Chocolate Chip Day

Happy National Chocolate Chip Day!

I celebrated by baking a batch of chocolate chip cookie bars. And under baked them. Then over-baked when I tried to fix it.  I am SO not a baker. I'll stick to cooking. Kthxbye.

Menu Monday

Good Evening Blog-o-sphere,

I did a whole lot of coupon clipping today and not much else, so I figured I should at least do some menu planning. This week's menu is as follows:

Monday: Taco Pasta - It was a "see what's in the cabinet and throw it in a pan" kind of night. Easy peasy. Ground hamburger, green chilis, taco seasoning, ancho chili powder, tomato puree, medium pasta shells. Cook. Mix. Serve. Enjoy.

Tuesday: BUCA!

Wednesday: Beer Lime Chicken

Thursday: Leftover Taco Pasta

Friday: Leftovers

Saturday: AVENGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunday: Perhaps Grill Food (burgers, hot dogs, chicken sausage, potatoes)

DIY: Recovering Dining Room Chairs /// Part Deux

Good Morning Blog-o-sphere!


Last night was a success! Here is what happened, we chose our fabric. Here our top 6 choices, we ended up going with the bottom fabric.

The staples were the wrong size for the staple gun so I had to get new ones, and they are perfect! Until the staple gun jammed and I had to disassemble it. No "extra parts" when I got it back together! Woo! I have 3 of the 6 chairs complete! 

Here is the Before and After

DIY: Recovering Dining Room Chairs

{via}

Welcome to my world of DIY.

Today = a big ol' fail.

I can't seem to get my darn staple gun to make the staple flush with the bottom of my seat. Not cool.
