I have to call somebody to come and sweep out the chimneys. Whenever I think of chimney sweeps I think of Mary Poppins and whoever that guy is dancing around with his chimney sweeper and knickers. Wouldn't that be fun if they all did that. I would enjoy a little song and dance routine on my roof while they clean! Ken told me when a guy came out to ( Read more... )

Yes, it's true. I have become one of those people obssessed with home improvement. I went to Lowe's six times this weekend. I haven't actually done my hair in three weeks. I live in jeans with paint sploches all over them and have become accustomed to wiping my hands on said jeans - constantly. And worst of all, I have nothing else to talk about ( Read more... )

I think I am getting sick. I thought my allergies had just been awful the past month, because most people's have here. However, the past couple of days I have felt more like cold sick than just sneezy sick. Today I have my space heater on and my jacket and am still freezing. That is usually a sure sign that something is up. Oh, and it's about 82 ( Read more... )

Closing last Friday went fine. It was actually the easiest part of the whole process. Since then, my house has been consuming every bit of my energy. It's such a big project that I really had no idea it would be so much work until we started. I mean I knew all of the things we had to do, but really didn't anticipate how it would all play out. Since ( Read more... )

I close on the house tomorrow. I am nervous and excited! And more than anything, ready to get started pulling down the atrocious wallpaper and putting up my carefully picked out paint. Also we decided instead of carpet to put wood laminate floors upstairs. Not only does it look better but it will be much easier to clean up Sydney's hair. We are ( Read more... )

I am so hungry for something salty. I would give anything for some Pringles right now.

This morning in the shower I was trying to decide what I wanted to wear to work. It didn't take me long to decide on a brown pair of pants that I love, because they always fit just right (even on my fat days) and they require no ironing. As I pulled them on I thought to myself, "I wear the pants every single Monday!" Probably because I know that if ( Read more... )

Ok my beauty gurus. Can any of you give me some suggestions on a nailpolish I can use for french manicures that won't chip within 2 days. In an effort to 1) cut down on manicure/pedicure bills and 2) still keep my fingers and toes looking pretty, I have decided that I am going to master the art of the french manicure and soon be able to give myself ( Read more... )

Well my mini vacation was fantastic! It was exactly what I needed to recharge my batteries, not that we spent that much time lying around relaxing.

This past week has been brutal for me at work. I can actually say it is the first time I have worked more overtime than regular time and it was completely draining! Mix it together with my birthday outing and you have complete exhaustion! I haven't been my usual chatty self at work today. Talking just seems to use up too much precious energy. Plus ( Read more... )
