has to be my new jewelry organizer.  I kept all my jewelry in one of those hanging bags with pouches...so blazay...and it was always hidden.  I needed something that was in my face, daily and I could see what I had. I scoured the blogs and saw something similar to what I made, but for the life of me I cannot remember the blog or the tutorial, so I cannot link back. Sorry! I went to my local

that I blogged about here.  I am a procrastinator...but I finally finished the second table this weekend.  It was a lot more work than I anticipated.  I modified the base from the original plans because I want to add some baskets for storage. Check out Anna White's blog, she is fabulous. Her plans are very easy to follow, very thorough.

I have been neglecting the blog.  We had a busy summer, and I didn't take any pics! Well except for their birthday which I will post later! These are just some random t-ball shots, followed by the end of the year party and trophy ceremony!  It was cute and they even made sure the girls trophies had girl players on them.

I found my camera cord! Thank you lawd!  I was cleaning up last week, preparing for my moms visit and BAM. there it was on top of the refrigerator.  Yeah I know, why was I cleaning the top of the fridge?  Whatevs...I found it. So Gabby had her recital a couple of weeks ago, and there were no cameras or camcorders allowed into the theater (WTF?) so here are pics from the day of the rehearsal.

the wire to my camera so I can download pics.  Blah.  Nothing fantastic is going on .  The kids started baseball, Gabby revealed she no longer likes dancing and it's HOT! Mom is coming for a visit in June, so that shall be nice.  The kids turn 6 soon. My gawd, where does the time go!  I still need to figure out what we are going to do. Decisions on a small budget are HARD! Running has worked

I loved this book.  I like period pieces that make you feel like you are in that era, and Sara Gruen did just that with this book! Was SOOOOO EXCITED to find out that a film adaptation is in the works, and even more excited that Robert Pattinson will play Jacob (Robert playing a Jacob,,hahahaha) and Resse Witherspoon will play Marlena!

I guess I should have asked before I bought but I needed a makeup primer badly. Been reading up on all the reviews and it seems NARS is pretty well liked throughout the Blogging/Beauty world. Sephora carries so much, I was a little overwhelmed at first. I also need an eyeshadow primer and think I am going ot try Urban Decays Eyeshadow Primer Potion.  Can I just say how much I love love love Kat

As I was pulling everything off the walls in my downstairs bathroom for the re-do, I dropped my $2 Big Lots picture.  It was a space filler, but as I mulled over it a bit I figured out what I could do with things I already had.  I see that Monograms are big right now, so I joined in. I bought some clearance fabric at Joann's, it's really funky and stretchy and I was gonna use it to try and make

So with all my new found ambitiousness, there is one thing that scares me.  A SAW! Ackkk!  I think it might be the noise it makes.  Let's not forget the NAIL gun.  I handled one when we installed our floors.  So LOUD.  But I want to try my hand at building a console table! Knock-Off Wood shows us bloggers "How to Build Knock-Out, Knock-Off Furniture".  She breaks all her plans down, step by step

OPI Shim-Merry Chic is lovely isn't it? But what a bitch to get off, I still have glittery somethings stuck to my nails and I used a ton of Acetone.

I messed up the camera setting so the pics are sorta blurry, but you'll get the idea!  I decided to go with the beadboard wallpaper that I read about on Southern Hospitality, she bought her's at The HD, and I found mine at Lowes for $14 a roll.  I only used one of the two I bought and it went up rather easy, I didn't have to mess with it too much other than get the air bubbles out.  I let that

Just a few pics from our BIG SNOW storm.  I shoveled the driveway and walkway, and it broke away in huge ice sheets, which the twins and Katie built an ice fort.  I really need ot invest in some snow boots, because my Aasics were soaked!

