Winter needs to LEAVE! NOW!!! We're trying to chase the winter blues away at work, so someone came up with the idea of a monthly Crockpot Fest. Groups of three work together to prepare a crockpot meal and share with the rest of the gang. It's my group "on deck" this week. Ryan is making his world famous jambalaya, I'm making salad and cheese bread, and Christina is making a crock pot dessert called Triple Chocolate Mess. We'll let you know how it turns out!


Last Saturday a group of Butler University basketball fans got together at a local sports bar and watched the Bulldogs give the Davidson Wildcats a spanking! It was a lively group and lots of fun to cheer together.

It's Been a While...


Wow, where did the last 10 days go? It's been a while since I visited my little blog spot, but I'm back. Finished the knitted headband for my niece...I think it came out cute, if I do say so myself. I mailed it last Thursday, so I'm thinking and just maybe she'll get it today. I'm posting a photo of it that I took just before dropping it in the mail. You'll also see a little tiny card that I made to send along with it. Card-making is another one of my hobbies/passions. As a Human Resource Director, there's not a whole lot of room for creativity (can't get away with making up new rules every other day!), so I guess I need my hobbies to release that "creative urge"!


Anyway, had fun with a friend this weekend helping her shop for all sorts of goodies to spice up her newly painted dining room. Her walls are a beautiful soft yellow with the slightest, slightest hint of pale green in it. They're beautiful! She decided to use turquoise as an accent color, so we shopped for "all-things-thrquoise" and yellow. Found a perfect rug for under her table, great throw pillows, some cool yellow placemats set off with turquoise napkins, some clear water goblets rimmed in turquoise, and several other fun things. We didn't return from shopping until about 10 p.m., but HAD to put everything in place the minute we walked in the front door. What fun! We're going to do a little more shopping tomorrow night.


Enough for now!
