All is Well.

It snowed a couple of inches last night. And more is on it's way - all week we're supposed to be adding to this preliminary layer of white. I'm SO excited. It's so pretty. Gracie LOVES the snow. She's so pickin' cute out there, bouncing around, getting snow all over her lips when she eats it. I've gotta get downstairs and dig the boots and snowpants out. I felt like a terrible Mom this morning sending the kids off in their tennis shoes to walk to school. Terrible.

I put Christmas music on this morning, and got a few boxes of decorations out. It's extremely difficult to get to my Christmas decorations right now, as the doorway into my basement under-stair storage is completely blocked. I have to go around by the pantry and squeeze between the extra fridge and a wall to get in there. It's worth it though. I especially love finding things I bought last year at the post-holiday sales that I'd completely forgotten about...

Cabinets come tomorrow. Paint went up last night. It's beginning to look like a room again, as opposed to a construction zone. Floor goes in on Tuesday next week. I'm going to go pick out my backsplash today... YAY!!! We're getting there.

E. goes to a friends' house today after school, so I've got all the way until 3:00 this afternoon to get stuff done... I don't want to waste a minute of it.

I'm outa here, friends. Have a good one.

    You don't know me...I've been lurking for a while, but I just want to tell you that I love your banner....your children a adorable. Hey, your kitchen project seems to be moving along at a great pace. I know to you it seems like forever, but my husband is a contractor and I know how long it can take :) Hang in there...it will be beautiful!

    Debi - It's good to see you commenting... I always love it when lurkers become commenters.

    I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel with the kitchen. And I KNOW I have nothing to complain about. You know on HGTV when they show remodels, they always say "Six months later, the Smith's can finally look back at the process..." I know my little three weeks of project time is NOTHING. I'm trying not to complain too much...

    Come back, ya here?

    They talked about the snow in your area on the news today. I said, "Hey, my friend lives there and I didn't know she was getting snow!" My son looked at me like I was crazy. His response was, "Why would she tell you?" Hmmm, I guess he doesn't think moms talk about things like snow.

    Giggling about the shoes. I've done that before. Even worse than the shoes is the fact that John doesn't even have a coat and I sent him to school last week in a sweatshirt - it was 29 degrees when the bus pulled up. BAD MOMMA!

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse.
