Weekend Wrap Up

We had a pretty good weekend in all...not too much going on but not a complete waste either.

Friday night was pretty low key. I did my regular Target run to pick up a little something for a project that I have been wanting to do for about a month now. We have double doors leading from our bedroom into the living room, I recently put some new curtains on them but I wanted something a little more. Then I came across this post on TDC's blog and I immediately wanted to do it on my doors. I had everything I needed and got to work....I did it exactly how she did hers and guess what...it looked like complete crap!! I was sooo pissed! Then I tried it a couple of different ways and nothing...there were all kinds of lines & scratches and no matter how I did it, it just didn't look good!! I decided to give up {for the time being, I will get it to look good eventually} so we decided to go to Pizza Hut for supper, which wasn't the best idea. For starters we got there and the parking lot was almost completely full...the only time I've ever seen it like that was during lunch for the buffet! We stayed anyways, walked in and waited at least 15 minutes to be seated while the workers just kept looking at us!! It was worth it though, for some reason I'm in love with the salad there so once I got that I was happy! When we got home Keegan asked if the football game was on TV...he was pretty excited about it because they talked about it at school that day and each kid got to pick which team they thought was going to win. Part of the conversation went a little like this:

Ryan: Who do you think is going to win?
Keegan: The suckers
Ryan: Do you mean the Packers?
Keegan: Ya, the Packers!

HAHAHA....I love when he says stuff like that!!

Saturday was spent doing stuff around the house. I finally decided to tackle the project of shredding all our paper stuff that has any kind of account numbers, etc. on it. Well, I came to the conclusion that I either need to a. buy a new shredder or b. shred more often!! It took me almost two freakin hours to get it all done because the shredder got too hot like 5 times and I would have to wait for it to cool off before I could keep shredding. In the end, I ended up with a whole garbage bag full of shredded paper....I think I even had some stuff from the end of 2009 in there! Whoops! That night we went out to celebrate Josh's 30th birthday and had a great time with some pretty great friends!! It's always nice when we get a chance to be able to get out with friends! I think the guys had the best time when they decided to buy the whole jar of pickled eggs and convinced people to eat them.

Sunday was a sleep in late, eat greasy food {and lots of peach pie} and do nothing kind of day. We watched the first half the Super Bowl at the in-laws house and headed home to watch the rest of the game. It turned out Keegan was right, the suckers Packers ended up winning and he was happy to hear that this morning! I have to say that I was not impressed with the half time show at all!! I'm a big BEP fan so I was expecting something really good and was definitely let down. Yes, the sound was off but so was Fergie's voice! She did not sound good at all, which really surprised me because they were amazing when I saw them live. The best part of the show was when Usher came out...I love the way he moves and he is definitely easy on the eyes! The only thing that would have been better is if he would have taken his shirt off!!

Just Let It All Out

Hellloooo Friday!! Even though it has been a short work week {thanks to all of the ice/snow that is still laying on the ground} I'm sooo happy that today is Friday and at 3:30 I have another two days off of work!! Yesterday was my first full day of work all week and let me tell you, it felt like I was sitting at my desk forrreeevvvveeerrrr, like seriously the time was just barely crawling by!! Don't worry though, a short work week doesn't mean less confessions!!

I confess that Keegan took a bath last night for the first time in...well, I don't know how long exactly, it's been a really long time!! He is a shower kind of kid so he always takes showers but last night I convinced him to take a bath and he loved it!

I confess that I used Dawn dish soap to create bubbles in Keegan's bath last night!! He wanted bubbles and we didn't have any actual bubbles since he doesn't take baths so I had to be creative...Ryan thought I was absolutely crazy but I assured him that I'm not the first person to ever do it...right?! Plus, Keegan smelled really good afterwards!

I confess that I have checked to see what time it is like 394587 times already this morning...why you ask...because Taylor Swift tickets go on sale at 10 and I want some and I already have the Ticketmaster page open & ready to go, all I have to do is hit the refresh button!! Man, when did I become such a crazy T. Swift fan, I use to hate the girl?!

