DH worked today so I had the entire day to myself and felt crafty, so I made these adorable 5x7's for framing side by side to sell on my community website. Whimsical and fun!

Mission Resignation

Posted Friday, August 29, 2008 5:34 PM

Giving my notice has turned into mission impossible. It's driving me crazy after all of the stress involved in actually making the decision and building up the nerve to face my boss...and it's dragging out! It's quite exhausting. By the time I can approach

Kick my butt 2 days ahead.

Posted Wednesday, August 27, 2008 6:52 PM

Counting down the days until the long weekend. I know, I'm a brat. I should be relaxed after vacation and ready to tackle whatever comes my way. Not so much the case. My mind and body are still on vacation. I did not want to get out of bed this morning.

I've been working on this off & on all day, CLICK HERE to view our vacation pictures. So, I'm too exhausted to actually write a lengthy blog post describing our fun trip, but the photos pretty much say it all. Hope to catch up on what's new with everyone

Vacation on Monday and I'm a Crab.

Posted Saturday, August 16, 2008 6:50 PM

I am taking a break. I have been cleaning all day in preparation for vacation - I just hate coming home to a messy house. I am sore. I am tired. DH is not helping. He's in my way & he's done very little today while I slave away. And the dirty looks

Vegetarian Dinner with a dash of Arrogance

Posted Thursday, August 14, 2008 9:19 PM

With all of the home projects (my pictures are at roeshel.googlepages.com) we haven't had the time to put in a garden this year, but my dad just dropped off TONS of fresh corn on the cob, green peppers and green tomatoes! And since we're leaving for vacation

School Shopping Part I Completed

Posted Tuesday, August 12, 2008 9:46 PM

After work, I headed to the mall with my daughter. I drove the 1/2 hour to Ross Park Mall (closer to Pgh) which has more stores than our own mall. I didn't change out of my heels, so my feet hurt and while it's fun shopping with DD, I want to throw a

Vacation Countdown

Posted Monday, August 11, 2008 6:33 PM

I really hate Mondays...today was no exception. With 3 people being off, I've become the "go to/back up" and something that's to take 60-90 days needs done by Friday - who takes time off without preparing for it, leaving it for someone else to handle?

Mothers are Made of Money, don't you know?

Posted Wednesday, August 06, 2008 6:44 PM

Here is something you have to look forward to as your babies and children grow into teenagers (at least it's my frequent recent experience). Our conversation usually ends with a huff, stomp, slammed door and blasting music. She is really good at choosing

Cursory Anniversary

Posted Monday, August 04, 2008 8:11 PM

Shame on me...I am NOT prepared for our 3rd anniversary. The last 2 years our gift to each other was "movers" since 2 years ago we sold his home, moved into a rental house and last year we bought our house and moved in. So, I guess I'm accustomed to "no

Loads of Fun!

Posted Saturday, August 02, 2008 9:03 PM

Loads of laundry that is...not fun. That was one of my big accomplishments for the day. Laundry and sewing. I did make some cute throw pillows for my office and got 1 curtain done. 3 more to go. Ugh. I'm sew'd out. Needless to say, it's been an otherwise

About DANGERUSS & MITTENS

My husband calls me Mittens. I adore my husband, girls (19 & 16), our dapple doxie, Niski and spending time with family. I love the D&R board - you can usually find me there. It's a good thing I love D&R since we bought an old farmhouse last year that needs a complete cosmetic makeover. I love decorating & rearrange the furniture every time I clean. Yes, nearly once a week! I also love all things pink & girly. I'm an entrepreneur (wanna-be supermodel, actress, writer and princess - but my wanna-be status changes frequently). I love to blog. :)
