Here is Madison's room.

The stove/microwave kitchen

Sink/Dishwasher kitchen. To the left is the Sunroom

The livingroom

I heart the fanglass over the front door

It looks dark (the other picture is true) but shows more detail.

More to follow. I've got a very busy day ahead of me!

Here is my clinique perfume, see how much i've got and the new one and the box of Godiva. I stopped and got us dinner (marinated ribeye w/ garlic mashed potatoes & salad for him, Fettucine Mosaic (w/ grilled chicken & shrimp) for me and corndog nuggets/fries for Maddie. It was SO GOOD.

Ever did something nice that just makes you smile? Could be something big, could be something very small. I did, this week and I'm so glad I did! I am a true believer in karma and hopefully what goes around comes back around in that my moving this week-end is smooth and relatively headache-free! I'll be off tomorrow so no blog post from me until probably Monday. Have a wonderful week-end all.

Also I'll be MIA for most of this morning but I should be able to get around to reading your blogs this afternoon. The Milwaukee peeps had to come to Carolina (instead of me having to go there HAH! and on V-Day no less).

Today is the day when a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of... wait, um, er that would be Spring wouldn't it?
Anyway Love is in the Air!
I'm usually slightly disappointed on Valentines Day. I don't know WHAT I expect but obviously I always expect too much. I did get a big box of Godiva chocolates (which I LOVE) but he also got me a big bottle of Clinique Happy perfume. Anyway this will be a day i'll be glad when it is OVER. I get sick of seeing all of the flowers/balloons/stuffed animals here at work. Jealousy is a beeyotch isn't she? hehe...... Hey at least i'm HONEST if nothing else!
I looked longingly at the Roses online last night. The sterling ones are gorgeous!
One last question to my dear blogging buddies.
Will you be my Valentine? *kisses*

Good Monday Morning! How was everybody's week-end? I went shopping for the house. We bought a new mattress set. Ugh. Why didn't anybody warn me how expensive mattresses are? Moreso than the actual BED. I'll be getting my gorgeous cherry sleigh bed this week. I can't wait! We also chose a cocoa brown microfiber suede couch. I think Reilly will like it (must take the dogs comfort into consideration since he will lay on it far more than we actually will!). I also chose new bed linens. Wow I also did not realize there were so many thread counts. I know the higher, the better but I got 300. That's good enough for me. Our duvet is beautiful, pink & chocolate. I'll take pics probably this week-end. Madison is going to stay with her Aunt Buffy and she's really excited about that. When she comes home it will be to a new house and a brand new big girl bed with Strawberry Shortcake bedding. Well let me know how your week-end was. What you did/where you went. I want details people. Details *grin*

Kiss Me Baby!

Madison got some Valentines Mail from Aunt Buffy. A ring pop with lips!

Is there anything better than a package in the mail? I think not!

I love getting stuff in the mail. The last things I got were from Cheeky, Jenie & Madison got something from Chickie.

This was Madison after throwing a tantrum Tuesday night. I called her Pouty McPout. She's thrown a few doozies but we are trying our best to be patient and just ignore them for the most part. It's kind of hard sometimes though. Anybody got any good parenting advice? Oh and she is still on the "Daddy Do It" kick. Good thing she's got a good Daddy. He takes such good care of both of us (and Reilly too).

In the meantime i'm going to delight you all and relieve my boiling brain with a PSA or two.....
To: The Chick who sits in spot B185 of cubeland. You are a white female. Not a sistah. Your attempting to act/talk like a sistah is VERY irritating. We all act silly from time to time and mimic different slang but you are serious and it is sad. So.Very.Sad.

To: Mr. Stripey Shirt: Memo: (cos' you obviously did not get the first one) The world revolves on it's own axis. It does not revolve around YOU. Get over yourself. Now. If you do not I will be forced to take a page from SFG and stab you in the neck.

To: The people who are moving out of my new house. Get your shit and Get.Out. I'm tired of stalking you riding by and seeing NO attempts at packing your stuff up going on. Humor me. Stack a box or two where I can see it M'kay?

To: The bitches (NOT said lovingly) in Milwaukee. Take your little OI's and shove them straight up your collective asses. Sideways. Not that you could find your asses. That's a bit more challenging than you all are used to, obviously.

That's enough for now. I'm off to OD on some Tylenol.

Good Morning! First off let me say YAY COLTS! I am so glad they won. I heart Peyton Manning (but not like I heart Brett Favre!)
I went to Myrtle Beach with my sister this week-end. I am so-o-o-o tired this morning. I don't have any pics to post but we shopped at the Tanger Outlets and I of course bought Madison a bunch of stuff she doesn't really need. We ate at the Melting Pot. It was, um, interesting. The food was good, and it was fun but at $50 per person I was really appalled at the skimpy amount of the entree (meat) you get. They fill you up on the bread cubes/cheese/apples in the first course. The dessert was heavenly. We chose white chocolate and they gave us pound cake, cheese cake, brownies, marshmallows, strawberries, pineapple & banana to dip in it. There were several other varieties of chocolate as well. I"m glad we chose white chocolate because I have a feeling if you get too rich of a chocolate that stuff will probably make you sick. Well, it would me, anyway. Anyway that was my week-end. What did you do with yours?
And question. Does a Craftsman Powertool qualify as a decent Valentines Present if your hub states he wants it?

Packers QB Brett Favre will return for a 17th season in 2007.

There really IS a Santa Claus! Yahoo!

Are you diggin' her leopard coat? Mommy wants one!!!

Holy Shiznit, it is FREEZING here in the Palmetto State. Actually there is freezing rain forecasted for today. We'll see if we get any or not.
I took Maddie to the doctor yesterday. We were placed in the "sick" waiting room and Madison took a seat at the little table and proceeded to read magazines and was as good as gold.
We got in to where the Doc was and she acted a fool.
Wouldn't let them weigh her, screamed and threw herself on the floor.
I was horrified. Dr. Tim calmly picked her up, got on the scale, handed her to me, stepped back on the scale and subtracted the difference. Voila.
It was downhill from thereon until bedtime.
Every time something didn't go her way, apeshit.
I was never so glad to hear that child say "I want to go to bed".
This morning she "helped" me give her medecine but I figured Carrie will give her a good dose later on. Carrie's good like that!
