It's Friday!

Today is Friday, November 20, 2009. The weather has been just fantastic. Warm in the day and cooler in the evenings. The house wide open! No air conditioner or heater running.

The move has been placed on hold. No house yet and the holidays are very fast approaching. Which is OK. There was a new job posting in Jacksonville this week so who knows what will happen. No more worrying about it, time to move forward and get things that need to be done, done and finished. Time to get some yard projects finished that have been placed on hold finished up.

So now I will get to work in my room and get it the way that I want it done. First to clean it all out and then to get the walls done. Spray them with mud and then to paint. OH, fresh paint, I love it. Then to get the tables built in with cabinets under them. I figure within a week it will be finished, or very close to it. All of the pictures that I have framed and painted will finally get their place on the wall instead of a box.

Because We Believe Art is having a super giveaway. You have to go over and check it out. Get yourself entered into this giveaway.

Got lots of "stuff" done today. You know the leave the house in the morning and not get home until late in the day. Then by the time that you get home you are ready to take a nap. Boy, are people cranky in the stores. Maybe I can get groceries on line until after the holidays. LOL

Also I received an e-mail from a few friends, I have no idea if this is just spoof or not, but I am going to share it with you. PLEASE check your register receipt to make sure that it is for the amount that you are charging or using a debit card for. Even if you select NO cash back, the cashier is getting $20 cash back. Then she hands it off in a transaction with a friend. I know that I don't always look, but I looked at every one of them today. Who would have thought?

So Excited MHA First Giveaway

Today is Tuesday, November 10, 2009. It was cloudy for most of the day and then the rains came rushing in. We are supposed to have rain again tomorrow. But, that's OK we need it.

Magical Holiday Artists on Etsy is having their very first giveaway and it is a good one. If you haven't yet entered into this wonderful event, jump on over there and do so. Wonderful offerings to be had. Nothing to buy, no shipping to pay, just follow the blog and leave your comment. And if you too have a blog, make mention of this fantastic giveaway there too. Just to easy!

I did get the pool closed down today! Yea! No more working on that for this season. Good thing to with all of the rain and the wind, blowing all of those pine needles. It took about 4 hours to do, but it is done.

Tomorrow will be time to bake more bread and I am going to do coconut cream with flaked coconut. This was a really yummy one too.

Talked with hubby tonight and he said he hasn't found a house yet. I don't think he has even looked. Sooo, I told him that if this doesn't happen in three weeks as planned, I am going to learn to enjoy spending money and start home projects. Home Depot has home improvement classes every weekend. This really sparks my interest and I think this would really be fun to do.

I could have a blast redoing my bedroom and bathroom. Oh, new paint and flooring and tile in the bathroom. Then of course new bedding and curtains and towels. Put in a large window in the bathroom over the garden tub with that stone looking tile leading up to it. Wouldn't that be fun? I enjoy doing these kinds of projects. Just never had the time before to do them. Then I would be so busy that I wouldn't have the time to miss him as much. hehehe

Busy or Not

Today is Thursday, November 5, 2009. It was another gorgeous day. About eighty and a breeze. However tonight is another story it is in the forties.

Have you ever had a to do list that was nothing but finishing up things? It seemed like it went on forever. So this morning got the laundry on the line and then to check on the pool. This was a mistake, I started puttsing in the yard and before I knew it I had spent about two hours out there. The funny thing is, I am not really sure of what I had done in those hours. It was so warm and the breeze was blowing, even the dogs were laying in the middle of the yard in the sun.

Tomorrow hubby will be home, and the kids want to go to the fair. This should be interesting to see what night they want to go. Friday night, dad won't be home in time to go, Saturday night, the only night he will be here, or Sunday and dad will be leaving that afternoon. I am staying out of this one. hehehe

If you aren't following the Magical Holiday Artists blog, then you need to get over there and follow it. We are going to be having a giveaway and will be announcing it soon. So make sure to check it out to see what is going on. You won't want to miss this one or the future ones. This is also where we announce future sales or specials.
