"Stillness"
Here is my very last minute photo of the month submission at Wine on the Keyboard. The black and white theme was challenging and I'm looking forward to seeing all the other submissions!

spilling it all out
I'm frustrated...
I'm ticked off...
I'm tired...
I'm grumpy...
I'm ready for a vacation... wait... no, that is part of the problem!
Ha. Yeah. So My husband and I have been planning to go on our 5 year wedding anniversary trip. We only booked it a couple weeks ago, and we leave tomorrow. Yeah. Tomorrow.
I am not packed. Heck, the laundry isn't done and I have nothing to wear. I went a couple places after work to try to find a new shirt, or two and wasted way too much time trying on items that didn't fit right, didn't come in the right size, were ugly... IFrustrating.
The dishes are not done. I couldn't log into my NWA account to check my flight. There is not a number to call and talk to a real live person. Instead a "chat" room. It took me way to long to get it fixed. Frustrating.
The floors are dirty. My computer keeps crashing. I couldn't find our "change jar" with our year of change to cash for the trip (disappeared after the move and yeah, still not unpacked).The mail isn't sorted. Heck, one night of hotel isn't booked... yeah, Frustrating.
I keep being snippy with Husband. I don't mean to. (I'm sorry husband...). Things are just frustrating right now. I'm really trying to be patient and happy!
Plus Dakota isn't here. Yeah. See normally when I have a bad day and arrive home before husband, Dakota greets me with a huge smile and wag of his tail. He doesn't care I haven't had time to give him a bath in way to many days, or that the dishes are dirty, and my bank account is low. He doesn't judge me, tell me I shouldn't spend so much on scrapbooking supplies, or do the dishes more often. He is just happy to see me. Anyhow. Dakota went to spend time with family while we are out of town, and I miss him already.
*Deep breath*
Okay. So. Yes, we are going on vacation. I am very excited to get away and spend some much need time relaxing with Husband. I obviously am needing some time away...
Thus will not be posting for a bit. However please do not leave me! I need you all when I get back! I will have all kinds of stories to share, plus that big exciting news I continue to tell you about and never share... yeah, it IS really coming. I promise by the first weekend in June! :-)
Oh, Be sure to subscribe to my twitter feed, as I'll be updating with the up to the minute details of our adventure. Those that do will be able to guess where we are!!!

Dakota ate my glasses
Good thing I still had my hot pink classes from several years ago.
Okay, so back a up a bit...
My husband and I will be going out of town for a few days to celebrate our five year wedding anniversary. The procrastinator that I am (well, we are), we are still working out a few of the kinks in our plan, and even have one night of hotel yet to book.
We also have to about 500 things on our list of things to do before we leave! Therefore, I have spent the last few nights staying up after 2 am. Sure, at 2 am I'm wide awake then, however when trying to get moving a few hours later for work, not so much. Well today I couldn't take it any more. I took a nap after work. I started sleeping on the couch, but Dakota was trying to keep me up. I moved into the bedroom.
I was in the midst of a dream, and I hear, "Dakota, what the heck are you eating now... Dakota no. Put that down. Dakota NOOOOOOOOOOO! Dakota you little &*#@(&!, why Dakota, WHY!?"
I figure it wasn't worth getting up, whatever he ate was gone (he is going through a serious chew on everything phase). Husband came into the room and says, "Your glasses are bent, Dakota tried to eat them".
Yeah, They are not useable.
I had kept, for who knows what reason, my hot pink glasses from my undergrad. Well, tomorrow, I will be going to my professional work place with hot pink glasses. Awesome. Just awesome.

Only took a month!
I want to thank Amber, tootie, Sharla, John Deere Mom, Brittney Kaye, and daisy .... for guessing on my "What a Deal" post, all the way back from April 21! Holy cow!
I can't believe no one said... "hey, Crazy Daisy... tell us what the heck you bought for $22.99 that was originally priced at $229.99! Geez, how long does it take?"
Well, I guess it takes me just under a month. Sorry. I kept meaning to post it, however there is so much going on! And with so much going on, I have so many things i want to share, however haven't had a chance!
Okay, Okay.. anyhow, on to my awesome purchase!
Here it is...
Isn't it just grand! Not worth $229.99, however very much work $22.99!
I actually purchased 2! One for the guest room, and one for the master bedroom!

i love summer and savings!
We only have strawberries, tomato, and now lettuce coming up! I was so surprised and pleased to see this over the weekend! I can already taste fresh strewberry pie! mmmmm!
With us purchasing our home just in November, I had no idea what all flowers, plants and what not would appear. I have had my surprises of what all has sprung up! Most of the spouts have turned out to be foliage, however this one put a smile on my face!
I also try to go through coupons on Sunday. Husband and I made a quick run to Target, picked up a few groceries and between coupons and sales (and some items had both), we did super well!
I clip and save each and every coupon (well, minus a couple I send my family). Yet, I always end up with many that either I don't use because we don't use the product, or because it is just something we don't need. What do you do with your extra coupons? I hate tossing them, however really don't know what to do? I have now sorted out all my 'May' coupons and there are so many I won't be using!

Face 2 Face
We were lucky enough to be able to attend the Face 2 Face concert at the Xcel Energy Center. Amazing doesn't even explain it.
Billy Joel and Elton John.... boy-o-boy. What a pair.
First they played together....
Then, Elton played....
Then Billy....
Then both again!
It was amazing!

If a photo is worth 1000 words...
I hope my photo update tells the story of what we have been up to the last few days and why I have been so absent with blogging!
(Husband' bday)
