water and eat good food. But the main thing for me is that I have to keep going, otherwise I will sit on the couch all day and start to feel bad about my situation. I keep up with my scrapbooking and sewing.

I am going to be adding a really fun addition to my blog soon. I can't wait! I love surprises!

Well, it is off to bed for me!

Love

I'm sad

Tonight I as I was making blog rounds. I read my favorite blog and found out the sad news that my favorite scrapbook store is closing! I was shocked and saddened But, then I knew I had to be strong and take this change in stride. I know everything will be fine. But I kind of feel like a little girl at recess when another girl comes over and steals your swing-"Hey back off! I've been here longer than you!" but now that I am a grown up and that would be completely unacceptable it's more like "Hey, I've been shopping here a lot longer than you! I know the layout of this place like the back of my hand". OK I'll admit it I am little on the territorial side. But I have my reasons;) No no really I wish the best to all of the great women who work at this haven of creativity. And to the totally awesome Sherelle! She has an amazing store and a sweet blog. And even though we have never met in person(I'm really shy) we have e-mailed. I think the world of her, and wish her the best in all that she does!

Caverns and headbands

It has been forever since I last blogged! Where does all of the time go? I got back from the convention in Billings last week. Seriously the best convention I have been to in a long time! I had a great time in Montana, We spent the 1st day at the Lewis and Clark Caverns. We hiked up the mountain and then went down 600 steps to the bottom of the cave. It was really fun. Then we spent time around the ubber- posh town of Bozeman MT. I LOVED it there! I really think that I would like to live there some day. Maybe when I am done with school I will move thereJ we ate at the Food co-op….really really yummy! I have tofu and black bean salad. I felt so good eating all of that natural goodness that I’ve decided to stop eating meat and become a vegetarian! I’ve been doing really well with it so far. I haven’t had any meat for a week now. I’m still going to allow myself to eat dairy and eggs for now, but eventually I am going to stop eating those as well. I made few really cute headbands last night, as I have the sewing bugJ they turned out SO cute! I made a pink satin one with white polka dots and I put on some darling little pink and white flowers. I raided my ribbon stash and made a black lace headband with white flowers and a pink/brown/white stripe ribbon. I can’t wait to wear them!
