Amazing

Yesterday, January 21, 2013 was absolutely amazing. 4 years ago I missed the inauguration of President Obama because I was moving and Direct TV did not come to install my cable until it was over. YES I was HOT!!!! I believed it was the man holding me back from enjoying our first black president. SO this year, I couldn’t be happier to know that the inauguration would be held on Martin Luther King Day AND on a day I already had off from work. LET ME TELL YOU….IT WAS AMAZING!!!!

DIY project 1

Let me begin this post by saying…. if you know me, then you know I am the ultimate DIY’er (do it yourself’er). Being raised by a strong, black, independent woman, I was taught that I can do all things and damn a man. Seriously…she said that. I am naming this blog DIY project 1 but trust and believe this is probably my 150th project. This is the first that I am going to blog about.

Marriage! It is said that once you are married you become one. Everything must be discussed together, as a cohesive unit for the improvement of the team. WELL.... not my husband. This man has come home with everything from cars to dogs... And yea I mean everything in between.

Now one may ask, "Why does your husband come home with stuff before discussing it with you?" Well, the answer is simple. I am the sensible one aka frugal better known as CHEAP. I pride myself as being a clearance diva. I lay out our finances and I figure each item into our budget before I can say ... YES, we can do this. The man I married believes in the Nike slogan... Just Do It

Going to work blues

As a new blogger, I have been pondering on what to blog about next.... this insane dog??? My kids that can work a nerves??? What to talk about??? Thinking hard about the next subject, I got out of my bed to make my morning cup of coffee.

Today is Sunday....Sunday January 6th....this means WORK tomorrow. DAMN IT work!!!! What may not be known is that I have been on vacation for two weeks. I didn't take this time off for any particular reason. I was just tired of going to work in the cold. By the way, one of the reasons I really don't like winter. But as I think about my two weeks off... I have to admit it was awesome.

Christmas was no big fan fare. When your kids are 21 and 15, they know there isn't a Santa. To be honest if they still did believe there was a Santa, I may need to get them check out for some type of mental disorder (seriously). Anyway, we spent our afternoon with the Fortunes. WE love these people. NOW for some strange reason…I don’t have a picture of us there…more than likely I was feeling picture ready. Yep that is probably it. (mental note: must do better on the pics if imma keep this blog entertaining)

My robe and Uggs became my best friends. Being the frugal person that I am (YES frugal not to be confused with CHEAP. There is a difference)….I refuse to have the heater just running. My thinking is, put on some sweats and socks and stay warm so I don't have to pay to keep you warm. So, I wore my robe even when fully dress with my Uggs. By the way... Shouts out to the Australian who made these shoes. OMG!!!! I love my Uggs. Not more than my IPhone but pretty damn close.

Became a master pool cleaner. I must say I am very proud of myself for this accomplishment. Damn almost forgot about me climbing a ladder to get to the top of a big ass tree for some avocados. Used Lexi to haul wood to the house. ( Lexi is my car... FYI). I buckled down on my knitting project. (YES I KNIT). OH.... And re-organized my dishes in my cabinet.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
