Gonna get worse before it gets better!!

Sometimes I honestly wonder what possesed me to want to "fix up" the kitchen! I'm not so sure if this project will ever get done. It all started with me wanting a pantry..... Let's not talk about how that led us into the living room (which is actually starting to look pretty good by now) and other parts of the house!! Maybe the secret is 'don't start' haha! There is still a LONG way to go. Ahhh someday!

A perfectly functional kitchen!

Um...wow! This is pretty embarrassing!

I've been meaning to post this picture of my Dad's "mess" that he was all worried about when he moved our outlet.

I guess we failed to communicate that this mess was in the works!

Did you seriously just say that?!?

Heres a few of the more interesting things people have said to me since I've been pregnant...

-Old instructor/co-worker: "Was it planned?"

-Co-worker: "I can't wait for you to get a Buddah belly so I can rub it and make a wish!"

-Girl at Office Depot: "Holy cow! Is there a baby in there?"

-Guy on the treadmill one over from me: "Got company?"

-Client: "That just kicks all the selfishness right out of ya!"

I love the things some people say!!

Seven Things

Apparently I've been tagged to list seven things people might not know about me and have seven other bloggers do the same.

1. I like the smell of dirt. Potting soil straight from the bag and right after it rains are the best!


2. I love bananas. Unless we are out, it's usually the first thing I eat when I get up and sometimes I'll eat up to three in a day. Usually I have to go to the store like two or three times a week just for bananas (Matt likes them too!).


3. Mowing the lawn is my favorite outside chore. I like to watch the progress and the difference between the short and long grass. It always looks so much better when it's done. So I'm pretty much the designated lawn mower in the fam. I'm not sure if Matt has even used our new lawn mower yet (not a complaint). It should look pretty interesting this spring if I'm out mowing the lawn 8 mo. preggo. Haha - I'm sure Matt will help me out then:)


4. I'm a procrastinator. My latest moment was probably paying bills in bed on my phone the same day they were due:)



5. I have quite a disliking for cats. Yeah I know I have a picture on my blog of me holding a cute little kitten, but kittens grow up to be cats. Cats that some of your co-workers might like to let in your office....and that might poop under your table.....and you might not know about it until after your client is laying face down with their head right over the poop...and they might never call to reschedule with you ever again. And then you might have nightmares about certain cats that hang around your office! YIKES! I'm pretty vocal about the "incidence" and the cat coming to visit now.



6. I would much rather go hiking in the mountains than be laying on the beach. At this point in my life I hate sunbathing! No worries though....Hawaii is still PLENTY fun!



7. I'm a bit of a craigs list shopper lately. Recently I've scored a nice sectional, baby furniture, and an air compressor. Call me cheap but I think I'm getting more bang for my buck!

Pay it Forward:)

What a fun game Sara!!

So, here's how it works-the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (or be lazy and copy and past like I did haha!!). Then come back, let me know you're going to play and sit back and anticipate the arrival or your gift! Please submit in an e-mail or on the comment, your address, if I don't have it already (howelie@yahoo.con) :) Remember that only the first 3 comments will receive a gift from me, so be quick!
