I'm Crafty
Head on over to the Crafting page for the first artsy post! It's a quick project that you can do anytime, even while watching TV. Let me know what you think!
With the gloomy weather, I got a few crafty projects started this weekend, so keep an eye out for more to come including spiral bangle bracelets, interchangeable ribbon necklaces, and an indoor herb garden.
It was an otherwise uneventful weekend, so I don't really have any exciting news. I do have a few new recipes to post and will be working on those in the coming days!

We are currently experiencing technical difficulties...
Blogger has been down for almost and entire day and all I've wanted to do this morning is make my FIRST crafting post. I tought a class to some awesome ladies down at Petals last night and now they are the first in the area with what I hope will be a new fashion trend!
I'm kind of nervous about spending my time on a post right now, because many recent posts that bloggers have spent time on have been deleted. They say they are working to restore the posts, but until I see my Veggie Pizza recipe back online, I amd going to take a little break! Hopefully I will be back with you this weekend and will share a new recipe and craft then.

Finally!
I'm definitely a summer girl. I really should consider moving south someday. With that being said, I couldn't be happier that the warm weather is here in the Midwest! I even got my first tan line of the year yesterday (ugly as it is, right around my neck along my t-shirt line). Guess it is time to break out the sunscreen!!!
To get in the summer spirit, I recently made a veggie pizza. This is one of my favorite snacks and everyone seems to love it. Check out the cooking page for the recipe!

Wrong Place
For some reason, the post I meant to make on this page last week posted to the cooking page. I'm going to call this computer error (even though I'm pretty sure it was human ((me)) error).
Head on over to the cooking page for some Carolina Crabcakes (and bourbon balls and butterscotch brownies in case you missed them).

Facelift
I was kind of over the jumble of the blog layout before so I decided to clean it up a bit. Next up, a cute header for each page!
Check out the cooking page for a new post. It is kind of irrelevant at the moment but it was so cute that I just had to share!
COMING SOON!!! My first crafting posts! I will be teaching a little craft class down at Petals next week and will share our project once it is all complete. I also have a page full of photos of things I would like to make soon so hopefully it will get the ball rolling with the 3rd part of the blog.
There isn't too much going on in the land of Rusk at the moment. We (and by we I mean the husband) are just trying to get the yard ready for the summer. I love picking out the flowers, but hate the dirt-under-the-nails feeling.
I did remember that it is Cinco de Mayo... Too bad I had the taco bar at LSB last night. Guess I just celebrated a day early? The Kentucky Derby is this weekend as well. The husband actually attended the event last year and had the time of his life (while I stayed home and hosted a wonderful Derby themed bridal shower for my lovely sis-in-law).
Now that I've rambled about every possible random thing in no order, I'm off to pick out a 'favorite' horse for the race this weekend!

Did I just spend 4 hours watching 1 television show?
The newest guilty pleasure in the Rusk household happens to be the television channel G4. Actually, it is just a few shows, but we keep getting sucked in!
The first is Campus PD. It is simply a 'cops' show that follows college campus police departments. They do noise violations, DUI stops, underage drinking arrests, etc... It is a shame to watch so many young people getting in trouble for things they obviously know are wrong, but I just can't look away. A great show when nothing else is on just before bed (if you like terrible reality television like me).
The second was discovered this weekend. Ninja Warrior has been running 24 hours straight all weekend. Basically, it is the original Wipeout from Japan. Instead of the 'Big Red Balls' and other funny challenges we have here in the U.S. they have really tough obstacles and strength challenges. There were 6 of us adults at our house last night watching it. I think we were more involved emotionally with the competitors than we were with the Super Bowl. It is amazing to see what people can achieve when they try!
I promise we did not spend our ENTIRE weekend watching Ninja Warrior, but I can not promise that there were plenty of things on my 'to do' list that were not accomplished because of the show. Oh well, that's what the weekend is for, right?
Be on the lookout this week for new recipes on the cooking blog. I have plenty of photos to share just as soon as I upload them from my camera!
