What’s on your agenda for today???

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Hello and welcome to a Saturday!!! Yea! This week has just flown by which means that the weekend will go by even quicker. yuck.

The hubby and I had some friends over for dinner last night and ended the night by having a bowling tournament on the Wii.  I’ve never been one for video games but our Wii sees alot of action. If you are looking for a really good game that involves some thinking then get CSI: Hard Evidence. My nephew and I are addicted to that game but are kinda stuck on this one crime scene that is really hard to figure out.  Try it out and see what you think….oh, and it’s not that expensive!

Today after I get off the air I’m headed home to make some potato salad for tonight. I just want some summer food to get me in the mood for warmer temperatures.  Then the hubby and I are headed to a grand opening of a photography studio. Our wedding photographer and good friend Amy Parrish is having her “official” grand opening and we can’t wait to see her and her beautiful studio. You have to check out her work! I can’t even explain how well our wedding photos came out. She is a true artist and beautiful human being as well! www.amyparrish.com

After that we are heading to my in-laws for dinner. We’re going to throw some steaks on the grill and that’s where that potato salad will come in handy…yummmm. We will probably end up playing some board games….always interesting with 4 highly competitive people! (We can’t take the Wii over there anymore because my father-in-law broke a lamp while bowling..LOL)

Well that’s the plan for today! Whatever you have planned have fun, be safe and bundle up!!!

Have a great weekend talk to you Monday!

I gotta ban HGTV!!

How does one become a “clean freak”? Are you born that way? Do you become one from having messy parents? Is there a class where I can sign up? How I wish I was a clean freak…to the point where I would snap if something was out of place…Ya, that’s the kind I want to be!! I’m one of those people that have to run to Starbucks to grab something that I can put at least 5 shots of espresso in. After I chug that you better watch out! Here comes my inner Bree Hodge! Ok, maybe not that bad but I sure do get movin.

But it kills me that I have to have some kind of inspiration in order to break out the pledge and windex. Last night I was flipping through the channels and found myself watching “Designed to Sell”. These shows always suck me in and there are tons of them! But sure enough while watching the show I think to myself that could paint a room, landscape a yard, move around furniture and have it done in one afternoon.  The people on these shows get me so pumped up to redecorate my whole place that at 9pm at night I’m ready to take on the world. What I really should do is record these shows and play them around noon to get myself going for the day. Just think of what I could accomplish! Maybe I should just stick with “Clean House” so it keeps me motivated to get rid of the stuff I already have and make some money on side as well!

I’ll let you know how it goes!

Are we done hibernating yet?

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Ok, this winter thing is getting a little ridiculous wouldn’t you say? I don’t ever remember it getting this cold growing up. I remember those neat snowfalls that make it almost warm outside, remember those? You could actually wear a sweater outside and still feel toasty.  What happened to those? I haven’t seen a snowfall like that in years!

I feel like a hibernating bear….seriously! I sleep alot, I’m grouchy all the time and I’m happy to stay curled up on the couch in my PJ’s watching a good movie (ok, so maybe bears don’t do that last one…but they should!). I’m never usually like this. I just don’t want to be subjected to really cold temperatures. I can handle “winter” temps like 30’s and 40’s but the teens and negatives do not make me a happy camper. Good news though…we should be getting close to 50 today…YEA!! Thursday and Friday are supposed to be in the 50’s as well….woohoo! I’m ready to stop hibernating and get going again!! 1 more month til the official start of Spring!!

 Have a great Wednesday!
