My Hubby is too sweet

February 14th, 2007

Today is Valentine’s Day, and my wonderful husband James completely surprised me. He sent me a beautiful bouquet of red carnations and white mums (my favorites). He also sent me a very sweet Valentine, and an adoreable pink bear. I was shocked, he always goes out of his way to surprise me. He totally made my day!

Can’t commit to a fabric

February 14th, 2007

I’m still snowed in, and trying to tackle little projects around the house. Next up is making new curtains for the living room, ours are a little dated. I found a fabric that I thought that I would like for the curtains, but maybe not. My mom suggested buying a small amount and making pillows for the couch. I made two pillows today, and they turned out really cute. I don’t know if they will end up being curtains, but I see many more throw pillows in my future.

When will Winter be over

February 13th, 2007

It is so cold today, and the ice just won’t stop. It all started last night, rain, then the familiar sound on the roof, more ice for us. I am so tired of Winter and all the cold weather that has come with it (and the super high gas bill too GRRRRR). I am longing for Spring time, and the possibility of leaving the house not dressed in sixteen layers of clothes.

My mom was in town yesterday to help me out around the house, and celebrate my birthday a little early. She even brought my a super yummy chocolate birthday cake, which I will probably finish off today.We got a ton done, made a quick trip to the store, and even got some ice cream, although I think that was mostly for Thade. A big thank you to her for all of her much needed help!!!

Today I’m going to do a few loads of laundry, clean the kitchen, wash dishes, and get my sewing machine out, and work on a few projects. I can’t wait.

Things I should be doing

February 11th, 2007

There are a lot of things that I should be doing today, but I just don’t feel like it today. I should run to the store and complete another shopping list. I should go and gas up my car, and hubbies car too. I should go and put away laundry. I should go and put away dishes. I should go and wash dishes. I should go and buy a newspaper and clip coupons.

But qualifying for the Daytona 500 is on right now, so I’m not leaving the house, and I’m not leaving the couch either.
