Anyone else takin' it easy today?

I am.

For those of you that are Facebook friends, you saw how my Wednesday went.

Yea, not so good.

I was ready for Friday 2 days ago.

Let's just say my car still smells like blueberry smoothie, only spoiled.

YUM, no?

But today is going to be a good day...

Oldest has basketball awards today from this week's bb camp.

So i get to be on campus where i took a few (ahem) courses which is kind of cool.

OK REALLY cool since all i ever hear is how great Dad's school is. LOL.

And we have happy hour in this house today precisely at 5. 

No dilly dally.

Mommy needs a mojito....or 4...who's going to count?

don't judge. 

as i said, rough week.

And because mommy also needs a break from the kitchen...i pulled out a ham that the man so graciously cooked on the egg and froze a few weeks back 

knowing there would be a day soon when i was scream 

NO MAS 

to being in the kitchen

when the pretty weather is of course, 

outside of the kitchen.

So we're turning that ham into sliders from Pinterest.  

Really, I keep saying I love my cookbooks, 

but i haven't really done anything from them in a long time - 

I go to Pinterest for all my recipes. Sad.

And I know one day my laptop is going to get fried sitting on the counter

while i cook.  

But i did see this the other day in Lowes.

Is this not the bomb or what? 

 Well, that definitely is ONE thing that might make me

stay in the kitchen.
