i don't have a stinkin title

Stumbling upon way to many people who feel the need to over share and make themselves feel super self important seems to be par for the course these days... personally I've pretty much stopped posting anything on the Facebook and I don't have instagram or twitter. I've realised that I don't need to post my fault random thoughts so that people can validate them by liking or reposting. That being said I do have this lovely blog which I barely remember to post on..although I have written numerous posts in my head when I can't sleep or I'm driving. Anyhoo.... that main point of this rant is that I now feel the need to share with you all some of the random shit I've found on line. Back story of today's installment.... The hubs and I are back east for a long over due visit to the families...we are currently trying to figure out where to go for breakfast since a diner we frequented back in the day burnt down a few years ago and wasn't rebuilt. Que me goin...

how oh how has it been almost 3 years since i've written anything??? i know i've composed many many many posts in my head and i guess i just never got around to actually typing and posting them... so much and so little has happened in the past few years.  the most important thing is the addition of mr. dickie barrett to our lives!! no i'm not talking about this dickie barret   i'm talking about this one!! look at the little face!! ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! and how can you not die when you see that little face!!! i have it on good authority the dickie aka puppers aka little richard is the cutest puppy in the world... my nephew said it... and you know kids don't lie! ( well until they get a little older) that is the biggest news i must share with the interwebs and any of you random peoples who might just boringly stumble onto my little rant and share space.... but i swear i'll start posting more!! i have home improvements and recipes to share!! but for now ...

so not only has it been a long time since i've written anything of substance, but its been an even longer time since i've posted a recipe. so last week i was on vacation bc i had a friend come to visit (hi colleen) so we were sitting around one morning kinda hungry. i had bought some blueberries be they were 10 for $10 so i kinda had to buy them...$1 for blueberries! plus blueberries are the #1 super food. there was about a 2 month period where every time i talked to my mom she would tell me that she was on a total health kick. and you want to eat good foods..and there were super foods which were super healthy for you. and could i guess what the #1 super food was?? blueberries !!! anti-oxidants and other healthy stuff... (hi mom) so anyway..sitting around..had blueberries. so i googled... originally i was just looking for a blueberry pancake recipe, but it felt like too much work to make pancakes. so i switched to muffins... every time i think about making muffins i googl...

at least i have a reason for not posting the past week.. i'm on vacation!! after colleen leaves i'm going to do some serious yard work so i'll post pic's for the garden... it's HUGE!!!!!! soon we'll have tomatoes for days!!!

oh so before i head out to the garden for some garden time, i owe anyone who may actually read this a little hello... hi! ok, i'm going now jk..... but seriously, the past few months have been a little busy for me. got a promotion at work!! which meant the training process and a whole new location, oh and lots more responsibility which of course means less time. and then there's the house... you saw we started the kitchen (i swear i'll put up after pics for the kitchen and maybe even someday the bathroom..its just a matter of remembering to take pictures after i've cleaned the house bc generally after i've finished cleaning taking pictures is not the first thing on my mind..) and you saw the no-longer-there front porch. we'll in between that i've been cleaning up the house and mess, mowing the lawn, and generally doing the yard work. i figure if the mister can build i can garden... i've got to have my dad's and grandfather's green thumb...

so much has been going on in the house since the mister brought home the kitchen cabinets! he decided to rewire the kitchen outlets while he could rip up the walls and discovered some electrical issues and random wires. so there are a few less outlets including where i used to plug my laptop in. he discovered the back of the house was completely termite damaged (not active but in the past) when he went to hang an upper kitchen cabinet. he found the stud but the screw wasn't catching anything. so he ripped up the siding and the back of the house is covered in plastic. then we got a letter from our home owner's insurance reminding us that we had to "fix" the roof on our front porch. upon further inspection by the mister it was decided to replace rather than fix and i came home from work to this: oh and i forgot to mention he took down the cypress trees in the front one day too. so the permit process and the rain delayed stuff and here we are a few months later.....

so i don't know if i mentioned it, but something my husband is a very well connected man... well not really but that sounds better than right place, right time! so he was able to get us some fancy smancy kitchen cabinets! i don't know if i ha mentioned that our current cabinets are kinda crappy? the one set of uppers is falling apart and i can't put more than kitchen towels in there..so essentially they are empty. wasted space so i don't want to say where he got them for fear of getting in trouble- not  its not illegal!! they didn't "fall off a truck" and if they did they probably would have fallen apart or at the very least gotten severely dinged up. anyways... we are not re- doing the kitchen....kinda i had already painted so the pyramid gold is staying. sadly we might loose the avocado...like i had sad the paint didn't come out right- its sticky and how long ago did we paint it??? so..wanna see the cabinets? this is in the dining room go...
