I have been taking a small break from blogging because of one website in particular. I didn't think there was a bigger time sucker out there than Facebook, but I managed to find it. It's called Pinterest.com. I need to quit. I need to just cancel my account and never go back there. Because now instead of atleast using my computer time to record family memories or work on something productive, I just get into some sort of zone and off I go dreaming, imagining, and making lists of things I don't have time to do. And then I start to feel bad. I look around my house and see all the possibilities. But if it wouldn't have been for Pinterest, I would have never seen the possibilities at all. Damn that Pinterest.
So rather than obsess about the projects I won't be getting finished, I thought I would post a photo of the birthday invites that I made for Brody's Monster party. Pictures of those are coming in the next day or so. I used the Monster themed Cricut cartridge and cut out a few different monsters. Then I made the information part of the card and hole-punched and tied baker's twine to the monster and the card. I used googly eyes for dimension. I thought they turned out pretty cute for something quick.

Good Lord, it might be time for a manicure...and some hand cream

Everybody is quiet and sleeping tonight. It's just me and Jay Leno up this late and I can't help but say I love the quiet time late at night. Especially when I'm not so zonked that I can actually enjoy it. And since I just did finish watching tivo'd Beverly Hills 90210 and half of Private Practice, I can call this evening a complete success. Can I just say how much I love tivo? I would NEVER get to watch tv if I had to watch it during prime time, which also happens to be the witching hour(s) in this house. Whiny, hungry, arguing, homework avoiding kids all take place during all of my best shows. So I just hit the DVR button and then turn on Cailou, which is a life saver during dinner prep. Again, Cailou is tivo'd so we have him whenever we need him. When I list my blessings in life, I list episodes of Cailou right up there with food, water, and shelter. Something about that little rat bastard just calms my kids down, keeps them quiet, and limits the fighting long enough to get dinner on the table. Even if he is a whiner himself. We love Cailou.
