Rachel & Brian are coming to visit tomorrow! I’m so excited! And I have so much to do! We’re touring them around Charlotte in the afternoon, then we’re heading up to Valle Crucis for the weekend. We’re going to the Woolly Worm festival , the Mast General Store , Dan’l Boone Inn, and to a…

Says my dear husband. You see today at about 3pm I’ll be donning a toga. Or rather, my white bedsheet. It’s for a project at work. I’m on the diversity council and we’re presenting a cultural display of Greece as part of a company wide project. So the only white sheets we have were actually…

Last night I went to Michaels to buy some things for a work project. While there I noticed that a ton of my fall/Halloween items I had purchased the week before were now on mega sale. I had to return one of those items (I ended up not needing it) so while doing that I…

Today Handyman Buddy is at the house hanging our doors. Yay! He’s the best deal I could find on short notice in the yellow pages. Apparently I’m in the wrong business. I called at least 6 places yesterday and got the following quotes to hang 4 interior doors, no priming or painting, all hardware provided,…

Yesterday afternoon I went to Shayna’s 4th birthday party. She’s my friend Stacey’s daughter and Davis’ cousin. Man, I don’t know if I’ve been to this swanky a birthday party for an adult! The food was great including shrimp cocktail & veggie lasagne. There were little engraved cards at the food tables describing the dishes.…

Sunday my Mom came over to check out my progress on the doors. She apparently felt sorry for me because I get a call a little while later from her as she’s standing in the door section of Lowe’s buying us 4 new interior doors! Yay! Have I mentioned lately how great my Mom is??…

Saturday after work J & I tackled the doors again. We stopped for a break to watch Trading Spaces. I just don’t understand why Kia is on this show. Another wallpaper border? Astroturf in the bedroom? A Dollar Tree bag? (Now, I love the dollar store for gift bags etc., but I’m not a professional…

These doors are kicking my butt, and we’ve got company coming in a week!! Turns out I’m stripping off literally 4-6 layers of paint & stain. Between getting my house ready & a project for work, I will have zero spare time in the next week. It will all be worth it though. I tell…

That’s me! =) I spent today, and by today I mean allllll day (8-7) babysitting Davis. And of course he was wonderful. And of course I’m now covered in food & baby goo. Off to take a bath!

This is me right now. So glam! My mighty sander. Our bedroom door “before”.
