My projects!

I've been feeling incredibly crafty and creative lately. It's awesome!! :-) It's fun and gives me something very productive to do while at home! I guess now I am a Domestic Goddess. Lol. I've been working on a few projects lately and have a few simmering "on the back burner". I recently finished a project N started when we lived at our first apartment. He found this glider out by the dumpster and being the genius he is, he saw great potential in it. It lived on our balcony for many months while N took it apart, sanded it down, and fixed all the little problems. It then was transported to our new apartment and the work continued. We even picked out a cushion for it! Of course like most fix-up projects it needed paint. It took a while before we were able to chose a color that would work in our home and reflected our style.

I haven't done a lot of painting in my time so I thought now would be a great and perfect experience! Who knew I was a perfectionist when it came to painting! Lol! It was a lot of fun paiting that chair. N helped me out a little with the painting, but I think he knew how much fun I was having with it so he stayed out of the way. :-) Now our beautiful glider is sitting in our living room! Thalia loves the glider!! Haha! She has made her claim on it and gives us rather mean looks when we try sitting on it. She's too cute!


Wow...I'm sitting here waiting for all my pic to download from the camera to my computer and it's taking forever. I really need to go through all the pics and delete some. :-) Ah! Here we go...






This past weekend H came over so we could make a diaper cake for a baby shower she was throwing. What's a diaper cake you ask? Well...umm...it's a "cake" made out of diapers. :-) Pretty much you roll diapers together place them in the shape of a cake and decorate with different things the mom-to-be and new baby will need. We decided that if someone was ever going to try to make one that we should warn that person that you will NEED 2 PEOPLE! Lol. They don't tell you how hard it is to put that thing together! I think we were rather proud of ourselves though! The cake was sooo cute!

The Adventures of Thalia pt. 1

Okay so I didn't think I was going to do 2 posts, but it seems that I have to!! :-) I found our precious cat Thalia licking the wall where our Christmas Tree used to be. Very strange...yes indeed...very strange.


Thalie-boo licking the wall...


This is her "oh no! they caught me!" look. :-)

First Rambling of the Year!

Right now I am sitting in my (half-clean) apartment in a dark room. Why? Well one: I find it easier to write in the dark and two: if I had the lights on I wouldn't be able to look out my "snow-flake" frosted window as well. Hmm...So I guess technically since the sunlight is coming in I'm not really in the dark am I? How about dimly lit room? Lol. :-)

Oh dear... There are two loads of laundry screaming obscenities at me. But...I figure that if I ignore them long enough they'll stop and maybe pop into the washer by themselves. Too much to ask right? :-) I finally took down all our Christmas decorations. Boo-hoo. I love setting up for Christmas!! I feel so incredibly sad when I have to put everything away. It's like saying good bye to a great house guest...a great house guest who brings a lot of happiness and warmth into your life...a great house guest who sadly will not come back until the end of the coming year. *Sigh* Goodbye Christmas. See you again in 11 months.

I'm really happy N is working with Matt this year. Kudos to my man for being a genius and kudos to his boss for hiring my genius! :-) It's very cool to see how excited N is about his work. Finally he can come home to me relaxed and full of stories about his job. And I am so happy is leaving work at 5pm instead of 5:30pm. What's the difference you ask? Well...umm...thirty minutes?! We were laughing just the other day about how we moved to this area so we would be closer to N's job and our (old) church and now almost a year later N has a new job and we have a new church and they are both located where we used to live! Hah! Oh well! We really like this place over here!

I'm still contemplating what to make for dinner. Usually on Thursdays we have Mac & Cheese. Yummy!! I found a recipe last night though that I really want to make. So maybe I could make it tonight and we can have our M&C tomorrow?? Oh! But I really want my Mac and Cheese! Augh! Curse my inability to make decisions! ;-)

Ooo...N should be out of work now! I think I shall call him and ask what he wants! There! Problem solved. :-)
