Outlander Series

I’m sad. I finished A Breath of Snow & Ashes on Sunday which is the last of the series until some time in 2010. I had dreams in Scottish Highland accents all weekend. I miss Clare, and Jamie, and Bree, and Roger and the funny Mr & Mrs Bugg and all the cute kids… I might have to read the series again before the next books come out (and each one is around 900 pages!!)
I started Handle with Care Monday (its Jodi Picoult’s new book). Its a one week library rental so I’ve gotta speed read it this week. I’ve heard its really good, but I got a box of tissues ready.
Then its back to Twilight which has to be done by Sunday 3/22. I’ve heard nothing but great things about it and think I’ll fly through it. I’m looking forward to meeting Bella & Edward.

Twilight

After months of hearing about the Twilight series and different groups of friends all being fairly obsessed, I gave into it. My sorority alum group is discussing the book and watching the movie on 3/22. I’m about the open up the first book while watching my grandmother take a nap. Im here with her in Charlotte for the weekend visiting because she fell last Sat and broke her hip. My aunt and I are giving my grandfather a break today and tomorrow and hanging out in the rehab center. And Im getting to see and hang out with my friend Beth tonight. Hope everyone has a good weekend. Ps on the way here I was jamming out to Taylor Swift’s Fearless~ loving it!

New Crockpot Book!


For Valentine’s Day, my mom & Dad gave Jason & I a Barnes & Noble gift card. We went by there tonight. Jason didn’t find anything, but I found a 3 books in 1 Crock Pot cookbook. One section is just chicken, soups & stews, and 5 ingredients or less. So excited to try out new recipes and it was only $9.98!! I’ll post the recipes on here if they’re yummy. (You know you’re old, when you get excited about buying a cookbook!!)

New Kitchen!

Here’s a few pictures of the improved kitchen. We stripped the wallpaper, cleaned off the glue, primed then painted it using Valspar’s Creamy Oat in the kitchen/bath finish. We added the knobs on the cabinets and also new hardware for switches and outlet covers.
The new curtains fabric came form Calico Corners. We got it for a steal (originally $20/yard and bought it at $4/yard!) and bought too much because I couldnt remember how many & how big the kitchen windows were. Since we had a lot of fabric left over, my Nana’s working on bar stool seat cushions and a table cloth for our dining room table.
