Five on Friday

Another edition of 5 on Friday!  So happy it's Friday, so happy to be linking up, so happy I got three posts in this week! Self high five!

1) Kid Clammy started preschool last week and well let's just say while I am super sad my boy is growing way too fast I am super excited about the art work that is coming home!  (I meant to take a picture to share - but forgot #momfail)

2) Sissy turned 11 months this week!  Again with the time going too fast!  

3) Mixed emotions about this California weather. While I am glad that I am not suffering with snow and -50 degrees. I am a little bummed to have not been able to break out more scarves and ugg boots! However today I am rocking some comfy clothes because its Friday - and why not?

(I promise my pants really are all black - not sure what happened in the picture)

4) More work on the house this weekend - I wish it was just done already but that's not the reality.  But more work means that much closer.  I was hoping to move in before the end of the month but well let's just say hope and reality are really two different things!

5) I made this chalkboard sign for fun things, firsts, lasts etc.  I think I need to repaint to a the black chalkboard at this grey is a little hard to read!  But it is one of my first DIY and I am happy with how it turned out!

Happy Friday!! Have a great Weekend!!

Funny, Weird, Random – not really sure?

So there are some sayings I have heard that I don’t really “get”, there are some that I love and use quite often and there are some things that have happened that I wonder – am I the only one who thinks this is strange?  So here is a post about some major randomness floating around in my head. 

First off the company I work for –the founder used to say – “Live and Learn and Die Dumb”  I happen to use this saying all the time but I really don’t get it!  Another of my favs “if you see a bucket of shit don’t stir it”.  Now this I totally get and try to live by as often as I can – but sometimes I just can’t help myself and I am stirring away just to see what will happen.  Or how about “finer than a frogs hair split 10 ways”  Really?  I didn’t even know frogs have hair – or do they?  

Ok the other thing – when you are giving numbers to people – for instance paying with a credit card over the phone do you say – one / two / three / four (1234) or do you say twelve thirty four?  For me I much prefer one-two-three-four because then I don’t have to think about what numbers make up twelve and thirty four. 

My job consists of a lot of talking on the phone – I mean A LOT!! (I answer phones as part of my job).  So here is the thing –sometimes customers call and yell and scream and aren’t very nice.  They can forget that I am the one that really has to help them get to the person they need to speak with so they really should be nice to me.  Then there are the ones who feel the need to tell you their entire life story.  I mean we are talking 2-3 minutes of time that I cannot get back – all when they could have just said – can I speak with so-in-so.  Hopefully they feel better now after getting it all off their chest. 

Toilet Paper - over or under?  Does it really matter?

Kleenex box in the back window of a car – how do you reach it if your are driving and have to sneeze or have a booger? 

Ok that’s all for today – see like a said totally random!!

A random picture of Kid Clammy to go with my random post!!

One Fifteen

Good morning Friends!!  I feel like I am suffering from a case of writers block lately.  But its not really writers block per say.  I have lots of “drafts” posts started of ideas of things and topics I want to talk about but none of them are finished.  Finding time and the right words are both escaping me right now!  I have wanted to talk about our Christmas and our New Year’s.  I have wanted to talk about Resolutions, A Money Challenge and so much more.  But for now – all I got is a bunch of non finished nonexistent posts!!  However we have made a little more progress on the house…

High Five on Friday

Linking up with the ladies today to celebrate the fact that it is Friday!  

1) Using this little diddy that I won at Christmas Bunco to have myself a little treat today!  Isn't that just the cutest gift card?

2) Bought these boots yesterday!  Again with a gift card I got for Christmas so that's always a plus!  I have been wanting new boots for awhile now since last year actually but since I was super prego and swollen I figured I better wait - then by then they were all gone!!  So now I have new boots!! Oh and the fact they were on sale - even better!!

3) Shutterfly! I love Shutterfly but the fact that they have a app for the iPhone so I can upload my pics just about whenever I want and not have to worry about Kid Clammy deleting them is such a plus!!

4)  More work on the house this weekend - but that means that things are coming along.  I think! 

Some pics of what has been happening!

5) This guy started preschool!! Day's 1 and 2 were a success!! No tears and happy at pick up!! Momma on the other hand - well I cried both days and the second day was even harder than the first.  At least I didn't let him see my tears!!

Happy Friday - Have a great weekend!!

Shame on Me

Shame on me for being a bad blogger.  No posting for over 2 weeks!! I suck!!  I have every excuse in the world for why I haven't blogged - no time, busy holidays, being out of town for 5 days, work, kids, getting a cold and so on and so forth!!  I have been having so many ideas go through my mind with what I have wanted to post. For instance a Christmas recap, a DIY post, a post about resolutions, and some other stuff!  Until then - a recap of our weekend!  House, House, House - nothing but house all weekend.  We made some good progress - I even pitched in and did more manual labor than I would have liked.  As of late Sunday afternoon - there is some drywall and insulation back up in the ceiling, I prepped the bedrooms so they were ready for texture, primer and paint.  The texture has been done - shout out to Uncle!!

Drywall waiting to be installed

One of the rooms textured - check out that ceiling fan - yeah that going to be replaced with a new free one!!

Put my chop saw skills to work!
