HAPPY HUMP DAY!

as promised.. the new furniture!!!!!!1 we are loving it.. now to figure out how to arrange it to not make the living room feel so stinking small LOL suggestions??

ACCOUNTABILITY: barely snuck in 60oz yesterday -need to drink faster today! & we threw darts so that was the extent of the exercise *sigh* oh well... seems I take 2 days off a week so those are it.

YOGA TONIGHT!!!!!!! WHOHOOOOOOOO so ready for it!

Yay for Friday!

I am looking fwd to 2 days of relative relaxing. Sure we have our normal to do lists (cleaning, tax prep, shopping) w/a few fun things (painting, hunting, movies) listed but mostly I am looking fwd to keeping warm, hanging out, & doing things slowly :)

I flopped my first loaf of machine bread ever yesterday LOL... it was about 2" thick in the end. I have no idea what happened but it was nasty. so going to try again today

ACCOUNTABILITY: I was frustrated w/myself last night b/c after work we hauled the couches out for pick up today, ate carry out pizza (gc+coupon=free) for supper & took a nap on the living room floor :( so then when I got up it was too late for my full fit time *sigh* but I did do some & I know some is better than none but still frustrated. hoping to be better disciplined tonight & the rest of the weekend! I did get my whole 80oz in yesterday + an extra 20 :) so that was all good. I think I am doing so well on these 2 that I am going to try to add something else to be accountable for... maybe 3 servings of fruits/veggies? I know sometimes I am good & other times I am not. maybe I will do better if I have to report it. I will give it a test run this weekend & report in on Monday.

APPRECIATE: I appreciate the husband that was napping on the floor (reason I was) that meant he was HOME. I appreciate that the sun has shined/shone almost all week :) hoping it does again today! I appreciate the 40 degree temp we had yesterday that melted almost all of our snow! I appreciate the heads up that its getting cold again.

Today: receipts, honey wheat bread-again only better, & they are dying to vac so we will pick up & they will get to :) I am sure there will be coloring too.

ok.. off to do a warm breakfast, have a GREAT FRIDAY!

I caved...

we ordered furniture today... I hope I don't come across as bragging b/c I am not meaning to but we are very proud of ourselves (& excited!!) to finally be able to get NEW living room furnishings. we have always made due w/hand-me-downs but finally decided (after our chats w/the chiro today) that its time to do it.

He fell in love w/this recliner & we agreed on this sofa (I say couch) & matching chair + ottoman. we went in for 2 recliners & a couch but I fell IN LOVE w/the new chairs that are all big & puffy w/the matching ottoman YUMMMMY!!

IT WASN'T an easy day.. we went to Slumberland first, got no help, found recliner but overwhelmed by couches, went to Homemakers, had great help, w/order pending had printer error so recliner salesman took us to main desk to print & there told us couch saleswoman had NOT Told us we had to pay 25% down due to special order on couch-which would NOT have been an issue had she told us that UP FRONT while we were deciding on a color --btw we took the swatches to the recliner 2x & she was w/us the whole time.. plenty of time for her to tell us --but since she DIDN'T, we cancelled the order & walked out. BACK TO SLUMBERLAND. awesome help, found couch that 'fit' took that swatch to recliner-coordinated- ran credit (b/c we don't do anything w/o a no interest credit deal)-unknowingly picked out end tables that were discontinued & only had one available so scratched them off- ordered all 4 pieces w/5 yr warranties & deliver on financing YAHOOOOOOOO 12 months no interest!!

NOW.... we have a crack (from previous settling) in a wall to patch & texture then that wall to paint (where the couch is/will go) I think we settled on the same color as the hallway.. tan/light brown-peanut butter I think & the big wall (that's the livingroom into the dining room) & the adjoining window wall will stay white for now--I think. can you have too many shades of brown in a house?? we already have 3... 2 in the master bedroom & one in the hallway.... let me know what you think.

So that's what the next 2 weeks will consist of :) just preparing you for boring home improvement posts. hehe.
