Bacon and eggs, anyone?

I took Cassie out to do some shopping this weekend for some spring and summer clothes. None of the capris, scooters, and shorts fit her from last year so we gandered out for a bit to see what we could find. We still need to pick up some more things for her but we got a pretty nice start. This trip brought back 2 scooters, a pair of capris, a dress, some tops, and a really cute pair of beaded flip flops. We were strolling through super Target (LOVE Super Target!) when I strolled down a main aisle by the women's accessories. The cutest tote bag caught my eye and was screaming "buy me". I love tote bags and purses, isn't this one great?! It's so fun! 2 eggs for his eyes and a nice stripe of bacon for his mouth. Super cute bag. I couldn't pass that one up :). Joshua's birthday is May 2nd so we did a bit of birthday shopping for him too. Mike's birthday is the 16th of this month so I'll be doing some shopping for that this week. I did some more finishing for Celeste at the stitching shop. I plan to deliver her order to her tomorrow, so as soon as she gives me my check I'll head out to do Mike's b-day shopping. Here's what I finished for her this time. It's part of the Twelve Days of Christmas series from The Sweetheart Tree. I finished the first six for her, the 2nd half still need to be stitched. I love the pieces stitched but doubt I'd ever stitch them. I like designs from the Sweetheart Tree, but don't care a whole lot for all the back stitching that most of the charts call for. They're really pretty but back stitching is not my friend! LOL! I think they turned out really well. I'm glad this half is done. Off I go downtown tomorrow to deliver them.

It's been a cold, wet, dreary day here. I'm looking forward to the warmer days. We have had several but the cold seems to want to keep coming back. It has to be going some time soon. The grass is green again, the daffodils are in bloom, and I see lots of leaves on the trees. I'm really happy about that, my forest has been looking rather naked for months. I like the warmer nights. We like going out on the deck and watching the bats fly by.

Last Tuesday I was out and about early so decided to stop off at the video store to rent some movies. Alvin and the Chipmunks was released on DVD that day and the kids really wanted to see it. I knew if I waited until the weekend to rent it, they'd be all gone. While I was there I also picked up Enchanted. I'd been wanting to see it for a while. Really great movies! Amy Adams did a fantastic job in that movies. I really liked it and am sure we'll be buying that one. As I was browsing around at all the new releases, I stumbled upon a section where there were several people snapping up the new Johnny Depp movie. You know, Sweeney Todd. I didn't know one thing about that movies except there were a ton of people there to rent it and it had Johnny Depp in it. There were only a couple left so I figured it must be good and I got it. Big mistake! For me anyways! That was one disturbing flick! I don't recommend this movie if disgusting things turn your stomach into something horrid. Or if watching bad things before bed will keep you tossing and turning all night (like me!). But, who knew? It's Johnny Depp! I've definitely learned a lesson here. You better believe from now on I'll be sure to read the backs of the movie cases before I rent them. I didn't notice the very small subtitle until I put the DVD back in the case to take it back. All I saw on the cover was Sweeney Todd. Somehow I missed : The Demon barber of Fleet Street. At first I thought it was a musical of sorts with all the singing and what not. I've seen more throat slashings than I'd care too and it'll probably be a cold day in hell before I eat any kind of pot pie again....Uggghhhh. If you watch this movie, don't say I didn't warn you. What a bad bad movie choice I made. I'm ashamed at myself for even picking it up...lol.
