Got Rhinovirus?

Rhinovirus? Really, who decided on that name? I will admit, though, when you aren't feeling well, it sounds much better to say you have the "Rhinovirus" rather than just a plain ole' cold. Get's you a bit more sympathy from the fam....okay, well, maybe it just means that they'll order pizza instead of waiting for you to tell them what's for dinner.

When the Rhino comes knocking, I pull out this stuff



Seriously, I heart this stuff. It really does make my cold shorter. Don't know what's really in it, don't care.

For those of you who are really into the Rhinovirus, Zicam even has a widget you can download and get daily updates on cold and flu activity in your area. Who knew?

ladies who lunch

Ask anyone who is my friend and they'll tell you that I am a lady of leisure....you know, the kind that lounges around doing nothing but lunching (it's a verb, trust me) with friends.


Today I get to be lazy again (that is after I am done with two volunteer things over a the school) and go to lunch with a good friend.

I heart lunch...a lot.

Today I'm feeling creative and bloggy, so of course I headed over to one of my favorite websites, Today's Creative Blog.






There is a wealth of information to heart under just about every category you can imagine. It's a great shortcut to finding inspiration for getting creative....or bloggy. Whichever you heart.

craftarafting favs

I thought I'd post some of my favs from my week of craftarafting.








I heart them....or I wouldn't have made them in the first place, right?

be still my flickr-ing heart

The other day I was on one of my favorite blogs (which I shall blog about later) and I became intimately acquainted with flickr.

I've seen flickr before, but never was very enticed to go on over and check it out, but the aforementioned blogger was having a contest and flickr was involved in entering the contest and since I am all about winning free stuff, I went on over and joined that flickr thing. I'm hooked. If you want to get hooked too, just click on that cute little button over on the left and it'll take you right to my photostream.



Yep, I heart flickr

fond memories

Today during the aforementioned craftaganza, I was doing some sewing on my grandma's old sewing machine. I remember sitting in the "spinny-aroundy" chair eating the butter and sugar sandwiches (yeah, it's true) she made for me watching her sew on this very machine. Never imagined thirty-ish years later that I'd be creating on it too.



I asked my mom why she wasn't using her sewing machine? "Honestly," she said "this one works better."

They just don't make them like they used to. I heart this machine. It's loud, the needle isn't quite in the center and it has absolutely no fancy stitches. Hopefully it will get passed down to me someday.....cause it'll probably work better than mine.

craftarafting

Today marks the beginning of a week long craftaganza with my mom. I am going to spend the week in my jammies, making crafts and eating junk. Maybe I'll even post a few pictures.....of the crafts, ya know.

What's not to heart about that?
