Thanks to Janet and her wonderful Friday Fill-ins I always have something to post on Friday.

Friday Fill-Ins #61
1. I'm looking forward to getting some scrapping done in my newly organized space next week. 2. I don't handle confrontation very well.
3. Pizza is something I could eat every day.
4. Warmth and sunlight put a smile on my face.
5. UStamp here I come attending a stamping class 3/15 and so looking forward to it!
6. I have 1 tattoo(s) and often think about getting another, just not sure what it would be or where it would go.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to hanging out with D after work, tomorrow my plans include working from open to close (don't ask)and Sunday, I want to sleep in before going to work!

Testifying for the defendant…. IKEA

I wonder how many marriages ended at Ikea? It is a place where you see all these happy couples walking around, picking out things to help make their house a home, D and I were one of those couples tonight. I saw these

here and thought "hell I could do that" so off to Ikea I went and D met me there after work. Being in Ikea was fine, we got what we wanted, loaded it in the car and got it home without event. Of course since we got it at Ikea the 82x24 inch cabinet came in a box that was roughly 18x3, I will never understand how that happens.

Putting the furniture together became a whole new adventure..... Me being me, I told D not to worry about it, all he had to do was help me carry it up stairs and I would do the rest. Then I start dropping the "f" bomb because things are not going well for me the furniture assembly chic and instead of asking for help I just drop tons of "f" bombs hoping he will get the hint and help me..... it doesn't always work that way and when that happens, my evil twin sister comes out, starts yelling at him and asking him him "wtf his problem is, why can't he just help me." After a few minor mess ups we got the damn thing together and by the end of the weekend I swear I will have my stuff together and organized. Thankfully my dear husband has the patience of a saint and put up with me and the crazy Ikea directions, yet another happy ending brought to you by Ikea.

The only good thing about today is that I am off tomorrow!!

You thought I forgot didn't you..........

Hot off the presses, my Friday Fill ins. This week they didn't come to me as easily as they have in the past, really made me think. Can't wait to see what you came up with.

Friday Fill-Ins #60
1. Being away from work and spending time with loved ones is the best thing about traveling.
2. I love a good blanket to snuggle with when I'm cold.
3. I often use my computer- I am addicted.
4. I'm reading nothing right now; I am frustrated by it (I love to read just haven’t gotten into it lately). Anyone have any recommendations?
5. _____ is something I dislike talking about. (leaving this blank because I love to talk and would talk about almost anything.)

Weather Bug


Being obsessed with the weather is something that runs in my genes, I swear my parents are some how related to Sam Champion the weather guy from channel 7. With the weatherbug flashing like crazy on the bottom of my screen I just have this to say..........


Intense I-Color

I am so not a girly girl, so I think it is really funny that I found a makeup product that I love so much I want to tell everyone about it.

I am by no means vain; however, I do think my eyes are my best feature. They are blue; however, they tend to change depending on what I am wearing- sometimes they appear to be more green, others grey. In addition to being like the horse of many colors from the Wizard of Oz, I am one of the lucky ones who was blessed with great eye lashes, they are long and full. As a result, I very rarely wear mascara especially if I am wearing my glasses because my lashes would rub against my glasses and make a damn mess. Since I work in the "beauty care" industry I think it is a good idea to wear a little make up when at work. Nothing major, some foundation/powder, eye liner, lip gloss and when I am feeling risky I add some mascara.... hence the new love for Almay Almay Intense I-color it is a mascara designed to intensify the color of your eyes, it is available in either lengthening or thickening formulas. Let me tell you, I love it!! When I wear it the white of my eyes look whiter and the blue is really blue. Ever since I started wearing it, I get at least 1 compliment a day on the color of my eyes, most of the compliments have come from total strangers. I can't wait to try the green eye one just to see how my eyes appear, for the $6 price tag at Target, we can all afford to try more than 1 color.
