Draft I found....originally set to POST on 6/12/2012

SO...I know I did it again...I left you hanging here...well...I'm Back!

I've been sewing, crochetting, crafting, shopping, cleaning and generally running around like a headless chicken!

May - I can't really say that I remember much of May...the finishing of school for the kiddos. 
The Overland Expo with the Adventure Wife and her hubs.  Which was "fun" but interesting.  The wind was horrific and when we were in the pop up it felt like we were in a tornado or just about to be blown over from the sheer force of mother natures fury.  But all in all a good time was had!

June - Ughh...June already.  With so many things this month it's hard to tell what side is up and which is down.  We've got horse camp, swim lessons, birthdays, playdates, summer movies, ranch watching, wisdom teeth removal scheduled for next week, lake trips, and out of state visitors.  As if all of that wasn't enough stuff it all happens while the MAN is working the night shift...blah.  To top that off for the past three nights I have been attacked by a dire case of insomnia, which tends to make me cranky during the day.
On the upside, vacations - yay!  I also got some new BLING, lovin it! 

SO!
I have turned one size 16 dress into a bubble shirt - viola!
I have fixed one necklace, finished an unfinished necklace, and created one necklace and one bracelet.
I have crochetted three coffee cup cozies, please be aware I am not daft I do realize that the cups I made them for are insulated.  However the cozy is more to expand the width of the cup bottom so that it fits in my trucks cup holder without me having to hang on to it when I make turns. Haha!
I finally got a decent picture of Boomer!
I buckled down and created Ivan's T-Ball shadow box (unfortunately his trophy was to wide to fit into the actual box)
I have been working out - yay me!
I have also been moving along nicely in my quest to watch the entire series of "Numbers" - thank you netflix.
I have played but not yet finished Skyrim
and have expanded my shoes by 4 pairs without complaint from the MAN (1 pair of which was actually his contribution)

We haven't been working all that much on the Rambler as we've downgraded it to a secondary hobby while we get ready for our upcoming non-child camping trip with the Adventure Duo. With it just being the two of us and the desire to off-road a bit on this trip we purchased a rooftop tent from Tepui, and the MAN has built a custom drawer for his vehicle.  More modifications will be forth coming but I'll save those for a future post.

I've been placed in charge of the camp menu and have been scouring pinterest and google for camping recipes that are easy and have few ingredients.  I've got a list going but will need to confer with the adventure wife before making the menu concrete.
