Make Your Own Jamba Night!

Eek! It is currently a sweltering 87 degrees in the apartment (at 7pm!) and I wanted something cold for dinner. We have absolutely nothing available to make a salad...

Sounds like a Make Your Own Jamba Night! This is something Mom and I used to do growing up in yucky hot Sacramento. (Only we didn't call it that... I don't think Jambas existed yet.) On top of being a light and healthy meal, you can use up random ingredients that you have in your kitchen.

For example, tonight I used:

rachel's cherry black current yogurt

nonfat milk

honey

nutmeg

cinnamon

vanilla

banana

almonds

peaches

applesauce

ice

Here's the final product

Try your own combination and enjoy your yummy creation!

Confession: The straw is mainly for show... The smoothie is definitely too thick to use a straw!

Cute Overload!

Please enjoy this out of control cute picture of Mom's dog, Molly, wearing her raincoat.

The lining and buttons are yellow duckies.

I NEED A DOG, people.

Curtains!

If I knew all along how cute curtains were, I would have done them years ago! I had no idea where to start (12 feet is a lot of window!), but thank goodness Greg's mom is a curtain master. She came over fully equipped with drill, stepstool, measuring tape, and all the essentials! After a trip to Bed, Bath, and Beyond we were ready to go. A few hours later, this is what we came up with...

I'm still trying to decide how I want to hang the scarf (the horizontal piece) but I think it looks super cute! Any ideas?

Note: I also really really want tassels (gold!!), but fear they are too corny. Agree/Disagree?
