Stand By Me*
The other day I thought I’d try and impress Big Dad with a couple of my favourite Flash Mob videos online. He got a good laugh and enjoyed what I showed him… …then he totally one-upped me with a video that I’ve since watched about 10 times. When Big Dad comes to play he brings out the big guns. Check out my new favourite video: Stand by Me – Street Performers* Happy Easter!! :)

Fabulous Finds: The Dresser*
I love Saturdays in the spring and summer. Wanna know why? YARD SALING. This morning Mom, Spart and I got up (not-so) early and braved a cold, rainy morning to go on our first yard sale adventure of 2011. We piled into the car and headed out with our list.

My mom found a cute clock for 50 cents, and Spart found a great little DVD/CD shelf for $5. And then I saw this: I loved it…

During dinner we began talking about some of our individual plan for our respective lawns and were asking Teep for some advice. He has worked as a landscaper in the past and is a bit of a “Garden Guru”. Doodle, Mom and I were all wondering about costs and needs to…

An Un-Thrifty Thursday*
Hi dears, I’ve decided not to do a Thrifty Thursday post this week. It has been a crazy few days… As you know, I wrapped up my course on Monday. The last three days have been a whirlwind of packing, organizing and work. Our little apartment is slowly being devoured by boxes, but it still feels like there is so much to do. I didn’t get any time to go shopping this week, and most of my purchases from earlier weeks are all packed away in boxes, which leaves this particular Thursday decidedly un-thrifty. Sorry, loves. As it is, I’m also up in B-town with my family for Easter. I…

The final marks are in…
After four long, grueling months of readings, assignments, stress and work, my course (Communications: Autism) is finished and I just received my final marks and feedback.
