sick

So Jason was sick at the end of last week and I started feeling bad Monday. By Tuesday I went home early because my throat hurt, head stuffy, post nasal drip nastiness, achy, etc and I stayed home from work Wed & Thursday. I slept and rested and drank a ton of fluids. I was feeling much better yesterday~ just kinda sounded like a man! I’m feeling better again today~ just a lil stuffy. So I thought I’d try to get around to posting post-kitchen makeover pictures. When I find the camera USP cord, I’ll get right on that.

Home Improvements!

We started a home improvement week on Monday! I’ve started taking down the 80s wallpaper from our kitchen with the help of my friend Beth’s steamer. I redid our guest bathroom last winter, and using a steamer definitely makes wallpaper removal much easier!
My parents and my beach grandparents are coming up tomorrow to help (as well as trade back SUVs)! We’ll finish the wallpaper removal and then paint the kitchen pale yellow this weekend (hopefully!!). My Nana is finishing up the kitchen curtains as I type! My Pawpaw is great with woodwork and painting so we’re really gonna put him to work. A tree fell on our deck over a year ago, but we’ve never had the deck damage fixed. I’ve taken some “before” pictures and I’ll post them with the “afters” next week. 🙂
I can’t wait to show off the new kitchen at a couple of events I’ll be hosting soon.

Brought to you my the letter M

I was tagged in my sorority sister Mickie’s blog for the “Alphabet Super Game”, where you name 10 of your favorite things that start with a letter. Then you assign a letter to the others playing the game. She gave me the letter M.

1. Moe~ our cat who’s currently cuddle up against my leg
2. My husband~ had to get him in somehow!
3. Marie~ mine and my mom’s middle names pre-marriage
4. Mom & Dad~ who are up in Richmond wishing they’d had snow days too

6. my Nana who’s on a cruise in the Bahamas right now lucky duck!
7. Mexican food~ Rodeo is our favorite around Raleigh
8. Moe’s! I love that place! You’d be surprised how many people told me about free Moe’s and how they thought of me when they heard about it.
9. MarioKart~ after playing my brother’s and my friends I stalked target.com until I found one!

blogging from my phone!

Jason and I needed (wanted) new phone and a new carrier. We did our research and found we could get the best deal with t mobile family plans. With Jason’s work discount we were able to get g1s. I was kinda whatever about it until we brought them home and now I’m obsessed! I just found an app that allows me to blog pretty easily so you might be getting more updates from me.
