My brother went home to my parents a week or two ago. I should probably take a picture of EVERYTHING my mother sends back...maybe next time. She always sends SO much! We are in SUCH need of a deep freezer! She cooks and ton and freezes things and sends it to us! She also picks up little fun things for us all the time! She is the greatest. Sadly, we won't be able to see her ON Mother's Day because we will be in route to Mexico. However, we will be able to see her Friday & Saturday :)
I really think there should be more than just one day to honor mommies..what about a week? or a month? I'm not just sucking up, but really. Think about it. They teach you all the basics in life...how to feed yourself, wipe yourself, talk, love, manners, tie your shoes...and so on! They do most things for you up until you think you have grown up... at the age of 13. They watch you turn into a teenager but still tote you around. At 16, you begin to drive. They are thankful...for a bit. Then, they wish they were still driving you around. Then, 18 comes around and you move out. They are glad at first. However, I have a sneaky suspicion they miss you soon there after...well maybe a year after? haha
These are two things I REALLY loved that my mom sent to me recently...(do take note, my husband thinks my mom has a shopping problem and I think he is starting to keep a close eye on me, haha) She gets me some great things though!)
I ate these all as soon as I opened the box. I was craving sweets! They are pretzels with Rolos and nuts on them. These are the directions she included to make them.
She used smaller thicker pretzels.
Heat oven to 375.
Put Rolos on pretzels and heat for 4-5 minutes.
Once out of oven, take a whole or chopped pecan and press onto Rolo softly.
THAT'S it! Simple huh? They are SO YUM! I love pretzels, caramel and chocolate.
How cute is this? It looks like a little pink planner, right?
Nope! It's a tool set. A girly tool set. For me. To use inside the house :)
In other news....
IT HAS GOT TO STOP DOING THIS........!!!!!!!!!!!

I think we are on like day 6 of rain? I'm SO sick of it!! I like rain. I think it is nice and cozy if I can sit at home and watch movies. It is not pleasant if I have to drive around (work) in it all day. I feel wet and cold non-stop, haha. My hair has been in a pony tail. My feet have been wet and it is just chilly and gloomy and well, boo! Perhaps it is preparing me to really "soak" in the beach and its beautifulness.
Today I jumped on the Twilight book bandwagon! We are going to Mexico with a group of 8. Five girls and three guys are going. I believe several of the girls will be reading and re-reading these. So, today I bought the first two to take with me. I guess you could say I cheated and watched the movie first. I liked it but I am so excited for the book because I've heard a lot of people say it is better!


Have you all read the books? I hear the first and the last are the best! What do you think? What about the movie...opinions??
Does anyone know if you can overdose on this?

My nurse said to take extra this week to prepare my immune system to fight Mr.Swine if he runs into me. I've been taking lots of chewables.
***Question... Is my blog taking a long time to load ? I just tried to look at it and it took forever!! I'm wondering if it is all the pics or the new background.. input?
HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!! :) We probably would have done something fun but the rain has been coming down so hard!! After the gym, me hubby and brother went to dinner at the Brook the came home!
Well, that is all I have. I'm so tired. Have I mentioned I joined a gym? Yes, yes I did. I for sure have been sleeping better! Perhaps this is a post coming soon. Hope you all are having a fab week!!!

Mexico is going to be a blast! My parents just got back from there, and they are completely fine. (No swine flu!)
Oh and those pretzels look amazing, I would have eaten every last one of them ;)
I just love that cute tool set!! ;) and i think i may try that recipe!! =)
Your blog didn't take too long to load on my computer...only about 5 seconds.
Those pretzels look yummy! I've made them with hershey hugs and m&ms...but now I want to try your version :)
Ohh Twilight.... I've read the series once and just started it again. Twilight is awesome but be warned that New Moon is somewhat painfully long... but I can't tell you any more details than that!
I have so many comments I don't know where to begin!
1)the paragraph about moms made me freak out a little... thinking about molly growing up so fast, because we all know they do :(
2)pretzel things look super yum and so easy! that's awesome
3)I can't tell you how freaking sick I am of the rain! GEESH!
4)I read the first book and it was AWESOME. SO GOOD. I can't bring myself to buy the second book because i know my sister has it and I keep meaning to borrow it. and I didnt' watch the movie but only because fellow readers told me not to waste my time or money! :) so if you liked the movie i bet you will LOVE the book.
5) I use google reader so I don't know if it takes a long time to load.
Have a good day! see you soon!!!
Oh my, you have got to love moms right???? And I LOVE that tool set, that can make a woman proud :) And I'm sooooo jealous about Mexico and praying you will enjoy the trip and stay healthy. And yes Twilight is awesome, on the third book..... and I definitely would have to say the books are better than the movie. They always usually seem to be!! :)
youre going to LOVE the books, a perfect beach read! Enjoy!
ohhh! Mexico! I need details- we are trying to plan our honeymoon! You can email me when you get a chance-pretty please!
BTW, my mom is the SAME way, everytime I go home I come back with the car LOADED full of stuff she has 'just picked up' for me. gotta love them!

6. I have a pink tool set too! I love getting it out for Ty to use. haha!
This was a really long comment. Maybe I should have just e-mailed...oh well!
Vitamin C overdose--it is water soluble so if you take more than your body can absorb you pee it out...so it is just wasted!!
way to go on joining the gym!! i love mine!! I haven't been since before the surgery and I'm suffering serious withdrawals. And it definitely makes you feel a ton better. Let me know how you like Twilight. I'm not as big a fan as most... that's all I'll say!
