Shout out for Chalkydoodles

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

A friend from high school started her own business where she combined her craftiness with a smart little invention of sorts. It is called Chalkydoodles.

This weekend, she is launching her new site, blog and product expansion. She received love from Target this summer when they featured her product in online summer must-haves. Pretty awesome!
Anyway, she [...]

Bloody Mary

Friday, January 29th, 2010

This is my favorite drink. It is a Bloody Mary. The beauty of this drink is it can be drunk at any point during the day AND it is at least one serving of vegetables, if not two. Really it’s health food.
That being said, I am picky about my Bloody Mary. It can not be [...]

The Thursday Rant!

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Lately, it has become either worse or I am just now noticing the commercials on television more. Why are they so violent? We aren’t huge t.v. watchers around here, well, I am not and we limit Missy Mack’s viewing.  Mr. Mack, however, has it on ALL the time. He needs the background noise or something. [...]

The State of the Union

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

I love the nights when The State of the Union takes place.
I know, I know, most people hate it. They hate when their regularly scheduled programs are interupted. They hate it because a democrat is in office and they are republican. Or two years ago it was the other way around. They hate the boringness [...]

A Happy Bloggy Award

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

My sweet friend, Momma to the As, gave me a blog award. I could use a little happy in my life.  Last week I had a downer week and this week Mr. Mack is having a downer week so there are a lot of long faces around here.  The problem is, I can’t follow all [...]

The Thursday Rant!

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

What a week I have had or really the entire Mack Family. I wish that when it comes to an end tomorrow it would take all it left behind but I don’t think that will be the case.
Here is what I will rant about today.
Backstabbers.
I hate them. How do some people end up like this? [...]

Do You Ever Wonder What People Were Thinking?

A Christmas Card we received .

Dollar Store Christmas

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Each year Mr. Mack’s family Christmas is so interesting and it has become a bit of a joke around here about how we have to just open presents right over the donation box because the gifts really aren’t given with much thought and clearly come from the dollar store ( I know this because I [...]

Party Like A Rock Star

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

We partied like rock stars in the Mack in house this weekend. That is, according to Missy Mack. We had a surprise visit from Lizzie Mack on Friday night with the dollar store Christmas (making this Christmas #3). It was raining terribly so she stayed the night and played all day Saturday. When the Missy [...]

Sparkle VJay-Jay- What???????????-warning not for viewing at work or with children

Friday, January 15th, 2010

Mr. Mack showed me this video that someone said was the funniest thing ever on twitter. Our jaws were on the floor. I am a little confused and find myself wondering WHY? Why would you do this? Would you do this?
A Disco Ball?
Here is some Friday entertainment.

O.K. then I stupidly went to google to find [...]
