10 on Tueday (plus 1 = 11)

1. Organization is not my strong point. Whenever I get things straight in my mind, then I'm at work or church or somewhere where I can't begin to implement my newly thought out plan...

2. For lunch today, I had the best black bean burger. I just hate that it's at a restaurant where they deliver your food, so thus I must deliver a tip. $7 lunches can't keep happening (burger was only $5 but with tax and tip, up to $7)

3. We're having a spa day at work. Really glad I stuck it out... Now after spa day, I make no promises. hehehe just kidding (sort of)

4. This morning I found a rat's nest in the back of my head (the object to curly hair is not to comb it... also the downfall) and proceeded to define what that was to kj as I contemplated having him shave my head.

5. I'm horrible about getting things in the mail... those of you waiting for packages know this about me...

6. I give my People magazines to my neighbor when I finish reading them, but I can never remember to right down the "Book Picks" for future reference. Would it be wrong to march next door and ask to see the pages I had dog-eared?

7. We have 2 sets of neighbors. A) The one mentioned above who are nice and courteous (Them: um, do you mind if our dog runs across your yard. Us: No, of course not). and then B) The others not the least be concerned about neighbor etiquette (Um, we bought our son a set of golf clubs for Cmas, do you mind if he pars in your yard towards your house... - this conversation did not take place, but the action does.)

8. Pic to show that the above happens. I've taken the liberty of circling the ball in pink and showing it's distance from our window. sheesh!


9. I used to create forms all the time, at this very moment I'm avoiding and have been avoiding doing this very task at work for about 2 weeks now... shameful...

10. Are you the least bit surprised that my house does not have a formal Super Bowl Sunday plan? I am! I'm sure that I will be briefed on a plan later, but for now, my football engulfed luv is undecided on just how we're spending the blessed event. (insert eye-rolling)

11. Saw the best movie last night. Duma. Highly recommend, if you're into that Discovery, Animal Planet, Born Free kind of thing (yep, again, I know I'm a dork.)

Happy Tuesday all!

Gotta love a tag!

1. What did you do in 2006 that you've never done before? Got married. ;-)

2. Did anyone close to you give birth? Yep, Kendi had my precious baby S

3. Did anyone close to you die? A few great aunts, but they were older and I believe had lived full lives.

4. What countries did you visit? LOL none other than the US. On Jan 2nd we were in the Bahamas... guess that doesn't count

5. What would you like to have in 2007 that you lacked in 2006? A fully decorated house. I'm a firm believer in enjoying what you put into something and if I wait too long I may do all our painting and updating for someone else to buy...

6. What dates from 2006 will remain etched upon your memory and why? Um, nothing but the wedding readily pops in mind, but I don't want to sound like my life revolved around me getting married (life is wonderful b/c of so many things/people)... plus my memory is horrible at times and needs a little jogging. Feel free to jog if we had a date/memory and I didn't chime up here... ;-)

7. Did you suffer illness or injury? Just a little intolerance to lactose... sigh... this ole' body

8. Who's behavior merited celebration? All my girls (childhood, bham, out of state... so glad that you can calm the spaz in me), kj and my sister (yep brit, i'm proud of you, don't always understand you, but still proud to be your sister)

9. Who's behavior made you appalled and depressed? No one comes to mind. Guess that's a really good thing. Kj's really helped me to realize that people are people...

10. Where did most of your money go? Ummm, home stuff I think. Oh yes and gas (a 45min commute to and from is no joke)

11. What did you get really excited about? Buying a house. 2 people just aren't meant to live in a 1 bd/1 ba apartment peacefully

12. Compared to this time last year, are you, a) happier or sadder, b) thinner or heavier, c) richer or poorer? Happier (with some things, missing some others...), heavier (yep, that's all I'm going to say to that one), richer

13. What was your favorite TV show? Grey's Anatomy, Girlfriends, One Tree Hill, Lost (07 we're picking um right back up), Talk Soup (garbage tv I know, but I'm addicted to celebrity news... satisfies the curiousity in me...)

