Bragging Rights

Today is Patrick's birthday, and for his birthday he took me out shoe shopping.. Need I say more?  Wow. I'm pretty sure I get some serious bragging rights on my husband for that one.

As for the new shoes.. Well you can see pictures of the wardrobe additions below :)

PS. Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband, Patrick! I may have gotten you a CD for a musician that you do not actually like, planned a big surprise that is no longer relevant, and totally botched your birthday "cake".. but I totally love you. 

Gossip

Confession:
I've started watching Gossip Girl via Netflix. It's a guilty pleasure.

Even Bigger Confession:
I just spent the last... 6 hours watching Gossip Girl. Netflix automatically playing the next episode was just so easy and soooo not helpful. So much for making Sunday a day set apart from the world; I think I just turned my brain into fashion-crazed, drama-absorbed mush.

Home Improvement

I've started this new thing where I actually finish the projects I pick up. And you know what? It's kind of fun!! Sure there's always that mid-project schlump but if you can push through it, it feels pretty good. PLUS you get fun new things to decorate the house with :)

SO here are two of the latest projects I've finished:

A wreath for our front door (made from Goodwill scraps). 

Because every "good" homemaker has a wreath up.

Finished TODAY!! A bed for Libby's crate :)

10 Stitches

I've had a small lump on my neck since elementary school. It hasn't ever caused me any problems, but it's gotten a little bigger in the last couple of months and I decided it was time to have it removed. So, I went in. The doctor gave me some local anesthesia, cut the lump out, gave me a few stitches, and sent me on my way. I was in and out within 2 hours. Nice and simple.

While there was nothing to really be afraid of... I was NERVOUS. I mean, I was so tense during the procedure that my upper body started aching before I even left. I guess it was not knowing what the doctor was doing that made me anxious. But I survived!! And I have 10 stitches and a (temporarily) crooked smile to prove it.

On My Radio

I have not been impressed with Georgia's radio stations.  For starters I think there are more Christian stations than every other genre combined.. and that's a lot.  I can only find one top-hits station, and a lot of times it comes in fuzzy.  And to top it off, that ONE top-hits station doesn't even broadcast music on Friday and Saturday night.  What!?  That's right ladies and gentlemen, they broadcast football commentary.  Now I know I'm in the deep south here where people love football and Jesus, but really?  Really??  Oh well.  I guess now I understand why some people might have a hard time keeping up with today's latest.
