DIY Wine Charms & Marble Magnets

March 31st, 2007 @ 4:58 pm by Mrs. Bee

Not Martha has great step by step tutorials on how to make your own wine charms and marble magnets. Either of these would be excellent bridal shower or wedding favors - they’re both easy to make and super affordable! I’m definitely going to try these projects when I need some cute, inexpensive gifts. Thanks Not Martha! :)

6 Random Things

March 31st, 2007 @ 3:33 pm by Mrs. Lime

[1] I cannot whistle. At all.

[2] I don’t like eating certain foods because you have to use your hands, and they’re greasy or messy. In other words, I’m lazy. For example, fried chicken, El Pollo Loco or any other build-your-own fajita type things (even if utensils are provided), etc. But then I don’t mind eating Ethiopian, Indian, or Thai sticky rice + accompaniments with my hands. OK, never mind. I guess I don’t mind for food that is yummy enough to merit getting my hands dirty.

[3] I used to eat sticks of butter when I was very young. I mentioned this to a handful of people in college, and now the entire East Coast knows.

[4] I pet our super smooth, ultra white paper at the office. It’s so smooth and soft! Like a baby’s butt. OK, maybe not, but you get the idea.

[5] I always eat my blue m&m’s, brown reese’s pieces, and red skittles last.

[6] Really spicy salsa mixed with sour cream knocks my socks off, even if it looks like throw up.

Hmm… 4 of 6 are about food, but of course.

Dave and Buster’s

March 31st, 2007 @ 2:38 pm by Mrs. Blueberry

Last night my MOH and dear friend Katie turned 21. Since many of our other friends are still 20, she wanted to go celebrate somewhere that they could come along (ie not a typical bar). So about 15 of us got together at the new Dave and Buster’s that opened not too long ago out at Legends (a big shopping/dining complex out on the Kansas side of KC). If you’re under 21, you have to have someone who’s over 25 let you in, but then the whole place is open to all ages.

D&B’s has all sorts of arcade games–it’s sort of like Chuck E Cheese for grown-ups! You buy a plastic swipe card and then load it up with points (it’s about $10 for 48 points, iirc), then swipe your card in the slots on all the game machines. It’s sort of like tokens for the 21st century smiley106.

Mr. Blueberry and I spent a good chunk of time playing one of those trivia machine games, and earned enough tickets to get ourselves 6 shot glasses. smiley506 It was a very good time–a lively atmosphere, but still kid-appropriate (though the preschool teacher in me must say I wasn’t too fond of seeing 3-year-olds running around at 12:30 am!).
