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!
