The Martha Stewart Living magazine got into my hands this weekend with a pretty tissue paper pom pom heart wreath. I thinks to myself, "Self...you can do that, no problem." The name of the game around here lately for decorations is spend zero dollars, use what I have. Martha must think I'm a millionaire because she suggested using 24 3M adhesive hooks on...
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and it is time to get some decorations up around the house. I feel a little weird putting up the hearts and such in January but V-Day is one of those holidays that doesn't get a whole month leading up to it to enjoy decorations so you gotta get 'em up early if you wanna enjoy...
Look what arrived on my doorstep this past week. While I wish I could say this was some great find as part of my goal to start searching out great pieces at local Goodwill's and antique stores, I can't. It was my boyfriend's mother who found it. A woman she works for was getting rid of it and Chris' mom had no room...
My Birchbox arrived last week and I was so giddy about opening it up and playing with all the goodies that I nearly forgot to tell you all about it. If you ever want to give a really awesome gift, give one that repeats itself every month. While I love getting high-end beauty samples that I otherwise wouldn't know about, I'm pretty sure...
One of my assignments this week in my grad. class is to pick just one word to describe yourself and why you picked it. It was more difficult that I anticipated. There are the laundry list of words I have developed to use during interviews, no joke, have been asked to describe myself in three words or less on almost every interview I've...
3 hours, 25 minutes. 305 minutes. You can do a lot in that amount of time, watch Titanic, drive from St. Louis to Cape Girardeau and eat a nice dinner at BG's, paint a small room, even read a good chunk of a book. Never in a million years would I imagine that 3 hours and 25 minutes would be how long it...
Goodness gracious! Has anyone else's new year just been crazytown? I swear it has been go go GO since last week. This week started out with parent-teacher conferences on a Monday (never a good idea) in which a whopping one parent attended. Tuesday was supposed to start off with a 7am department meeting but was cancelled last second but I still got to...
So have you updated to the Timeline on Facebook yet? It's pretty cool. I can't believe I've been on the ol' FB for 7 years now. It was fun to go back and look at the many good times I had back in college. What I find most intriguing about the new update is the ability to add a "cover" to your profile....
The first week of January is in the books and I'm already kicking butt in completing my goals for the new year, well, some of them. Still struggling with getting off the couch after going back to work but I did manage to work out twice this week. It's better than nothing :) The goal I am kicking some boo-tay on is adding...
