Its been a big huge weekend! I have pulled muscles everywhere, my house is a mess, but my kitchen is BEAUTIFUL!!! Me and Brian decided to finally paint the kitchen/half bath/dining room this weekend. :) The original color was called "Ginger spice" but that was at Lowes, and we got the paint at Home Depot as a "custom color match" so I get to name it....and after 2 days it dawned on me...it is the EXACT color of pumpkin pie filling!!!! So that is the bane "Pumpkin Pie"! :) I cannot believe how gorgeous it is! My kitchen is finally coming together and I couldnt be happier! We also painted the laundry room nook as well as the pantry for the first time ever. And since we did such an intense job it took us 2 days to finish which is a first ever for us! I had hoped on painting the garage too, but after this weekend I dont even want to SEE a paint brush for a LONG time!
Today Brian is off work (as well as tomorrow). I was going to go to the dentist to finally get this cavity fixed, but I have chickened out again. I dont know what is wrong with me...I really dont want to lose this tooth and I know right now its just a cavity, but I am *terrified* to go. The last time I tried was last year and I almost went into a full panic attack in the waiting room! I may call and see if they have an appointment for tomorrow but I may not. :( *sigh* Anyhow he is off and we have a "return" day planned because we have bits and pieces of stuff from different stores that we need to return and put towards other stuff. I am knocking my kids' Christmas stuff out left and right and am actually only a few things and a stocking away from already being done with them!!! I am not sure if thats a good thing, or will prompt me to shop more for them b/c I am bored with no shopping to do all of december and November! ;) So today we are going to do that, plus I have to run by the post office, and then start cleaning my kitchen up so I can actually cook dinner in there tonight! I will post the before and after pictures as soon as I can. I am going to just use Picasa links as always and start labeling the albums by the month instead of per event to make it easy on me. (except for the kitchen, thanksgiving, and christmas which will all get their own of course!)
Anyhow I have decided to once again buy a scale. But I will not hesitate to have Brian hide it if I become obsessed with it, but I want to see more than once a month how I am doing! My next appointment at the doctor is December 4th for a refill as well as a weigh in! :)
November is already moving by at lightning speed! I found out that Christopher's class is doing a Thanksgiving Play in the cafeteria later this month and I cant wait!!!! I am so excited, I know I will be boo-hooing! I also have to make an appointment with the eye doctor and get some glasses. I was going to do contacts, but they scare me and need too much to maintain so I think I am going to do glasses now and then start saving a little every month to one day get the Lasik surgery instead. :) I am worried about the glasses, but I need to see and I think this may be my best option. Brian wants me to get contacts to make me feel good about myself still (as everyone knows I am not a fan of glasses) but I feel bad spending that much money on myself.
Anyhow I have to go for now, we have a ton to do in our "return day" today!
Lots of Love!
Robin
