Oh Happy Day, Sister Act 2 Style

Oh Happy Day, my little lovers! It's been awhile, but I'm back. I thought since I was on vacation I would be back to my ole blogging self, but alas, that was not how it played out. Vacation went a little something like this......

• 7:00 is wake up time. I like mornings and I like coffee, plus I just don't like to sleep in anymore. What a waste of life!
• 7:15 rolls around and I think, "Gosh, I have the entire day to do whatever I want. The world is mine! What should I do? Let's make this a good one, Stacy."
• 9:00 Wouldn't want to miss Regis and Kelly.
• 10:00 Wouldn't want to miss The View.
• 11:00 Shower. The days not totally wasted.
• 12:30 I'm ready to leave and do things, but it's so sunny outside, I'm afraid my life is wasting away if I spend the day running errands or doing anything that's not getting a tan.
• 2:00 I haven't left the house yet because I can't make up my mind whether I should lay our or not.
• 4:00 I haven't left the house to do errands and I haven't laid out. But I am watching Weeds OnDemand and thinking, "This season seems dirtier."
• 4:28 Weeds is over and I think I may give it up. Not only is it dirtier, the storyline is whack and HIGHLY unbelievable.
• 4:30 I think, "But if I give up Weeds, I won't get to see Silas anymore."
• 7:00 The sun is slowly setting and my hair is getting greasy. Guess I can't go anywhere now.
• 9:15 I make a root beer float. Preferably with Diet A&W.
• 10:00 Tucked in and ready for Chelsea Lately.

All in all, I'm an idiot and really let myself down the past two weeks.

I bet you can guess what else I failed at! Farmers' Market Week! (Remember that? No? You've never read my blog before and don't plan on coming back?) Well, I wasn't a complete failure, but I sure wasn't a success. I started off strong with a deep dish cherry pie! I've never made cherry pie and to be totally honest, I don't usually enjoy the texture of a cherry. But this baby was apparently baked in heaven and turned out perfect (other than being a bit runny). The crust was probably the best part. The directions have you fold it so that it is similar to a very large crostada. The second and last item prepared in honor of Farmers' Market Week was an also never attempted, blueberry pie! This pie was quite tasty despite being runny. (I am living with my in laws this summer and I'm beginning to think that Tina, my roommate/mother in law is sabotaging me with bad cornstarch! What else could the problem be?) Soooo, yeah, in my two weeks of baking, I made two pies.

Turning that frown upside down!

I started an Etsy shop! Remember how I "think" I take "cool" pictures at the markets? Well, I did some editing and had those suckers printed! You can now purchase up to 20 different 5x7 fruit and vegetable photos from Farmers' Market Delight! Please buy! I'll never live this down if nobody buys anything! Talk to you later!

Awards Season

Very Good Husband Award goes to: Derek Edwardson!

Very Good Sister-In-Law Award goes to: Kim Edwardson!

They both ordered me one of the burlap bags, from White Apple Threads on Etsy, I talked about a few posts ago for my birthday! So thoughtful! I love them both, but am going to have to send one back because I don't really need two of almost the same exact bag. I choose to keep...... Kim's bag. Thanks sister!

Home Is Where The Heart Is

I think it was mentioned before that Derek and I don't have a home. I wrote that because it's true, we don't have a home. The team provides us with an apartment during the season and then from April-August we just kind of slum around, moving from his parents house to my parents and then we sublet for a few months. We're actually beginning to look a lot like Jenelle and her latest boyfriend Kiefer.

However, there is an ache in my bod that I fear may only go away once we buy a home and I CAN DECORATE! I usually try to spruce up whatever place we're living in, but it's so hard to constantly decorate and then pack it all up again. It's really not worth the effort, but that hasn't stopped me from picking up decorations and goodies here and there. These are some words I would like my future home to embody:

• French (that's actually my word for life, French)
• comfortable
• cottage
• chic (what does that even mean?)
• white kitchen
• burlap
• stuff that goes together, but does NOT all match
• that's it

Soooo.....while Derek selfishly asked for a fishing rod for Christmas, I unselfishly asked for things we can use in our future home. That's just the kind of gal I am. I won't show you pics of everything, but I did ask for a few 'throw' pillows and then I ordered a couple on my own from Etsy. I feel a lot of energy coming out of these things.

My favorite pillow and one of my favorite Etsy shops, Secdus.

My second favorite pillow and another favorite Etsy shop, Cottage Ruffles.

Burlap!

Love this pillow and she's raising money to adopt. Sold!

You go have a good day!
