Oganization

Computer Desk Before
After

Day 14

So my real computer desk did get a going over but it wasn't that horrible so i tackled another "catch all" desk that is in the kitchen. When we build this house i thought "oh this will be handy with the cubby holes and a desk in the kitchen" NO WAY" It is always messy. It attracts everything but men and money. So I emptied the whole lot of it and cleaned her out. containerized. labelized and Voila!
A somewhat organized Catch all desk.

Cruisin'

Day 13

So my boss' told us last week we are going on a cruise as an office in Jan 2012. So excited. Southern Caribean is the place they want to go-which is great because I haven't been there yet.

sorry summer i copied you. :)

Day 12

Sorry for not posting-

I've been very sick with the flu and could not get enough energy to think of anything clever.

But before I got sick I made this little monster doll for my nephew's birthday. It is so ugly its cute.

21 days to get myself organized

Having the flu- the real flu makes for alot of time on the internet. So I found this website on my friends blog http://abowlfulloflemons.blogspot.com. She has some great ideas for getting my not so organized home- well -organized. It is a one project a day system and that way I don't feel overwhelmed and anxious about it. But I am excited. For Day 1 I organized my junk drawer. I didn't take pictures but i should have. it really wasn't that bad . In the next days i will document my organization transformation.. This is huge for me. I will have to post my seriously unorganized life for all of you to see. yikes. but isn't that why we blog in the first place?

Mom's should not get sick. Period. The End.

Day 10
The flu has ravaged me. I told myself "nah-you don't need a flu shot" damnit why do I listen to myself.
So i have the flu, it sucks,.
The End

New Skill-or obsession?

My uber-talented mother learned me how to crochet. pronounced cro-shit. Because of the number of times you say "Oh Shit!" while you are doing it. So I learned, I swore, then I ended up with this pretty scarf thing. Don't you think it matches my eyes. ha ha.

In all seriousness I have wanted to learn how to crochet and knit forever and have . So as part of my "New You" resolution I wanted to get myself a new skill/ obsession.

I am now obsessed with yarn and everything like unto it. I am currently learning how to knit a trendy ear-warmer thingy. We will see how that works out. Don't you worry i will blog about it.

Jumpin' Jacks

Day 8

I don't know about you but around here it is starting to feel like the movie

"Ground hog's Day"

wake up, go to work, come home, read, sleep-repeat

Not today-we decided to shake things up a bit. Because the air is so bad and it is so cold outside we cant go out very much. So a last minute decision to go to Jumpin' Jack's in Springville is just what we needed.

Addi's cousins Peyton and Ava were along for the ride.

Ava and Addi going around on the "carousel"

Addi was a bit tentative at first....

Peyton was a seasoned professional.

Addison finally joined in and when it was time to leave I had to climb one of the "aparati" to get her down. That was pretty-I'm sure you're sad there isn't a picture of that. All in all a great way to spend a Saturday. And the 2 hour nap that followed wasn't bad either.
