Peanut Butter and Jelly

So....obviously I have developed a bad habit lately of not wearing pants. No, really I just have a stupid phone that promised to be really cool...promised being the key word there.
I decided this past week that the greatest adventure of my entire life is going to be remodeling my stupid house. Last weekend I decided to be brave and paint the walls in my kitchen so my dad could hang up the cabinets. I went to Home Depot and picked out my very favorite color, Wilmington Tan (I think I loved it because it was tan and because I really loved Wilmington, DE!!) Well, it was just a LITTLE too dark for my little tiny kitchen...I asked the guy at the counter if he could help me out. He said that he would just add a fourth of the color and it would be much lighter and just what I was looking for. :) He mixed it, it looked great, I took it home, I painted the walls...........it looked like a freakin clown had painted the walls! And it looked like I took a great big jar of peanut butter and smeared it all over the walls. But don't worry, I bought some nice red paint for one of the walls in my family room - I now officially own a peanut butter and jelly house. Oh, just for the record - that was NOT intentional!

I guess the house financing finally went through- that's so awesome! And besides the fact that it is now a peanut butter and jelly house- it's still yours! Todd and I laughed so hard at the imagery!!

I've missed talking with you. Hope you are well. We will talk soon. Love ya!

bwhaha! So does that mean at your house warming party the main entree will be artistically arranged PB&J sandwiches? Cause I think it should be.

Christmas in November

A lot of friends have been talking about how much they hate Christmas creeping into (or completely taking over) November. So I started thinking about the issue - because apparently it's a big one and obviously something I should be thinking about, right? I think Thanksgiving suffers from severe middle-child syndrome. Halloween comes first and is a little bit crazy but well recognized, highly celebrated and ridiculously loved. Then there's Christmas, the ever impatient youngest child who can't wait their turn...ever. Plus Christmas is the 'favorite' child - it's loved, celebrated, commercialized, overpriced and way over represented. And Thanksgiving just sits back and gets run over by these two crazy holidays on either side of it. It never complains when people forget it or when international businesses schedule important meetings that day (ugh...speaking from experience on that). Thanksgiving doesn't mind giving the lime light to the other two. Why? Becaus

Battle of The Bands

On my right is my boss - blasting classical Christmas music. On my left is my co-worker - blasting oldies in an effort to drown out the classical Christmas music. Then there's me - plugged into Pandora, listening to Adele "Someone Like You". And not only is the music blasting - but randomly, my co-worker starts singing along to her oldies station so my boss starts humming Christmas tunes really loudly. I sorta feel obligated to unplug my iPod and start singing out loud too. Too bad our other co-worker isn't here to blast and sing along to her Spanish tunes. That would be the icing on the cake.

The First Two Weeks

Monday: I love school. Tuesday: Just hang in there, it will be worth it in the end. Wednesday: I don't love school anymore. Thursday: I must be crazy to be doing this. I'm pretty sure I'm going to die. Find a happy place. Move to happy place and forget school. Friday: Ooh - it's Friday! No classes. That's a happy place. Sunday: Last week wasn't SO bad. I can do this. I love school. Yep. That about sums it up.
