Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip

Driving me insane.

My kitchen sink had a leak a few weeks ago.  Hubby managed to stop the under the sink leak. 

Unfortunately, now the faucet leaks. 

And it is getting worse.  How I wish I had the skills to fix this darn faucet!

But for now I keep getting to hear drip drip drip drip drip drip drip.

And of course, when I go over to see if it's dripping because someone failed to turn it off all the way, it stops.  Mocking me.

Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip!

Well now that was pretty cool

Friday night we had a little dance for school.  It was pretty darn fantastic if I do say so myself.  We have the good fortune of a patio with a very cool view at night.  So we were really excited when we were approved to have the dance out on that patio.

Perfect night.  The weather was gorgeous.  There was no humidity.  The sound was amazing and the lights were out of this world.

And I managed to stay out of the way of my oldest who was at her first high school dance. 

Yup, pretty cool and pretty near to perfect.

Good stuff.

One of my all time favorites. . .

Anytime I had a lot of school work to do, especially if it involved writing a paper, I would set myself up in the living room and crank this one up.  Well, maybe not crank it up.  But it was one of my favorite songs to listen to while writing.  And I still turn it on to set the mood when I have a lot of work to do. 

Listen to this one here.  You'll love it too!

Lord I hope this day is good. . .

Each day at school we have a designated moment of silence.  Sometimes it seems like a really long time.  But most of the time I find myself singing this one: 

Not because I'm feeling empty or misunderstood.  Not because I'm afraid God has forgotten me.  But because it is a catchy tune that reminds me what I need to get out of my day.

Hooray for Harold Lloyd!!

When we were kids we used to stay up "late" to watch Harold Lloyd on PBS.  This is something I need to get my kids to watch.  So far they haven't seen any of these classics. . .and since they can be found on youtube, there's just no reason for them to be left out, right?

I love skinny dip!

No words were mistakenly left out of that title. 

One day at work I was introduced to skinny dip.  Oh my!  What a delicious little treat.  Of course it's another pinterest thing.  (I'm sure you know pinterest.  For me it's a website I refuse to join because it will become another time suck and I just can't allow myself to go there.)

So I googled for it.

Super easy and super tasty. 

1 block of softened 1/3 light Philadelphia cream cheese
1 can of corn, drained
1 red pepper, diced (green works too)
2 jalepeno peppers, seeds removed, diced
1 small can of sliced black olives (but then I chop them a little)
1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix

Mix and enjoy.  It's that easy.  And 2 out of 3 kids in my household not only tried it, but loved it.  Who would have ever thought?
