Tuesday..

I think I need a vacation. This summer is more than half way over, and yet "summer" and "vacation"- two words that should be somewhat synonymous in my opinion- have yet to meet. Things have been so crazy! Holly called her engagement off (I Know!! So sad over this as we loved her fiance, but what can we do?), no calls on the house (still), my house is a mess and it's been rainy. My posts are so lame, sorry! Does anyone else just have "off" weeks??
Jack was so cute this morning, he kept pointing to his nose saying "nose" and pointing to his eyes saying "eyes" although he needed my help with the "eyes" part and still looks stumped when I even bring up the word "mouth". He is learning "please" and "thank you" although both require a little imagination to make out.
Jeremy and I had a baby-sitter on Friday (which we NEVER do on weekends!) so we went to 2 movies and dinner. We saw Harry Potter and Transformers. I totally felt like a 12 year old boy after typing those movies. Anyways. It was a fun night, almost forgot what a date was;)
Jeremy went and bought me the first Harry Potter on Saturday because I've never read the books. So of course that's a short read and was done quickly and am now on the second. I didn't think I would like them as they are "Fantasy" type books and I DESPISE that kind of stuff usually. (The worst is Sci-Fi movies, EWWWW, don't get me started) But the books are cute and entertaining . I think the difference is that the main characters are KIDS. Somehow that makes a difference. Anyways, still not a FREAK about the books.. I have no idea what drives people to their obsession??

Been Blah..

This week at work has been so busy and stressful. I feel like once I get to work I have a hundred different people pulling me in so many directions. What's that about!? We have lots of closet orders in right now as well and our manufacturer is bugging me as well. When we first started working with them, it took about 2 weeks to get it out of their factory, now it takes 4 weeks..THEN goes to Seattle and gets on a barge up to Anchorage making our whole lead time 5-6 weeks. What's that ABOUT! We will probably have to find a new supplier because we can't compete with anyone in town if that's our lead time. People don't want to wait that long for their closet to be installed, I know I wouldn't want to!
Our house still hasn't sold, the market is DEAD here all of a sudden.
Anyways hope everyone else is having a better week than me!
Andrea: I bought some of those fake french pedi thingys, love them!!

Been Sick.. UGH

OK so last Friday I start to feel the tickle in my throught! NO!!! Not my LONG weekend! Yes, I spent the whole weekend sick. However, because we have SO much to do to get this house on the market (Oh yeah, did I mention we closed on our property last Thursday!)I worked all weekend. We went to Lowe's and got new flooring, sinks, faucets, lighting and countertop for the Master bath. I had a goal to do the whole thing for $500 but it looks like it will end up being closer to $550. NOT BAD! I have to laugh because at work, I don't even want to work with someone on a bath unless thier budget is at least $20,000. Haha, not me though! We would spend more money for nicer finishes but the market is a little soft and I wanted to update without losing money. So, I'll post befores and afters in a couple of days when it's done. We also have the carpet guy coming to fix the HOLE in our carpet (yeah.. we're ghetto) that my dog dug while trying to get into our bedroom via China apparently.
Jack is doing well, he's 18 months now and going to NURSERY! Soo NICE!!
My birthday was last Saturday- the 19th. We went 4 wheeling up to Jim Creek, it was beautiful and we just sat for hours roasting hot dogs and smores. Then we had seperate celebrations at both Jeremy's parents house and mine. I really felt like I was milking this birthday thing! I was spoiled like always.
My boss got me a sewing machine! It was a combo birthday/5 year anniversary gift. (5 years working for her) It is SO nice, I was so excited!! That night I pieced together this girly crib quilt. (No.. not pregnant!! Just loved the fabric) It is Amy Butler fabric, I just LOVE her style and her designs. A couple of the prints are Michael Miller. Anyways, I ordered TONS of fabric from fabric.com for my "birthday" from Jeremy (aren't we so thoughtful, we always do that! Buy what you want, "Happy Birthday"), they have great deals for anyone out there who sews. I am making a King size duvet cover and matching Euro shams etc. I got a King size down comforter from my mom, isn't that convenient ;) So, I will have to post pics when I'm done. This is a perfect gift because when we move into Jeremy's parents house, we are bringing nothing but our clothes and our BED.
Sorry it's taken me so long to post! May has been the craziest month ever, with graduations, visiting grandparents, ModBod parties, 2 baby showers,2 births, birthdays, moving etc. I'll be a little better now that things are slowing down!
