Guess What? "I can do Better!!"

-
Ok - so I've been sharing the "LOVE" the past few days, and am now ready to VENT a little. Don't mean to spread any negativity, but I just have to get this off of my chest. So, please bear with me, and allow me to emote. . .

Do you play any computer games? Or games on Facebook? Staries? Bejeweled? Cube Crash? Any of those sound familiar?

I do . . . and right now, I'm almost ready to STOP all together.

Because a few moments ago . . . in the middle of the "Christmas Crunch" game on Facebook . . . I was told by the game "You can do better!" SERIOUSLY!!! It's bad enough that I am faced with my own issues of guilt and not doing enough, or not doing good enough, in this life of mine. . . that now I have a FACEBOOK GAME telling me "You can do better?!?!?!!!" YES, I RECOGNIZE THIS, you darn Christmas Crunch Game!!! I KNOW that I CAN DO BETTER! Do YOU have to remind me???

I recognize that I can do better every time I :
  • Pay the bills . . . I think, "I can do better budgeting so that I'm not broke 1 week before our next pay period"

  • Run out of eggs . . . I think, "I can do better planning ahead and avoid having to go to the store 4 times a week because I fail to write things down as I run out of them"

  • Am short on socks and have a pile of laundry stacked up . . . I think, "Oh, Boy, I really can do a better job keeping up with things around the house - I should have done laundry last night and NOT played Facebook games"

  • Look at the stack of books on my nightstand . . . I think, "I can do better structuring my day so that I spend some time ready each night"

  • Look at my freezer 5 minutes before dinner time . . . I think, "I can do better planning meals so that I can take the food out to thaw before we are to eat"

So, forgive me for being so BLUNT, Facebook games . . . but I play for ENJOYMENT and not to be reminded that I CAN DO BETTER! Augh!

Ok. I'm done.

I feel better. Well, a little, anyway.

I'm going to do something else right now - maybe read one of those books I was just thinking about. THERE! See. . . I CAN do better, darn Christmas Crunch game! I CAN! (Thank you, for letting me get that off my chest. It was really bothering me - can't you tell?)

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it.

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies? Fir
