Normally, it takes me forever to write up a post. For a couple of reasons……

my mind freezes up
as soon as I sit down, someone (Sarah) has to go to the bathroom
while I’m trying to get everything typed up, children (Emily & Audrey) start fighting
the kids (all) need things, like lunch

Anyway, I have exactly 10 minutes to get the  post up because we are headed out to story time this morning.

So, as usual, ignore any spelling and grammatical errors. thankyouverymuch

Do any of y’all know what kind of flower this is?

It looks like a rose, and I think several people told me before it started to bloom that it was indeed a rosebush. I was excited to see the first couple of blooms yesterday but as the day passed it began to look like this…..

And now I’m not so sure. I was expecting them to look like the roses that you get at the florist shop.

And now I need your opinion on this end table.

This will be my first attempt to refinish furniture.

At first I wanted to paint it solid black. Then I wanted to paint it a creamy ivory color. Then I saw a pretty blue color, then a green color and then, and then and then.

I can’t make up my mind about anything!

And now I’m thinking about a distressed look. Maybe paint it black underneath and an ivory color on top, sanding off here and there.

So, what do you think. Any ideas? Have you done something like this before?

Well, we are off.

I went over by 5 minutes.

For my first Tasty Tuesday, I’d like to share my recipe for corn salsa. We enjoy eating this as a side dish (with tortilla chips) when I fix Mexican, sandwiches or burgers.

1 1/2 block of Pepper Jack cheese (cubed or shredded) 

1/4 cup of mayo
