Painting for fun....Decorating Too!





So recently I get so bored on my days off work that I have been trying to find inexpensive things for me to do.

So bought these canvas things from Robert's and well I went a little crazy with them... I have officially painted each of these little canvas things three times. First they were brown and green, then they were just blue-ish with a marble look. And now they are this:
I believe I like them like this. So I have them up in my bedroom where I have this cool pottery barn duvet cover that is bright and colorful like this painting is...

The best part.... Stephen thought I bought them!!! I may be able to find a new profession... Not only would we be poor starving married students, but we would be poor starving artist students. But you know it could always be worse :)

the WORST daily question ever!

So lately I have been struggling with every wife's, mother's, or hungry person's daily question...

(don, don, don)

The question that haunts my days, the one that even when you ask it to people that live with you they respond with an "I don't know?", which leaves you still trying to find an answer to this horrible, never leaving the presence of my life, question...

When this simple question is given a response, and there somehow happens to an edible answer, even if it is "Meatloaf", will make the person living with this daily question SO HAPPY!!!

So the question I ask is, "WHAT'S FOR DINNER?"

Everyday I eat and I am a bit of a picky eater but in the end I will make whatever I am told and will eat whatever I make. But I am fresh out of ideas, fresh out of simple yet satisfying meals to make.

So I ask my few and mostly family member readers to answer this question for me... Please try not to give me a meal that will take more than 45 minutes to an hour to prepare and make, please try to keep Stephen and I from getting fat, and please keep in mind that I am simple and when I see large words in a recipe like "worchestire" I run....

I thank everyone who comments or calls or even gets a kick about this life's question. I thank Rachel Ray and Martha for making a meal look so easy but its not the making part, it's the deciding what to make part that is so very difficult...
