What day is it?

This is one of my new occupational hazards. I often don't know what day it is. Chris' work schedule really throws me for a loop. He works 24 hours then is home the following 24 hours [over the course of 10 days]. Afterwards, he is off for 6 days in a row. It's a fantastic schedule, really. I LOVE IT. But it throws my calendar off! Speaking of which, Chris is done with his probation! 18 months is a loooong time! I'm so proud of him!

Let's see. What's happening?
All the boys are back to school in a little over a week.
I got a J.O.B. Except, I exaggerate. It's more like a TREAT, not a job.
I'll be working at my local scrapbook store, Making Memories Unforgettable for about 10-12 hours a week.
I am geeked out with excitement.

I have throughly been enjoying my subscription to Studio Calico.
I am more than halfway done with my album for our NYC trip.
Lots of scrappy projects are "in progress". I can hardly wait for them to be complete so I can share! [Wink Wink].

I'm a latecomer to the Twilight series.
I finished Twilight a few days ago and am halfway through New Moon.
I must admit, that I was skeptical more than halfway into Twilight.
And then I was sucked in. [Pun intended].

Lots of swimming and trips to Dairy Queen going on around here.
I've even knocked out a bit of back to school shopping for the boys.
Here is a "find" from Target last week.
They are for Jake. Chris gets the credit for spotting them. $6.24! [Marked down from $25!].



I tried a new recipe last week.
It's a KEEPER, for sure.
It must come as no surprise for you food afficionados out there that I downloaded the recipe from none other than
THE PIONEER WOMAN. I made it for a pot-luck we went to last night.
They were the talk of the party!
Here they are in their pre-cooked glory.



Well, that's what I have for my monthly update. LMAO.
Happy August!
