A Little Person is Coming!



...and they need a bed! Hubby and I just ordered a white 4 in 1 crib for our baby girl off of Amazon! Along with a pink breathable bumper (don't ask what a breathable bumper is verses a regular one, just imagine a lot of research online), a turtle crib sheet (turtles are mom's favorite cuz they reminder her of Hawaii), a birdie crib sheet (dad's favorite, cuz he is into birds lately) and a white and pink crib skirt, we are going to have one good looking crib soon!!!! The only thing we are missing is a mattress! We tried to order one from Amazon but they wanted to charge us $55 for shipping which is crazy!! The mattress only cost $80 bucks so we hit the delete button and will be heading to Babies R US or Target to get one of those.

This week, hubby and I also decided on our colors for the nursery. We are going with "Hawaiian Shell" and "Smoked Oyster." Imagine a soft pink and a soft brown/grey. Not sure if brown/grey is a good description but it sorta looks brown and it sorta looks grey. Anyhow, when I saw the words "Hawaiian Shell" I just knew it had to be for us as we LOVE Hawaii and can't wait to take baby girl to our favorite place in the world!!

But before we can paint, we need to have a garage sale to get rid of a ton of stuff, which I hope to have at the end of August. Once that is done, we can move the rest of the furniture from the office to our Bonus Room which is currently too full to hold one more thing. Then we can paint! So if anyone likes to paint we will be needing some services soon cuz hubby hates to paint and I am supposed to be staying away from the fumes. Oh Krueger!!! I think I remember you saying you liked to paint!!

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
