Thursday Thirteen #11

April 30, 2008

For Thursday Thirteen this week there is a theme- which is great because I have been having a hard time coming up with ideas for Thursday Thirteen.  So, the theme is to pick a letter from the alphabet and then come up with words to describe yourself using that letter.  And since I like order and having this alphabetized I will be starting with the letter A- as this makes the most sense to me.  Enough of the babbling- on to my list.

13 things that start with A that describe me:

1. Accurate- I like things to be just so.  And I like to recheck things a million times to make sure they are accurate.
2. Awesome- yes, indeed I am awesome.  Well, actually I just like to use that word a lot.
3. Addicted… to blogging.
4. Affordable- I don’t need expensive things, I am easy to please.
5. Agreeable- I am usually quite agreeable, although sometimes I agree just to avoid conflict.
6. Anxious- I tend to be a worry about anything and everything.
7. Angry with a certain person who I will not mention.
8. Annoyed- I am quite easily annoyed at the stupid things people do.
9. American- and proud of it!
10. Antsy- I am usually feeling nervous about something
11. Annoying- according to Rich
12. Affectionate- according to Rich.  But, wait- didn’t he just call me annoying?
13. Attractive- according to Rich, which does not make up for calling me annoying… but it helps

Stop by Thursday Thirteen to see who else has participated this week.

Wordless Wednesday #63

Our Happy Happenings

I thought these signs were funny so I just had to share them with you.  I got them in an email so I don’t know who to give credit to.  The second sign I found to be especially funny.  Anyhoo, I hope they made you laugh too.

Tackling Hailey’s Clothes- Finished

April 29, 2008

Tackle It Tuesday Meme

Our Happy HappeningsA couple of weeks ago for my Tackle It Tuesday I posted that I was working on getting all of Hailey’s spring and summer clothes washed and organized.  I didn’t do Tackle it Tuesday last week because I was taking a little bloggy break.  So, this week I am sharing my pictures of the job all done. This picture of the clothes on the couch is before.  I had to take all of the tags off of the clothes (next time I will do that as I buy the stuff rather than waiting and doing it all at once) and I washed everything and put it all away.

 

Dresser

Here’s the drawer all nice and organized- shorts together, capris together, pants together and organized by color.

Closet

I had to clean out the closet and put away all of the clothes that do not fit Hailey anymore.  I always feel sad when I have to put away clothes that don’t fit her anymore.  Anyhoo- the closet is organized as well- long sleeves together (sometimes we need long sleeves where we live even in the summer), short sleeves together, sleeveless together, dresses together, etc.  It’s so easy to find what I am looking for.  And, yes- it will stay like this.

Stop by 5 Minutes for Mom to see what everyone else has tackled this week.

Fun Monday- Favorite Walk

April 28, 2008

This week Fun Monday is being hosted by AOJ and the Lurchers and here is our assignment:

“I’m going to make it a nice and easy Fun Monday this week. All I want you to do is take me on your favourite walk. In words or pictures. Or both of course! Tell me why it’s your favourite and point out things of interest on the way.”

Ummm, so I have been very busy lazy and haven’t been on a walk in awhile.  The weather is finally nice where I live (although we may have snow flurries this week) so I plan to start walking everyday.  But, during the winter when it’s too cold and snowy this is where I should do my walking:

Our Happy Happenings

The only point of interest along this walk is my TV and that’s only if I can find something good to watch, which isn’t very often.

Stop by AOJ and the Lurchers to see the other participants, who have hopefully taken some actual walks ;)

Menu Plan

I really need to start doing my Menu Planning again.  When I don’t do it I never know what to cook.  Every evening around 5pm I stare at the refrigerator and go through the cupboards looking for something to make.  So, I am back to doing Menu Plan Mondays so that I can be better organized.

Monday- Pizza, with a fabulous new pizza sauce recipe I’ll post later.
Tuesday- Chicken fingers and fries
Wednesday- Ham and Swiss Casserole
Thursday- Peppy Macaroni
Friday- Breakfast
Saturday- BBQ chicken on the grill
Sunday- Beef Pot Roast
