Pandamonium Blog - Ramblings of a Crazy MaMa!

Sooo it's pretty much been forever since the last blog. My life has been seriously crazy and I barely even get a chance to sit down at my computer which I hope now that it's getting cooler I will have more nights in than out. Guess what!? I moved yet again! I moved into a cute little house with my friend Rhonda. She is buying it so we get to do whatever we want to it. It's been hard work like painting, pulling up carpet and tack strips!!! It's soo cozy though I just love it. I painted my room "Sunny Tulip Yellow" it's gorgeous. I will do a house tour once we get new carpet. My room is staying with the wood floors they are soo pretty. I NEED to start working on my Halloween costume, I won't reveal what it is until I know for sure it's gonna happen. I'm just in love with our Fall weather in here in Colorado. THe air is crisp and the pumpkin spice lattes are amazing! I'll be back soon, scouts honor! lol xoxo. Ren

Wow! This month seemed to fly by faster than any others this year so far! I'm will say I am glad it is just too dang hot for comfort and the closer it get to the Autumn months the happier I am. Alot has been going on especially since I haven't posted in a month, keeping busy busy is what I do :) Here is a little run down of what I have going on to bring you and the blog up to speed. * I started working back at the Salon by appointment only, I had a bunch of appointments * I went to my first Scentsy Workshop. It was in Colorado Springs and I had so much fun and I came home with soo much cute stuff! * I drank lots of iced COFFEE! * Went to the drive-in movies a couple of times * Ate lots of BBQ! * Participated in our first ever backyard yard craft fair and it was a raging success! * Started vending at our local farmers market on Fridays, my sister and I have really been enjoying doing this, it's so much fun. (minus the heat!!!) * Most importantly my mom brought home the mo...

Howdy and Hello! I'm just sitting here on my lunch break watching some MTV and eating popcorn. I love working at home because I can actually relax on my breaks! When your in the workplace on a break you still at work. This last weekend was Addison's Hello Kitty pool party at the YMCA. It was so much fun and the kids had an awesome time, this coming weekend is Adrianna's Shrek party. I can't believe my babies (nieces) are getting soo old. It makes me sad and wish that they would stay tiny forever. I love being an Auntie soo much they always make me feel like a million bucks and tell me I'm their best friend. Nothing beats that! Also this weekend my mom, our friend Juanita, and I are making our way to Denver to go see Adele live in concert! I'm over the moon :) I'm pretty sure it's gonna be amazing. Her voice is just magical. Well I hope you have a great long weekend, my next post is bound to have a tons of fun pictures from the HK party, Shrek party,...

OMGsh! It's almost summer and I can't wait! I'm not usually one for the heat but I've been so cold lately it's sounding pretty good. The two places where I "live" both have swimming pools so you can bet I'm gonna have a great tan this year. Which also means I need to hit the gym like I should be there right now doing something to tone up! I have lost an amazing amount of weight since the begining of the year and I feel awesome, Nearly 30lbs!!! I can't believe it happened and pretty much by just not eating fast food and being careful with the sweet stuff. Being a diabetic it's hard figuring out what to eat and what not to eat and how to balance. I was diagnosed last April and I still have my struggles with it but I just try and take it one day at a time. In my crafty world I have been crocheting as usual making pretty flowers headbands and clips in time for summer and some flowery hats! Here are some pretty amazing photos that make me yearn...

Happy Saturday everyone! This year has been flying by already and had been super busy for me. Between work, cleaning, crochet, and helping my mom with her Scentsy stuff I just go with the flow, meanwhile the clock just keeps on tickin'. Today was kinda busy I worked until noon then when home and got ready for my little two year old Audrey's birthday party. This party for a two year old was INSANE! They had a cotton candy machine, a two-tiered cake, minnie mouse chocolate covered apples, chocolate covered marshmellows, a bounce house, pinata, tattoos, games, dress-up, pizza, a giant minnie head made out of dum-dum suckers!!! There was more but I just can't remember it all. My nieces has a great time and I guess I did too, then again I'm just a big kid :) I'm off work tomorrow! Gonna clean and get organized for the week. Here are a few photos from today at the party!

That would be me. I haven't blogged in over a month! I've been so exhausted with working overtime and my blood sugar has been out of wack too which makes me feel really tired and fatigue all the time. It really sucks but I try to deal with it the best I can. I did however lose the eleven pounds I wanted to lose, so im happy about that. I'm living with by boyfriend so I'm not working at home right now, I'm actually going into work for the time being. I also applied for a new position at work so I'm hoping I get it and a good schedule too. I got out of work early today went and had lunch with my mom and took a longish nap. It was great! I really love naps, I wake up feeling recharged! Then I did a haircut, watched some American Idol, then went and got a Slurpee (which I have be craving for over a week). In other news my birthday was on the 4th and I turned 28! I can't believe it....where do the years go? I still feel like a youngin' :) Here are ...

