First Post

We got our laptop hooked up today with wireless web, yay! The old pc will go in Savanna's room for her little games. We are also getting rid of the 1975 teachers' desk we have. It reminds me of when I was in elementary school. It's the 80's brown and it's huge! That's funny! We want to get a pretty small desk since our computer room is our dining room too. The dining room table is going along with the desk. When you sit in the chairs they wobble from side to side, lol. So out with the old and in with the new. I can't wait!

At our house lately it's been nothing but cleaning and getting rid of stuff. I feel that Brad, and I have done this because we have been through a lot in the past almost 2 months now. I guess it's sort of like a cleansing of the soul. Maybe we just feel we need to get replace old things with new things to get through life's changes. I must say that it has really helped us to cope with everything. Plus it keeps us busy, and our minds off things.

I recently cleaned my closet out too. I say "mine" because Brad has to have his own closet in the guest room. He has just as many if not more clothes than I do. My closet is a walk-in and it's huge! When you go in, there is a shelf that goes all the way around the whole closet for storing things at the top, and hanging clothes on at the bottom. A month ago you couldn't even step foot inside. I had clothes jam packed on every inch of that shelf. I had shoes all lined up covering the entire closet floor too. Now that I have Good-Willed my closet, the clothes don't even cover half the shelf anymore! My shoes though cover 85% of the floor. I just can't bear to part with a lot of them. What can I say, I'm a handbag/shoe kinda girl =) I really wish I had a before and after pic to post.


The weekend is here! I'm off work so I plan on sleeping in Saturday. I have had a lot of trouble getting in bed before 12 this week. It's just about to kill me. Going to bed that late then getting back up at 5 is just awful. For some reason I have just had so much going on. I plan on getting a massage this weekend and Brad's playing golf as usual. Savanna asked if she could spend the night with a friend, so she will be doing her own thing too. I was going to try and get all of my housework done on Saturday, but if I get a massage I'm not sure how much of a contributor I will be. I will most likely be too relaxed for any cleaning. So I hope everyone has an awesome weekend and I'll check back later!

Oh boy, getting that laptop hooked up with wireless is dangerous... you'll find that you'll spend A LOT MORE time online! Our laptop follows us from room to room. Sometimes I have to force myself to put it down and ignore it!

Physical cleaning goes hand-in-hand with mental cleaning. It's good for you! I'll send you a pic of my shoe racks that solved my shoe problem. You may want to get something similiar... they hold about 50 pairs of shoes and they're about 5 feet high! Perfect for chicks like us that collect shoes! (Of course anyone that stays in our spare bedroom thinks I have a problem... if only they knew about my 200 tubes of lipstick! OCD can be a bee-otch!) ;)

I have been online more and I have gotten a little more lazy since. It's only been two days!

You may need to tell me where you got this shoe rack. I reeeally need one. Wow! 200 tubes of lipstick? you go girl! I think that's cool.

I think this weekend if I wasn't home or wasn't sleeping, I have been on the internet. ARGH! No this isn't Savanna's first sleepover. She has a bunch of friends that live on my mom's street. Every weekend they are asking if they can spend the night with eachother, lol!

Love you~

You've never had one? Oh, we are so going! You have to ask your doctor first since you are preggers though. I didn't get mine but I'm gonna try this weekend. Love you!
