Finally!

Our landlord came today and replaced our AC unit in the living room! It's brand new and it even has a remote! Awesome! It's been so incredibly stuffy and hot in the apartment for the last week. It now feels like a freezer, but I have to say that I love it! Bring on the summer weather, baby! We're ready for it!

Re-(or Free-)cycled Mason jars

I'm trying to locate some used/cheap Mason jars for the wedding and I'm not really sure where I should look for the best results? I was trying to look on freecycle.org, but I guess you have to be a member and I don't feel like signing up for it right now, so I'm going to ask my Mom if she can search that for me this weekend. But other than craigslist (which yielded no results in my area), I don't know where to check next. Any suggestions? TIA!

Neat finds on Pinterest

I've been seeing some really cool pictures on Pinterest lately, but i have to say that some of the most amazing ones are different nail-painting techniques/looks. Some of the things that people can do with their nails/nail polish is just amazing to me!

Like this marbling effect. That's just crazy. Who thinks of this stuff? It looks super cool, though.

But my favorite technique/look that I've seen so far would have to be this one:

This is just so awesome! I love it and wish that I had the patience to do this on my nails!

Success!

Last night I was finally able to do a decent French braid (at least, I think it's a French braid)! I've never been able to figure out how to do it and I watched someone else do one the other day and I kinda mimicked what I saw her do and I think I did it! At least, it's good enough for me!

My hair is too fine for regular braids. It just falls right out. So hopefully this French braid thing helps me keep it braided so I can continue to grow it out. :)

It's (technically) Friday!

Now I just have to get through work and it's the weekend! I've been trying to get all of the addresses together to send out our Save-the-Dates, but that's proving to be a challenge. I still need to get almost everyone from my Dad's side of the family still. I just hope that we have enough of the Save-the-Dates to send to all of our out-of-town/state guests!

It's May already

I was walking around Walmart yesterday on my break when I realized "Hey, it's April 30th...that means tomorrow is May 1st and we have the bulletin board at work for May...Oh crap!" Thankfully I already had an idea of what we could do, but I still had to run it past the infant teacher and we had to get started. Thankfully the "footprint butterflies" have turned out to be easier to do than anticipated, so that's fortunate.

They look kinda like this but some are just 1 solid color instead of 2 and they just have a circle at the top with the antenna coming out instead of a "body". But overall, they are super cute and I'm so glad that we were able to get most of them up on time!

I painted the "title" up yesterday. It reads "Fluttering into May". And all I have to do is paint "Infants & Wobblers" and then put the names of the kids under their "footerflies" (just made that up because it was easier than typing it out). So glad we only have to do the bulletin board 3 times a year! Whew!
