Sun set much around here?

I am slightly obsessed with making sure I see the sunset every night. I recently took these off of my phone.

Curl with a straightener

The curls last until your next shower.  No joke.

A little of this and a pinch of that

I had a sweet tooth the other night and we all know that I only buy the basic groceries (milk, bread, eggs, malt-o-meal, and special K). However I did have some cream cheese.  (surprise on why when some of you see me for Thanksgiving).  I ended up stirring cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla together and using it as a killer pretzel dip.  AKA cream cheese frosting. 

Life changing decisions

So far this week I have made two choices that have left me in singing out loud.  The first was purchasing a scone in our coffee shop at work for $0.89.  I would like to make scones each and every Sunday.

Second-finally using the sauna at the clubhouse.  The breaking point of when each and every pore opens up is extremely relaxing.   20 minutes a day? Heck yes.

Also, Ariel I did not go straight to bed after our chat, instead I stayed up and listened to way too many Storyhill songs.  Besides "Highlight" here is another one I like.  Thanks for sharing them with me. I figured more of you would enjoy them as well :) 

Derby Visit

Last Friday at 5pm I decided to head to Kansas for the weekend to hang out.  It was a very relaxing trip filled with fishing in the morning, 4 lbs. of tuna steaks, raking, taboo, and napping.  On the way home I was thinking about how lucky I was to not get a speedy ticket with ALL of the miles I have been driving since April when I moved to Arkansas.  These thoughts soon came to an end when I saw the lights in my rear view mirror and realized I was being pulled over.  The cop clocked me at 20 miles over the speed limit but only gave me a ticket for 9 over which came to a whopping $80.00.  It could have been a LOT worse.  Looks like I will be taking my time on the way home to Minny next week :) 

Derrick has a CD in his truck that is track after track of guys using their duck calls.  Here is a glimpse (if you close your eyes you would think you were in the middle of a gathering).  And I wish I would have taped what we saw on the sidewalk that is referenced in the video.  Let's just saw it looked like a red headed/bearded leprechaun on a tractor going down the sidewalk.

Jack took a snoozer.

Jaden marked our spot.

Jack found one of his lures, just not in the most favorable spot. 

Jack and Jaden are absolutely hilarious.  Very refreshing.

This guy had a stone fence around his ranch, which wasn't the standard acre lot.

The guy in the middle is duck hunting in his PJ's.

Horse apples.

We got up at 6:45 both Saturday and Sunday to fish.  Saturday was not successful as 60 mph winds make it hard to cast out a worm or crankbait.  I was glad to have a sweater that doubled as a scarf as well.  Sunday was beautiful. Those are the pictures above. Us girls out fished the boys by # but not by size. 

Jack got a catfish by the tail...

Cuddling up with a bulldog is very similar to cuddling up with 4 sand bags. 

Jack's bait.
