Yesterday was delicious. I woke up and delivered a batch of Russian cookies I baked the night before to work for my Russian project (I head up the Diversity Committee). Then I went to my salon to get my hair done. I saw a new lady and she was great. She gave me the cutest…

I can’t believe I’m going to admit this, but I had a Jessica Simpson moment the other day. For those not familiar with Jessica’s sharp wit, she’s appearing on an MTV reality show documenting her new marriage to Nick Lachey. She’s quickly becoming famous for saying things like “I don’t eat buffalo.” when offered buffalo…

There are these 2 windows over our tub that are driving me crazy. I don’t know what to do with them for treatments. They meet in the corner so that rules out curtain rods mounted outside of the moldings. Jon wants blinds but I’m not crazy about having to climb into my tub to clean…

So our 3 year wedding anniversary is coming up in March, and we all know how I like to plan ahead. Making my lists and all. We’re heading to Vegas for a week to celebrate. We loved Vegas when we went on our honeymoon and can’t wait to go back. There’s so much to see…

Last Wednesday my friend Stacy came for dinner and to see the house for the first time. On the way to dinner, and back home, I toured her through my new little town. She made some comments that I’ve thought about as we’ve been driving around since. I drove her by the big plantation houses,…

Before we went to meet Ike I knew he was coming, but it was in the back of my mind. Now that we’ve met him we’ve gone nuts. We went to Petsmart last night and bought supplies- a crate, leash, collar, food, and toys. Now I’m at work and can’t seem to stop looking at…

So remember I told you about our little errand? Time to let the secret out! We’re getting a pug! He comes home in 2 weeks. We went to the kennel yesterday to visit him. A very nice couple runs a small kennel on their farm about an hour from us. Here he is! So cute!…

Just got back from the vet with Nimbus from her check up. She’s doing great- has lost a little over a pound from last year’s visit, she’s down to 13 lbs now. She likes to flaunt her womanly body. Jon’s outside cleaning the gutters. I’m about to finish the 2nd coat on our bedroom wall-…

Here’s the next round of pics from our home improvement extravaganza! First up we have the ceiling fan. This is in our bedroom and it replaced the tacky shiny brass fan that was in there when we bought the house. The set up of the room requires that the fan has lights (something I’m not…

I love the power of the internet. Jon read my post yesterday so when I got home he had the kitchen almost painted. yay! He has another coat to go (those darn stencils!), and some trimwork, but then it will be finished. I’ll take pictures tonight. I can’t decide what to do with the windows…
