Sugar. Basically.


I've been wanting to make this recently. It has no official name so my mom calls it Yummy Stuff--which is exactly what it is. I brought this over to Lawlor Sunday today and thankfully they ate half of it, and now tomorrow I can take it to work and share the rest. It's way good. But I'm sure it's completely bad for you. There are almonds and rice chex and golden grahams, but also M&M's and coconut and sugar and a full cup of karo syrup, so the healthy nuts and cereal get totally lost. But oh so yummy.

Good News and an Old Fashioned Want Add

The Good News:
Eric and I are in the process of buying a house. We are so excited, we weren't expecting to be able to afford it for at least another year but with the way the market went, we started looking. We've found a few very promising deals and might even be moving the end of April.


Which leads me to the Want Add:
In order to move right now we will be breaking the year long lease. We are hoping to find renters to replace us so that it wouldn't cost as much to leave. We are currently in a great 2 bedroom and one full bath duplex with a private patio. There is a detached laundry room in the covered parking next to the house. The landlords are really helpful and always available. It's almost 900 sq ft for $625 a month. If you know anyone who is interested in renting right now PLEASE give us a call.













Also, if you like Papa John's Pizza, there's one within walking distance....we've been helping to keep them in business since we moved here.

Decision Making

ok, so it's not a BIG LIFE CHANGING decision, but in the new place where we've been living I've had two whole walls in my black and white bedroom untouched because I didn's know what to do with them. Well, after almost 3 months I'm now down to ONE untouched wall. That's right boys and girls, I had most of Friday evening to myself because Eric had a bachelor party to attend and I used it to read and then decorate at my leisure. After months of deliberaton, I came up with this:



ok, so it's not monumental, unheard of decorating skillz, but i did it all by myself, that has to count for something. Also, these were a couple of my very favorite wedding photos. And I have 3 battles scars on my hand from that second frame, one of the peices of glass wasn't bevelled or rounded or whatever it's called. I got cut while I was cleaning the glass. But I lived. Didn't even need a band aid, woohoo.

As long as were talking about decisions....Eric is at the point where he needs his major to be official. He's most interested in psychology, but thinks a business major would be better for future jobs, but how do you go to school for two years learning about something that doesn't interest you? All most jobs look at is that you DID graduate, not what in... Any ideas?
