view from here...

it's been a long time since i have done avfh photo

this morning...

who's with me...

i adore the blog beauty that moves

it's good for the soul

last season heather (from btm) offered an online 30 day vegan experience

i missed the sign up deadline

a coupla other loved blogs were doing it and blogging about it

 i was eaten up with jealousy

i wasn't gonna miss a second chance

so...i jumped at the chance to sign u for the summer session

i did it...paid and everything

it would be fun to compare notes

so do it with me

oh and btw i am so sorry i have been MIA

i am committed to do better

maybe this will help

meatless tuesday

monday....

sweet surprise...

all day date with baby ava bird...

wow it's a lot more work than i remember...

taking care of a one year old that is...

she had fun "helping" me scold gus who was locked in her huge kennel in the same room with us...

simmer down all you animal lovers...she jumps up on ava and her nails are sharp...

she...ava not gus...would point her chubby little finger at the cage and say "shuuushhu" (hush up doggie)

she is by far about the cutest thing in the whole world!!!!

i don't know why but i went brain deadish the second i got home with her...

i forgot it was monday 1st of all...

i even had...and please don't judge....i'm scared to say...ok here goes...

mcdonalds

yikes

and when i got home bible study last night...my sweet man had chicken potstikers and brown rice ready

and since i can never say no to potstickers...or a meal that i didn't make...or that sweet man-o-mine

ok thats a lie i can say no..to that sweet man-o-mine...but not the other 2

again don't judge

needless to say meatless monday is really meatless tuesday....today

k...so 3 things

this is my youngest child
she's a nut
she graduates this may
i have been collecting things for a memory box
actually reviewing the pile it looks more like voodoo ingredients
weird....hmmmm....
anyway she found the hair and whilst i was brushing my teeth...
she showed up w/ this goatee
hard to brush ones teeth with toothpaste and spit coming out ones nostrils

i been painting again
don't ask me "why a chicken" cause i don't know
but here it is

3rd meatless monday under my belt...hahaha
it went well as usual
makes me think i could be a vegetarian
...just as long as i could have sesame chicken once in a while
oh and bacon once a year
oh aaand a big ol juicy hamburger and beef lo mein
...and ribs


never mind

canned biscuits...canned coffee

i am usually a purest...
you know organic...plastic free...hormone free...and such

for instance my middle daughter (who is away from home for a few months) says to me..."sorry mama but i want/need gift-cards to walmart and mcdonalds...because those are the 2 places we go ALOT...oh and you're gonna hate this too...i eat top ramen almost every day" she is apologizing (which i think is super funny because she's almost 21 and can eat and shop where she likes <3) because i say all the time how the devil lives there (mickyd's and walmart) and allowed so little top ramen to my girls that they think it's like special occasion food....***like ok it's your birthday...we can eat anything/anywhere you want*** and they say TOP RAMEN...or the mcdonalds that's inside the local walmart...

however...
i don't know if i am feeling rebellious or lazy but this is what my brunch consisted of today...

i mean it wasn't even the brand name canned biscuits....
no it was the butter "flavored" store brand...

whenever i send my sweet man to the store for tampons he always buys beer and sugared cereal and canned biscuits...i guess these qualify as "man food" and even things out @ the checkout

so i decided to reeeeally throw caution to the wind and put brown sugar on them...and then slather butter on them when they came outta the oven... @least it is organic butter and pure cane sugar and i did pour the coffee in a pretty glass..

i'm so glad sweetman is on a 3 hour bike ride this morning and can't witness the debauchery...
which means i'll have to eat the whole pan to get rid of the evidence...
gotta go...
lot's a "work" to do
