A picture and a thought

I saw this ad last week and I liked it.

In other news: today I went to the supply depot for people that sell large quantities of things. As I was loading my trunk a man pulled up behind a van behind me. He storms out of his car (leaving his passenger to close the door) and rushes to the driver's window of the van. He then starts a barrage of comments that included, "Do you have a green card?" "You cut me off, you cut me off!" "You need to learn some manners you b*%&#". That last statement is what got me. Here he is screaming like a lunatic - leaving his car in the middle of a parking lot with the door open, but the woman in the van needed to learn some manners. Stuff that makes the world go round right there :-)

Review: Simple Truth Organic Thin & Crispy Vegan Crust & Pizza Sauce

We were sent samples of Simple Truth Organic Thin & Crispy Vegan Pizza Crust & Pizza Sauce. We rounded out our samples with Kroger Pizza Blend Cheese, Kroger Pepperoni and Kroger Bella Mushrooms. What can I say - we're a Kroger loving family! My little helper loved spreading the sauce and then all the ingredients. I'm not sure all the cheese made it on the pizzas! Overall, this was good, but I'm not sure we'll purchase the crust again. The "vegan" part didn't affect the taste as far as I could tell. I LOVED that the crust was crispy (like a cracker almost), but where the toppings were it was a wee bit softer. The texture was a+. I felt like the crust had zero taste. I did, however, enjoy the taste of the sauce. I don't like my pizza sauce overly spicy or sweet and this one fit the bill - this we will purchase again. Can’t top the great taste of this #SimpleTruthOrganic Vegan pizza crust! #MyMagaz...

Robin's Egg Blue

What color is more vibrant, calming, and fun all mixed into one? For me, it is a bright robin's egg blue. It can be a statement color, and accent color, or whatever you want it to be. I have to give my boy the credit for finding this chest sometime last year. I apologize I didnt really get a "before" picture. The chest was painted brown. Why you would ever really paint wood brown, is beyond me. Especially this chest. It is a cedar chest, smells wonderful and has beautiful, rich natural wood. I sanded this one down, because I wanted to salvage the beauty. However, even then, the brown paint remained in the carvings on the front and in the grooves of the legs. I would have saved that beautiful wood too, but you already know I did not. Why did I not, you may ask? (Especially when I keep going on and on and on about the wood...) Because of this. The top. Sigh . The pictures dont really do it justice, but there are grooves going opposite the grain, making it look scratched. ...