14. What was the best book you read? In 06? I really don't remember... hummm... Oh I know, Memoirs of a Geisha. Hate I read the book first. Made the movie horrible to me. Really should watch the movie, then read the book. That way you can enjoy both... That's what I'm going to do with Pursuit of Happiness, and what I'm currently doing with In Her Shoes. Books are the BEST! (yep, I'm a dork...)

15. Is there someone or something you missed this past year? My family & friends (a state line does make a difference)

16. What did you do on your birthday and how old were you? KJ was out of town so I worked and then treated myself to a sushi dinner. 26

17. What kept you sane? The Lord and good friends

18. What is one new thing you'd like to accomplish this year? Hummm, so many. sewing, completing some long overdue projects, and one lil one I'm keeping a secret

19. If you could do one thing this year and not get chastised by or for it, what would you do? By chasitised I'm taking that as reap no negative reprocussions, and I'd say quit my job, open a pottery store and freelance design fun projects. Love being my own boss and working my own timelines...

20. If you could meet one blogger in 2007, who would you want to meet? So many: Tasha, JJ, Elizabeth D., The Image is Found photographer family, Erin's little Pigbear, and I could always use some one on one with my girls Tricey and Colleen (my Colein).

Happy Thursday all!

Hey hey hey! It's 10 on Tuesday!

1) Had a wonderful weekend. Lots of Women vs Men competition (air hockey- this was woman vs woman and I kicked Liz's bootie, bowling - the men bearly inched into a win, cards- no details here, the wound is still too fresh)! Great times, great times.
Here's Liz and I doing our Cmas:


2) KJ surprised me with a stay here for our anniversary. Absolute Luxury!

3) Hosted a Brainstorming meeting at work this morn. (Went well if I do say so myself) Finally some responsibility!!!!!

4) Last night my husband's bball team stomped their competition 72-41. (The really impressive part is that there were only 5 of them which means a whole game with no substitutions. Talk about tired)

5) I'm about to burst with hunger (is that possible) but I'm determined to get this posted before I do lunch.

6) Went to Books A Million last night and remembered how intoxicating the smell of new books is. I'm pretty sure it's laced with something to make you WANT to run up and down the aisles like a banshee grabbing every wonderfully designed cover. or is that just me?

7) This game was on sale ($20) at BAM and I want it sooo bad. It's definitely a girl game, or atleast a game that I envision being best when played with my equally food-obsessed girlfriends. Yep, headed back over to get it this weekend...

8) Mental note: Move girlfriends across the state line so growing board game stack does not become lost under dust (from no use, not bad housekeeping, hehehe). Any takers???

9) A coworker went to the Dr and brought us all back one of these. I'm constantly amazed at the food combinations that make my mouth water, just from the sound alone...


10) Melon wrapped in prosciutto sounds so nasty to me, but I love the ham and pineapple combo on a pizza. Weird? I think not! Oh yeah, so does sugar free tofu jello!!!! (Notice it kind of cut off at the bottom of the pink circle. YUCK!)


Happy Tuesday All!

BIG weekend

this weekend, she


is coming to see me. She's MY Liz and there are no words to describe how her visit makes me want to do a fantastically spastic body contorting happy dance.

Also...
1 year ago on Sunday (the 21st) this couple:


was doing this:


Really... it's been a year?!?!?! hehehe
Here's to many more my love, many more...

ummm... i seem to have fallen behind....

heheheh! HELLLLOOOOOO out there! It's been a month. I know, I know, a month. So instead of boring you with lots of typing (that will come later), get ready for a montage of pics (and a few descriptive captions). This post should come much to my sister's delight, who only checks this every blue moon on her way to myspace and promptly moves on if she scrolls down and sees no pics... hehehe love you brit (but that's more for those of you who read, so could someone pass my little message on to my sis...)!

Now briefly here are the things I will tickle your peepers with:
1) Alana and Roc's visit
2) Cmas Eve
3) Cmas Day
4) New Year's/ Early Anniversary Cruise
5) Youth Trip/ Stopping by Lana-lana's

Yep, that covers Dec and Jan up til now...
