What I’m Loving

By sunshineandholly on February 23, 2011

I’m too busy for a real post – but here’s what I’m loving right now:

1. Kitchen is coming along. Heating and Air guy coming out tomorrow to vent our dryer!
2. Going out dancing this weekend for a girlfriend’s birthday – soooooo excited!
3. Had my performance review yesterday at work. It went alright (I’m a perfectionist so it wasn’t good enough for my standards…) but I might be getting a work laptop – yes!!!
4. Walmart had veggies trays for $4.88 this weekend with carrots, celery, snap peas, broccoli, and MINI PEPPERS! Those things are SO cute! And it came with yummy buttermilk ranch dip. We bought 2. :)Mmmmm!

5. We took those veggies and some PB&Js out to Piedmont Park this past weekend and had a picnic and took the doggies to the dog park – so much fun!

Ready for the weekend!

Monday…you suck.

By sunshineandholly on February 14, 2011

I had a crazy-busy weekend and now I’m exhausted. Not really feeling work today. I wish I could take a little nap at my desk. The only good thing in this miserable Monday is that I have a doctors appointment at 2. Which means I should prob leave around 1:30. And it also means I prob won’t come back to the office once it’s over. So yay for a half day!!

Oh yeah – and Happy Valentines Day! Too bad my hubby is working super late tonight and I won’t get to spend any time with him. Boo.

Man, I’m whiny today. I need to go re-read my “be positive post.” I promise I’ll be better the rest of the week! 🙂

I love you like pickles and chocolate milk

By sunshineandholly on February 4, 2011

No I’m not pregnant.

But I do like pickles with a glass of chocolate milk. Something about the combo of sweet and sour – yum! I think my mom ate pickles and chocolate ice cream when she was pregnant with me…maybe that explains it.

Anyways, last night I went to Taco Mac for dinner with the hubs and some friends. (French fries and homemade ranch…yum….) I was saving my pickle until the end of the meal and when I was finally ready to eat it, I went to pick it up……………and I dropped the WHOLE pickle on the floor!!! I didn’t even get one bite! 🙁

I. Was. Devastated.

“MY PICKLE!!!” 🙁 *sniff*

Well, life went on and we started talking about other stuff and having a good time.

But then the waiter came over. And my SWEET hubby asked him to bring me another pickle! I mean, he just asked him! Without me even saying anything or telling him I wanted another pickle – nothing!!!

It was so sweet! I almost cried!!

And the waiter was so nice that he brought us all another pickle.

I love pickles…but I love my hubby more!

Athens!

By sunshineandholly on February 3, 2011

Last Friday, we drove up to Athens to visit with some friends. I LOVE going back to Athens…even if I do feel a little old compared to all the college kids. 🙂

We ate at a yummy sushi place called Shokitini and then did some bar hopping. I made the mistake of ordering a drink other than my usual rum and diet. We basically told the bartender to make us something and since there was blueberry vodka on the shelf, we said make us something with that. Not the smartest idea… He made a “blueberry muffin” which wasn’t terrible…but not very tasty. And it was super strong!

But we had a great time!

Yummy!

Silly Aubree! 🙂

Those are fried oreos – yum!

Blueberry muffins – not recommended.

Kitchen Renovation Weekend #8

By sunshineandholly on January 28, 2011

Geez! When are we going to finish this kitchen?!?! It feels like it’s taking forever!

The weekend before last (Jan15th) we we finished up most of the flooring. Just one row left! Too bad it’s the hardest row since you have to cut every piece of laminate lengthwise…which is why we still haven’t finished. Boo.

Last weekend we hit up Ikea and bought the EXPEDIT bookcase in white. We decided to use this for shelving in our pantry instead of building shelving or buying cheap looking wire shelving. And I have to tell you, it looks AWESOME! I painted the wall behind the bookcase a butter cream color (so pretty!) and then loaded it up with food, paper towels, dishes, bake wear, and all the other crap I haven’t been able to unpack since we’ve moved because I have a ridiculous amount of that kind of stuff and not enough storage! 🙂

Anyway, here’s some pics!
