It rained ALL. DAY. TODAY. Which is fine with me, we need the rain bad! It made for a cozy day spent watching TV, playing with Sadie, working on some orders, enjoying some lunch, napping, reading to Sadie, watching Sadie eat her book, and playing with Aunt Nae Nae. She has been sorely missed round these parts! She's been sick for the past week or … [Read more...]

I finally finished my last coat of paint on the mirror that's in our master bedroom. I think it looks quite swanky! What do you think? (and yes, I know my paper whites have kinda gone crazy. What are you supposed to do with them after they grow? with the bulbs I mean?) Anyways..... Sadie seemed to enjoy preening in it. (I feel pretty, oh so … [Read more...]

I used to not mind going to the dentist. It wasn't too bad, back when you got to miss school for an appointment and always got a new toothbrush! We've been putting off going, both of us haven't gone in...years. So we went today, and let's just say Rory got off easy with 3 cavities. I have a bunch, and also need to get my three remaining wisdom … [Read more...]

It's happened.I've let it into my house. Why, oh why?Because it's entertaining and addicting. Gorsh!After years of swearing I hated American Idol(too mainstream, annoying singers, blah blah), I've kind of...gotten into it this season. I like the new judge too. Janae and I were critiquing the singers. It was fun! I belted out what would be MY … [Read more...]

Sadie has had quite the week! First, learning to "play" the violin. Her first music lesson from Grandma. It ain't coming from me! I may know how to play a few instruments (and not well, mind you), but I'm definitely not good at teaching them.All of the excitement so far has worn her out!Another trip to the park. She's already getting good at the … [Read more...]

Be quite.

So I got a text from Rory this evening, which is strange in and of itself as he never texts, plus he was just in the living room...but anyways, it said:Come take a picture be quite. Be quite what? Charming? Beautiful? Totally all around awesome? We already know I am all of those things. Also "quite" humble. Anyways, I gathered the real meaning of … [Read more...]

Man, it's tiring to quilt a quilt on a machine. Pushing all that fabric through over and over again. It's a work out! It's done though...so yay. (the quilting part) Now I have to sew the binding on, by hand, thank you very much. I've never done that, so I had to look it up online...here is the tutorial I found that helped the most. It has … [Read more...]

Wouldn't you love waking up to a face like this? She's so happy when she wakes up it almost makes it worth waking up. (for me) lol. I got a new reading lamp for my nightstand. We only had one measly light in there before. Is it weird that I love pulling the little chain so much I will turn it on for no reason? Oh well, all the better to read my … [Read more...]
