    Exciting!!!!!

    Guess who’s ready to not be sick anymore?? (Meeeeeee. ugh) It really is getting better. My voice is almost back and I’m coughing and blowing my nose a bit less. I probably also should have taken a few days off this week to get better, but as I think it’s going to be my last week of work for the summer I really didn’t want to take it off. And I ended up having a fabulous, full work week. I can suffer through one more day, right? I know that today is supposed to be Thrifty Thursday, but sadly you’re just going to have to wait until tomorrow… …as I’ll…

    Shop Girl Gets Sick*

    Gross. That’s how I feel right now. I woke up with a sore throat on Friday, and I basically showered in Vitamin C to try and make it go away… but by Saturday night it was a full blown chest cold. It was so bad that I seriously considered giving up my concert ticket so that I could stay home and go to bed. …thankfully, no one accepted. I bought the Hubster tickets to see CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revisted) for his birthday this year, and the concert was on Saturday night. I was seriously doubting my ability to survive the concert before we left, but I am so glad that…

    Tuesday Tidbits*

    I am so ready for summer holidays. Work is beginning to slow down a little bit, and my work calls are shifting from being booked the evening (or week) before, to calls the morning of. Today I even had the morning off, and it was magical. We are still busy as bees trying to tackle projects around the house. Today the Hubster and BC tackled the fan in my kitchen that had a family of birds living in it. Seriously. He couldn’t believe how massive the next was when he pulled it out–these birds must have been building it for years. The previous owners hadn’t bothered to put a vent…

    A Summer of Dresses: Lacey*

    I intended to post this yesterday, but we got caught up in our Saturday activities, and I actually went out last night. For real. I went out and saw some of my friends from my first university (Ghetto U) and it was fabulous. My beautiful friend Star is getting married this summer and last night we went out to celebrate and help her raise some money for her wedding. Today I am introducing you to my lovely friend Lacey. Lacey is a friend of mine that I actually met through my book club! She is not a “blogger”, but she asked if she could participate in my Summer of Dresses…

    House Projects: The Backyard*

    Oh lovelies, I am so tired. I’ve been up since 5:45am, and my book and my bed are screaming my name. However, I promised to give you another house update this week, and I will not disappoint! A little while ago I told you all about our jungle backyard and shared with you The Story of the Sodcutter. We started out with this: And a close up of our beautiful “grass”… By the time that was all done and finished, I was pretty much ready to live happily with a backyard full of dirt. Seriously. However, the Hubster had different ideas… On Monday he called a local nursery and ordered…
