Well it was another busy weekend here in Cow Town/ Sac Town. Friday I nearly took off 1/2 my toe at the farmers market when the freezer I was moving fell on it. Its not pretty I'll spare you the photos. I cant wear shoes right now which is really interfering with Gym time. Farmers market was fun though I have some regular customers now and we almost broke $200. I know its not that much but its a huge deal when you make that much on ice cream before 1pm! After farmers BT and I went to Costco for some indulgence of hot dogs and pizza. Yes dinner was under $10 and we were both very satisfied! It was our "off" day from being good and eating healthy. So what else could make it better a Blizzard! So here is an interesting Fact. In Texas they have to turn your Blizzard upside down if they don't you get it for FREE!! Here in California they don't event give you a show by turning it upside down its very disappointing.
Sunday was as lazy as could be. 6 episodes of Greek later I got on the bike and rode home to do some crafting! I know amazing right. Well I could spoil the surprise of what I'm making but it's a gift so you will just have to wait. I will have to say I'm going to make a tutorial for it's inspired from this tutorial but I have a Different approach.
And now its Monday and work time...bleh!

Ice Cream and Miffy
This weekend was a blast!
Friday I worked from home due to a huge traffic accident. This gave me some much needed home time to clean and sew!!! Yes finally a day to be crafty! I made a table cloth and my new apron! The pattern I won a few weeks ago from Miffy! I have to say I am pretty saucy...
That leads us to Saturday where I was again the ice cream princess. Check out that table cloth! Yes I made it all by myself and fashioned the Velcro to get the sign attached! I impressed myself with the handy work! Next there was dinner with the Canadians. BT and I had a lot of fun making pizza from scratch with them and just hanging out.
Sunday was River Day!!! Wake boarding and "Nashing". "Nashing" is just us fooling around on kiddie skis that are about 3ft long. Makes for some great laughs. We just hung out on the river with friends ate drank and were definately Merry!
Weekends like this make life worth living!!!

Red Light Green Light
Remember the game Red Light Green Light when you were little? I do I loved that game! People in Sacramento on the other hand don't seem to understand what Red Light means. Almost every day I see someone run a blatant Red Light. The light is so red I could be half way through the intersection before I get hit. I don't know if the Yellow's are quick or what but running Red Lights in Sacramento just seems to be a way of life. And no I wont be running any Red lights any time soon (the tickets cost about $375 and I'm cheap!!!).

Basketball Jones I gotta Basketball Jones
So last night I made it through watching 1/2 of the Lakers Vs Magic Game 4 with BT. He is currently sitting behind me helping me write my first sports critique since I don't know the players names!
The first 1/2 of the game was all in the hands of the Magic (who the hell came up with that name?). But before I even get into the game I should mention the kindergarten choreography used by the magic at the beginning of the game. Girls with red capes and a mascot were lowered by cables from the ceiling to the floor and that was about all of the intro show. And the mascot looks like Barney on steroids with wings what is so magical about that?
Okay back to the game. To be honest there isn't going to be much in this post about the game but really the many many weird and unsightly events that took place in the first half.
1. Arm Condoms. Dwight Howard, Jameer Nelson, Mickaeal Pietrus, and Tony Battie were all wearing what I like to "Arm Condoms" and only to protect one arm. BT said it was due to Allen Iverson who wears it due to Gang Tats which the League prohibits (or Bursitis which seems well kinda unlikely). Now I'm not to sure but I'm thinking they are trying to have a fashion contest with who has the best Arm Condom. Dwight Howard hands down wins! His was decorated with Silver lines looking like Lightening or Duct Tape.
2. Man Humping. What is up with the man humping? Guys are so worried about looking gay but they slap each other on the ass when they hit a good shot. Well now there is some obvious man humping going on. Lamar Odom and Jameer Nelson got tangled up to the point one was on top of the other. The next thing I see is some raunchy defense where the offense is deliberately bending over putting is butt against the crotch of the defense. What is going on here people??? I thought the defense was about "Stopping Penetration" not causing it right Phil?
3. That's what she said. Phil Jackson has more than one that's what she had moment but the best was when he was talking to the team repeatedly telling them "we need to work on stopping easy penetration". I immediately heard this and said "that's what she said".
4. When did the magic hire Ron Jeremy as there coach? Bold move if i do say so myself.
5. Dwight Howard is HOT. He may have an abnormally small head but his Amazing Body makes up all the difference for it. BT reminded me that he is 6'11" tall and I would look like a small child next to him so I guess that dream is over.
Overall I made it through 1/2 the game. BT came in at about 10 to tell me the Lakers won and I rolled over and went back to bed. Don't worry I won't be blogging for a while about sports it will be back to crafts and girlie stuff!

