What's to come ;)

Hey yall..   well I thought the new blog would be ready to work on before going back to work but the hosting is taking a little longer than I expected... The good news, I work four nights then I'm on day shift!  Whoop whoop... I totally totally LOVE my night shift crew but I HATE sleeping during the day... just too much my brain can be doing, right!  But anyways, nothing will be happening on here til Monday or Tuesday of next week, but... guess what!

I will be sharing lots of stuff on the new blog and there will be a link from here!
Like... hair tips (yep I have lots of both)
101 organizing... let's "de" clutter
recipes that I love that are SiMpLe to do!  *like pepper steak and rice*
and lots and lots more

Thank you all for the messages, they mean a lot and I hope you continue to follow me...
Have a blessed weekend :)

Hobo for dinner... ground beef covered w/potatoes and onions... seasoned to perfection of course!  I can't wait.  That's what's cookin...


ground beef
potatoes peeled and cut in fours
(I used five but it all depends on how many you are feeding)
onions peeled and cut in fours
(I used three here...)
seasoned with Lawry's Seasoning, garlic salt, salt and pepper

Baked at 400 degrees for 1 hour or until done!  Enjoy ;)

Two years old... nough said!

Good Morning bloggers... it's grandmothers week at school, lunch w/Cam yesterday, D today and Madison Thursday... to bad I don't care for the cafeteria food right!  Just another way to lose a pound ;) 

Well, I'm working on a totally "new" blog page so as I'm working this am I turn "the wonderful gma I am" to find the two year old "making a tattoo" as she calls it!  That would be my fault, laying in bed the other night I found myself designing tattoos on the arms and legs of children! Yep... I started that, now how do I stop it?   I got this!  A sheet of paper, a blank card and Whamo!  she's an artist now, just not on her leg!  Let's see for how long...

Dinner Time

Well what a day... busy busy busy! I love days that I just don't have to leave the house but today wasn't one of them.

I did finally manage to get home and got the dinner served...

Fried chicken, (left over lima beans), yummy creamy mac and chz (oh yeah!) and fried green tomatoes... seeing a pattern here? Well you have to get em while the gettings good!

Now if the "maid fairy" would show up I could sit back, kick up my heels and ReLaX... Hope you all have full bellies and happy hearts ;) Later!
I want sliding doors... everywhere, the bathroom door, the closet door, even a sliding door seperating the dining and kitchen even though I will never use it! So here are some ideas I found...

love the look of this... and she did them herself! Impressive I must say!

found the idea here http://www.myrepurposedlife.net/

Next we have these to the out doors... well I do want french doors and these would work!

Now I love some black, even though I'm scared of it, I'm determined to try it so this would be perfect for the room seperation especially against the lighter wall...

I love the look of this whole room you know!

This one has the windows above, finding a door like this won't be as easy but it sure would let light travel from room to room, especially for my closet!

I love the design of these doors... and the dark hardware really makes them pop!

and last but not least, the red door!  Just beautiful...
this site could not be found so I can't credit it to anything but pinterest at this time!

Well I have ideas... now I need to get "organized" and see what I shall do first!  Stay tuned!

Just shared my blogging news to my husband... oh the joy of seeing him smile

me  "honey, I have a new blog" 
Mike  "what's a blog"
me  "oh you know, I just update things happening around here, like em the projects you are doing so make sure you get them done"
Dinner was totally amazing... can't wait to eat leftovers! 

Oh I did!

Wait for it.... yes, I worked out last night!  I totally did Wii just dance and I broke a sweat!  Now that's impressive!  One week and night shift will be "down" and I will be "up" during the day... who's knows... I may lose those 8 pounds! 

What's for dinner!

Roast w/potatoes and onions, dried lima beans, fried green maters and sweet tea!  Yum!

Today, September 9, 2012

What a beautiful day... so I planned out lot's of things and as usual I can't do some because... well first, my sweet husband has the gas on the back of his truck!  So that means the grass will get even taller!  But he promises to cut it "himself" when he gets home for work!  We will just have to see!

So I have this pinterest fever!  Yep, found lots of Summer projects and guess what... Summer is almost over and they are still there....  But that's ok. I got this! 

Not getting much done on here so guess I will get up and get busy... I WILL get this blogging... just wait and see ;)
