It has been awhile

Vacation was great last week. I never took a whole week of vacation to do nothing. I usually go on trips or visit family. This was a selfish vacation about JUST me:):) I started out the weekend with a trip to PA. My mom catered to me as I watched allot of movies and rested on the couch. I did manage to make it to the hair salon to get my hair done but the was the extent of leaving the house. Then we drove back on Sunday and Al came over. The rest of vacation I really did nothing of importance. I managed to catch up on allot of needed sleep. There were actual mornings I actually slept in until 10:):) I did remodel my spare bedroom and spent the day at the spa with my mom and sister.

In other news, I applied for a new job yesterday. During vacation I really thought allot about my happiness, and this job does not make me happy, in fact it never did. I never wanted to take this job, but I felt obligated at the time. I am happy however for the experience and how this job will look on my resume. To be honest I never wanted a career and I somehow ended up with one--LOL Funny how life works. I think a change will do me good, plus I will be my own boss again which is always nice. We will see how things turn out--there are two openings one in Arundel Mills and one in Odenton--so we will see what my future has in store.

As far as today I am just worrying about the next 4 days I have off. I am so excited. I am having Thanksgiving this year, so I need to get home and start preparing the food:) The following people will be at my First official thanksgiving dinner:

Mom, Dad,Alex,Laura, Julie, Michele, Tyler,Josh,Misti, Donny, Madison, Mike & Karina.

It is going to be so much fun. Then Al and Mike plan to do the whole black Friday thing, so I will be up all night taking them hot chocolate and blankets trying to keep them warm:) It should be a great Holiday. I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving:)

This could be the new bedding----

Last night I went to Arundel Mills (TJ Max) looking for my bedding. Although, I did not find the exact match, I bought this one.



I am still looking for the other one but if all else fails this one is still fantastic:):) After that I met Misti and TGI Friday's for dinner and drinks:) It was nice reminiscing about old day's and talking. Then I went home watched a movie. For some reason I could not sleep last night, I had so many random thoughts running through my head. Finally, was able to fall asleep at 4. So needless to say I am very tired today:):) 1 day left to vacation:)

Ideas for Guest Bedroom

I am in the process of designing my guest bedroom. I am definitely going for the Chocolate brown and blue look. I want it to be cozy yet modern, without going over a strict budget. I really like the bedding and curtains in this pic:


Any ideas would be appreciated:):)

Boring Tuesday

Last night I got me and Laura Subway and we watched Spiderman. It was not as good as I expected. After that I went to bed. I am looking forward to going to PA this weekend to spend some time at the homefront. I love going to my parent's it is always so relaxing and fresh and cozy:):) Can't wait. Then I am going to start my vacation with a bang of completely organizing from top to bottom my home:):) Then on Wednesday Al is taking off and we are spending a few relaxing hours at a spa-this is what we are getting:

"Romancing The Stone • You and your significant other will be escorted to one of our two private couples suites where you will
unwindside-by-side and enjoy our Hawaiian Rapture 75-minute massage. Then relish in our hydrotherapy tub, while our exotic
blends of essential oils and sea salts ease your tensions and nourish the skin................................................................."

That is well deserved:) Then my mom is coming on Thursday to stay the rest of the week. We have some simple projects planned. I just love when she comes because she makes everything look so nice at my house:) So the whole week is going to be about me and my house--a well needed vacation:):)

Hello

Wow, the weekend went by so fast. Friday I did not do much--just relaxed and then went bed early. On Saturday I woke up around 8, and cleaned out the old dining room and the spare room. I moved the day bed over to the old dining room and I made a vanity room in the other room for me and Laura to get ready-it looks great. Then I got ready and met Laura and Courtney for dinner and drinks at the Olive Garden. After that we decided to continue the night and we went to my local bar's Donna's and had a great time. We drank and sang Karaoke. Then on Sunday Laura made us sweet rolls for breakfast, when she went to take her plate in to the kitchen she saw a mouse. Then I went upstairs and was laying in bed and I saw another mouse--and it did not stop there. I went down stairs and was sitting on the couch--and yet another--EWWWWWW. Then I walked in to the kitchen and saw on running across my backsplash in the kitchen. I was so grossed out. I planned on cleaning the house that day but there is no way I could do that with these creatures running around. So I put on some clothes and ran to Walmart. I bought two snap traps and then 4 glue traps--Now granted I am so against the glue traps, but I was not thinking clearly--I just wanted them out. So I set them out in all the places I saw them and then took the dogs down to the family room in the basement. I did not leave that room for the rest of the afternoon. I did go up and peek on the traps and after about two hours I got one--This is when I felt soooo bad, because the poor little guy was stuck to the glue screeching away--I did feel bad but I just did not want to deal with it. Then Laura came home and of course she was mad cause I used the glue trap. She went next door and got the neighbor boy, who nicely discarded of the poor little guy. Meanwhile Skylee goes in to the kitchen and sets off one of the snapper traps--thank gosh she was okay--and that point me and Laura are bickering back and forth and we agreed to no longer use the glue traps--so I was picking up the ones I put down and guess who was watching me???? a little mouse who was stuck in my sink--my sink is so deep that he could not get out of it--who knows how long he was in there--ewwwww I freaked out, lucky Laura and the neighbor were brave enough to get it. So they took him alive across the street so I am sure he is back in my house now--the rest of the night was uneventful as far as the mouse went--

Then of course after all of that drama I decided to pick a fight with Alex because of his commitment issues--So for the millionth time I broke up with him. That did not last long cause he kept calling me and then he text me "Im sorry im so undecisive and I am sorry I bring you heartache. I do love you so much". And I do know he loves me so much, but it is so hard waiting for him. I am not sure how much longer I can do this. The only thing I know for sure, is how great our love for one another is. I don't want anybody else. So we will see:):) FOUR more day's till vacation:):)
