Out of the dark

One of my friends is getting married soon. Actually the wedding is in February. She is trying to make her wedding as green as possible. She is using only organic or locally grown food for the dinner, she has green flowers, her dress is even made out of organic materials. They are having a late evening ceremony and are using candlelight to save energy. She is having a harder time coming up with a plan for the reception. But I think I may have found something to help her.

I found these wedding lights that are very energy efficient. They actually use 80% less energy that regular lighting. And to top it off they come in all different colors, sizes, styles. There are even some that look like little snowflakes that I think are just beautiful. Another good thing about these lights is that they can be reused after the ceremony for other events. She will love that!

Who Is Taking A Break

I'm going to be taking a break from this blog for awhile longer. I haven't been posting regularly due to my crazy schedule. So I thought I should officially post something to explain my absence. I don't know when or if I will come back here to post. I'm hoping that as my schedule levels out I will have time to get back with it.

Until then please feel free to visit my other blogs Hunna's Happenings and
The Making of A Mom!

Who Got An Award

I got a thinking blog award from Skittles! How nice of her!!! She is one of my regular readers and she leaves me great comments that I surely appreciate! Today she not only left me an award but also left a great question. WHERE ARE YOU?

I have been very busy and unfortunately that means not much time for blogging. I'm counting down the weeks till the end of the semester. Three to go now. Then I get a nice one month break before summer session begins. So now that it's close to the end of the semester my homework is just piling up. It seems endless but there is an end in sight. I hope that when the class work subsides a bit I'll have more time for blogging.

So that's where I am and what am doing. I'll try to get better about blogging daily again!

Have You Colored Easter Eggs

I haven't colored Easter eggs yet but Heather and I got all the stuff tonight to do it. We even boiled the eggs. Our plan is to color them all tomorrow. It's one of our favorite things to do. My favorite Easter egg color is green. I love letting my eggs sit for a long time in the green so they are really dark green. They look awesome that way.

So have you colored Easter eggs?

Have You Mowed Your Yard Yet This Season

Tonight my yard had to be mowed for the first time this season. The grass had gotten really tall from all the rain we have had. So now it's all mowed and edged and raked and it looks great. Welcome Spring!!!

Have you mowed your yard yet this season?

When Your Plate Is Too Full What Do You Let Go Of

Well obviously I tend to let go of my blogging. As soon as things get crazy at work or with homework I tend to drop my blogging. I haven't posted here in days and I hate that. I really enjoy keeping up with all my blogs and blogging buddies. So I really need to make sure I take at least five minutes a day to post and visit some folks. I'm gonna do better this week I hope.

So what do you let slide when your busy?

What Is Something You Would Like To Splurge On

I would love to splurge on my yard. I would love to have enough money to be able to afford a yard boy. While a cute yard boy would be nice to look at I would prefer a yard boy that could make my yard beautiful! I would love to have a gorgeous perfectly manicured lawn. That is my dream. I want the yard that makes people pause when they drive by. I want people to stop and say "Man that's a great yard." That's what I want.

What would you splurge on?
