Hey Everyone Well...Today has not been a get up and go day for me unfortunately :( I am having some girly stuff so I have kind of just been taking it easy because I am pretty drained but I am hoping I might get a few random things done this evening- like updating  the main gift guide page or some simple things like that :) David actually came home for Lunch which like never happens hardly ever anymore so that was kind of cool. I remember when he used to come home for lunch all the time!  He knew I wasn't feeling well so he came to see me so that was nice :) He was like you better take a nap lol so I took the advice. First time I have napped in I don't know when.. It really isn't that easy to nap because of all the construction work going on and then Marley starts barking and what not so. I was lucky to get about an hour nap :) Right now it is pretty much 30 minutes or so before David gets home for the day and I am making sloppy joes for dinner so I am going to make sure that … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone Well.. It is about 1:30 and I have got all the random general housework that I generally have to do , done already and I am thinking about sitting here and seeing if I can churn out any reviews or at least do some "pre-writes" or something like that. It is SO tempting to take a nap for some reason, which is weird because I never take naps anymore because it is too loud around here in the day to do that anymore! I just kind of got out of the habit- which I am not saying is a bad thing but sometimes naps aren't a bad thing lol Dinner wise we are having salad with chicken, so that is easy peasy and I am glad of it .. I went to the store and got some random stuff for the week and I was going to get the stuff for lettuce wraps and would you believe they didn't have my crispy rice noodles? Or SALAD toppings. I was like well I guess I shouldn't be that shocked. Sometimes our walmart doesn't even have fries or even sams cat liter so.. go figure right? I didn't get a whole … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone So I am hanging out waiting to go over to my mom and dads here in a few minutes to drop off a sound bar, set up their fire tv and eat! We had to wait this parade out, especially since they were out and about here and there this morning so.. it has kinda ate the day up. It is o.k though- even though I haven't hit the ground running so to speak I have done a few pitches for a mesh wifi router which is something that we are really needing so at least I feel a little bit accomplished. I am hoping that when we come back I can maybe start cleaning out some stuff or write a review or something like that. I know I had started working on a review yesterday but I never finished it, and it should be an easy write. Right now I am kind of on a free for all when it comes to reviews - meaning it doesn't matter if I am writing them in the order recieved just as long as I write them :) We'll see if that narrows things down a bit for me! Like I say though as long as I work on them a … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone Well.. I am trying to get up and going today :) I want to do some pre-writing on some reviews if I can but we'll see how that goes. I am not "nichole behind" anymore but I would LOVE to actually be ahead so .. here is hoping. I actually got out the macbook and was sitting here going to watch some Another World while I caught up on a few things but would you not just know I wasn't thinking and turned on the dishwasher and so now with it and all the construction noise it is about impossible to hear anything!  Which our dishwasher is loud anyways, and the older AW's tend to be really low volumed so.. just isn't a good mix there! Hopefully the dishwasher will be done for the most part here in a bit so I can watch it :) I know that I am just about out of ideas for dinners and I know for years I have said I am going to sit down with magazines and cook books and figure out this crap at least on a 2 week menu plan and I never do but.. maybe if I say it enough I will do it. I … [Read more...]
