Late Night Movie

SO last night Tristan talked me into going to see The Hunger Games with her..the late show (past my bedtime lol) anyways it was so good! Now that I have seen the movie first I am hooked and I am going to read all the books once I am done with my Hoda book.

I didnt think I would like it...it is very different as well as gruesome and sad but there is something about it...I dont know what that just sucks you in.

So  basically Im saying go watch it!

Dinner and an Auction!

Work, work, work!

Its pretty much all I do.

I have been doing Zumba when I get home from work and it totally wears me out and I feel sick for the next 30minutes...lol. SO with all the pretty weather and the HUGE backyard we have I decided to just walk! So I walk for about a half hour to an hour depending on whats going on. It is so peaceful and relazing for the mind and I still get a great workout!



Today after work I got a quick nap in (since I get off at noon on Saturdays) then cleaned the house. I hate the sometimes all my free time is tied up in keeping this place looking spiffy..but I guess someone has to do it! lol So when the hubby came back from helping a friend we went to a Mexican restaraunt in town(I was not about to clean everything then have to dirty up the kitchen again).

It was sooo yummmy

Afterwards we went to an auction up the road from us. I wasn't thrilled with going but I was up for it. I found some great things!!

First a marble rolling pin....$6! They are ususally waayyyyy more expensive.


Next a box of super cute old fashioned looking dishes...a whole set for $2!!! I couldnt believe it!


Lastly an antique wooded chair. Im not sure what I am going to do with it yet but I had to have it! I got the feel of a real auction off with a fella sitting behind me..he wanted the chair too but I prevailed! $12 wasnt a bad deal at all!

We are gonna strip it and then see what kind fun we can have with it!
So altogether $20...it was like a flee market/garage sale mixed together and I love both of those so I guess its only natural I liked the auction!

My sisters are coming over tonight! I should have some funny stuff to blog about tomorrow!

Slacker

It's been almost 2 weeks since I've had a post!

Geez!

Not anything too exciting going on here. My organizing has not slacked but I have been going through the house to see what was left i needed to do and I came up with a list of 3

1. Spare bedroom
2. Laundry room
3. Craig's side of our bedroom.

My organizing has rubbed off on my hubby. He has some ideas he has been thinking of to help with these areas and they are not quick fixes but as soon as they are done I will post about them. We also tackled an area that I never thought we would ...our garage! I am so glad we did and we have more storage space now!

We got some not so good news this week about my husbands job. They have imposed a hiring freeze and will not follow through with these until the fall. This was a major letdown so it puts our timeline back to next year like originally planned. So we pray he can find a job soon.

Today the hubby and I went on a date! Lunch, shopping then home for popcorn and a scary movie! It was a great day and beautiful weather on top of it all!

Enjoy your weekend!!

Storms, Shopping and a Birthday Party!

First off I am so thankful that all of my friends and family were kept safe during the storms Friday afternoon. I was at work about 30 minutes away and it only rained with some wind. But I heard about tornado warnings around home so I frantically called my husband to make sure he was safe and were the storms coming in that direction. Thankfully the worst missed us but towns around us not even 15-20 miles south were demolished. The pictures and videos of the tornados that came through were terrifying. Everyone please continue to pray for all of the families who lost their homes and loved ones.

Too close to home.

Saturday my two besties, their little girls and I went shopping! We had so much fun! Our first stop was Olive Garden (of course), then we went to the mall then to a party store so I could get some Tangled decorations for my sisters Bday party.

Our last stop was Target! Love Target! They have the cutest stuff there.

The dollar bin has the best stuff! lol


T-A and I had some fun taking pics! lol

We also had to make a quick run to White Castle because some of our hubbys made some requests..lol. We didnt get back til almost 11:30 so needless to say the burgers were cold...but oh well we were having a girls day and we were NOT to be rushed :)

Sunday I cooked and straightened the house all morning. I was having a surprise party for my sisters! They still werent sure what was going on when they got here! lol

Heres some pics from the day!







^^ Favorite picture! Maddison is so animated! She got $10 and she waved it around (the pic where her hand is blurry  lol) unitl she realized it was not $100 but she said well Im still rich!!

They turned 9! They declared this was the best birthday ever!

Here are a few of the decorations too. I made some tissue pom poms I found on pinterest...it is such a cute idea! Then strung up some balloons (their fav colors of blue and pink went so well with Tangled) Then found a Tangled Happy birthday banner and of course napkins, plates, cups and tableclothe..lol!




P.S. I'll get back to organzing later this week!
