Gotta Love Steve Colbert!

Anyone that has ever watched to Colbert Report knows how hilarious it is! He is Republican and proud! I can get pretty intense when it comes to politics, but I think Steve Colbert wins! He tried to convince everyone to write his name in on the presidential ballot, but, it didn't work. Now he is at it again! NASA is getting ready to launch a addition to the International Space Station, they have announced that the name will be determined by, us! So, since Steve Colbert lost the election, he wants his name in space! You can go to nasa.gov, or to colbertnation.com and choose the name. They have a list of names to choose from, or you can suggest your own. He is now on a campaign to convince people to suggest his name. It is now #1 in the top 10 of suggested names! It is pretty hilarious! You should try it, even if you don't vote for him, it is still pretty funny!

Addicted!

I am addicted to this website, etsy.com! There are so many things I want! I really want to try and copy some of their stuff! I think it is my crafty side coming out again! There is just so much fun stuff! Check it out if you haven't already! But I will warn you, you will be there for hours!

Strawberry Chocolatey Goodness!

On Saturday Marc went grocery shopping and I stayed home to get some house work done. I think this is the first time Marc has gone shopping for our weekly trip all by himself. I was a little worried about what he would come home with, but he got everything on the list, and only bought 4 boxes of cereal that weren't on the list. He even saved over $24! He said that they were having a huge sale on General Mills cereal and he just couldn't pass it up! Too bad Sunday was Fast Sunday, all day long I kept thinking about the Coco Puffs Combos, the Honey Kix, the Strawberry Chex, and the Chocolate Chex, it did not help the rumbling in my stomach.

At about 10:30 I had a bad headache, which no matter what I do, always comes on Fast Sundays all day long! I should have just gone to bed, but Marc suggested I have some cereal and medicine. I was so full from our yummy dinner with the Briggs, but I couldn't pass up the idea of the Strawberry and Chocolate Chex mixed! It was delicious! Not something I would send the kids off to school with, but for a late night snack it was tasty! I suggest you go find these and keep them on hand, it was so good! In the end, he did a great job shopping, and got some yummy stuff!

Cheap Lunch!

Since Marc and I both studied/are studying advertising we love commercials, sometimes, and love creative advertising. Since the Superbowl we have been looking a lot into the publicity stunt from Jack in the Box. For those of you who may not know, Jack, the mascot, was hit by a bus and is in a coma. You can watch video clips, and leave messages for Jack, and keep up on his condition at hangintherejack.com I was looking at the updated stuff and found out that today, Feburary 24th, is FREE TACO DAY! Their tacos are super unhealthy, but they bring back memories from many adventures for both of us, so, we printed out our coupons, and headed off thinking we were going to have to battle the crowds, we were wrong! There was no one there! They were not advertising the tacos, you had to check in on Jack to know! So, we got our tacos, and some fries, and both ate a not very healthy lunch for under $2! It was fun to get out for a little while, and get free food! So, if you have time and want tacos, they are handing them out if you have a coupon until 11:59 tonight!

A Little Crafty

I decided that I am going to be more crafty. I have already done a few things to make our apartment seem more homey, but after going to a vinyl party a few weeks ago, I decided I wanted to do more. I didn't want to put any vinyl on our walls since we are moving in 5 months, and I wanted to enjoy whatever I got for a little longer. I did these two projects and had so much fun!

On this one the letters are vinyl, and I used scrapbook paper to cover the chipboard. It took a log time, and unfortunately these projects ended up to be a little pricer than I would have liked, but we can keep them around for a while!


This one is my favorite. I picked the vinyl originally thinking that I would put it on a board, so I got it in white. I couldn't find a board that was the right size, and we don't have the tools to let me do my own. I started thinking of a ton of different ideas and eventually decided to put it on the glass of a frame. I couldn't find a frame, but after a trip to Porters and stumbling across their 50% off frame sale I found one for $12! I used scrapbook paper for the back, and thanks to my wonderful hubby, I think I will change it out occasionally. He had the wonderful idea of changing it seasonally, and to match the room we put it in! The frame isn't crooked on the wall, the camera was, it is in out narrow hall entrance and not so easy to photograph!

Happy Valentines Day!

We decided since the whole town of Rexburg goes out to eat on Valentines day, we were not! I made breakfast, and Marc made dinner, we kept it pretty much a secret until we went shopping Friday. I decided to make breakfast sandwiches. Marc likes bacon, so I put it on the sandwiches, but, bacon makes EVEERYTHING smell when you cook it, so Marc decided to take the griddle outside. It was 18 degrees, but the bacon cooked and our house didn't smell! There was a lot of smoke because of the cold, but it looked pretty funny!

Breakfast turned out so yummy! Marc loved it!

Marc got me a cake decorating kit, I told him I wanted one, and he listened! Of course I had to try it out right away, and lucky for me, we had all the stuff to make a good one! Marc did not have dessert planned, so it was perfect, here is me working on my cake!



And, here is what it looked like when I was done, making it! I wouldn't say I am the next Ace of Cakes, but I think I could do this more, I just can't eat more!



Marc decided to do a little surf and turf dinner. Thanks to Albertsons, london broil was buy one get one free! We did some tempura shrimp, tempura zucchini, and salad. Here we are with our champagne glasses, no worries, just a little soda, and my plate, I needed another plate just for my salad! It was delicious and I am so glad we made dinner at home, it was cheaper, and tastier!



We decided to go see Marley & Me about 30 minutes before it started. We got in and we so glad we did. It was so cute, except for the babies in the back that cried the whole time, and the kids that kept running in and out like there was a party in the hall or something. Beware, it is a tear jerker! We both had to hold back tears, but it was super cute and well worth the $6, thank goodness for cheap theaters! It was a great day!

More Cookies!

I had so much fun decorating the cookies Monday night, and we had tons of frosting left, so I made a few more cookies to give to the girls I visit teach. They turned out so cute I just had to post some pictures!





Maybe I should take this up as a hobby? Cookies anyone?
