Wow! I can’t believe it’s the end of the week already! What a week we’ve had, first off, we are homeowners once again! Woo Hoo!! We closed on the house on Tuesday. It’s so nice to be able to say it’s ours now! We’ve already met one of our neighbors, a couple expecting their first baby! So I’ll have a new baby to play with come Spring! I also met a resident at the house that I wasn’t so thrilled about! A snake! Big D and the kids called me out to the front of the house to see the amazing view of the sunset we have, but what they really wanted was to see my reaction of the 12 inch snake that was sitting by the front step! Well, they got the reaction they expected!! Seeing that I have a major snake phobia, you can imagine how fast my feet took me from that front step to back in the house! I made record time! I can handle the frogs that are hopping around, and we have some big frogs, but I see a snake, forget it!

We met with a painter to come in and paint my dining room and Miss Priss’s room this Saturday. He did some painting for my step-brother’s new house and did some really nice faux finishes that I loved. Our dining room has picture frame panels below the chair rail that he’s going to do a faux finish in the panels with a glaze. It’s going to look fabulous! I’ll take pictures when it’s done! Miss Priss’s room has alot of white crown molding, her room is going to be a silver sword color, to coordinate with her black and red theme room. It will look wonderful also! I’m so excited to see how it will look because her room right now, is bright yellow with painted baby jungle animals on the walls….not so good for a 19 year old!

Deliveries of our purchases will start being made on Monday!! It’s so exciting! Tuesday is the big day, the movers will arrive with our belongings! I can’t wait to see our stuff in the house. I’m very excited, but also not looking forward to unpacking all those dang boxes! I’m really looking forward to decorating though, every time we are at the house I am thinking about what I can do and how I can do it! I told D today my mind seems to be going 100 mph right now and if I don’t get an outlet soon I’m going to have a blowout! So this weekend I’m going to “do” the kitchen cabinets, line the drawers and cabinets, etc. I have found that The Container Store has some wonderful things to help you get organized!

So that’s alittle bit of what’s going on in my little garden! As you see the next week is going to be “CRAZY!” Keep me in your thoughts, I can use it right now…sleep is not easy, miss my bed something fierce and the bed here…horrible!

Miss y’all!!

It’s almost here!!! We close on our new house Tuesday!!! We will do our walk through in the morning, then the closing is in the afternoon. I’m so excited to see the house again. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve been in it. We drove by the other day so Miss Priss could see the pool, (the owners have moved out already and moved out of state). We can’t wait to make use of that pool and spa! This week will be a busy week! We have scheduled things to be done for the house before we have our belongings delivered on the 18th. So, I will be a busy bee this week! Thankfully I have Bubba and Miss Priss with me to help!

I’m doing some retail therapy also this week, since we have bought the big stuff for the house, I’m now looking for the “fun” stuff, the decorator things I want! As you know, I do love to shop!!

Y’all will have to forgive me if I don’t visit much in the next week or two, as you know if you have ever moved, it’s crazy busy! I will try to pop in and out when I can and know if I don’t comment back I appreciate you stopping in and leaving a word here! Matter of fact, I love it! I’ll be back to normal (or as normal as I get ) soon!!