I confess that I'm not telling my hubby that I'm planning on buying the tickets!!

I confess that I let Keegan sleep in our bed the other night. Let me explain though...it was 1 am and Ryan was on the couch {I had a migraine so he let me have the bed to myself so I could get some good sleep, such a sweet guy} so I figured it wouldn't hurt anything. Well at about 3 I woke up on the very edge of the bed and Keegan glued to my back...seriously, I couldn't roll over without smashing him, so I got up and went to his bed and went back to sleep! Yep, I was in Keegan's twin size bed, Ryan was on the couch & Keegan was in our queen sized bed!

I confess that I stopped in the middle of typing this post to get tickets...and no such luck! I like Taylor's music but I'm NOT spending $82.50 for a ticket in the nosebleed seats....you're welcome Ryan!

I confess that I've been drinking regular Dr. Pepper a lot more lately...I usually stick the with diet but I've noticed that the regular helps with my headaches.

I confess that I bought something for the toy room {even though I probably shouldn't have considering that Ryan hasn't worked all week and that will hurt the checkbook} and I'm really excited about it!! Want to see what I got?! Ok, I'll show you...



If that is not the cautest thing ever for a toy room then I don't know what is!! It is one of those vinyl stick on the wall things that I'm obsessed with & I've been wanting to get it since the first time I saw it a couple of months ago!! Those aren't the colors though...you will have to wait to find out what colors I actually got!!

I confess that I'm super excited about going out tomorrow night....it's been a while since Ryan & I have actually gone out together and with friends!

Your turn....what are you going to confess to this week?!

Two Things for Thursday


Today's two things for Thursday topic is: what 2 songs do you currently love the most?

1. "Never Grow Up" by Taylor Swift. Without a doubt this is my #1 favorite song right now! The first time I ever heard it, I cried so I used it for Keegan's slide show of his 3 year pictures....the first time I saw the video I cried my eyes out, seriously I had to stop half way through. Every single time Keegan hears this song now he says "Mommy that's my song with all my pictures!"

2. Pretty much every other song on T. Swift's newest CD...except #10. For some reason I can't get past the first line of the song so I skip it every time it comes on!

What about you, what are you two favorite songs to listen to right now?!

I'm Just Sayin...

I know...I'm a day late with the just sayin's but oh well, better late than never right?! I stayed home the last two days because of the ice and because every time I turned the news on they were saying not to leave your house unless you absolutely have to or if it's an emergency and I since you are suppose to "respect your elders" that's what I did!! I would like to say that I was really productive the last couple of days but that would probably be stretching the truth some, although I did manage to get some stuff done besides cleaning! I we finally got all most of Keegan's toys into the newly finished toy room in the basement {I will get pictures up here of it someday}. I also rearranged Keegan's bedroom after taking out some shelves and I must say that it looks much better now! The doors in the toy room got painted too...and can I just add that I'm never painting another door again...ever!! I don't know why but it was such a tedious task and after having to do four of them I was practically cussing Ryan out when I was finished...he definitely got some nasty looks thrown his way too! Anyways...let's get back on track here, today I'm just sayin....

  • "clipping" coupons online when you're starving is not a good idea...it just makes you even more hungry and wanting to eat every single food you see!
  • having to work for a full day after being off for 2 and only working half a day before that really sucks
  • I look forward to lunch every day, not just because I get to eat but because that's when I read my Cosmo magazine & I love me some Cosmo!
  • my child is a genius...seriously he is
  • gas prices suck...I really don't enjoy spending $56 to fill up my tank
  • I'm counting down the minutes until lunch because I am starving and I can't wait to eat
  • my dvr is my bff...without it I wouldn't be able to go to bed super early and still be able to watch my favorite shows
Your turn...what are you just sayin today?!
