Because I'm Cool Like That

Imagine my surprise when I noticed at 8:00 pm that my shoes didn't match. I know I came home after work and slipped them off under my desk while checking emails. I quickly slipped my shoes on without looking to run an errand, and when I looked down I laughed out loud at myself. I hope think that I had my other pair of shoes down there too and I just mixed the two up.

Thank You {Jerk}

There's nothing like procrastination right?! I love the thrill of working on projects at the last minute because I push my creativity to the max. Tonight I got to work on 3 projects I need to have ready to present tomorrow at work. After a few hours in Photoshop I go to print the final product and of course my printer was out of ink. Don't worry, I was prepared and purchased some ink last week knowing I was going to need it soon. I rip open the box...

...and find the following!

What?! Are you freaking kidding me?! Thank you to the JERK who apparently purchased these ink cartridges, used them, put them back in the wrappers, hot glued the box back together, and returned them! You have ruined my night! Now if I take them back to Walmart {yes, I am saying exactly where I bought them} they probably won't believe me because I bought them last week and I don't have the receipt. Who does that?!

Really Trader Joe's?! As if I need another sinful addiction {although Dr. Pepper isn't sinful, it's just an addiction}! I really heart these yummy treats!

Turkey Pesto Meatballs

These meatballs are so super yummy! We love the flavor and the fact that you can freeze what you don't use!

2 lbs ground turkey

1 1/2 cups bread crumbs

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1 {small} jar Classico Basil Pesto

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 eggs

Mix everything in a bowl and combine well {gloves are optional}. Roll mixture into about 1 inch balls. I use a cookie scoop to make them all the same size. Put them on a cooling rack on top of a foil lined cookie sheet sprayed with a little cooking spray. Bake the meatballs at 375 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. Serve over noodles with spaghetti sauce.

Service

I decided to do a little service in the month of February. You know...spread some "love" {haha}. I used Craft Hope's latest project, which is birthing kits for Haiti. I roped in a few friends to help and altogether we made 6 bags. It was fun to get together and chit chat and do something for a good cause. Thank you Angie and Molly!

For each kit we had to make a bag {we used this pattern} to hold the following items {which were sealed in a gallon baggie}

1 small bar of soap
1 packet alcohol wipe
1 packet Purelle
1 pair of clean latex gloves
1 square yard of clear sheeting
3 pieces of clean string each 12″ long
flannelette/cotton receiving blanket 1 square yard

Here are their bags that they made! Molly's is on the left, Angie's is on the right!

Here are the bags I made. I made one to show them, one with them, then I decided at the last minute to make 2 more since we had enough for 6 kits.

I am grateful for the opportunity to serve and the means to do so. It helps to have friends who feel the same way too! It does my heart good!
