— Here’s What I Have to Say —

I had forgotten that my website has the ability to do polls. I give it options and you, my faithful readers, get to vote on said options. I need to give it a try. Now I just need you to give me some suggestions on a poll topic! Ready….. Set…. GO!

The other night when we had friends over for this meal, Chuck also made the tastiest fruit salad. I think it's my new favorite combination of fruits….strawberries, pineapple and grapes. YUM! He made a huge batch and we ate it the next day with every meal! I highly recommend giving it a try. Also….please note...

They are still working like crazy on the house. All day Saturday they worked on drywall inside and tons of people came by this weekend to see the house and the one next to it. (But there's still no “Purchased” sign on either of them. They are also going to start another house 3 houses...

I spent the morning at Studio at Rush Creek with Paige. We made a bunch of glass pendants for her wedding. I won't tell you what we are doing with them yet, but it will be very cool! We made over 140 of them in just over 2 hours. It was loads of fun! I...

This is my brother's girlfriend's new kitten. Her name is Emma. She's so fuzzy! She's a medium hair cat and has the bushiest tail. It's fun to play with other people's animals. After being petless for a couple months, it's really quite nice! So I'll just have get my kitty fix elsewhere. And Emma will...

I made this last night for dinner when we had some friends over. I haven’t made it for a while, but I was reminded how tasty it was! This is from Kraft Foods. There’s only two ingredients to put on the chicken and then you serve it over noodles. Yum! If you want something quick,...

They did a couple more things I thought I should take pictures of. 🙂 They poured the garage floor. And the concrete for the porch. I believe they have also poured the basement floor now. I looked down the egress window in the back and it looked like it had been done. Of course, there's...

I just can't decide….do I need a twitter account? I keep going back and forth. I am leaning towards yes since I appear to be the only one without one. The thing I really like about facebook is the status updates. Well, that is all twitter is. And If I update twitter, facebook will also...

I finished another one of the books in the shopaholic series. This is book number 4/5. It was a cute story. The main character learns she has a long lost half sister and they are nothing alike…so it seems. It was a fun twist on the character. And just like the other books, she manages...

A couple weeks ago I made my very first attempt at homemade bread from scratch. This means I didn't put it in the bread maker…I mixed it and baked it in the oven. It was a HUGE hit! I made it when Chuck's grandparents stayed with us and again the weekend after that. Both times...

Something about this weather lately has been making me want to ride my bike. I think all the people riding their bikes around the neighborhood are contributing, too. I want to rollerblade, too, but not quite yet. So last night I suggested we go on a bike ride. Chuck said we should probably eat dinner....

One more update and I think I am caught up until they do something really drastic. Which I am hoping will be siding! I can't wait to see what color it's going to be. You will note there are now windows on the house and a front door. There's also shingles on the roof. So...

Look! A roof! How exciting! At least I think it's exciting. 🙂 It looks so different with a roof. It looks like a house now! 🙂 Until next time my house followers!

This was a short little book from two authors…Jack Kilborn and Blake Crouch…titled Serial. I haven't read anything from either of these authors, but this was fun. This book was free, because it was something the authors were trying out. It was also quite short and I have not been able to find it in...

The house is moving right along. They have it all set to put a roof up and have the awning for the front porch attached. Until next time!

I came across this recipe from Kraft Foods website. I love their magazines and I had to give this one a try. I had everything I needed except for the green peppers, but it was great anyway! You can get the recipe HERE. It was really simple and quick to make. And also very delicious!...

I have been wanting new rollerblades for quite some time. I used to have a pair, but I have no idea where they went. And with all the trails around our neighborhood I knew I had to get some. So Chuck and I went out on Thursday and got these beauties for me! Now, I...

Here's another highly anticipated update on the house next door! More house….(This is the side of the house, the side we live on.) And more house…..(This is the front of the house.) And still more house….(You can see a little of our house on the left!) Until next time my fellow house stalkers!

I just finished this the other night. It was the third book in the Shopaholic series. It was yet again another cute book. The story wasn't hard to follow and it was a quick read. I find it amusing that the main caharacter always seems to get herself into such predicaments. I think she has...

Here's another update of the house next door. This is a picture looking in one of the garage doors. You can see the stairs as well as a couple windows above the stairs which are part of the two-story living room. This is standing inside the garage. For this next picture, pretend you are crooked…because...
