I'm back

I had a wonderful time in New York. I'll write more about it in the next few days. But I must say that I have the cutest nephew in the world. He is so sweet and a great baby.

It was wonderful to come home to Brett. This was the longest we had been apart and I missed him like crazy. He worked on some great projects while I was gone. I can't wait to show them to you.

It was really, really nice to come back to work and not have a huge pile on my desk. I have almost finished everything from when I was gone in one day!

The City that Never Sleeps

New York here I come!!! I am heading off to see my cute little nephew. I can't wait!!!

It so hard to say good bye . . .

We have said bye bye to some debt!!! It feels so good. Brett and I are both savers and don't like to take on debt. It was a wonderful feeling to pay this item off early. By doing so we are saving almost $1,000 in interest payments.

A Public Service Announcement

A Public Service Announcement:

Have your furnace and fireplace checked out before you start using them.


Two weeks ago when we had trouble with our AC unit, we learned that insulation had become packed in around the burner on the furnace. If we had turn the heater on we would have had a fire! So please hire someone to inspect your furnace and your fireplace.

It is also a good idea to clean out your dryer once a year. Lint collects everywhere inside a dryer and can start a fire.

Make me pure in heart that I might see You.

Murphy's Law Part 3

So it ended up being an ok evening. We were warm, but it did start to cool down once the sun set. The food was good. The tarantula went away and we haven't seen any more in the back yard. Just for fun here is a video.

Murphy's Law Part 2

So it was 80 degrees in our house, my Dad and his wife were going to be here in 20 min. I had already messed up the lasagna and Cheese Biscuits. Murphy's Law was in full effect.

Brett went outside to check the breaker. It was not tripped. He turned the AC breaker off and back on. He came back inside and nothing happened. He said he would go to the other side of the house and check the AC unit.

Here is a pic of me putting the lasagna together . . .



Brett walked back into the yard and starting yelling, "Come here, you have to see this!" So I go out side and this is what I find.

I freaked out!!!

Murphy's Law

Last Thursday we had my Dad and his wife over for dinner. I really wanted to make a good impression. I only had 1 hour to put dinner together and clean up the house. I started to put the lasagna together. Brett got home and I asked him to make the Cheese Biscuits. Well I was trying to tell Brett and story and I got the lasagna layers all out of order. I got mad at myself! I have made lasagna a million times . . . I told Brett that I couldn't talk I had to concentrate. As I am focused on the lasagna Brett asks where the baking soda is. The thing is Cheese Biscuits don't need baking soda. Brett realized that he was making the recipe at the top of the page - not the Cheese biscuits at the bottom of the page. He had put in a Tablespoon and a half of salt in the mix. He just doubled the recipe and it end up being fine.

Needless to say I was flustered!!! I was sweating bullets - literally. I was sweating. I went over to the thermostat and it was 80 degrees in our house!!! I turned it down to 60 degrees. Nothing happened. I turned it off and back on. Nothing happened. I turned to fan only. Nothing happened. I started to panic! My Dad would be here in 20 min and it was 80 degrees. I ran around and turned off all the lights and turned the fans on high. Brett ran outside to check the breaker.

But the trouble didn't end there. . . .To find out what happened you will have to check back tomorrow . . .

Polk-A-Dot-Pumpkins

The ladies at my office made polk-a-dot pumpkins this week. You need an orange pumpkin and a white pumpkin, an apple corer, and some ribbon. First you “punch” a hole in the orange pumpkin with the apple corer. Twist the apple corer as you pull the circle back out. Push the circle out of the apple corer. Then do the same for the white pumpkin. The put the white dot in the orange pumpkin and the orange dot in the white pumpkin. Repeat in any pattern that you like. Tie a ribbon on the top or around the middle. The pumpkin will last around a week or so. You could just punch holes in the pumpkin for a neat looking jack-o-lantern.