Is it a requirment to have kids to be a crafter?
I'm sensing a theme around the blogs I read. Children. I think they must be mandatory to bring out the most creativity in a crafter. I read the blogs and go holy cow how did they come up with the colors and the ideas. Then it hits me they have kids! BT and I are no where near the point of kids (were at the first step marriage and that's about a gazillion years away at best). Then there is the idea of kids. BT wants them and I well I need some more pursuasion because carrying something around for 9months and beyond doesnt sound like all fun and games. Dont get me wrong kids are cute and do funny things and are a blast I'm just not there yet (so no comments about how could I not want kids).
UGH I need my creativity to return (if you have seen it please send it back to me with loving care).

Why are people so Grumpy?
Why are people's panties in a twist? This weekend I had to work doing ice cream duty. It was my first time back in 2 years things have changed and my wrist hurt from all the scooping! And Saturday I was up at 5:30 for an event. I rushed to the store got the supplies and headed out. I went to check in and then I met Her. The event coordinator from well you know where. All she could do was complain about everyone. I was the first person there so at least she couldn't complain about me being late. She complained about the sign. She complained about the set up. She continually looked at my booth as though we were a black sheep. It was Horrific! Ive come to the conclusion that sometimes you just have to deal with it. But really what is up with people today? Where does this sense of entitlement come from? Why do they continually feel they need to put people down? What happened to the golden rule? Ugh well life goes on...

What happens when you leave the girls to fend for themselves
Well last weekend it was a b-day weekend (why I'm getting to this now don't ask) and when you leave the girls to play we get creative...
Yes Vodka Water Melon. We used a Lime Vodka and it turned out delicious! Only thing is you need to have about 2 days of time to even let the stuff soak in. I didn't have time so after we let it set for a few hours we cut it up and sprinkled more adult beverage over the top!
On a side note we watched a video on how to do this...it was hilarious 2 boys with "background music".

Working My Fingers to the Bones
Well this is a first in my book. I haven't had time to Craft. I'm in the middle of Fiscal Close (which is stressful as Hell), The Creamery is going wild with catering, and I haven't been getting home till after 7pm. Whats next no more crafting period?!?!?!
All I want is a few hours. And this weekend I doubt I'll have time. Friday I'm making ice cream and doing a 50 person b-day party. Saturday I'm waking up early (like I don't do that every day) to participate in Farmers Market with the Creamery. Sunday I'm celebrating a friends bday and were going to this place where its filled with trampolines (Yes im excited!).
Its not exactly fun and games but I do eat all the ice cream I want when I do this stuff. May not be the best for my booty but it still taste good!

Drum Roll Please...
First I would like to thank each and every person who left comments. 85 Comments in all I was ecstatic and BT was a little jealous. I officially have a new play list thanks to all your comments. This has opened my eyes to the world of music and I have to say some of the choices took me back WAY back! For one AQUA I love this band (note the present tense). All the country was great as well (I work in AG land). And all the new bands I've never heard of! Im so excited to listen to this play list today at work! This was a tough tough decision on both my part and BT who picked 2nd place. So here we go...
