because I love a good list
Well then. Hello there. That was a good day!
Thank you SO MUCH for all the wonderful birthday wishes. As we were climbing into bed last night, I told Bri, "It makes me really really happy to have so many friends and family tell me happy birthday." It makes me feel loved. That is a great feeling.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Here is my list for today:
1. Fried eggs are so yummy. I ate two this morning. (and that's really unlike me.)
2. I have really good friends.
3. A few of my best ones are coming over tonight for homemade pizza.
4. I'm starting on my handmade Christmas gifts.
a. making will increase.
b. sharing will decrease. (hello, peekers. you know who you are.)
5. I vow to make this skirt for myself for the holidays. Time to hunt down that magazine.
6. I hope to make this dress for N for the holidays thanks to another good friend.
7. N says really cute things:
a. "look mom. those leaves are waving goodbye to the sky."
b. "now there's something you don't see everyday."
c. to her teachers- "guess what. my brother is allergic to me." (huh?!)
d. "mommy. you are my best."
8. Brian is taking next week off and we're starting in earnest on the basement. This means:
a. some minor-ish construction.
b. A LOT of painting.
c. some tile work.
d. finding and installing a new bar sink and faucet.
e. more painting.
f. laying carpet tiles. (local peeps- the ReStore has really high quality, good looking FLOR-ish carpet tiles right now.)
g. a couple of cool art projects.
h. driving around town entering every contest for a flat screen t.v. we can find. We (Brian) really wants a "big-ass" television down there and we for sure don't have the money. Think that will work?
9. I won't be around much next week because of list items 8 a-h.
10. If I find time, I might try to submit a couple of photos to the s t i l l : body challenge over here.
11. Be good and have a great weekend!

What a great list, looks like you
will be busy for a while! Sad to here
you will be so busy! Don't forget us here
in blogdom. My 3 year old says"mommy you
are my bestest mommy ever" all the time!
Don't you love it?! What does 4b mean?
peekers??? We did not have the cash for
a "big~a**" T.V. that my hubby wanted either
so I got onto freecycle.org and asked for
one... a ton of people offered because
everyone is changing to the new type of
converted T.V. so we got 2 for free.
We have cable so it does not matter if
we have a converted T.V. Good luck I bet
you will find one. Everyone seams to be
getting rid of theirs. Good luck on items
8a~h I hope it all works out for you.
And 7c reminds me of finding nemo where
the the kids are all talking :
Sheldon: I'm H2O intolerant. *sneezes*
kids this age are so funny... "I love
marshmellows on on my pa~sketti"
is one of my favs that my 3 year old says.
I keep telling how to say it right but he
does not remember, too funny!
Have a great weekend!
Rane and baby... cant type anymore because
baby is trying to eat the keyboard.LOL!

Ok, so the screen IS flat, and Todd is willing if you feel the need to come and check it out. My assumption, however, by your silence is that you really aren't interested. So no biggie. s