When we first moved in, I was gung ho about redoing this bathroom.  But motherhood got in the way, the twins were 6 months old when we bought the house.  Fast forward 6 years later, still the bathroom remained undone, well except for the popcorn ceiling removal that went horribly craptastic. I wanted to fix the ceiling but didn't want to add the acoustics again, so after some googling, I found

As I stated here, I wanted to try and make a shelf.  It was a little tricky, but in the end it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be!  I did make one cut to short but I added a scrap on the end and Voila! Done!  I got the board free from The HD, it was scrap, the paint was $.99, the corbels were $8 and the molding was $5.  I picked up the wrong finish of spraypaint, I noticed this

Boy what agreat thing I did, I not only got what I needed, I had a million questions answered, and I left with 2 free 8"X12" planks.  Total spent was less than $30, because I didn't have a miter box saw.  I will get to work on my shelf this weekend and update.  Wish

These are a few of my favorites: (click on pics...courtesy of VampyVarnish) OPI Hong Kong Collection Suzy Says Feng Shui Jade is The New Black Of course Jade is my favorite out of the whole collection, then the blue Feng Shui. Both are gorgeous creme colors.

I have always wanted shelves in my house, but never really found anything I liked and for the price I liked. I want chunky, sturdy looking shelves, and PotteryBarn has some great shelves but very expensive.Thanks to the ThriftyDecorChick I have finally found my answer, build them myself. And the best part is, the price. And it's super easy!She also made this really cool table for behind her couch

So I have discovered a new blog Vampy Varnish. She reviews, what else, Nail lacquers! She has opened up a whole new world for me. Deborah Lippman, Illamasqua, and Butter London. But that comes with a PRICE ( a very high one to be exact) I saw this on her blog: It is pure LIQUID PURPLE GOLD! OME, talk about drool. I have never seen a purple shine like it. I hate to admit that I paid $20 w/

So I was getting my nails polished at my local salon and was flipping through the latest version of NailPro Mag (I used to work for them, many moons ago) and I saw that OPI has a new collection coming out this fall (the earlier the better), the Spain Collection. I am a lover of the dark, luscious nail colors. This is going to be the death of me, because you know how expensive their lacquers are.

is officially ours for the week of AUG15 - AUG23! We first rented this townhouse (owned by G's boss) last year and were more than pleased with the property. Plenty of rooms and space, flat screens in a few of the rooms which was a major plus! I am definitely looking forward to our vacation this year! I also booked my airline ticket to CA last week. My youngest sister is getting hitched on SEPT28

On June 27th, 2009 my babies turned 5! Still can't believe it. I need some bricks to put on their heads to stop them from growin up! We decided to have a Bowling Party since it is soo hot during this time. It was a fun, chaotic party! I recommend Buffaloe Lanes in Cary and ask for Erica to be your party hostess. She was awesome!After that we headed back to the house and we had a cookout. Sooo

for reminding me. We heard last week that our appeal was APPROVED. The duo is scheduled to attend Swift Creek Elementary. Go COUGARS! This was our second choice, but just as equally great news.It is a Traditional calendar school, and from what I have researched, has excellent/high test scores from the lower grades. Oh and their after school care is $70 less per child a month. Woo effin hoo. Was

and it started at 8 AM! What a hot morning. But we did it we finished the season and the kids loved it, never complained once, gung ho all the way. We had great coaches even if one of them kept calling Gabby "Debbie". On to Soccer! Here are a few pictures from the "Medal Ceremony". (Photos courtesy of my Verizon Blitz)

I recently read The Road. What a fascinating book. Scared me a bit more than I would like to admit. It left me with a gazillion questions that I am hoping the movie will answer. Vigo Mortensen, love him. Finding time to read daily is getting pretty hairy! But I am trying to catch up, since we are in summer as we speak, the time when I get allot of my reading in for the year!

that I am going to be 32 years old. But I couldn't help myself. I finally gave in and bought Twilight. I loved the series and the movie when it first came out. I told myself that I was not going to get the DVD, aaaaaaaahhhhhh the INSANITY. I bought it last week, along with a few DVD's for the kids bday! We, as in D &G (who love Jacob too BTW) watched it 5 times last weekend. We just couldn't get

