dinner out

Ok, the weather here is unbelievable.  I'm thankful it is actually September 1st today, because I think I would be totally discombobulated if it was still August with 58 degrees and cold rain and wind.  Wow, it is crazy out there. 

Despite the rain, we got a babysitter and went out with our friends (they don't have children YET) to PF Changs which opened up a couple miles from our house.  YUMMY!!  We got the lettuce wraps and I got the orange peel chicken.  Seriously, fattening and totally not on my diet.  Oh well.  I also got an ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE!!  I say that for my DH's benefit as I never drink - so this was quite the event.  The drink was almost as much as the dinner - $7.95!!  It was very yummy (also extremely calorie-laden) and got me totally buzzed.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not against drinking (haha - ask any of my friends from college), but since I've had kids I just hate having any kind of hangover, etc in the morning because the days are long and hard already.  The last thing I need is something else making me feel like crap all day AND having to referree my boys!!

I did a layout with Dani Mogstad's and Shawna Clingerman's new collab kit - Carpe Diem.  Great stuff!!  Check out their new site. Also, Shawna gave us her new kit to play with - Techno Grunge.  It is so awesome - i love that it is really unique.  Doesn't hurt that I had the PERFECT pictures to use with it.   To see additional credits or to leave some love - check out the DST gallery link on the right sidebar---->

Okay, so I made those "flowers" on the layout.  Hopefully, that binder clip flower doesn't look totally stupid.  I kind of thought it went with the whole "be original" theme of the layout.  I typically don't put flowers on my layouts with my boys, but I thought this was kind of cute.??..?

I'm still going to answer Tania's tag - however DH is calling me to watch this movie with him.  Ugh.  He says it is going to be inspirational and lift my spirits.  I am, however, in a very shallow mood tonite and would be just as happy to watch my old Alias episodes on DVD......Oh well, the price of love.....
