3 years and still going strong!

Today is our 3 year wedding anniversary! It just so happens that this is the one week a year that Lee is totally unavailable so we can't go out tonight for it. But we are going out Friday night! I had no idea this was coming:The card reads: "The best three years of my life, so far. Happy Anniversary. Love, Lee."
Yes, I cried.

Weekend fun

This week was stressful! I was sick starting Tuesday night, still feeling some effects today but don't want to let that slow me down. We took pictures at work and I can't wait to see them! My new little blazer I got was perfect. Thursday I was barely at work b/c we closed on our loan for the kitchen and will have the money on Tuesday! So that means this next weekend we need to buy appliances and such. I hope the fridge I like is still on clearance!! That saves alot of money.
Friday Lee and I went out to dinner and then watched "There will be blood." It was actually really good, and not really any blood...
Today we are taking the babies to the park to play and then going out to dinner with Tony and Tiffanie. They live around the corner and we never see them! Although, it was Tony last weekend that was the voice behind the PS3 debacle!
Tomorrow - no plans! :)
The kitchen actually won't start until the 21st, but since Lee won't be in for dinner at all next week, I still won't really be cooking. Maybe I can try the Hungry Girl taco salad again... that was enormously satisfying! I will probably be a slim fast queen too - i need to get more serious about losing the weight I want to.

Off to play on this great sun-shiny day!

TV mania!

With everyone's favorite shows coming back in next week or so, I wanted to share one of my favorite guilty pleasures. When tv season is really ramped up, I have a hard time keeping up with all the recaps, but they are witty and give some good insight.
http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php
They cover almost everything I watch and some of the stuff is really funny. I especially enjoy the American Idol recaps because the sarcasm is thick and awesome.
They just re-did the format and I really like it. I have been coming to this site daily for a few years now and still can't get enough. I was roaming around on it now and they even have a Movies Without Pity section. They don't do the fun recaps, but they have alot of articles on there and links to reviews. They also have a fun section "Brilliant but Canceled" that is nice if you had that one show you really liked and those bastards canceled it!!!

Tomorrow is closing on the loan. Yay! I my have to stop at Ann Taylor on the way to work after... there is a cute khaki jacket I have been eying and it is on sale and now that the outfit is in my head... i must get it! Maybe some jeans too. My jeans are worn looking and I want a nice pair of dark ones that you can dress up with heels or wedges.

Yay spring/summer! Wedges and skirts and tank tops oh my!

Noodles

Ok, I tried the Shritakie Tofu Noodles last night and they were actually good! My only complaint is that they were chewy. I had the fettucini shaped ones, so maybe the spaghetti ones - being less flat - would be less chewy... Plus marinara would be YUM!

Spring Cleaning Part 1

Today I cleaned out the closets. I had sets of clothes in each closet so I went through and pulled out things I never wear and put them in a bag. Then I moved all the winter/fall stuff into the spare closet and moved some spring stuff into our master bedroom closet (the whole 8' wide by 2' deep closet... nice huh? Old house!) I threw away some dingy and torn stuff, and a mess of wire hangers. Dang dry cleaner!!
Sunday we have to clean out the kitchen since demo commences on Monday! So I am sure alot of stuff will be box'd to give away and the rest will be organized chaos in the guest room to put away when the new kitchen is finished. I am excited about that because my organizational skills can be put to work!
Poor Lee, when I come to him when the kitchen is done and say "So I need to buy decorational things for on top of the cabinets!"... he will be like "BUT THE KITCHEN WAS SOOOO PRICEY!" :) Hey, he's the one that married a designer.
I have a Schnauzer poster that i got a few months ago that I need to get framed to go in the kitchen. I can't decide on wood frame or white (goes with the kitchen.)

The wood would look best, but maybe a chocolate mat with white frame would be pretty too.
I am worn out from cleaning the closet, so I am going to make my dinner and head to the sofa for some R&R. I am making the Tofu Noodles tonight. I can't decide on the alfredo recipe or if I should just cook the noodles and put marinara on top with some cheese. I guess I will see how I feel.

Woo-hoooo!

I just washed my last batch of dishes in my kitchen EVER! YAYHOOOOOO!!!!
Bring on the dishwasher!

Money...that's what I want!

Soooo.... Yesterday Lee is hanging out with Tony and they start talking about the Play Station 3. And not 1 hour later, we have one in our living room. This creates a whole new problem. Our current surround sound receiver and the PS3 don't have all the right ports to let everything hook up nicely and work together. So now Ben and Lee are out to buy a new receiver. Yet, just yesterday Lee was all "we spend too much money" while I am getting a dog seatbelt for Lola (Teddy uses Luther's) since I will be transporting them around town all the time during the kitchen renovation. Okie Dokie! Lee said "Hey, we can say this is what we did with that extra tax check we get this year." Something tells me Mr. Bush didn't want those checks being spent on gadgets and gizmos! (or whoist's and whatsit's for that matter..)

Menu This week:
Sunday: Shrimp and Chorizo sausage and spanish cous-cous
Monday: Steak, green bean, and pepper stirfry.
Tuesday: Lee's out. I will try the Hungry-Girl approved Alfredo with the tofu noodles I got last week....
Wednesday: Out with Andy and Candace.
Thursday: Thursday night dinner at Donald and Jimmy's.
Friday: Always out!!

This is officially the last week I will be cooking in this kitchen, and I somehow got away with only 2.5 nights (tuesday's is a microwave-all-the-parts meal).

I washed my hair this morning and can already see the highlights a little more, but I still want to go back, like tomorrow, and get more. I will wait. But you know, after all this gadget buying this weekend, I feel less bad about how much my blonde transition will end up costing!! STILL LESS THAN THE PLAYSTATION!!!

I need a margarita...
