Terrific - Terrifying Tuesday
My dog is so hilarious, she thinks she is a small dog. She thinks she fits on the ottoman.
My 60 pound lap dog. Isn't she pretty? Silly girl.
Last night I put the finishing touches on the heart-man onsies.
Now I just need to get them in the mail to Will and Daniel. Sweet boys.
I hadn't painted a t-shirt in years. I am pleased with how these turned out, even though they are not perfect...I think it gives them charm.
So, about 9 months ago I had surgery. As it turns out I will be having surgery again at the end of February. This time it is a scheduled surgery and this time it will be a little more invasive. I am having some fibroid tumors removed from my uterus. The surgery will be similar to a woman having a cesarean section so in the grand scheme of surgery types not a gigantic deal, I know women have c-sections everyday.
As it turns out I think I find unplanned surgery a little less stressful. Last time I was in pain, I went to the doctor, they gave me some meds and put me to sleep and I woke up feeling much better. This time I am not hurting and I know the surgery is coming which gives my creative mind too much time to think about it. Last night I had a terrifying nightmare during which I was awake for the surgery and couldn't move or talk. It was a little scary. Sigh. The only comic relief to the dream was a couple of people making funny faces at me. At least I can still laugh, right?
When I am awake I am not scared and I am not stressing too much...in fact while I was falling asleep last night I was thinking about what to pack for our Italy trip. The surgery wasn't even on my mind. Funny how dreams work, isn't it?
This morning I was up and busy early and wearing a cute outfit that includes this awesome necklace my sister gave me for Christmas.
She has one too. We call it our sisters necklace. We are silly. Thanks for the necklace Sissy!
Have a wonderful Tuesday friends!

Weekend Recap
I had a very fun and creative weekend. It started out on Friday night at the House of Blues. The husband and I went on a date to see B.B. King.
It was awesome. It was like being invited to hang out while he had a little jam session. He played some songs, told lots of stories, and interacted with the crowd. I'm so glad we went. Plus the environment was conducive to making friends.
Saturday we went over to the sister-in-law's house to celebrate our niece Leslie's 5th birthday.
I had fun putting together Leslie's present. She loves Hello Kitty and I got a bunch of stuff from Michael's and put it together in this reusable shopping bag and tied a flower on it.
I almost wanted to keep it for myself. I wish I could say that I made her birthday cake since it was very cute too.
Happy Birthday Leslie!!!
On Sunday we took down our Christmas decorations and I put up Valentine's day.
I'm not going to lie, I want some heart garland for my mantle. Where can I find that?
Sunday afternoon I got busy painting onsies. You might remember my friend Liz from this post.
I went to Florida to visit her and attend her baby shower. Well, her twin boys are here!
They have actually been here a little while, they were born before Christmas and on Sunday I painted them some onsies.
Their last name is Hartman so I was making a cool heart-man design. :)
I found this stamp foam and I used one of my Valentine's Day coasters as a stencil.
I just have a couple of finishing touches and touch ups to add tonight and then they are all set!
Why are weekends so short? This weekend flew by. I hope you had a great weekend too!

Insta-Friday #10
This week has been all about getting back into my regular routine and this post marks my first Insta-Friday of 2013...back to the routine.
Let's start off with fun New Year's Eve Instas...
Last week and this week I have gotten back to cooking awesome healthy dinners.
Yesterday, I got back to the gym.
Sammy finally got back to her routine of lying around.
Switching topics to things I am loving (a routine I am always in)...I had a couple of Christmas gift cards burning a hole in my pocket...this bag is now coming my way!
I found this pillow at the Nutcracker Market and gave it to the husband for Christmas. Cute.
I am so happy it's Friday that I don't know what to do with myself. The husband and I are off on date night tonight. We are headed to the House of Blues to see B.B. King. Awesome!
Have a great weekend everyone!!
