I really tried

I was supposed to get organized for Christmas this weekend. I was supposed to get the decorations out of the attic, put up the lighted garland, even attempt to put lights up outside. I went shopping for lights, but found none. I know exactly what I'm looking for (me, picky?, no!) but haven't found the right lights yet. The rest of our decorations are (still) in the attic and I am a failure.

Saturday was (supposed to be) my decorating day, only it wasn't. I spent the day with Hubby's mom and our crazy dogs and went to visit Hubby and his dad working on the Christmas tree farm in the crazy, freezing cold. I forgot my camera to capture all of the picture perfect moments of the day. I met two beautiful dogs (and one really mean, yippy dog), picked out our Christmas tree, sat around the fire trying to keep warm, and stayed out of the way of the men at work.

In preparation for my Project 365 challenge, I've been carrying my camera everywhere. For some reason, I took the camera out of my purse and left it home on Saturday. Why? The world may never know. Part of it may be that I got up at 6:30am on my day off. So instead of pictures, you'll have to settle for the promise of pictures in the future. Promise!!

Let's Get This Weekend Started!

So excited for the weekend! Nope, we aren't doing anything special. I just won't have to be at work!

This week wasn't too bad. There were 2 major accomplishments in the wedding plans!! FH finally applied for his passport which I'm really excited about. Maybe we can go to Canada in August :) And I ordered our invitations yesterday! I did it almost entirely online. I really didn't want to have to go to the store to order although it is local so instead I worked out the details over the phone. Unless you know what you want or you really don't care, I recommend going in and picking the invitations out. The font colors look entirely different on the preview screen than they look on the sample invitation, which is why I had to call. I should get them in 2 weeks or so which is awesome. Our wedding is fall-themed so the invitations have pretty leaves on them with goldish writing. Now if only I could find a wedding ring!

Weekend plans include Phillies game Saturday night (Go Phils!) cleaning the house, maybe a BBQ with family/friends, and crafting :) I also have this second job I haven't been to in awhile, like 6 months, that I should go to. It's OK, my mom's my boss!


I've been on break from school for the past week and haven't had motivation to do anything other than lounge around the house and water the plants occassionally. (BTW- I got 2 A+'s....that's just crazyiness! Oh and I start another class next week.). I think to help get back on track and be more active I'm going to make a list of 50-100 goals, set a completion date, and of course blog about it. I borrowed this idea from Anna (who's blog I read because she's so crafty) who is working towards 101 in 1001 days. I can't wait to get started although coming up with a list of 50-100 things will be difficult. More to follow...
