Sexy leprechaun dance

I made my first ever slideshow put to music.  One of our friends dressed up on St Patrick's Day and I took a few pictures of him.  I sat down today, figured out that I had the right programs on my computer to put a video together, and created the following:

This isn't my favorite song ever, but it just seemed to work! ENJOY!

Party!

I finally got my pictures uploaded so now it's time to get caught up!

A couple weekends ago, I had a small party.  Unfortunately most of the people I invited got sick beforehand and so only two people showed up.
:(

We still managed to make the most of it and more than made up for the missing people with all the bottles of wine we consumed.  We watched movies, painted our nails, and gave ourselves facials.  It was a blast!

(So much food!)

 

(VooDoo doughnuts...yummmmmm)

(We started the night with ten bottles of wine)

(...and finished with four)

(Party favors and crowns)

(Why keep getting up and going over to the table for more wine when you can just bring the whole bottle instead?)

(We watched The Princess Bride)

 

(Toes!)

(The corkscrew got used a little too much)

Stupid virus!

So I, in all my brilliance, managed to get the Google redirect virus on my laptop.  That was an interesting couple days.  I couldn't log into anything, go anywhere, or pretty much use my computer at all.  Luckily I have an amazing husband who managed to fix it all for me!


I have a lot of catching up to do from when I was gone! There have been parties, work, and leprechauns! As soon as I download my pictures, I will start going post crazy, cross my heart!

Today was....not so much fun

I have a cold! :( It is not how I wanted to spend my day, I was actually looking forward to going into work today too!  Instead, I've spent it curled up on the couch staring at an ever growing pile of tissues. Sigh.

To make this post more fantastic...my dogs:

My Border Collie, Ash.  He is super shy and hates having his picture taken.  He somehow knows when you switch from doing something on the phone to getting ready to take a picture!  This is the best picture I have ever been able to take of him.

Krypto on the other hand doesn't mind having his picture taken, so you get two of him.  That said, he sleeps so much, it's hard to get a picture of him where he is actually awake, in fact, he is currently passed out on top of my feet!  These two pictures were his attempt to help me with laundry...

 

Rawr!

Yay!!!

**SWOON**

So, I like to lurk (gasp!) on a site called thenest.com.  I recently came across a post that completely made my day/week/year!

http://community.thenest.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/64063274.aspx

I would like to say that, yes I did get a kick out of that entire thread! I am very pleased that I have now had artwork made/edited to be about me.

Since this blog is about both K & my life, I suppose I should post more about him too.  Right now I am as good as being single.  He is playing Mass Effect 3 which gives me plenty of "me time" for the next week! I have also learned this week, that if you are married to someone who is very much into video games, it is not a good idea to call Mass Effect, Modern Warfare.  I don't know that he will ever get over the hurt on that one!

So I have found my favorite blog ever.  She is a new blogger, and her posts always make me laugh.  I love her outlook on life and hope she keeps it up for a long while (well, I hope she finds her perfect job, but then keeps blogging even afterwards).

Without further ado:

What I Did Today Instead of Working

Read it, love it, it is awesome!

My weekend project!

I decided that I was tired of how my fireplace looked and wanted to change it.  Before we bought our house, there had been an insert in it that had to be removed before we could buy.  The insert left a huge black soot(?) mark around the entire fireplace.  In addition, the inside of the fireplace was covered in ash that had sat for years.

Yesterday I scrubbed it clean. It took a few hours and many many trips to the bathroom for clear water, when I finally gave up, it looked even worse than when I started.  When I got up this morning, and all the water had dried, I had hope again! a little more cleaning and it was time to paint.  It took two coats and a few more hours, but I am very happy with the finished project!

(Before)

(my clear water turned black very quickly)

 (End of day 1)

(After the first coat of paint)

(Painting is finished!) 

What a month!

I've neglected my blog already! Darn life getting in the way of fun things! February was a hectic month where nothing went right.  My grandma died, we had our credit card stolen, I worked a crazy amount of overtime, and then we drove to California.  March will hopefully be a much better month. 

My current project is my fireplace.  I have spent all night scrubbing it to prep for painting.  After hours of scrubbing, and multiple bowls of water...I think it looks worse than when I started. Sigh!

We are working on getting our living room completed so that we can have a nicer place for when people come over to entertain them.  Today we bought two new recliners and now neither of us have the motivation to get up and do anything else.  They are so comfortable!

I will try and be better at keeping this updated!
