One of my newest goals....and it's very important people

Well, I bought my first rode bike a couple of years ago. And I want to tell you it took me a good year to actually get the nerve up to buy it. I was so intimidated by the actual bike purchase. Even though I really really really wanted one, I just felt like I would look stupid when it came to buying one. I didn't know anything about real...

T minus 29 hours till "The Shower"

One of my besties is due February 18th with her first bundle of joy. She and her hubs decided to not find out what they were having, so the shower and nursery are gender neutral with yellow, black and white. The nursery has the words "you are my sunshine" up on the wall, which is really adorable. So the whole shower is going to be decorated around the colors and you are my sunshine. Of course I wanted to throw her a shower,...

This is why we can't have nice things

So remember I have the most blissful relaxing looking slip covered sofa? You can see it here..... Well last night after the slipcover had been washed and cleaned and put nicely back on the sofa frame I sat there enjoying the pure whiteness and beauty of it. I love a clean house and due to my busy-ness lately, my house has been anything but clean. I just want a couple days off to clean and organize it all. Anyways, back to the...

Snail mail

I am waiting for some mail to come. Or waiting for a phone call. Waiting, waiting, waiting. Waiting is the hardest part, the not knowing what is going to be delivered into my little mailbox. It could be a happy letter or a back to the drawing board letter......That little mailbox has a lot of power over me right now. And a lot of my attention. So please excuse my distraction and lack of blogging at the moment..... I will just...

Love hate relationship

I love the first hour I am awake each morning. The quietness, the coldness, the sun not up yet. Depending on the day I bounce out of bed or slowly migrate to the kitchen and start my day. The dogs are buzzing around ready to attack any squirrels in the yard that may have intruded over night. They have a little ritual of stretching, doggie yawning, and collar shaking they do by the back door before I let them out to explore. I...

I owned 3 hotels and all the railroads

This weekend was a blast. Lots of fun with skiing, hot tubing, and just relaxing by the fire. It's funny how board games as adults are even more fun than you remember them as a kid. I never remember really liking Monopoly. Actually I remember it as the longest game on the planet, taking too much time and never getting to the purchase of...

Countdown till vacation

I like to think I am a work hard, play hard kinda girl. And yes I have been working hard, but I have to say I have been playing a lot too. However, you can always use more play. I haven't taken a "real" vacation since May, wait I guess you could count Vegas which was September. Still September was awhile back so I think I am due;) All work and no play makes for a dull Lindsey, and stressed out one too! I need to take a break...

What's my purpose?

Well I hate to say it but I have not been attending church as often as I should. Life gets busy and for some reason I get off track and don't go for weeks at a time. But today, as usual I felt like the sermon was directed just to me. It was about how everywhere you look you should see signs as to your purpose in life. The purpose God has...
