fire-safe candles...

A couple weeks ago my mom turned another year older. We work for the same company and are in the same office so I wanted to bring in treats for our section of the office to share to celebrate (she is my best friend, she is the woman and mom I hope to be). I made her carrot cake cupcakes and since we work in an office...candles tend to be frowned upon. So, I decided to make my own office friendly version.

I started with a sheet of candle design scrap booking paper I bought at Michael's. It was .39 on sale, and two different colors of card stock on sale for .49.

I then cut out all the candle shapes.


I then glued the candle shapes on to card stock. Then I attached them with tape to toothpicks.


Voila! Office friendly birthday candles! The whole project (minus the baking/frosting took me about 25-30 minutes)

friday!

I have about 6 different term papers to write, a fifty page journal to complete, research to start on policies for a volunteer position I am in, internship resumes to fill out, basic homework, GRE[graduate record exams...it's a placement test for grad programs] studying to do, a writing portfolio to complete, and a pile of laundry waiting for me...but dang it! I am going out; it's FRIDAY after all! My HW will have to wait till tomorrow afternoon :)

ENJOY THE NIGHT EVERYONE!!

ps: my DBF is playing in his band tonight and I am collecting the cover with my GF (guys tend to give extra when girls are collecting the cover) sooo the bar gives us free drinks. Can't beat FREE drinks and food :)

shopping trip

Tonight after work I ran to Safeway to cherry pick a few deal scenarios I had come up with...
I got all of this:

for $5.31 (oop) !

I have HW I need to start on (even though it is my SPRING BREAK) so I won't list all the details. But I just combined their promotion of buy ten selected items get $5 off your total with coupons. I am happy with this for multiple reasons. M. and I LOOOOVE peach cups, we are really trying to eat healthier and control portion sizes (mainly M. on this one, he was raised to always clear his plate. I was raised to finish when I was full). Fruit cups are ridiculously expensive when there isn't a good sale. I ended up getting 11 of them for 1.75! and the pasta-roni and rice-a-roni are usually $1 a piece here and re fried beans run about .90 a can. so it was a good trip. Before coupons/sales/promotions the total was $43.72.

juice galore

On Tuesday, I read about a deal from Safeway where an old sale was overlapping with a new one (by chance or by purpose, who knows!) which allowed me to get EIGHT bottles of OceanSpray juice and TWO packages of Capri Suns for...$6.00!!


(please forgive my curtains...they need to be steamed. which probably won't happen until finals are over. lol)
