Old Pictures

I found some funny old pictures of me and Ben (and a few others) playing with our Mac laptop when we very first got it 4 years or so ago. Hehe.

Ricky Gervais Rockin' Sesame Street

I love it! I have no idea how he can not laugh through his skits!

4th of July or BUST!!

....ok it was a bust. I had a fun filled weekend planned only to have my back go out again and have to miss out on all the fun. :(
I made these awesome cupcakes for MJ's famous 3rd of July BBQ and Fireworks Celebration! I was all ready to go and then my back went out so I was very disappointed. I made Red Velvet Cupcakes with cream cheese frosting with blueberries and strawberries to accent the season!

They did end up being quite tasty at least. I shared them with the local fam.
On Saturday I was going to do the Centerville and Sandy parades with my band. I was actually looking forward to doing the Centerville one since it is my home town and I have never done it before so I was really disappointed for that too. Well, anyway. Hopefully next year I will have a bit better luck. I hope everyone had a great 4th of July!

"Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"

This made me giggle. :D

Vrrrrroooooommmmm! Part Deux

Before reading on, see my previous post about my new Hoover Platinum Bagged Vacuum!

So I just finished vacuuming the entire house!
These vacuums are amazing. It is awesome!

The Upright:
The vacuum is lightweight and so easy to use. You can just feel the power when you vacuum.
It can suck up stuff along the edges of walls using either the sides or the front surprisingly! There was a toothpick right against the wall in the crevice and I tried to get it using the vacuum straight on and it sucked it right up!
It has 2 settings: High and Low, so it works well on both carpet (High) and bare floors (Low).
It has a super long cord so I only have to plug it in 2 different places to vacuum my 3 level house! Way cool!
The bags inside are huge! So you don't have to replace them very often.
I really love my vacuum.

Tha Canister Vacuum (aka: my baby canivac)
I was super surprised by how much power this little canister vacuum had!
It was so easy to use I don't know how I ever got along without one!
It has a shoulder strap so you can carry it with you as you use it (A++++). Genius!
The canister holds the tools so it is easy and convenient to change.
The canister cord is a bit shorter so that is the only thing I would change about this vacuum.
It is definitely a bug family destroyer. I love it especially for that reason (no lugging out the big vacuum to kill a little spider.)
This is especially amazing for stairs and bathrooms where you can't get behind objects with a bigger vacuum.

Anyway. Highly Recommended!!
They look pretty cool too. :D

Vrrooooommmm!!!!

Somebody got a shiny new vacuum for her birthday! Vrrrroooooommm!
Thanks to all who pitched in!
I spent countless hours (ok maybe just a few) researching which vacuum would be perfect for me and I think I found it! I got the Hoover Platinum vacuum. As you can see from the picture it comes with an upright vacuum AND a canister vac! I have mucho stairs in my home and this is going to save me a lot of trouble.
I stole my sister-in-law's vacuum when they moved to Texas and on Friday I happened to accidentally suck something up with the hose that apparently shouldn't have been sucked up. Oopsies. So long story short it lost suction and 'my' vacuum no longer sucks.....well actually it does.....but not really. You get my picture.
I will let you know how it goes. :D
Stay Tuned!

TROGDOR!!