I'm done shopping, I'm done wrapping! I'm still working on some Christmas orders though. Hopefully tomorrow I will be done. I have been scarce online lately due to all the orders and work. I love the holidays but man they are busy. I haven't really even done much baking either. How is your holiday season going!? Merry Christmas!

Monday is over and I'm laying in bed all snuggled in my flannel polka dot sheets my Jerbear got me last year for Christmas, and let me tell ya these babies keep you warm warm warm! All in all today was a pretty ok day. I did need to run to the store and to the post office when I got off work but that didn't happen. Tomorrow is a new day and those places will be there. I did however manage to finish a monkey hat, an earwarmer, and another hat that will probaly end up being an owl hat. Other than those projects and working I did three loads of laundry, cleaned my bathroom and mopped! I watched a couple episodes of intervention then decided to browse Ravelry and Etsy for a baby boy bootie pattern to go with the monkey hat I made which is a custom order and came out really cute. For only crocheting for about a year now I am really starting to learn how to design stuff from scratch. It really cool and way different from knitting (which will always be my first love!). I found th...

I decided to take the night off from crocheting and let my wrists rest. I use them all day long for work and then I'm knitting and crocheting while I'm working and I don't want them to burn them out since I have quite the work load yet to work on. I did finish 2 more owl hats and a green peoni hat. Not much else is really going on around these parts. Jeremiah and I need to find a good spot to take our annual Christmas pictures. I would like to take a little trip up to the mountains but we shall see. I'm so excited for the holiday seeason. I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping which is AWESOME! Then I can focus on all the fun and meaningful parts of the season. This year since I am staying with friends we will be decorating here. It will be pretty neat since this is going to be the first year they have ever put up a full size Christmas tree and went all out with decorating. I just love the feeling of holidays. Last year felt weird for some reason and I ...

Mondays are the hardest day of the week for me. I do not like them at all. I always feel like I need at least an extra three hours of sleep when I get up in the morning and feel sluggish all day. I don't usually do anything over the weekend to make me feel this way, I'm just simply not a Monday person. I'm just so glad I work from home and don't have to get ready in the morning. This evening was the first night of the cold season that I had to scrape ice off my windshield. That is another wonderful thing I don't have to worry about this winter. I have tons of custom orders I'm working on. I've been getting them almost daily! I think it's great that people want to wear my goods :) At the moment I am working on three owl hats. I just need to put the eyes on them and they are complete and ready to warm up someone's noggin! I so wish I had the money and the space to buy every color of the rainbow in yarn and in bulk so I wouldn't have to mak...

This was definitely a busy busy weekend/week. Friday I was off I slept at the hospital to keep my Gram company, it wasn't bad other than the bed was rock hard and killed my back and it was close to what felt like 100 degrees in the room! We woke up around 7 my Gram went to breakfast and to her shower while I cleaned her room up a little bit, then she went on an outing to the planetarium and had to take my dress in the get altered for the wedding I'm in next weekend. I made a haircut appointment for 2 pm and I totally slept through it! I was kinda bummed but I guess I just needed my rest. That evening I had two kickball games, it was really fun as usual. Let' s see Saturday I work, then went to a Wine Festival/Craft Show in Canon City. We try to go every year to get some of the best apples ever! Honey Crisp - they are so crunchy and have such a yummy flavor to them. If you haven't tried them you MUST! Sunday I missed church for like the third week in a row, I really need...

Happy Labor Day! Today has been a pretty chill day. Jer and I woke up really early to go get some much needed things out of my storage unit. I've been needing to get in there for some time but it's been so hot and it wouldn't be a quick trip since it is jam packed. Like filled to the top from front to back. I did get what I was looking for luckily though. The tv remote, my huge box of yarn, my diabetic test strips, my little ottoman, a lamp and bunch more randmon but useful things. We had a little breakfast and then we each went to our parents houses for a little bit and I actually took an unplanned nep which was awesome! Then we just came back home and relaxed until it was time to go back to Jeremiah's rents for a little Labor Day BBQ get together. It was tasty as usual and of course I had a tons of laughs. I love those people. Now I'm just gonna loaf around and crochet a hat while watching DEXTER! This week I hope to get in a few bike ride the weather has...
