She is Almost Ready

My no-name kitty is almost ready. It feels like it is taking forever! She was born March 23rd so she is still really little. She can finally hop into the litter box on her own. I guess it takes a couple attempts at it and even sometimes a running start but she is litter trained! She is eating soft kitten food right now too! When I get her I will be mixing wet kitten food with the hard kitten food and then WHAM! She'll be ready! I can't wait to get her. I was totally crushed when Princess died. I never recovered from it and I doubt I ever will. I think I am still stuck in the denial stage. I still expect her to be at my parents house waiting for me, staring out the front door glaring at me for being gone so long but you could see excitement in her eyes because I was finally home to see her. So even though I have NO one excited for me to get my kitty and no one in the family will ever come over anymore I will finally (hopefully) have that void in my heart filled my new kitty.

Wish me luck!

365 Day Challenge

Meet my Mr. Antenna Man....May 4, 2009



May 5, 2009 - The awesomeness of my flowers. What a great way to celebrate Cinco De Mayo than in a garden with awesome flowers and my hubby. This is my happy place.




Where is your happy place? Did you plant flowers this year? Do you rock a fabulous Antenna man like I do? (Don't judge he is really cool)

I Took A Break

I had 2 finals from hell and I took my Nclex-PN exam all within 3 weeks of each other. It was so hard! So I took a break from my 365 day challenge. I think it was a valid reason for a break. Don't hate me!! I started back up today. I'll start posting again soon I promise. Ya'll have a good night.


xoxoxo--Cassy


p.s. I left $100+ richer from our trip to Vegas :)

Spring Time

April 17, 2009 - Does anyone else hate these stupid weeds?


April 18, 2009 - The friendly neighborhood lama. There is a whole field of lama's by my house. Totally random but I always say hi to them when I pass bye.


April 19, 2009 - Beautiful spring blossoms. I love this warm weather don't you?

My Challenge Just Got More Challenging.

I am going to try and do nothing but portraits of people starting Monday for my 365 day challenge. I am going to do it for the whole week. It should be kinda fun. Let me know if you want to be one of my portraits. It would be nice to have some volunteers. :)

Welcome Sign

I have been having too much fun with my crafting lately. I had my sister-in-law make me a few signs for the front door on her Cricut. I think I might save up and get one. I could have a lot of fun with some girlfriends If I had one. We could have a crazy craft night and make some pretty awesome stuff.

This is how my craft started:

Yellow and white polka dot wrapping paper, purple wrapping paper, a picture frame and a few awesome vinyl sayings.

This is how it came out:


Cute huh? I can't wait to get the others made. Next I'll put together Summer. I have some fun plans for that one. I can't wait!!! I'll keep you posted.

Do you think I could sell these? Maybe at the Farmers Market? Online? Who knows....Would you buy one? How much do you think it reasonable?
Would you come over and craft with me if I invited you and had my own Cricut?

Tuesday Tell All

Do you have a guilty pleasure? We do....


You can multiply this by 2. We went on Saturday to Macey's because they were having a killer deal and then I went again today. YUM! We are all stocked up for Summer.

What is your guilty pleasure?

April 10, 2009

This is how my mailbox looks most days of the week. If I have outgoing mail the mail man will stop and then my mail box is overloaded. He only stops once a week when I have a package or outgoing mail. I used to sit out and wait for him so he knew I was watching him and he would just pass bye. I have complained but it didn't do any good. 1-Provo post office is full of lazy rude people and 2- it is a government regulated business of course they won't/can't help you. If you have any ideas let me know.

April 11, 2009

These are my pots I bought. I wanted to show you the cuteness of the whole dish. I know they look awesome on the stove but I wanted to show off the super cute bottom. This is the link to them cooking bacon when I first got them.

April 12, 2009

This is my next craft project. No worries I will make sure to post finished pictures. :)

So what do you think? Have you challenged yourself to the 365 day challenge? If you do let me know. I would love to see what you come up with everyday. Have a happy Monday. I'll see you all tomorrow with my Tuesday Tell All post :)

What better way to avoid my Monday studying. . .

So here you go!

March 27, 2009 - you may remember this tree from a few posts back. It is the same tree just 24 hours after our snow storm. Crazy Utah weather...


March 28, 2009 - We went to Ogden to pick up my big metal desk because my parents sold their house. On our way to the freeway we saw this. A midget on a trike. WTF?


March 29, 2009 - This is a picture of the two cutest kids. They are my friend Stacie's. They crack me up. 'A' smiles just like her mom and 'E' looks just like his dad. Too funny.


March 30, 2009 - We pretty much had a hurricane come through Provo and it ripped apart my flowers on the porch. This is all that is left of them. I'm not too worried because there are a couple buds and I will be going to Home Depot for a few new ones to add to my pot and a few others I have in the back yard.


March 31, 2009 - I salvaged this from my pot after the hurricane. It was the prettiest flower from my pot too.


April 1, 2009 - These are my finished garden labels. I think I did a pretty good job.


April 2, 2009 - This is what my coffee table looks like all the time.


April 3, 2009 - I think she is perfect in every way. She is gorgeous. I love the way she flirts with her unkie (my Mr. R).


April 4, 2009 - This is a preview of my new pots. SO SO SO cute. I love having non-stick pans again. Aren't they super cute??


April 5, 2009 - My parents came into town to sign their house away to the happy couple that bought it. We met them at the Gateway, ate Thiaphoon, and watched my little brother dodge the water.


April 6, 2009 - My cute door thing. What do you think?


So that was a long list of pictures. I'll try and be better about posting them sooner. What have you been up to lately?

This is my favorite book. I know I said that about Peter Pan but can't a girl have a few favorites? Ladies, this is so worth the trip to the library if you have not already read it. I love Lizzy and Mr. Darcy. If you want to cheat and watch the movie make sure it is the A&E version. The BBC one is okay but not as great of a film. The new version sucks really bad so don't waste your time with it.

I wish I could have lived in this time. Proper women, gentlemen in suits, and old fashion romance.

Here is a trailer for the movie.


And here is a link of where you can buy it.

4:365 --> Softball Games and Mosaic Crafts

Here is photo number 4. I really love doing this challenge. This is my friend Stephanie's daughter Megan. She is playing varsity softball and she is only a frosh (freshman). She covers third and is super fun to watch.



Today after the softball game Stephanie, Brittny, Brooke (Steph's youngest) and I made mosaic garden tiles. We broke tiles with a hammer and cemented them into place. I am waiting to take a picture till tomorrow. I wouldn't want to cheat and take picture #5 early. :) We have a lot of leftovers so we will be making more mosiacs soon.
