A Little Here, A Little There..

First things first..

I really don't care for this new blog header but I just cannot seem to make one that I really like. I'll keep playing around with it until I can find something that I decently like. Onto bigger and better things..

I have been quite a busy bee since the last time I blogged. I have been on quite a cleaning streak lately(read below) and I have also got quite a bit of Christmas shopping done! Now for those of you who don't know me very well, this is a VERY big deal. I am your absolute best example of a last minute shopper..but not this year! Not to mention, I even ordered Sophie a sweet little Christmas sweater today! I will post pics as soon as it comes in! I bet you didn't hear the latest news in Meridian???? There is a chance for SNOW FLURRIES on Friday night, and it is only November! Hopefully we will get some sort of a winter snow this year! Tonight, my family and I had a "late" Thanksgiving dinner with my dad's aunt and uncle. It was great getting to see them, I haven't seen them in quite some time. I hope that I am in as good of shape as they are when I reach their age. My great aunt is absolutely hilarious, and my great uncle is still just as business smart as he has ever been.

I have quite a few projects that I am currently working on. Last year, I made my mom and dad each a calendar for Christmas. They are both so hard to shop for and I was completely out of ideas. I have a website that I use online, and all that I do is design each page (which takes forever), put together the layout, and have it printed and shipped to my front door. Simple enough I guess. Needless to say, it was such a hit last year that I'm doing it again. So I have spent quite a bit of time on my computer lately trying to put these together (and shhh...it's all a secret!). Hopefully I can finish them sometime this week. Last year, I was late getting them together, rushed them in for Christmas, and they cost waay more than I ever imaged a calendar would! Thank goodness this year I have started early, and I even got an e-mail today stating that I get FREE shipping!!! I know this doesn't mean much to you but when the shipping costs are more than the calendar, it means quite a bit!

Have I completely lost my mind??

Apparently, it has been gone for quite some time now! You wouldn't believe what I have been doing over the past two days..I have been on quite a cleaning streak. Now I haven't been on just any clean streak....

I have literally cleaned baseboards, cabinets and what not, I cleaned my car inside and out, cleaned my room, cleaned my closet, and I even cleaned out all of my drawers...AGAIN!

Yes my friends, this is what unemployment will do to you. Not only did I clean out all of my drawers, closet, cabinets, etc. two months ago when I thought I was moving, but I have cleaned them out a second time over the past few days! I even considered re-painting the baseboards! I think unemployment has most definitely reached a new high. If only Santa could bring me a job..

Now for those of you who know me, I am an extraordinarily clean person, but I'm afraid this has reached a new high. Lauren (my roomie from last year) would have come up with a better nickname than just Merry Maids for me by now if we still lived together..

Until tomorrow.
