Why is it...

that you don't think about taking a picture of something till much later? So today Mikaela and I head out to our usual lunch spot for a Christmas break at last lunch and then to Joann's to get the makings for a Mary and angel and 4 sheep costumes. Then I remembered that I have to head over to this other gals house to pick up some costumes we are borrowing from her. Well since Mikaela hadn't ridden in the new van yet she asked that I drive that today. We get to this house I get the Rubbermaid tote and then jump back in the van and start to back up. Then I hear this CRUNCH sound. So I stop and pull forward and hear this dragging sound. CRAP!!!!! Mikaela looks at me and says, "did you hit the recycle bin?" Yup!!! that is exactly what I hit and now it is wedged under my van and stuck on the bumper. So I am pushing and pulling this thing and it won't come loose so then Mikaela gets out and her and I together couldn't get it. Then this gal comes out. Which by the way I was praying didn't see me hit her recycle bin. She is laughing, Mikaela's laughing, I am laughing and we still can't get this bin undone from my back bumper. Finally we did and the gal looks at me and says, "now you know I am going to go inside and tell my son, that wouldn't of happened if you had taken it in 3 hours ago like I told you to." No damage to the van and well the recycle bin has a giant crack in it now. But all in all a great funny afternoon. I am so glad for people that don't get uptight about little things.

My wish list

Now this is by no means a buy these exact thing list. I figured I would gives some basic ideas and you can run from there. I am really getting into the shabby chic look for my kitchen. As you noticed in a previous post I have gotten a few things but I have a few more things I would love to have. These are just few. I like the white and the decorative look. I am also into anything that would go with my new Iphone. I really could use a case and I would absolutely love a docking station at home with speakers so I could use it here. Plus, my music was lost in our hard drive crash so an Itunes gift card would be absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! Now I also love my Cricut and I have a ton of cartidges that I would love to have. The ones I am posting here are ones I don't have and ones that I would like to someday own. I am puting them in the order, with the most wanted on top. PLEASE DON"T THINK THIS IS AN HAVE TO GET ME LIST! THIS IS JUST SUGGESTIONS OF THINGS THAT I AM INTO RIGHT N...

LOVE CRAIGSLIST

Since the new house has a room for each of the girls we ran into a slight problem. Basically how do you make two beds into three and one dresser into three. So I jumped on Craigslist this morning and found two twin size mattresses for $10 each and then another person had 2 box springs for $5 for both. I also found two dressers, nice ones at that for $20 and $40. So I furnished two rooms for $85. We already have a twin bed frame. So I figured I will keep my eyes open for another twin bed frame and keep the bunk beds together so that we have a spare bed for visitors. YES, I expect everyone to come stay with us at least once, we are the cool people. Kalaree is going to refinish (paint) one of the dressers and the bed frame that we have now for her beehive project. How cool is that. Not only does she now have a dresser but she also now has her beehive project to do. WOO HOO!!!!! I am really quite proud of myself to get all this stuff for such a great price and now I don't have to worry...

LOVE craigslist.

I was doing my usual cruise through craigslist tonight when I stumbeld upon a find. A family in a neighboring town is moving and needed to get rid of their loveseat. Slightly sunfaded is how they discribed it but it was free. Well to my surprise when I scrolled down to look guess what I found.... Yup the exact match to our living room set. It is sunfaded, it even looks purple in spots. But hey ours is not in the best of shape either so who cares. So now we finally have enough seats in our living room to have everyone sit without someone being on the floor or a kitchen chair.
