So pardon me for jumping ship yesteday, but as you can see, my lovely little blog was getting a renovation of its own {still a work-in-progress with a few things to revise}, courtesy of Lindsey at Sweet Simplicity Designs–she is WONDERFUL to work with. I gave her tons of ideas for what I was looking for (colors, elements, patterns, etc.) and boy did she deliver… if you’re wanting a little freshening up for your blog, I am telling you to talk to her!
Well, it’s that day again… the day we all look forward to throughout the week–FRIDAY! But before I fill you in on weekend details, PLEASE tell me some of you watched the premiere of Jersey Shore last night?
HILARIOUS–I know they are pure trash, but I give in everytime its on and I will admit Jeff and I did a little fist pumping action of our own last night… their vocabulary and the words they come up amuse me so much–grenade, creep?? Don’t know where they come up with this stuff, but I am a loyal fan.
Today is Christmas in July lunch day at work… yes, I know, it may be 95 degrees outside, but in our lunchroom it smells like the holidays–gotta love it! I can’t wait to get some comfort food and totally forget my healthy eating habits for one meal soI can indulge in the baked macaroni and cheese I made:
Ingredients
1 box Deluxe Mac and Cheese
1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar
1/2 cup of Sour Cream (I use light)
1 tsp. cayenne red pepper
1/2 tsp butter
8 ritz crackers
Directions
Preheat oven to 375.
Cook macaroni and cheese normally; add in cheese sauce
Spoon sour cream, 1/2 of shredded cheddar, and red pepper into macaroni mix
Pour mixture into greased 9 x 9 square baking dish
Mix together butter and ritz crackers and crush together; add on top of other ingredients
Bake for 20 minutes and enjoy!
After work, Jeff and I are headed out for date night…we’ve slacked a bit on entertaining ourselves as a couple lately and we both want to get back in the habit–on tonight’s agenda, sushi and finally getting to see Eclipse! Can you tell I picked this date??
The rest of my weekend will be spent spray painting the guest bedroom furniture, picking out {yet again} more paint colors for the house, finishing up another calligraphy order, and spending time with the family celebrating my cousin’s 21st birthday–oh how I remember the days!! =)
And just because I thought it was funny, check this post out at one of my favorite home decor/design/DIY websites–Young House Love… they were looking for a pop of summertime color in their living room and they added some bright yellow floral rosette pillows… and the interesting part is that I bought the SAME pillows for our bedroom because I wanted to add something bright and bold into our otherwise neutral palette–great minds think alike, right?

I'd love to hear more about how you go about spray painting a room? I've been curious before, but wouldn't know where to start.
