Before and After's

As promised here are some before/after shots of my new living room and dining room. I'm so stoked to be almost done with these rooms. They have been in progress for over a year, I also found a 9 ft christmas tree that will be going in the chocolate room. It will have a equestrian/fox hunt theme! But this is just one of the at least 7 trees I'm doing this year. I can't wait to show my new firefighter tree too I found the perfect garland for it. As the room's get done I'll post photos and share our new to us home with you. Enjoy this black friday and leftovers.

It's raining and pouring

And I wish I was snoring...well since that won't happen here's the news of the day lol there is none! Hopefully tonight we will finish up our front two rooms. Then tomorrow on my days off I'll be painting our bedroom and kitchen. We are getting vinyl laid on Friday! Then hubby can put the cabinets in PTL! I also ordered my new horse themed ornaments today, and bought a ton of goodies at Hobby Lobby most at 90% They had their fall decor at 90% off so I got some neutral foliage to use as filler in my tree. Plus I found some wild yellow/white fringe trim that I can use as garland on my firefighter tree. As soon as they are up I'll post ton's of pics can't wait to get this going. Ta Ta for now

Checking In

I haven't posted in a few days, due to being off work. I took some time off to work on the house. Basically we are nearing the end of our remodel and I really need to finish stuff up. Yesterday we got the concrete lid poured over our surprise cistern. I am so stoked though since it means we can finish the kitchen~(when you go 4 months without one it's freaky what you will do) I also met with my college adviser. I have to retake my ACT's to try and get one point higher(an 18) on the math. If I do it will put me at the top of the running for RN school. But the scary part is relearning math after almost 9 years out. But if there is a will there will be a way! I'm off today for painting,Twilight tonight and working on the house.

Have to share

Somebody Stop Me

Okay after having my head in the sand for what seems like I am hooked on blogging. It seems like I can't quit finding neat blogs! How did I do this before, sheesh it's amazing all the neat things, and now I feel like a rock star with 2 followers~! Anyway that's my geeky moment for the day off to keep on adding more blogs to one's I follow.

Pardon my sillyness but these were cute!

You Are a Chocolate Chip Muffin

You are an interesting set of contradictions. You are innocent yet bold. Funky yet predictable. You are a bit dramatic and showy. You love attention. And you know how to charm people into giving you what you want. You are very determined and ambitious... but you're also lazy. Success tends to come easily for you. You often “luck out”.

Monday Musings...

Well it's Monday which is usually my Friday(gotta love law enforcement days off) but I've got CPR rectification tomorrow. Then the rest of the week off!! Yay I might actually get to bring most of my stuff back in my house. I've scheduled to meet with my advisor at college, after 6 years out I'm stoked to be going back. I'm also planning on going to see Twilight when it comes out Friday at midnight with one of my BFF's Ashley!
In other news I tried some great recipes on Sat/Sun that I got from Southern Plate I made her Pumpkin Spice Muffins and Go Bama Steak sandwiches. Both rocked and were quick and simple, I'm looking forward to trying more of her stuff. On another note please cross your heart,cross your fingers, do rain dances or whatever you can think of- so I can get my kitchen back together. It's been 4 months and I'm beyond loopy!
