someone stop it from spinning!

The heavens have decided that for the past month my life was seeming a bit "together". The tailspin has been set in motion and it has been doing just that for the past almost two weeks. One hit after another and the divide between sanity and insanity at this point in time is a little bit...there. I reach out my hand and run my fingers along it and feel the pull, to nothingness, to what I think will be peace...

But instead I go out on a girls night...

I met my two lovely friends at Barrio, which is downtown, my third friend was sick so we had the chance to invite another wonderful woman whom I hadn't seen in a long time.

After it taking me about 20 minutes to find parking, I sat down for a drink and emptied my first plate very quickly. It even took two forks to do so.


Why 20 minutes you ask? Because I am Heather, and nothing is easy for me. The parking right behind Barrio was cash only, the street meters were only 1/2 to 2 hour meters and the second lot credit card reader was broke and finally the lot I came too was a block away. Nothing is simple for me...

Bacon wrapped dates. Divine. Scrumptious. A must have when visiting this place. If you go here and don't get them...sorry, your just stupid.


Yes, we ate them before I could take the photo...

Before I could finish my margarita, sangria was served.


mmmm carmalized provolone. Did I mention that Barrio was a tapas bar?


And the poor guy that had to put up with us was Brett. Or was it Brent? I am pretty sure it was Brett. again...poor guy...


Not only were we a bunch of girls, but at one point we had our phones out taking pictures of everything and laughing hysterically. Mine didn't come out so great, I was facing the huge window...

The last item up was the pork. Spicy, but dry. Sorry Barrio but it is true...


ok, so it wasn't the last item up. Check out the dessert menu and guess what we got.


of course, we picked the most fun sounding thing on the menu. And it didn't hurt that it came with jeni's ice cream.


What a perfect way to end a meal. We wanted to lick the plate, but refrained. Although I did say I forgot something, headed back to the table and licked it clean on my own. I just growled at the people that looked at me funny. I am sure that went over well and the straight jacket people are now looking for me.

Nothing like a girls night to pull you back to sanity. I will need one again tomorrow night.

By the way, Barrio doesn't know me and I am not affiliated with them. So this isn't an official review, just my opinion. But since I am queen bee, it is better than an official review.

The big hairy spider went for a ride

I walk out to my car today after class, get in, throw my stuff in the seat next to me and pick up the phone to call Rick so he knows I am on my way home. That is when it happens. I see a slight movement out of the corner of my eye, and there it sits, a large hairy spider, just staring at me. Me, being the arachnophobe, starts freaking out, looking for anything I can use to smash it. This thing is huge!! I am screaming into the phone for help and sensing that I am going to be attacked at any second. I reach down for a book that is close at hand and the spider goes into a vent in my dash. I don't know how it fit, but it slid right in there and disappeared. I began slamming the book into the line he went into and that is when the book was ripped out of my hands and thrown to the back of the car. The spider slowly came out from the vent, got into my purse and came out with paper and a pen. I think this spider must have escaped from a lab or something because it then proceeded to wr...

the color yellow

I LOVE the color yellow. It is sunshine, happiness, bright, and fun. For the past couple of weeks I have been updating my kitchen. Painting the cabinets and walls and re-doing the counter tops. The color scheme I picked is yellow, black and cream. Today was the day I finally got to paint the walls with the "applesauce" color I picked. YEE..OWZA. I have never put a color on my walls that made me doubt my sense of design and decision making in my home. This color is doing that to me. I love yellow, but is it right for my walls? I am unsure. I need to place the second coat on and live with it. Beginning to think I should have picked a very light warm grey color instead. Yellow is definitely Yellow...

The perpetual life of the unfinished project

My husband and I have not learned the most important message of "finish one project before you begin another." I have mentioned before that our house was not built the best, or even to code. So when we take on a project, we actually end up doubling the normal time it would take because we are fixing everything that we noticed wrong that needs redone. I don't know why we can't finish a project, I do know that Rick and I are easily distracted, or torn from something we are working on quit frequently...they come in three's. Let me take you on a little tour: This is our pantry door. The door was replaced, but the trim hasn't made it back up around the door. It has been like this for about 3 years. (notice the holes in the wall? the huge one was from Krischan hanging on the coat hook that was there and ripping it out of the wall. The other holes are from me removing the other coat hooks in wanting to move them to another wall, which has not been done as of yet....
