    Broken Egg
    Helpful Hint
    from Farmer's Almanac

    If you drop an egg on the floor
    cover it with salt so there will
    be no slimy mess!

    9:30am

    I am currently working on my
    newest jelly bean cupcake.
    Trying to get a couple things
    done up ahead of time before
    taking mom to the library
    that way I can come home and
    hopefully put it all together.

    -----------------------------

    12:30pm

    Just got home.
    Took mom to the library then
    we went to Kroger after that.
    Here's my deals I found:

    2 pkgs diced onion $1.00 each
    (will freeze)

    1 pkg stir fry fresh veggies $1.49

    1 pkg cauliflower $1.00

    Sante Fe Chicken style salad $1.49

    Large stuff style mushroom $1.69

    3 pkgs pop corn chicken .99 cents
    (not the healthiest choice
    but if eaten in small portions
    or mixed in with a meal won't be so bad)


    6 boxes of organic macaroni & cheese
    -these suckers were normally
    $3.00 a box for your average sized box
    of mac n cheese. I paid .50 cents each.
    I couldn't of even imagined paying
    $18 for 6 boxes of mac n cheese!!!

    12:50pm

    Oh dear God I found out my
    ex is wanting/trying to get a job where
    me and my honey used to work, UV.
    Let's see how well they remember
    him and the chaos he caused when
    I worked there.

    Anything else want to go wrong for me?!
    Just send it my way now so
    I can get it all out of the way at once!

    I think it's nap time!

    Christmas Candle Cupcake I made.




    ------------------------------------

    5:00pm

    I made up another cupcake
    and left off the coconut.
    This is the one I submitted
    to Jelly Belly.
    If anyone is wondering what I used
    for the wreath ring around the "candle",
    it is almond slivers that I died green
    with food coloring to look like leaves.
    .

    My honey got in his email
    a printable coupon for a free dinner at Captain D's
    for his birthday.
    Can choose fish, chicken, shrimp or tilapia.

    Be sure to sign up at all those restaurants
    to get some freebies on your birthday.

    This will be the third free dinner
    from Captain D's in the last 2 weeks.
    The other two freebie dinners
    were from signing up at their website.

    I can't wait for Spring to get here.
    I'm starting to get cabin fever.
    Sure do miss those warm days
    with the sun shining and windows open
    with a warm breeze blowing through the house.

    I've been sitting here thinking
    about ways to make improvements to the house.
    I found a quart of paint I had
    that I got free from Glidden.
    I got the paint awhile back to
    do the bathroom with and found
    a color that would go with the floor
    that was in there.
    I like it better than the recent sample
    I got. Plus the recent sample I got
    wasn't even a quart of paint or enough
    paint to do the bathroom with.
    So maybe in the near future I can
    try to get motivated and paint the bathroom.
    I've just been so tired here lately
    and feel like I could sleep all day.
    I'm so ready for a little sunshine.

    Anyway here is the paint from
    Glidden I picked out.
    It's called Cyprus Grass.
    I did a paint sample on a piece
    of cardboard to see what it would look like.
    I didn't like the color by the looks
    in the can but once it dried it looked
    pretty nice.

    When choosing the free paint from
    the internet I actually took my computer
    into the bathroom and put it on
    the floor next to the floor colors
    to try and pick one of the many

    colors they had to choose from that went with it, lol.

    Here someone used this color in their laundry room.

    And here is my bathroom floor along
    with the Cyprus Grass wall color paint sample I did.
    I don't know, I just need a project
    to get me motivated and make
    it more cheerful around here.
    How hard could painting a bathroom
    be being a small space, lol.
