heres the thing

so, i kept thinking i would find my camera charger so i could upload pics and get back to blogging...

yet to happen.

and, since i dont believe in posting w/o a picture (or 5) i've just taken a little break from the bloggy world, which was nice and gave me an opportunity to pretty much become a Pinterest VIP (or i think i am, and my husband claims they should give me an award for how many hours i spend pinning)

so, until i find my battery to charge my camera - so i can actually, you know... turn it on, i'll be using my dear love pinterest for her pics...

(anyone else thinking i should find a backup charger? last time i lost it, i found it in a suitcase about 6 months after a vacation-- which really only means, i should vacation more... right?)

until then, i have a little rant

DEAR HOBBY LOBBY,
I'D LIKE TO INFORM YOU THAT IS JULY, AND YOU'VE ALREADY PUT OUT YOUR CHRISTMAS DECOR, WHICH IS KINDA PUTTING A DAMPER ON MY SUMMER TAN. DO YOU REALLY THINK THIS IS NECESSARY? NO ONE PLANS THAT FAR AHEAD, JUST LET US ENJOY THE POOL, thanks... me :)

sigh, okay i'm over it.
in the spirit of Christmas and decorating,
here are some of my favorite Christmas pics from pinterest:

1. apple cider in apples.... genius

(and a lot of work hollowing out apples)

2. the ultimate Christmas cake

3. this is beautiful

4. first, i LOVE this song

and second, how cute is this?!?

and 5. the man tree

thought this was pretty impressive for a man,

the gifts are even wrapped.

high-five!

happy monday,

apologies for my absence,

i'll do better :)