This brought tears to my eyes! From my MIL:"Hi Everyone I just wanted to tell you what nice thing happened to Derrick and Gabby this morning. We were at Panera's restaurant and we met a really nice solider. Well Derrick kept telling the man that he has a Army Guy just like him, very excitedly and he said his army guy even has the same color of hair. The man laughed and then got down to shake

Where did May go? Plans for the duo's 5th birthday are almost done. We are having it at Buffaloe Lanes in Cary. They are excited, but I think I over did it with the guest list. Oh well. They graduated preschool a few weeks ago, it was the cutest thing ever. Not a dry eye in the house.They are scheduled to start Kindergarten in July (yikes). We have applied for a transfer to a few other schools. I

We have been extremely busy.  We went camping, then Mothers Day crept up on us, Gary went to SC and I am redoing all of our flower beds and creating some new ones, all the while cleaning up our backyard.  I am exhausted.  I will post pics of the camping trip soon.  Other than that, nothing really new to update.  Just chugging along like normal.

Surgery went well, better than I expected. Recovery has been good, rough at times, but good. We had him doped up for the last 3 days, and we have cut his meds back, but looks like we need to up them again. Baby boy is in pain. Sad to see him this way.Last Saturday was the twins first t-ball game. Gabby did better than expected, emotionally, She has been this bundle of emotions lately, shy and

I am hopeful that this is a sign of good things to come.Gary has been in GA the past 3 days and it has been a little stressful, with starting the new job and some news we received in regards to his snoring.

I finally join the workforce AGAIN. It's been rough the last few weeks, but brighter days are ahead. It's a great opportunity with a small company in Cary. The owners are the sweetest couple I have ever met. They have a great core value and I am excited that I have a chance to show what I can do.My knee is still on the mend. I went to see an ortho and he examined and took xray's of my knee.

I took a few days off of exercising to rest and recupe, for my long run today.Yesterday I did some strength training.

WTF? I was totally fine this morning and then around 11AM I started to feel achy and filled with the chills. Blah. I went for my run anyways, and went very slow. I actually think my time is off, but i forgot what time I started. Oh well.I was talking to Lesley via Facebook, and she is doing the Bank of America Raleigh Rocks Half Marathon, which was my very first Half Marathon, and she

I usually like doing this, but not when it's 40 degrees. and since it was a scheduled trail run, another strike against running outside today. I opted for the dreadmill at the gym. 5 mile speed work. I was sucking wind at the end, thought I wasn't gonna make it.In other news:My mom finally received her itinerary for her trip up here in February. She was waiting for the approval from Continental,

did I gain 3lbs? Man that is sooo frustrating. Aagh. Whatever. I am getting stronger in my running, and I feel better overall. But that weight thing still looms over my head......soo ANNOYING!I think I am going to move up my runs, and schedule my longer run for Saturday mornings. It will just be easier for me.

GCB and I decided to take the kids to our local Chinese New Year celebration. The kids were free, and it was raining, so it was a perfect time to be indoors. There were vendors and performers, and lots and lots and lots of PEOPLE.Some of them feeling very ENTITLED. But I kept my mouth shut and enjoyed the festivities. The twins tried Chinese food for the first time. They loved the noodles. SX

Well I shovelled snow for the first time in my entire life. and it BLEW.BIG.TIME! I feel sorry for Lacy who moved to North Dakota (from Arizona) where they were -35 a few weeks back. I wonder how she deals with all that white stuff? Because I am ready for it to be gone.The kids have had a ton of fun. Snow ball fights, sledding, snow angels. I am pooped.So I counted the hour I shovelled snow as my

I still can't believe it snowed. and snowed. Allot for us central NC'ers. The schools were closed and everyone stayed home. Well almost everyone. Heck even my co-worker rode his bike in, crazy fool! The kids had a blast with the snow.

