Angry Cats, New Pretties, and other Amy's Antics for the day

So... my day started off with a LARGE to-do list. I am a list maker, from a long and proud line of list makers. As a matter of fact, my
list obsession mandates that I must have a special book just for our daily list. The
book is also known, in our family, as “The Brain” because it takes over “remembering”
all the things that I would forget OR mix up times on etc. On any given day the list may include; my household task, kid’s schedules, grocery list, things to remember to do before
tkd school opens, errands to run and so on and so on…..

I even tuck schedules and upcoming appointment cards, and
to-be-signed and returned things inside) The Brain even has a “roll over" feature.
Meaning... if I don’t get it done today, I “roll it over” and write it down at the
top of the next days list… lol

And today on the list, in BIG, BOLD letters, circled THREE
times, it stated, “DON’T FORGET TO TAKE MOM HER CATS!!!” Mom, needing to take both her cats to the vet today during her lunch hour, had asked if I would please bring them to her so
she wouldn’t lose any time in getting them there. This meant that from the time the kids went to school until time to fetch the cats I didn’t accomplish A THING because I was so worried about
forgetting to go get them… I checked the clock every 15 minutes it seemed, afraid to get involved in any project too
deeply because that never fails to suck me in and make me abandon all schedules.
Did I mention these are outside cats? I was afraid I would get there and would
not be able to find Mr. Bill, the gigolo the wanderer
(and after this trip to the vet, that shall not be a problem any longer!) Anyway, so I left early in case I had any trouble finding the felines but there they were, waiting right on the patio for
me, like good kitty babies!

This is Bill. Normally the Lover of the duo, (also the reason he is going to the vet) he YELLED at me all the way to town, which made for an interesting ride.

*I think maybe this blog should be sponsored by an animal welfare group, I am like the Bob Barker of blogging, I think!!*

My sweet Mommy DID gift me with these when I dropped off her cats…

Isn’t she a doll??

And another random thought I had today and snapped a pic of (well… not of the actual THOUGHT but of what inspi…. ya know what?? You get it don’t you?)

Every busy mom
needs one of these! A reusable to-go cup! As I spend lots of time running the
roads, I was Queen of, “I have to stop and get something to drink.” Well! Not
anymore! I am also a Crushed Ice Junkie,
regardless of what I am drinking crushed ice just makes it better and for those
of you who don’t know *drum roll please* YOU CAN BUY BAGS OF SONIC ICE
FROM SONIC!!!! (at most locations) How awesome is that?? LOVE! I will
literally save almost $10 a week because of this cup!! Ok, so obviously I am
impressed by the most simple of things…. AnyWho… moving on……

Having finally made the feline delivery I did eventually get
a few things done. For instance, I made THIS:

This cute guy has been hanging around my shop for over a year just waiting for me to figure out how I wanted to put him to use.... Now he is the lucky rider of this cute motorcycle diaper cake which I listed on Etsy today!
*WOOT!! My first pretty link!! I taught myself that!! GO AMY!! It's your birt..... oh sorry.... moving along....*

And for my Pinterest project of the day I made a few of
these treats for teachers…

Love how these turned out and will be sharing them with teacher's at school tomorrow!

Totally NOT of my own design! Follow this Pinterest link to a complete how-to tutorial by domesticatedlady AND the free printable labels!! Just add water bottles and tea mix!! So cute and SO SIMPLE!!

Guys… it’s been in the 70’s here in Louisiana!! Some of us
have seriously resorted to using our AC once or twice… IN JANUARY!! Generally, February is our coldest winter month; if there is going to be snow or ice it will be in February, so we will
see. But in the mean time I got tired of looking at the glass canister full of
fake snow in the center of my dining room table (looks
idiotic considering you are wearing flip
flops and a T) Sooo…… I changed it!

THERE!! That is better! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Mardi Gras season!!

Ok my friends…. Have you made anything recently?? Do you
also have to keep list to make it day to day?
Let me hear from you!!

OH! And this is Amy B. reminding YOU to help control the animal population, spay or neuter your pet! (HA! Eat your heart out BOB!!!)
