10 on Tuesday

1. Heading to Gatlinburg tomorrow.
2. As soon as I can find my transfer cord I'll post a picture of the invite I made for my cousin's lingerie shower.
3. Check out this blog. One Pretty Thing
I love it because it has all kinds of neat ideas and crafts.
4. I haven't been feeling very well lately. Lack of energy and it feels like a cold is coming on. Blah!
5. Looking forward to Lauren's baby shower in a couple weeks!
6. Since I am going to be out of town till Sunday night I am making Wes chocolate chip cookies before I leave. I never make them because I don't really like them, so he hardly ever gets them.
7. Maybe my Tigers can have a better Saturday. It's been sad seeing them lose the last three games :(
8. So anyone getting excited for the holidays? I am. I am going to deck out the house since I didn't get to decorate for fall.
9. Macy is taking dance. Ballet and tap. Bless her teacher for being able to keep her attention for 30 minutes.
10. I have a couple of prayer requests. Wes' grand dad has a some kind of mass on his lungs. They don't know if it is benign or malignant yet, waiting on biopsy results. My Uncle Clyde is going through chemo for a tumor on his bladder. Please keep these men in your thoughts. They are both in their 80's.

Hope everyone had a great Tuesday and I'll catch ya'll next week!

Monday Monday....

now I got that song running through my head!
It's the start of a new week and this one is pretty full for me. Got lots to do as it is Wes' last week of normal work for about a month. Time for another lovely outage and this time he is working 7 days a week, 10 hour days, and is on 2nd shift, which means he works from 5pm to 3am. Bless his heart :)
1. But I do have some great plans while he is doing this. I'm hoping I can surprise him with a newly painted living room and bedroom. He is thinking that we are going to have to paint these things come January and I thought how awesome would I be if I did this for him? One thing to check off the to do list. My mother in law said she'd come help me and might be able to drag my brother in law's girlfriend over to help as well. I just got to figure out the best way to paint the tray ceiling (as we have that in the living room as well as our bedroom) My brother has a really tall ladder that I might can borrow. Hmm....that is the only part that makes me nervous about this little venture.
2. I'm buying my new sewing machine this week! Man I never thought I'd get excited over something like that.
3. Going to Gatlinburg in two weeks. Really looking forward to that one. I think I am mainly excited to see the foilage.
4. I am almost finished with my cousin's lingerie shower invites. I'll post pictures later this week. They are turning out really cute.
5. I have one sick kitty and one who has got to get her lady parts taken care of this week. My poor Gizmo is having some tummy troubles...hopefully he'll be filling better soon. Callie gets the snip snip.
6. Macy "called" me yesterday. Actually Susan called but Macy wanted to talk to me. She informed me that Wes and Candi needed to come see Macy. And yes she refers to herself in third person.
7. We had three year old nursery yesterday at church and I witnessed a three year old meltdown over a plastic cell phone.
8. I don't get to buy Halloween candy this year because no one will be home to answer the door for trick or treaters. I hope that I don't get the bad rap in the neighborhood and being the no candy house! Would it be wierd for me to stick a bowl of candy out on the front porch with a sign to help yourself? On second thought no need to advertise to random strangers no one is home, especially on Halloween.
9. Wes never got my fall decorations down from the attic! So they haven't got put out...so sad too because I have the cutest sit down scarecrows and they would have looked great on my front porch swing. So now I am on a mission to deck out my house in a super manner for Christmas when it comes time.
10. I'm participating in an ornament exchange this year. Fun!
11. Did you know that cats have an adversion to citrus smelling things? We had to spray ALL of our baseboards down with a water mixture that had fresh orange juice squeezed into it because our cats were wanting to work their claws on our baseboards. But it works...they leave them alone. I am thinking Santa is going to bring the kitties a nice cat tree this year. The only thing that worries me about that is them launching themselves off the top of it onto somewhere they aren't supposed to be (like my entertainment center.) I've decided they do this off our couches or something because the other day I came in and somehow and I have no idea how they had knocked one of my iron sconces off my wall. I have no idea!
12. I have a new book series I am fixing to start reading. It's called Twilight and Zach's girlfriend Heather informed me about it. I have tried to get it at the library but it's always checked out. They are only like $7 at Walmart and there are I think three of them in the series. I think I might just have to buy them. They seem to be the "it" books right now. I know they are coming out with a movie on the first book in November. She told me because I loved Harry Potter I should like these. I gotta finish The Good German first.
13. I have found a new lemonade I love. Simply Lemonade. Oh my goodness! Call me crazy but to me it tastes almost like Toomer's Lemonade! And if you have ever had Toomer's lemonade and if you like lemonade you know it'st the best stuff :)
Okay I have bored ya'll for long enough now with my random happenings. Just look at it like a 10 plus some on Monday instead of Tuesday. And until I get a more exciting life then this is what you get haha :) Happy Monday all! Hope your week is great!

A Random Meme

I saw this on another blog that I frequent and instead of doing a typical 10 on Tuesday I decided to do this. I don't have a ton going on right now but I don't want to fall behind on my blogging either. Also I want to wish my daddy a Happy Birthday. He is turning 61 today. Happy Birthday Dad! I love you!
Okay so onto the meme.

Outside my window... is dark with a full moon! Something about full moons in October gets to me :) Typical Halloweeny vibe.

I am thinking... so many things but mainly that God is good and he has blessed me so much.

I am thankful for... my husband. He is there for me when I need him, cheers me up when I am sad, talks some sense into me when I am overreacting, and he will car dance with me and doesn't care if we look like idiots!

From the kitchen... came a simple but good Italian meal for dinner tonight. Stuffed ravioli, ceasar salad, and toasty bread. Yum :)

I am wearing... jeans, a button down 3/4 length shirt that has flowers on it, brown socks and my brown mary janes

I am creating... invitations for my cousin Ashley's lingerie shower

I am going... to Greenhill this weekend to celebrate my father in law's b'day.

I am reading... The Good German by Joseph Kanon

I am hoping... that the vet can get Callie in this week to get her fixed...she's starting to show signs of going into heat and since we have two male kitties as well that won't do.

I am hearing... the tv which is turned to Ripley's Believe it or Not which Wes is watching.

Around the house... is actually pretty clean because I have been trying to keep up with a schedule and so far so good.

One of my favorite things... is this season. Fall to me is so refreshing. I love the leaves and color of trees, I love the way the air smells, I love all the festivals around, I love mums and pumpkins, I love when it gets crisp in the evening, and I love football.

A few plans for the rest of the week... hopefully finishing Ashley's invites so I can get them in the mail next week, celebrating my father in law's birthday, getting the office ready to paint, and organizing my closet.

3. We moved our china hutch into the kitchen. I had to rearrange some stuff. But now I have wall space on either side of the hutch and I gotta find something to go on it.
4. Happy Birthday Holly!
5. Wes starts his fall outage on Oct 25th. He'll be working 2nd shift. He'll be working 7 days a week for 10 hours a day. This outage is supposed to last 4 weeks. We'll see.
6. My daddy's and Wes' daddy's b'day's are next week. We are taking my dad to dinner Saturday night, and then Wes' mom is having a b'day dinner for my father in law next Thursday.
7. Thanks to Colleen for lending me tablecloth/runners for my cousins lingerie shower.
8. We are having slow cooker tostado's tomorrow night. Yum.
9. I made a huge list of books I want to read. Going to the library tomorrow. I'm excited!
10. I can't think of a 10th one right now so I'll just say Hope everyone is having a fabulous week so far!!
