New Toy

I downloaded the new Picasa and I can now make collages!

So I decided to make one of all my favorite kitty pics.

New purchase

I was out antiquing the other day and came across this antique tool box. I had to have it, it is the green in my kitchen and it was a steal. Not sure yet how I'm going to decorate it for everyday, but for Christmas I'm going to use greens and varying size pillar candles. I think I'll glitter the candles!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I want to wish all my blogger buddies a great Thanksgiving!!

New Job!

So a few weeks ago my BFF was talking about how swamped she has been with her business, I think I've mentioned she is a photography, and she was thinking about hiring someone. I told her to hire me. Well now I'm her "studio manager". It's not a full time job, I still can do my sewing projects and work at the fabric store whenever they need me.

It's been so much fun! We do our work, chit-chat and cook lunch. Some nights my husband comes over after work and we have dinner.

This is a picture she took of me that she posted on her blog(http://www.jenniferbretonphotography.com/blog) after I started.

Prop 8 is Hate!

I think this was one of Keith's best "special comment", just wanted to share.

Sunday Dinner~Chicken!!

Last week my local grocery store had whole chickens on sale for .99/pound! Being inspired by Martha's show about cutting up a whole chicken and Louis from Gestures cutting up his chicken, I bought 3! So this Sunday I decided to just do a basic roasted chicken. I like to use butter, salt, pepper, garlic and herb de provance on the outside. I stuffed it with lemons, onions, and garlic.

So next Sunday I will make an attempt to cut up a whole chicken. With the amount of cooking I've done this is one thing I've never tried!

Musical Family

My cousin recently posted video covering a Better then Ezra cover. He writes his on music as well.

POOR OLIVER!!!

We had an exciting Wednesday night. One of the little kitties knocked a plate onto the floor which schattered into a million pieces and in turn scared the bejesus out of Oliver and he went running like a bat out of hell. About 10 minutes after cleaning up the mess I notice he was limping and kind of dragging his leg. So thinking he broke his leg, into action Mark and I went. I put him in the carrier and Mark called the Vet. Well, I'm glad to say he didn't break his leg:). He did tear some ligaments and tweaked his knee cap, who know cats had knee caps.

YES WE DID!!!

Awesome crowd!

The first family!

I loved waking up this morning!
