Light it up!

We were looking for some pendant lighting for the kitchen at the local home store. We found absolutely NOTHING. We've started looking online but it's so hard to tell what the quality is and how it will look.

Our friend, L, got all of her lighting online and it's great stuff. Plus, they had great customer service too. She received a piece that was broken and not only sent her the piece but sent her a whole new fixture.

Housewives of BH.

Seriously? Shawna's watching this crap and it's HORRIBLE. They constantly fight and in the end they kiss and make up. Now we're watching the reunion show. More fighting, tears, and I'm sure they're going to make up in the end.

*barf*

Weekend off.

I love it when I have a weekend that we actually get out and do fun stuff. Today we went out to Corning and went to the Museum of Glass. It was so much fun. Shawna and Graem did a cool wind chime and then we went to this great Indian buffet that came highly recommended by our Indian friends in Ithaca.

Tomorrow. Work.

Scoped.

The other day S went on a job site and saw that the guy had a couch in his living room looking out over a field and a rifle on the couch. That's right. He was shooting at deer from his living room window.

I think she mentioned he had some Nikon rifle scopes. It's interesting that all of the camera companies also specialize in microscopes, rifle scopes, and telescopes. I guess once you have the idea down and magnification then you can use it for all kind of different uses.

Snow.

It's snowing outside and I think we're usppose to get another inch or so. Of course, we really need new tires for the Matrix. It skids through intersections and I pray everytime I step in the car that I'm going to get to my destination safely.

Sausage

Today I got dressed and I swear I looked like a sausage. I tried on three different shirts and all of them fit bad. I've looked into thermogenic fat burners. It seems like for the little weight loss that I need it might be the perfect solution for me.

What would also help is combining a workout or two into the week. I know I should do it but already I don't know where my time goes and I feel like half the time I'm chasing my tail.

I just need 6 more hours in each day and I think I might be able to fit in everything I need to do.

Meetings.

Work is kicking my butt. It doesn't matter how much I work I feel like I'm always behind. The good thing is I know it's job security and even during these hard economic times I know I'll still have a job.

Tonight for Shawna's birthday I'll be at a meeting. We did Indian food last night and it was yummy. She also ordered a jacket for herself from patagonia so her present is covered too.

Hang in there computer!

Our Dell laptop is on it's last leg. I hope that it can make it another year but I'm just not sure. We replaced the display and week by week it gets dimmer and dimmer and I know that there's going to be a day when we can't see anything at all!

I've been looking at top netbooks and after we get the house finished I'm going to take the dive and get a new computer!

Vacation?

I'm trying to figure out a time to take some vacation. I have a ton saved up and I really want to take a week off or so and spend with the kids. I keep looking online for some cheap deals during the fall breaks but nothing has been that cheap.

We even talked about heading to NYC for a few days and spending time with my uncle and aunt.

Playroom done!

We finished up the playroom last week. It looks incredible. Of course, we have to work on patching up some of the trim. Then we have to work on saving money so that we can put new carpet in the playroom.

We ended up going with a nice laminate flooring in the playroom closet. It works perfect and actually feels warmer now.

The kids have been spending so much time in the room playing and it's nice to have space that is just for them.

Too too much.

I've been working so much it isn't even funny. Yesterday SHawna spent the day at work. Now it's my turn to work for most of the day. I'm exhausted and I haven't had much vacation this year at all.

Last night we had a bathroom explosion and finally fixed the clogged toilet at 11:30pm. Sucked.
