I'm very sad. I killed a bird today. I'm a bird murderer. A Burderer!!! :o(

Craft day with mom was fun, I didn't get as much accomplished as I would have liked, but that's ok. There's always next time. Some friends are supposed to come scrapbook at my house Saturday, so I can get some work done on my books. I'm tired of all this stuff just accumulating. I'm ready to get it all where it belongs...in the scrapbooks!!! Then I can accumulate MORE STUFF! ha. just kidding.

Kinda.

The brisket turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself. I took it to the family tonight, they seemed very excited. But I found out the mother is back in the hospital in ICU. She's having such bad pain, and a high fever and fluid in her abdomen. They are running tests to see what it could be. Right now they suspect gall bladder. That has to be hard. She's away from her new baby, and in ICU, the husband is home from the Marines on leave, and the whole time she's been in the hospital and ill. He's running back and forth between the baby and his wife. Keep them in your prayers, please. Sounds like they really need them!

I think that's all I have to blog about today, happy Monday everyone!

Look at my new lamp! I got it tonight at Hobby Lobby, and I just love it! It looks so cute in my den on the bookcase. I wonder how long it will take Chelsea Grace to notice it and decide to "play" with the little danglers?

Tomorrow my mom is coming over and we are having a craft day. We decided we are going to get a head start on Christmas this year, and each month to 6 weeks we will have a craft day, and work on our projects. I hope it helps me at Christmas this year so it's not as hectic as this past Christmas. I'll let you know how this plan goes. ha.

After we finish our craft day we are going to see a movie Mom has been wanting to see: "Because I Said So". Should be a fun filled day!

I'm also attempting to make a brisket tomorrow. If it turns out ok, I'll have dinner for mom and me, (HA!) and then I'll take some to a family from choir that just had a baby. Cross your fingers for me, I've never made one before! Then Sunday I have church, and choir orientation (I'm the choir photographer, so I have to be there to take everyone's mug shots) and then, the rest of the day I may sit on the couch and catch up on my Tivo playing list!

Have a great weekend!

WOW! I can't believe it's February already! Before I know it, it will be Christmas again! Guess I better start shopping! ha.

I decided to put a couple of pictures of my mantel on this blog, because it makes me feel cozy. I change it up every so often, it's an easy way to redecorate without a lot of money or effort. I do the same with my kitchen table, I change it out with the seasons or occasions. I have discovered I'm addicted to dishes, glasses, candles and placemats. Expensive addiction, and it also takes up SO MUCH SPACE! ack!

I've been working on the blog for the business. It's shaping up, but still needs work. I have to input all our information, and also have a TON more pictures to add. It will definitely be a work in progress. I surprised Meredith with what I have done so far, and she was so excited! It's great to work with someone who's so encouraging. Of course it never really feels like work with her, we are usually cracking up every time we are together. We think so much alike, we've decided we share a brain. Sucks for her, ha!

I have so many things on my to do list, that blog being just one of them. I decided this weekend would be a productive weekend, but tomorrow I have church, a baby shower to attend, plus it's Super Bowl Sunday, so not much work will be done tomorrow. So that leaves today. And what am I doing? Blogging. HA! I'm such a procrastinator lately.

Well I'm going to get busy, wish me luck! I'd like to knock at least 2 things off my list today. Hopefully that's not too ambitious! Here I go.......but first I need some breakfast. :o)
