The Longest Week

While it's been a long week (really? it's still only Thursday!?!), I've been working hard on concentrating on the many good things that have happened and have made me such a happy girl (you know, to counterbalance my over-crazed stress levels due to work and settling in at the house which seem to be at the same level of frequency of my hormones somehow).  Phew.  Breathe, Jackie!

Here are a few of the things that are currently keeping me sane:

1.) Finishing up my dressing room and LOVING it.  Seriously.  I've considered pulling in a mattress and sleeping in there.  It's tres gorge!

Here's a glimpse of it (full post to follow):

2.) Finding a trio of mismatched glass semi-apothecary jars to house my candies.  Inspiration from a variety of beautiful pictures on the web:

1. 2.

Can't wait to fill them with these, these & these.

3.) S getting back from TN.  

4.) Cooking our first meal together in the house.  Used this one from The Pioneer Woman Cooks.  (edit: I've made this recipe twice more since this post and it's still amazing.  S describes it as "fancy Hamburger Helper.")

5.) This image.  Man, I want to do this for my Easter party on Sunday.

6.) Which led me to this, which I also want to do.

Ok, ok.  That might be a bit much.  Especially when the instructions begin with: "Decapitate 6 Peeps...".
