A little too much...

I took on a little too much this week and usually when that happens it comes back to bite me in the bum cheeks.

Speaking of bum cheeks I went to the chiropractor yesterday because my pants have felt like they were hanging to one side. I should have known it would turn out bad when I used a coupon (cut out of the newspaper) to visit this (will remain nameless) establishment.

As the chiropractor performed his voodoo medicine which consisted of me holding viles of minerals to my chest, he ran his hands up and down my body mumbling, "liver, heart, lungs, pancreas, mumble. mumble. mumble." Then he had me raise my hands and squawk like a chicken.

jokes.

Once he was finished with my examination, he said, "Your lady parts aren't working right." My response, "Well, that's lovely." I would usually pay my GYNO for that type of consultation...

End result. My pants are still hanging across my left bum cheek.

Anyway.....

I took on a lot this week.

I have had a few emails asking me why all my lovelies in my farmers market booth aren't up for grabs in my etsy shop.

Answer:

I have been so busy trying to restock for the farmer's markets every week that I haven't had time to make duplicates (yet). I also decided that I would take on an additional third farmer's market every week so I am now scrambling just to shower regularly (shaving has become optional).

;)

But I pinky promise that as soon as farmer market season is over I will stock the shop with all of my lovelies. Including my oh so favorite rufflers!

So while there is no tutorial or divine words of wisdom today I will leave you with this...

My massive amount of laundry that is puked stained because Punk has found it necessary to puke on every single item of clothing today, as well as every couch cushion, every bed, every rug, and every inch of his momma's body this mornin'.

My mantra. 

I think laundry breeds on it's own... 

Tutorial: Limetini Ice Cream

Last week I had the opportunity to participate in the Country Chic Cottage's Beach Bash!

I live in Montana so the closest beach is, well, 734 miles away. So we don't get very "beachy" around here.

We do have our own "beach"  in town. But. it. ain't. no. beach.

trust me.

Even though we don't get to enjoy the salty aroma of sea water or the warm feel of sand between our toes we do love to enjoy the nice cold satisfaction of summer refreshments!

One of my favorites is a little dish I call Limetini Ice cream.

Years ago I had something similiar, but I forgot the exact recipe so I had to come up with my own concoction, which is a-mazing!

To make your own limitini ice cream you will need:

Vanilla or Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Ice

Margarita Mix--Lemon Lime and/or Strawberry Lime

Mint Leaves

Mixer

And most importantly--your Par-tay Pants!

We go virgin style because we don't drink, but I am sure if you wanted to you could add your own "special" ingredient.

Usually when I make this refreshment I fill the blender with 1 1/2 cups of margarita mix, two mint leaves, and then I top it off by filling the blender half full with ice.

I usually only use the "chop ice" option on my blender because I don't want the ice to become liquidified. I know I am finished chopping when all the ice has a nice shaved ice consistency to it.

Once the ice has been chopped I then scoop ice cream into glasses, top them with my margarita mix, and then add a final mint leaf as a garnish!

Simple. Easy. Fun. Refreshing!

Now the only good way to enjoy your beautiful limetini or strawtini ice cream is while laying back in a lawn chair, drink in hand, soaking up the afternoon rays, while reading Spunky Junky on your lap top!

;)

Thanks for stopping by and if you want to join me I am partying here!

Crazy drivers and a Winner!

 Hunk and I spent the good part of 15 minutes racing up an down our subdivision trying to get some stellar pics of the amazing sunset.

Reverse. Drive. No, reverse again. No Drive! Left! No, right! Back up. More! More! Stop! Left....you get the point.

I'm not positive, but I am sure that the cops may have been called due to a suspicious red dodge driving erratically on the road....

We may not have Tiffany's, Rodeo Avenue, Broadway, Starbucks, (or Old Navy) but we do have the best sunsets. ever.

Now, that's a fact.

P.S.

Sorry, for no Feature Friday. It will be up tomorrow. promise.

Hunk started a new job (he's kind of a big deal) and we don't get to see his purdy face much so I am going to take full advantage of him tonight and force him to make out with me and then rub my feet...

P.S.S.

The winner winner of the Ultimate Body Applicator is....#24 Lizzy @ Warm and Fuzzy.

You are one lucky duck chicka!

butts, birds, and swings...

Yes, they all have something in common.

Today, I replaced crappy bums with bare bums, lots of sun, hungry birds, and hystarical laughter while flying through the air on the swing with my Punk.

This afternoon was a special treat because we got to hang out by the pond near the place I lived in college. This place brings back lots of memories, some sad, some happy.

I learned how to iron clothes (properly) here.

I made my first turkey here.

I cried over boyfriends here.

I met Hunk here.

I learned how to unthaw pipes here.

I had sleepovers here.

I had my first Hawaiian Christmas tree here.

I paid my first rent here.

I found myself here.

I got proposed to twice here (both by Hunk).

So this place is kind of special and I hope that I can now start new memories here with Punk.

shirt: downeast basics, circa 2010 necklace: spunky junky

I want him to remember flying through the air.

I want him to remember bouncing across the trail in his stroller.

I want him to remember to ignore the signs and still go ice fishing with his Daddy.

I want him to remember that this is where his Dad proposed to his Momma.

I want him to remember feeding the noisy geese and ducks...

I want him to remember that all the scraps and bruises he got will always be signs of all the fun he had that day.

 And when he is not on the swings and feeding the ducks I want him to look back and cringe at all the naked pictures of took of him today, because...

Punk is happiest when he can run around with his bum and man business flowing in the breeze. He is also prone to pee on the sidewalks, I am fine with that until he tries to play in the puddle he created...

*blehk*

But these are all memories that I would love us to remember!
