    T Tuesday: April Fool’s edition

    April 1, 2014 - By 

    Holy smokes…its April already! We’re a quarter of the way through 2014.  I better get myself in gear with my get healthy initiative. monster smoothieGreen monster smoothie…check. I already finished my coffee for the day and what would T stands for Tuesday be without a beverage.

    Mother Nature decided to play a trick on us.

    Here we have yesterday…yesterdayAnd today…todaySnow…wind…sub zero “real feel” temps. Booooo!!

    Another trick I noticed after being up for 2 hrs was this…no foolingAn ugly bruise at the base of my thumb joint. I think maybe it was partially dislocated…I adjusted the joint. It still doesn’t hurt,  just feels weird. No clue…I guess I’ll wait it out for a day or so and see what comes of it.

    An last but not least…I have to share this photo Little J took the other day.magic pawWhat’s even more amazing to me is that she took it with an iPad mini. No foolin’!

    I also thought I’d direct you to our flubber results if you hadn’t already seen them.

    I’m going to go ice my thumb a bit before visiting the link list over at Elizabeth’s blog.

    T Tuesday: Spring Break edition

    March 25, 2014 - By 

    I wish I could say this was a scheduled post and I was relaxing with a cocktail on a tropical beach somewhere…that was not to be. Instead our “real feel” temp was below zero this morning. And it snowed yesterday. Little J  made the remark “this isn’t Spring Break…it’s Winter Break.” So true.spring break teaLittle J and I are going to make flubber later…should be messy.

    For now I’m going to visit the link list over at Elizabeth’s blog.

    T Tuesday: Japan edition

    March 18, 2014 - By 

    Tuesday again already….T stands for Tuesday with Elizabeth sneaks up so fast. Especially when life has gotten so busy as of late. That’s ok…I’m not complaining. It’s just an adjustment for me.20140318_4520Twice now I’ve mentioned gifts brought back from Japan. I’m finally getting around to posting them…geesh.

    Little J heard that there were different flavors of Kit-Kat candy bars in Japan and asked her Uncle if he’d bring some back.20140302_4361These were strawberry flavored. She loved them…I thought they were ok…but I’d rather have chocolate.  She also got this package of sweet puffed rice…we still aren’t sure if its for eating or if it’s just to be left out as an offering of sorts for a custom that is to bless couples with a new relationship…or something of that sort. I’m really not too clear and my future sister-in-law is working so I can’t ask her. (They got engaged while in Japan)

    20140315_4517Her uncle also had this custom drawing made for her…so cute.

    20140315_4505Continuing on the food… Mr. G’s new kaiju is holding a snack mix we are afraid to try even though the package tells us to “please enjoy tasting”. (click on the photo to enlarge…there are tiny whole dried fish in there)

    Big J got a t-shirt with a map of the Tokyo subway system and a funny headband….neither of which I can seem to find this morning.20140315_4511I got this super cute washi tape holder…already have it loaded with a few rolls.

    20140315_4512And a couple packs of beautiful papers…they even saved a fun shopping bag that they knew I’d use. 🙂

    In addition, they brought us back a refrigerator magnet…which is something we ask friends to buy us when they travel. We have magnets from all over the world…it’s nice to have well traveled friends.

    I’m off…have to go work my half day but I’ll be back later to visit my blog friends and their T Tuesday posts!
