i am ready for orlando

Another month & a half til vacation but I'm ready to go now. The past few days have been nuts, I'm tired of cold weather, and I want a vacation! Valentine's Day night, Chase cooked soup for dinner; he found a copycat recipe of Le Cellier's beer cheese soup and made it. Last time we tried this it made a HUUUUUGE amount and it wasn't great. But this time it ...

it’s a very whiny post

Ok this post is going to be whiny! Only because sewing was a pain in the butt this past week and then I had a DISASTER in my sewing room. But as usual let's start at the beginning. Last Monday we got Kevin's bed assembled! I'm hoping to paint it (the room not the bed) sooner rather than later. And get some curtains up in there - his room is ...

break out! before you get bum rushed

So guess what! I actually did some sewing over the weekend. Not a lot. And I didn't take any pictures. So uh... does it count? I'm not sure. Haha. But I'll get to that in a minute. Ok so first order of business is I saw a news story that The Princess Diaries is getting a 3rd movie. And that made me nostalgic for the books. I LOVED the books! ...

our shadows taller than our soul

So it's been another week of unpacking and organizing. FUN TIMES. But the past week I've really dug in on the sewing room, which was equally fun and equally frustrating. One of the things I ran across that I didn't know what to do with was all of my CDs. I had a decent CD collection. But a lot of them was stuff I really don't care about anymore. Men ...

oh wow

Starting off with the art today because I have it open so it's the easiest thing to post haha. This is based on a ROTS era concept. I tried it in some different colours but at the end of the day it's a battle outfit and having it be purple really wasn't working. I tried to keep some different tones in the greys so it wasn't totally grey and dreary ...

I've been unpacking, organizing, breaking down boxes for a whole week but when I look around it's like I've done nothing. It's so frustrating LOL Tuesday at work last week was like, the day from hell... so I decided to go home and treat myself. Nana & Kristie got me this gorgeous display mannequin ...

It’s the first house post of 2019

At least I think it is. I'm too lazy to go look. So Thursday last week we TOOK POSSESSION OF OUR NEW HOUSE!! It was super exciting. I met Chase there as soon as I got off work, we had the alarm folks out to look at updating the alarm system that came with the house, and they got everything updated and ready to go on Friday. (it has an ...

it’s 2 posts in one day

and that's only because I totally forgot to come back and hit publish on my disney trip report post last week. So I published it this morning LOL. But, I don't really have a lot to post about today. Last week after Christmas was pretty boring. Work was quiet and boring. Didn't really do anything in the evenings. One evening last week I got sucked into watching some "Sims 4 100 Baby ...

beautiful pain

Sooooooooo I hinted at it here and there but didn't out right tell anybody I was going to Disney World the week before Christmas. Part of it was because it was kind of a sudden decision, and part of it was because I wanted to keep it Ash's trip! Last week was Ash's birthday and we celebrated it in the best way possible... by putting ourselves thru the grueling marathon ...
