Yeah That Happened

That's red nail polish. Ryan broke a bottle of it on the floor.....At least it was in the bathroom!

Progress...

So the biggest question in our house right now...HOW DO YOU UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THE FREE PAPER??? Seriously. I am asking. I really don't want to get the Forysth County News and Review (I actually don't know if that is the real name because I promptly throw it in the trash when I get it). But I promise, I know how these papers work, I spent some time in this field. There are three people on staff and they are running press releases sent by overzealous media folk so basically the whole thing is a big ad with sports highlights....don't care. But what we HATE is the whoever delivers in throws in and the END of our driveway (yes, we are just that lazy). And there is more than one free paper, so we are getting like 5 a week. And lately it has been raining ALOT soooo it turns into a big gooey mess. And if anyone knows how to unsubscribe to the free paper, do you think you can unsubscribe your neighbors too? Because my neighbors don't care about their paper and let it set on their grass forever before picking it up...and it gets super yucky.

In other news, I have noticed that people who have lived in their homes for a while seem to have everything unpacked and things hung on the wall and stuff. I figure that once I live in this house for a while the same thing will happen to me....except that would require that I made a LITTLE progress. Seriously, we still have boxes in almost every room. So how to you eat an elephant? ONE BITE AT A TIME!! I decided to start with the dining room, I thought it would be the easiest. In typical me fashion, I think I have bitten off more than I can chew with my very lofty ideas....you know, that I will simply do things that I have to idea how to do and that it will all work out. But I took a before picture, and I am posting here that I am working on it to hold myself somewhat accountable. I plan to have made substantial progress by tax day (April 15th) so check back then!!

1st Step

Isn't the first step admitting you have a problem. Well here it is, I am obsessed with Costco. Yeah, prety much I love that store...alot. In fact I spend a ton of time on Costco.com just checking things out. And seriously, I like just talking about that store. I mean hello, it's awesome. I fully bonded with a girl in our new ward because she loves Costco too (though I doubt as much as me!) I love to read the Costco Connection (it's their totally self-promting magazine that I read cover to cover) AND I was THRILLED to learn in the Costco Connection that they would be bringing back the chocolate and almond ice cream bar, I enjoyed one today, much to my and Ryan's satisfaction. I have found that they sell EVERYTHING at Costco. In fact, I have thought A LOT about items that they DON'T sell...there aren't many, in fact I have thought of two currently...fabric by the yard (and other sewing accesories, not to be confused with sewing machines because they do sell those) and fences. I am in the market for a fence (to fence my child in and my neighbors out, don't I sound so friendly :) and so I noticed that you can't buy a fence from Costco...yet. Perhaps I should make this suggestion. As I have mentioned before, Costco does sell caskets, but I did notice when reading the frequently asked questions (I was looking for the answer to whether the purchaser must be a Costco member or if they could use the deceased membership card) that they DON'T ship caskets to Georgia. Soooo....if I am in need of a casket while living in Georgia, I also would not be able to get that at Costco.



Yeah, so I like Costco...and I don't see an end in sight, because I feel that it is a healthy addiction :)



Another shout out goes to this man.

I think of him every year right around this time. You see, one of my FAVORITE days of the year is DAYLIGHT SAVINGS. I think it is wonderful. I love when it is light outside for longer, and it feels like the beginning of spring. And EVERY year as a child I would wish that daylight saving could be longer....actually I would wish that it could be all year however, if that happened then I wouldn't get the joy each year of SPRINGING forward. And back in 2005 this dude signed a bill EXTENDING daylight saving for an additional 3 weeks on either end. So thanks President Bush. You are awesome. I will be thanking you again in October when I get to enjoy daylight savings for an additional 3 weeks!! Did you know in some states they don't participate in daylight savings? First of all, get with the program and stop trying to be different...Secondly, sucks to be you, you are missing out on one of the best things about spring!
