Cuckoo!

Last post for today, I promise.  I think I was saving up so much and then today I finally had time to share it so that's why I'm so "talkative" today.

My Mom gave me this awesome cuckoo clock that we had hanging up in our dining room when I was growing up.  It probably needs to be fixed but we haven't hung it yet so who knows for sure.  I think we are both kind of scared that we won't hang it sturdily enough. I am planning to put it in our living room.

15 point lunch

I am quite pleased with today's 15 point lunch. Next time I will do less salad dressing to reduce a bit, but it was so yummy.

Tomato basil pesto "pizzas" made with Arnold's Thins buns, cheese and green olives. Yummy side salad with Italian dressing and cheese. I also had some 0 calorie peach iced tea.

Winter Wonderland

The trees and bushes are beautiful this morning.  I think it's from the "freezing fog" we had earlier this morning. The trees and bushes are coated in ice and everything looks like it's made out of snow. Now it's snowing really lightly. Such a beautiful winter day...and I'm so glad to be inside curled up with my pooch.

House updates

I have been wanting a dark area rug for under our dining table.  That area in our house seems so cold to me both in appearance and temperature wise. When we were grocery shopping Sunday night, I saw a bin of area rugs for $20. So I snagged this chocolate brown one for our house.  I am loving it so far.

I think it will look great with the new table I'm planning to get next month for that space.

I want to replace our wood chairs with Urban chairs from IKEA. I'm not in love with the colors that they have this year though. I want the blue ones for our desk area in our master bedroom. But for the kitchen I think a darker color would be better.


I finally took a picture of my master bedroom post-paint job. I am a little shy about sharing because the room still feels so unfinished to me. Also our desks are a holy mess right now because I'm purging and sorting through things. This is the armoire my Dad made me that I painted this fall. I'm still looking for some photos that belong on that shelf (don't know where I stashed them).

I curled my hair today. It's not something I do often and I managed to burn my neck. I might invest in a bigger barrel iron.
