Oh wow

It has been awhile, hasn't it?

Well, I guess my only excuse is that we went on a trip and I just haven't found the time to post since them.  Lots of time for Farmville (thanks, Becky, haha) though!  I finally managed to get the laundry done and the house clean.  Oh, by the way... challenges... not really happening lately, are they?  In November I decided to make my challenge to declutter.  Join me if you will.  I'm in the living room, dining room, entrance, and hallway this week.  Got rid of quite a lot of stuff while cleaning yesturday.

Man has it ever been a busy week!

I did a LOT of shopping.  I LOVE Gordmans!  Got so much stuff for cheap there, too!  All at 1/2 off the clearance price!  So, $65 for 2 shirts for me, 2 for my girl, 2 for my boy, 2 large vases, 2 decorative pillows, a gorgeous tealight holder (I'll have to post a pic of it later, it is so perfect above my kitchen sink), other decorative knicknacks... a wallet... man, I can't remember it all.  I also went to Ikea and had a BALL!  Spent under $280 and got a LOT of organizing stuffs.  Can't WAIT to redo the office now... but that will have to wait until after my sister's wedding as I have to make the cake and two little girl's dresses (and the wedding is in 3.5 weeks... YIKES).  I've been selling books... much easier to sell a book when you have a copy to sell.  I'm hoping for my next 30 to arrive within the next week... I need them for the 12th as I'll be helping at a table in our local mall, selling copies of my book (and some friends books and cd's as well).  Hoping to sell quite a few there.  Hoping.

Oh, and I started my son on rice cereal today.  He's getting so close to 6 months... I can hardly believe it.  He's got two teeth already.  Last time I tried to give him cereal though, he didn't want it .  I loved the look on his face.  Mommy, what are you trying to put in my mouth?  I'll chew on my bib but NOT on THAT!  Makes you wonder what they put in there, haha.

Anyway, that's just a little blurb for now.  Life is so busy, I can hardly stand it.  Right now I'm planning a party for friday that isn't a major thing... just having some fun with food and cake, and playing video games.  Doing it for my birthday a few weeks in advance due to all the hubub around my actual birthday.  Rather have a quiet day then.

Hope you've all had a great weekend, and Happy late Halloween (don't get too many cavities.... I've been eating too much candy lately, believe me).

Are you going to be at the mall on both the 12th and 13th? My dad & sister are having a table there, so I'll probably be there visiting them and looking around sometime Saturday afternoon. Maybe I'll see you?