that it was way to cold to go out this past weekend. It was. So needless to say no running for me.All the twins wanted to do was go outside, but on Saturday it was really way tooo cold, and then Sunday it rained all day.But as I type, they are in the back yard with their dad playing t-ball. Yes, he picked them up early and now I can finish my work and go straight home. I really enjoy the days I

gave us a few movies to watch this past week.Taken, Gran Torino, 7 Pounds and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button!I really liked Taken. It was action packed. I thought the plot was a little far fetched, but Liam Neeson is awesome. I mean, who lets their 16 year old daughter go to Paris , ALONE? Don't.Think.So!7 Pounds was awesome. We were a little confused at first, and the flashbacks were not

I can't believe it. I know it's still above zero, but still, it is way to freaking cold! The kids wanted to wear their snow boots (which I bought at Target, on sale, 50% off, total score) to school, and I had no problem with that. I busted out my ski parka and we were on our way! The high for today is 24, which is 20 degrees colder than yesterday, I think I may run on the treadmill this afternoon

I was v. sore on Saturday morning and since we had a full day planned, I opted out of running. I am glad I did, because I was feeling better on Sunday, so I went for a 3 miler. I have to keep telling myself that I am off my base and the runs will get easier. I was hurting a little bit but I can tell I am getting my base back! Today's Run: 3 miles / 36:21 time

Getting OP with WW! I have been trying to get on track the last 6 months and finally after all the hoopla of the Holidays, I can focus on ME!Running will be my come back sport! I wasted too much time not running. I refuse to go any longer without it (and so does my PANTS :squeeze:)I started a Biggest Loser contest on my TIF board, and we have a decent turn out.

So last year was the first year we had a kid friendly party for NYE. It was a hit so we decided to do it again this year, and wouldn't you know, most of our partygoers were kidless! Ha Ha Ha.We had a killer time, dancing, singing, drinking, eating and ofcourse setting off the infamous firecracker heard 'round the 'hood!

We had a great Christmas this year. We went a wee bit overboard but nothing like the previous year, So we were happy about that. We tried to instill the most important part about Christmas: Celebrating the birth of the Baby Jesus, which they understood, mostly due to their christian preschool and some because I pound it into their brains for a whole two weeks. And they still liked the presents

We (Gretchen and I) took the kiddies to meet the Jolly old Elf himself, Santa and take a train ride in the crisp NC winter air. What a load of crap that was. It sucked. They rushed the Big Guy just as it was the kids turn to take their pic. So here is what we got:The Scariest Santa's helper ever!The kids had their Christmas Pageant last week and ofcourse I could not go because of my job. Anywho,

I saw my dermatologist last week for a follow-up visit, she wanted to know how the prescription was working. Not GREAT I told her. The Clobetasol helped with the scabbing but the TSal did not help with the itching! Blah.So she prescribed another 2 treatments. Clobex Shampoo which is an odd liquid. I have to apply it to a dry scalp, leave in for 15 minutes, then lather and rinse.I am currently

I surprised the twins with tickets to go see Disney on Ice. It was a fun show and they loved it. It was a wee bit cold in the complex, but other than that the characters were great and the skating was awesome!Derrick's favorite part was Cars, ofcourse. Gabby's favorite was Tinkerbell (which was a really long part)

We have been really busy and have not had time to decorate it, other than the Angel and the lights. But I think it is our ptrettiest tree yet!

How long has it been you asked? I have no idea. I am thinking 3 months. Aaaagh. I worked sooo hard and for what? To gain most of it back? My clothes are getting sooo tight. I am tired all the time. I hate my job and have been using that as my excuse for falling off the wagon.I did start WW AGAIN last week, and I have vowed not to eat out (lunch) for the whole month of December, which has been

But when it came time to head back, they were exhausted.Along one of the trails is a bridge and let me tell you, that sucker was not stable, I feared for us all. But the kids wanted to run and jump across this thing. I

It's really ugly looking and is keeping me from wearing my hair up and the dandruff? Jeez I have the worst dandruff ever. It's disgusting. I was able to finally get in to see a dermatologist today, YEAH, so I am hoping this will be the end of my suffering!
