Come on summer!

I just know you can do it. Arrive already! We have yummy things to use!

And my toe nails are all painted, ready for flip flops and a toe ring. Also, my sporty brace to help my foot not hurt needs to be seen. Alright, not so much on that last part, but maybe it will become a new fashion trend. Like wearing one glove.

Wasted Weekend

By Aimee, May 24, 2010 8:48 am

The weekend was a bit of a waste. It was cold, and rainy, making yard work a bit tough (wet grass and lawn mowers don’t mix). Now it’s snowing (see post below)! However, even if it hadn’t been cold, I was feeling awful and not like doing anything at all on Saturday.

When we were installing our faucet awhile ago, I was under the sink trying to tighten something that Heath couldn’t reach. I wasn’t even in an odd position, but something in my neck felt like it popped, and a hot pain went all the way through it. It hurt so much, the pain even went into my jaw and my shoulder. I still am not sure what happened (pinched nerve?), but ever since then there are times when it hurts again. Saturday the pain woke me up, and it nagged at me all day. Later on my tum decided to get in on the action, and so I was pretty much out of commission the entire day.

The weekend wasn’t a total loss though, we didn’t get to do anything super fun out of the house, but we didn’t have to look too far for some excitement. The first iris of the season came out:

Four fighter jets flying in formation flew over us many times and were visible from the backyard. They were loud! And amazing. I still don’t know why they were flying over, but it was such a sight to see!

Lots of house dreaming and planning, especially about our next project. Any guesses? Here’s a fairly huge hint:

And a bit of rearranging in preparation for a new pet goldfish (more about that later, kind of fun and interesting, and deserves it’s own post). How was your weekend?

Umm… hi!

Oh boy, what has it been, like a day? And already I am thinking “what was I thinking”!

So, after deciding to retire this blog, and letting that marinate for a whopping 24 hours, my mind starts going. What about my 101 in 1001 list? What about Project Hoop? Photography projects and other crafty pursuits? And let’s not forget all the books I still need to review. Throw in all the funny random things that I love to share that have nothing to do with anything else on my other blogs and well, you can see where I am going with this. I can’t retire my personal blog! What was I thinking?

Looks like sanity is over rated after all. ;)

Saving up.

Saving up my spare change for a few things on my wish list. First thing? The Stratton Bed (with drawers) from Pottery Barn. It’s going to take a whole lot of change before that becomes a reality! Unless my handy hubby can build us something like it, after all, our current bed is being held up by books!

Second wish list item, a gym membership. Yep, I actually really love working out. Especially going to fun aerobics and dance classes. I miss having a membership, it’s been far too long. I wonder if my coin jar can hold enough change for this wish?

Oh, and my coin jar is super fun. It counts the money as it goes in, so we know exactly how much we have in the jar. As long as no one sneaks any out that is. Mine is actually pink, not silver like this coin jar, but they work the same! :)

What are you saving up for?
