27 days!

That's right ladies and gents - twenty 27 days till the most joyous day of the year - CHRISTMAS!!!!!!


Break out the hot coco and hot apple cider and start the decorating folks! Here is my decorating job at the California Dreamin casa. I'm actually contemplating getting a little something else for next to the fire place (other than Ms. Daisy Mae)

Our first fire of the year

It was a success!!!

Of course that's the Christmas music channel the TV is on

Got those 2 sparkly tree's from Pier 1 - Nick's lucky that's all I walked outta there with

Like I said - 27 days!! Nick better hurry up and get to shopping, I've been a very good girl this year

I want to start a tradition once Troy (and our other babies) are old enough and every year take them to add a house onto my small Christmas Village

Funny enough, December 3rd is a Friday this year

Of course the number 1 Fur-baby, Ms. Daisy Mae!!

Geez, I need to empty that trash, hmmmm...

This morning has been so cozy with it being rainy and cold outside and a nice warm fire inside. The hubb and I even put up our last and final decal in Troy's nursery. All we are waiting for is my shower next weekend to put the last of the stuff up, and then it'll be time for final touches that I'll make (random decor on top of shelves and such). Have a wonderful and lazy Saturday beautiful's!

It's finally Friday- WOO HOO!

Ah yes, there is nothing better than the clock hitting 4pm, and knowing you don't have to come back to work for 2 days, plus the time on Friday evening. I got a relaxing weekend consisting of: a pottery class with my mom, sister, niecey poo, gma, and aunt, grocery shopping (o, joy), Shred with Jill, gym and run/ride with Nicky poo. It's supposed to be a gorgeous weekend too! Sunny and in the mid to upper 70's.

Since it's going to be a gorgeous weekend, I couldn't be happier that N-dawg, has one of the 2 days off. I have been itching to get our happy married butts over to Home Depot. Nick's mom sent him a gift card and I am eyeing a few things for our patio:


I want these x 2. And I'm thinking gorgeous flowers in them both. For some reason, these hanging planters, have always reminded of Sesame Street, haha! Maybe it's cause it's something you'd see on my favorite show (when I was 3...or 23).


I think these would spruce up the patio and add some color, cause at the moment, our chairs are a brown stitching sorta deal, with black iron legs and arms.

Not necessarily this Home Depot trip, but I want to get a larger pot for the patio and I want to fill it with a bunch of herbs. Maybe something like this


I am also wanting to head over to Target to get fun accessories not green thumb related and get some hanging lights so when Nick and I sit out there with our margaritas in the summer, we can see each other (and our drinks). Something like this:



This week ends the mark of my 3rd week at my new job. Not only that, but today (thank you direct deposit), I got my 1st paycheck. Me likey :)
