Baths

I never used to take baths, unless I had cramps, but lately I have discovered the beauty of taking a great bath, with candles & bubbles. So relaxing. One thing I had thought was how great it could be if you could have some wine, or a nice cold drink in the bath, and maybe read a book or magazine...and then I discovered this item, on the new blog I posted about....




...wow its great! I may be behind the times about discovering this item, but I am excited to see that they exist. This one is a bit pricey, but at least now I can keep my eyes peeled for a similar invention.

HGTV meet Internet

So, I love being on the computer, but I have found that I really only spend time on 3 main sites, hotmail, facebook & the blog, which can get boring if you aren't getting emails, or facebook chatting or viewing any new blog posts, or feeling creative or energetic to post yourself. Since the internet has such a vast array of sites and knowledge I thought about what I love to do. A main thing that came to mind was watching home shows on HGTV...so this made me think, maybe I should check out their website... and sure enough it led me to much excitement. In particular there is a great blog, which I now have linked in my blog, which posts frequently on various home decorative ideas and the like. If you are at all like me you will enjoy this site, especially if you mainly spend your time on facebook, hotmail and blogger. This will broaden your horizons to include 4 sites in an internet window at a time. Woo Hoo.

We Did it We are Official Out.

Wow. Moving is hard work...but we made it and we are alive and well. I didn't even cry when we left our first home. I am kind of nostalgic that way, however I think I am so tired now that maybe the tears will come later. Anyway here are a few photos of our last night and day in our place.

Moving

The past few days Jeremiah and I have been working hard as we are officially to be out of our place by Saturday. Moving is so much work...and we are tired and greasy. Its sad to be leaving our first place as a married couple as we have some fond memories here, however there are certain things about it that we won't miss like the expensive rent and moistness/darkness of its basementness.

We have decided to move to Jeremiah's parents basement suite indefinitely. We were originally going to move there until after we get back Hawaii in January, as they were going to relieve us from rent for the fall Sept-Dec, however we have decided to stay when we get back too as it will be nice to not have to struggle and move again in Jan, plus we are getting a nice deal on rent! Thanks rents! The suite is so new and cute, and I will post some pics when we get settled in.

Here is us tired and greebly, and some pics of the old place. We have much to do still, carpet guy will be here tomorrow at noon. Ahhhhh.

GOOD NEWS COMBINED WITH CRAFTS AND GIRL TIME = GREAT FUN

I am not sure if I am allowed to officially post this yet....so I will leave names out, but my cousin got engaged this weekend (that'll probably give you a hint :) ). So this is very good news!!! And with good news comes opportunities to craft together fun cards. Today my friend Mel was over, so I shared my love of paper and fabric with her and helped her make a beautiful card and a cute decorative pillow. It was great. Sometimes I go whole days without accomplishing much...like maybe being on facebook all day, which I like... but today I rediscovered crafts, and I LOVE them. So hopefully I can split my time between my two loves: computer & crafts... well maybe three loves, I guess I should include the love of my life, Jeremiah. Anyway, if anyone feels like crafting, or making fun cards, let me know. I'll hook you up. Have a creative day.

HELP

I figured out how to add this clock as a post, but I can't seem to add it to my actual blog, anyone know how?

DISHES



This is not a picture of my kitchen...but unfortunately this is what it often looks like. The problem being is I hate doing dishes. Once in awhile when my parents come to visit, they always clean up my house and do my dishes. It looks so beautiful...and for awhile I do well, doing the dishes everyday almost making myself believe I love doing dishes...but soon enough life gets busy and I remember...I HATE DISHES. We don't have a dishwasher, which I believe would solve many a problems.

Not only do I hate dishes, but I HATE when you bring yourself to do the dishes and the sink is full of nasty water...so I bring up the courage to drain it and wash the sink to begin the horrid task of dishwashing only to find a massively clogged drain!!!! GRRRRRR. So I go to the INTERNET. I love the internet because it can solve so many problems.

I discovered the pouring baking soda down the drain followed by vinegar move, which you then let sit for 15-20 minutes and pour down boiling hot water to de-GUNK-i-fy!!!!!

It actually kind of worked. I feel pretty proud of myself. I wish someone were here to be proud of me too.

So if you find yourself in my situation, #1 you are not alone #2 Try this sweet baking soda trick if you didn't already know about it! It's great!

P.S. In 3 weeks we are moving to Jer's parents basement apartment suite....and I must NOTE they have a dishwasher down there..... Hmmmm dreamin :)
