MY BRAIN IS GOING TO EXPLODE!!!

I've got to stop being so sporadic with my posting! I've been so busy lately, 10 things happening at once, that I feel like I'm gonna freak out!! Although, when I think about, I just think I'm a freaker. I don't know if I would actually be able to handle it any other way. I often wonder what it would feel like to have a lesiure life (and I don't even have kids!) Neway, back to the reason for my posts....life is a whirlwind. So Matt and I have been throwing around the idea of moving into a bigger place-then we decided we didn't want to deal with the hassle of moving-then we found this house that is 3 x bigger than our apartment, with a FLAT yard, and 125.00 month cheaper rent (deal breaker) and the next thing I know, we are moving..in 2 weeks!! So, my booth that needs painting and stocking, and desperate attention if I'm ever going to make any $$ is on the back burner for now until I can get the new house painted and everything packed and moved.

In the midst of all this, I don't know what color to paint in the house. I like the rustic feel, but I also like the cottage thing, so I don't know how to meet in the middle. I'm also wanting new furniture (because I am SICK of a futon) but I know that is not a realistic goal right now. So, any ideas for painting/decorating our new abode? We are showing the place to Matt's mom this weekend, so I will take pictures to post later.

I think I'm done ranting. Now it's time to do taxes and get excited about having honeymoon money :)

Miss Me?

I find great comfort in knowing that you guys miss me when I'm away :) And that I actually have more than 2 people reading my blog. Sorry for the lapse. Nothing exciting has happened, and Matt and I have been busy creating our new travel business and I am in the process of opening up an antique booth here in town. Something else to bring me closer to a meltdown :) Neway, hope everyone had a good weekend. I stayed in and drank hot chocolate since it's still cold here. Debbi, I feel you with the negative degree weather. It's for the birds!!

Open to Suggestions

Matt and I are trying to plan our vacations, but we are stuck. We don't know where we want to go for our honeymoon/wedding--Antiqua, St. Lucia...they all sound so generic, but we're unsure of the non-generic ones. Jamaica is a definite no, this little sheltered southern girl is running out of ideas that were scarce to begin with!

We are also going to NYC this summer, and are trying to figure out which Broadway play to see, but again, I'm too sheltered to know of any plays besides Grease, Rent, Chicago...Just thought I would throw this out there. So, Debbi and Heather (since you two are the only ones that read this) where should we go?

How Did I get so Lucky?


So, today was the 2nd day of the snow covered mountains, and although there was no meltdown, Matt still had to drive me to work, because I still refuse to drive for fear of another incident of backing off our mountain. Neway, so you can imagine my surprise, when at 10:oo am, I receive a pkg at work. The pkg was from ProFlowers, the company Matt always uses to purchase floral bouquets from. I thought, the snow didn't cause a meltdown this morning, it's not my birthday, or any other significant day for that matter, so why am I getting flowers? Well, I got flowers just because my fiance is...my fiance. He just wanted to start the New Year off right, and he succeded :) sp? I can't wait to grow old with this person and raise a family with him!
BTW, these flowers are amazing! The company picks them fresh before shipping them, so they last up to 3 weeks!

WINTER WONDERLAND (at least for some)










For some around here Wednesday was just a normal snow day. For me, however, it involved a meltdown and Matt being an hour late for work because he had to drive ME to work, because I was not raised in a region where life goes on when overnight the ground becomes covered with 4 inches of snow (although I disagree with the weatherman and swear we got 8 inches)!! After the crying subsided, I managed to realize it looked really pretty and captured a few pictures.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Hope everyone had a Happy New Year! We celebrated @ our house by playing the Wii with a couple of our friends. A good time was had by all. Now it's time to start on my resolutions so I can join Heather's swap :)
