Kitchen Remodel

I decided it would be a good idea to remodel the kitchen. I also thought I was Bob Villa overnight and thought I could tile not only the backsplash, but the countertops in one weekend.

Needless to say, Tim talked me down and I ended up tiling the backsplash, with help from my Mom and Tim of course. It is amazing what a simple backsplash tile can do to improve your kitchen! I was so excited about it!

Then we added hardware on the cabinets and painted the walls. I decided purple was a wise choice. I would call is Eggplant. It's a dark cool purple. I was a little concered with it at first but I've grown to love it!

In two weeks my kitchen is finally almost finshed!

I will take some pics and post some before and afters soon!

I hate being sick. I feel like Poo! I wish I could feel better soon. It's annoying. OUt of NO WHERE I get sick every year this time of year. My tonsils are huge and my glands are swollen up like baseballs. :( Ugh. Not to mention it's a fun week at work and I dont even want to miss any of it but I have to because I AM SICK. Uggh.

Coughy, snotty, sweaty, feavery, chilly, runny nose sickness.

The End.

P.S- On a positive note I get to catch up on my DVR and recorded episodes of Chelsea Lately. :)

NIkes and Oktoberfest

This weekend was not nearly as relaxing as I hoped it would be.

Friday night I made plans to hang out with my mom. That was actually very enjoyable. I got a cute purple skirt and a pair of black slacks.



Saturday...I raced around all day and got some new shoes, jewlery, and a top! I love the shopping with coupons. I had to go take advantage of the coups!!!



After shopping I rushed and got ready and headed to Oktoberfest at my bosses house. It was fun. We ate bratwurst with sourkraut, drank delicious german beer, ate cheese and pretzels and had a lot of fun. We were there way to late, but all in all I think it was worth it.

We missed out on the Dew Tour after party. I couldn't make it downtown because the work thing went so late. Oh well....

Sunday I did some laundry and worked on finishing cleaning out my Mom's garage...we still have a lot of work to do. Ugh. Next weekend's garage sale should be an overall success though, we have alot of stuff and most of it is worth quite a bit of money.
After the garage sale we'll be on our way up to the cabin for Valerie's birthday.

Busy Busy Busy...

After all the hoopla of the weekend, I am getting sick. I feel like I have a fever and my throat is on FIRE. Let's hope and pray I don't get sick shall we?

So on the radio this morning they were talking about celebs who were total jerks in person. They mentioned Bruce Willis and his band and plays in. I guess some Dad and his kid were in the venue they were playing in and talked to Demi and she was totally nice and told them to go say hi to Bruce. The Dad went over with his 8 year old kid and told Bruce he was a huge fan and asked for an autograph. Bruce said, "Ya know it's pretty sad that a man of your age needs an autograph".

Holy COW! Ya know it boggles my mind. Fans are the reason the celebs have all of the money and fame that they have. If it wern't for fans how would these people have any money. At the end of the day we're all human and it's important to realize the way you treat other people could impact them for the rest of thier lives. Treat other people the way you would want to be treated. I try to live by that and maybe the rest of the world should too!

Shopping and Partying that's what we do best...

I went to Spokane over the weekend to visit my besty. We had such a good time. It was a suprise visit! She never saw it coming. It was pretty fun to say the least. We spent our days shopping and our night's drinking.

Nate took us on the Lake cruise! It was very fun. We didn't even know we were going. During College everyone got to go with different frats and we never even got to go, well we got our chance. We drank the champagne and sat in the sun and got my high heel stuck in the dock.
There were 2 crises leaving at about the same time. One boat was pumpin jams and had a ton of deck room and tables and a younger crowd, the other boat had classical playing and the crowd's average age was about 65. Guess which boat we ended up on? The geezer one..yup.

Who even cares, we made the most of it. The houses are huge and all becuase one rich guy owns like the whole city. Yep.

After the cruise we made our way downtown so Mara could spin the wheel on her birthday at Fast Eddys. Which is a giant wheel of fortune type wheel on the wall and you get to spin it if it is your actual birthday. You can win bar money to spend at the bar. Needless to say we won $15 and used it all up. :) Good times!

The next day we slept in, ate b-fast, went shopping, went to Spagetti Factory and then played video games and drank champagne.

Friday we got ready, had breakfast, went shopping, got ready again, drank champage again, went to The Onion then out to the bars. Good stuff.

By Saturday, my liver was on crutches. It was pretty painful... my plane ride home consisted of me sitting in the middle seat of 3 and having a baby on either side of me. Exhausting! Luckily by the end of the flight they had fallen asleep, but c'mon flight attendents. Why would you do that to me?!!


Saturday night we raced out to Angie's wedding. That wedding was amazing! She looked like a princess, the setting was beautiful, the food was great and the weather cooperated. The only thing was it got a little dark there in the night time. The DJ lights were not bright enough to light up the whole lawn. They should have put extra twinkle lights up. Who would've known though. It was all fab!

I know they'll have a good time on their honeymoon.


I just really need to finish that video for Alyssa. Whew!

My life is CRAZY!

Weddinging

Hello World:

I went to Rob and Alyssa's wedding over the weekend. It was awesome! I am a mess at wedding, I can hardly know the people and it chokes me up. When I see two people I geniunely care about declare their love for eachother in front of all of thier loved ones...it gets me.

I filmed the ceremony and various other footage for them. I think it's going to take me hours to go through and edit, but it'll be well worth it. I think weddings are lovely. Two more to go to this year!

On another note, I think we've finally found an office to move into. It was one of the first ones Shannon and I hunted down. They decided to drop the price making it more affordable for us. Looks like we're moving. The place has Mocha walls and Mocha carpet...A whole lotta Mocha if you ask me.

I have the strong urge to get out of Dodge for Labor Day weekend. I'm thinking I need to take a mini vacay to the cabin. Who's in?
