Merry Christmas! Like my shoe tree? You've heard of them before, haven't you?!
I'm off to South Africa in the morning -- will put up pictures when I get back. Sorry if your christmas cards arrive late!

Oh my aching hands! I got this bright idea I'd save money by tearing out my own carpet and burn off a little energy that way. I kept thinking to myself how proud I'd be that I did something with my own hands and all that stuff. That lasted for about an hour or so, and then my hands and legs were absolutely killing me and I wasn't very far into what I thought should be an easy project. After booking a massage appointment, I realized that if I got a massage for every 1 hour of work I put in, I wasn't going to be saving much money after all! And my hands - oh those poor little things are just as red and raw as can be, and I was even wearing gloves! So - phooey on do-it-myself-ing and hooray for hiring it done! In other happy news, I was finally able to decide on paint colors today with the help of an interior design lady and the painting and carpeting should be done before I get back. Woo hoo! I even picked out a type and a color of carpet! I've had my first mea...

Time well wasted I didn't seem to have anything better to do tonight so I went to blogthings.com and found out all sorts of things about myself thanks to their quizzes!! I am too picky and too choosy, which is apparently why I don't have a boyfriend. I could still pass 8th grade math, science, and geography. As a pinup I'm most like Betty Grable. I'm a purple crayon, yet my lucky love color is black, and my inner color is yellow. As a woman's shoe, I am a big black heel.

iCooked Hooray - I got my cooking project done!  It took the better part of the day and I was proud that I only had to make 2 extra trips to the Safeway store down the street!  I'll skip the details. Anyhow, over the next month or week or whatever, I'll have lots of food essentially ready for me when I come home!  I hope I like how it tastes!  It can't help but beat running to the grocery store 2-3+ times a week and wandering around aimlessly until I wind up in the frozen section once again eating stuff I don't really like but settle for due to the fact it takes 8 minutes to heat up. Today I made Mexican Lasagne, White Chicken Chili, Chicken Nuggets, Marinated Flat Iron Steak, Swedish Meatballs, Pork Chops, French Bread Pizza, Texas Skillet, and Chicken Scalloppinne something-or-other.  I'll keep you posted on how it all works out.
