So Pleased

Thursday, October 6th, 2011

My husband and I did some painting last weekend. It was not a big one though since we only painted the wall above the fireplace. It had a cream colored paint before. We wanted something bold like what we saw online so we painted it with a cinnamon color and it is really nice! I just love it!

In addition, we also did something on the side wall near the windows beside the main door. We made four vertical rectangles measuring three feet high each and a foot wide. I am going to put 8 x 10 photos on it. I’ve seen the design on HGTV and I definitely liked the idea. We also painted it cinnamon to match the wall above the fireplace.

I have yet to put the photos because I will still buy frames this weekend. I can’t wait to see them on the wall.

He’s the One That Lights My Fire

Monday, September 19th, 2011

It has been really chilly today. I had the furnace on, but it felt like it didn’t warm the house at all. Maybe the best thing for me to do is use the fire place or perhaps, go outside and light the outdoor firepit. That sounds like a good idea, but with the husband by my side.

I don’t want to go out and sit there alone. Isn’t it more romantic to feel the warm of the firepit as well as feel the warmth of your husband too? That would be the best furnace ever. You reckon? LOL.

One of These Days, I’ll Have One of My Own

Guess what is keeping me busy today? While I am waiting for the clothes to get dry in the dryer, I am browsing this website on park model trailers again. Yes, again, because it is not only today that I have checked them. I have been checking the site regularly. You want to know why? It’s because I just love the interior inside those trailers, most especially the kitchen. I would say it is my dream kitchen.

If I only had the money now, I would buy one of those trailers, but we are simply on a tight budget at the moment. In the near future perhaps? We’ll see about that.

I Want a Perfect Kitchen to Go With a Perfect Entertainment Center

I’ve been looking for great deals on appliances since last night. Our neighbor got an awesome deal on her kitchen appliances which included a refrigerator, electric stove and dishwasher. I am looking for the same things, plus a home theater system and I did find some that really are so affordable.

There was a side by side refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave and electric oven for only 900 bucks. Isn’t that cool? I am still continuing my search for the home theater system. I hope I will be lucky enough to find a samsung home theatre system that would fit our budget. Good luck to me!

Such Good Boys I Have; They Worked While I Played

Sunday, May 29th, 2011

It was such a busy, but great day for the whole family. While I was at the spa and being pampered totally for five hours, the husband and my son went grocery shopping and then did some spring cleaning in the yard, etc.

They picked me up at 3 o’clock in the afternoon and when we got home, I was really happy about what the two of them had accomplished while I was gone. Aside from the cleaning and all, the husband was also able to install the outdoor lighting that he purchased recently. My boys have been really good today. They will be rewarded.

Good boy, Honey!

The husband was such a busy boy today. He mowed and cleaned the yard – front and back, he cleaned the roof and got rid of all the leaves, he disposed of the materials that needed to be recycled because the bins were full, and he went shopping for groceries. I didn’t want him to go shopping because I knew he was tired, but he ran out of canned vegetables that he will pair with the chicken for dinner, and he can’t have dinner without his vegetables, so he went.

He is such a hardworking man which I am so proud of not to mention, a good boy too. And that is not only today, but everyday. (“,)

And Only Women Can’t Make Up Their Minds?

My fiancé will be shopping for door hardware this weekend after finally finishing the repainting of the bedrooms. He needs to replace the door knobs in those rooms. Though they are still usable, they really look old, per him. I haven’t seen the knobs so I am trusting everything to him. I actually browsed for door hardware at the same time online while we were talking on Skype and I found some that I like and that’s the Baldwin door hardware. They were not only affordable but very sophisticated.

I immediately informed him upon seeing the wide array of door hardware so he could check it out himself. He found them nice too, but still has yet to decide which one he likes. I don’t know exactly what’s making him indecisive. Or maybe he’s playing his game again, as if he doesn’t like my choices and then will just surprise me later after he’s already bought them

Hmmm…that do make me think. Yeah, maybe that is it! Gotcha, Honey! You can’t fool me. You’re just trying to pull one of your famous, and notorious gotchas on me. Hee hee!
