Just a few finds this week ~ I’ve been spending a lot of time on garters and not a lot of time on the Internet. But I did run across this awesome tutorial for a basket made out of newspaper. I have long been a basket lover and I think this one is absolutely adorable. It would make the perfect magazine holder! Let the newspaper collecting begin ~ I want to make one!

And now onto my confessions. It’s been one of those weeks, so there are quite a few of them!
~ I washed all of my work pants {that fit} Monday afternoon, figuring that would give them plenty of time to air~dry. It didn’t. I went to work on Tuesday in semi~wet pants. They were finally dry at lunchtime.
~ I had the fabulous idea of trying to get 48 of my daily 64 oz of water in at work on Tuesday. Halfway through my second 24 oz bottle, I realized what a mistake this was. I spent the remainder of the day running to the bathroom every 15 minutes!
~ I totally almost fell out of the shower yesterday morning. I was turning around while standing on one foot and almost lost my balance. If I hadn’t caught myself, I’m sure I would have gone flying out of the tub and landed in a pile of naked wetness and shower curtain on the floor. A disaster for sure!
~ Nate made chocolate chip cookies Tuesday night. {He’s been doing quite a bit of baking lately and the dieter in me who’s trying to shed 10 pounds objects!} There were just a few left last night, and after checking with him first, I chucked them in the garbage. They were sitting on the top of the garbage {it was beyond time for the garbage to be taken out} so to make extra sure I wouldn’t be tempted to pull one out {gross, I know, but they were fabulous cookies!}, I swept the kitchen floor and put the sweepings on top of the cookies. Cookie temptation avoided!
Happy Friday!

~ Uggg, I HATE semi-wet pants. They feel sooo weird.
~ I drink 64 ozs at least during work. So I totally understand that.
~ At least you didn't hit your head! Can you imagine having to have 911 called with you on the floor, not being able to move in case you ruined your spine?!
~ That is smart. Because I totally would dig in the trash too. Especially cookies. *drool*
Oh, and those flowers are ADORABLE!!! Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend for once in the Pacific Northwest!
I love that newspaper basket...so unique!! Your body will get use to the extra water. Then you will not have to go to the restroom so much!
Have a fab weekend.
Great tip for avoiding the last cookies!
OMGosh...Me too...on so many things. I too have been trying to get my water intake up to where it should be (i'm downing 12 oz. right now as i'm typing...ok, in between typing). I also have to get rid of sweet things lying around the house. I always make them gross in one way or another, so I can make sure I won't be tempted.
That basket is sooooo cute! My friend is a knitter/crocheter and she found a pattern for a re-usable shopping "bag" made out of the plastic sacks from the store. I thought that was so clever.
Hope your Friday is FABULOUS!!!
I LOVE that magazine basket. What a cute idea.
Have a super weekend in the sunshine!
