Pictures are BACK!!

Hallelujah! I figured out how to solve my "problem" of not being able to upload photos. Thank you readers for lending your advice. Much appreciated!! Turns out that the problem boils down to free storage space. Yep, you can only get so much for free. Google gives you a certain amount of free storage space which can be used in a number of different ways. Turns out that I am a Google whore because I use Gmail, Google Chrome, Picassa, Picassa Web Albums, YouTube and Blogger. The Picassa Web Albums is where I got into trouble. This is a place where you can "store" photos using internet storage-great idea, but you can max out on the free part. The total allotted space is combined between Picassa Web Albums and Blogger....so I simply deleted some of my photos online (which are still saved through Picassa on my hard drive-hope this makes sense) and Voila, freed up some space to post more pictures on Blogger!! Sweetness. Glad it was an easy fix.

So, before I get to posting my pantry cooking, I want to tell you how much I love May! Especially this May. I think we can pretty much all agree that May is a spectacular month, and if you don't agree I can't really understand why. But maybe I can convince you.

Why I Love May

1. The weather is amazing! Honestly, does the weather get any better than in May? NO, it doesn't. It's the perfect time of year when it's warm enough to wear cute sun dresses and flip flops from morning till  sunset and never gets too hot that you're forced to use the air conditioning in your house. L.O.V.E. it.

2. Our gardens are actually producing beautiful things!

3. Cinco de Mayo. I'll take any excuse for tacos and beer. Gracias!

4. My birthday is in May so, ok, I'll admit I'm a little partial for that reason, but don't you agree it's the perfect time of year for a party?! This year was extra special because I turned 30!! I was so excited to turn 30 and am loving life. I really do feel a little wiser  ;) Thanks to my amazing husband, my day was filled with family and friends who I can't imagine my life without.

5. Mother's Day is in May!! I'm pretty sure the month of May was chosen to celebrate all Mothers because of it's aforementioned awesomeness.

6. This May marks another huge milestone for me. Twelve years ago I embarked on a journey to a achieve a goal I set when I was a little girl and yesterday I reached that goal. I am now a College Graduate and it feels great.

these are just my books from the last year or so....

7. Once again, this glorious month has yet another gift to offer us....the debut of Sex and the City 2!!!!!!! My cup runneth over with excitement and anticipation to see this chick flick. Can't wait!!!

8. Last, but not least, Memorial Day. A day to reflect and show our gratitude for the men and women who have died fighting for our country's freedom. It also gives Americans an excuse to do what we do best, BBQ.

Hope you all are enjoying your May as much as I am. It is truly a month worth living for.
