So much to do!!

I will be so glad when everything is changed over into my NEW name! Especially things at the S.S. Office, that way the hubby will leave me alone! He complains and complains...I explain things...it does no good...I explain some more...does no good...and he gets on my nerves and finally I get mad!!! GRRR! Aside from him just getting on my nerves, there is so much that has to be changed. Hopefully he'll have me another copy of our marriage certificate soon so that I can finish changing things. The other one got sent to Philadelphia with my application for a new passport. I don't think I can stand not working for another 6-8 weeks while my passport app. is being processed so that certificate had better get here fast.

Rehearsal Dinner

I was helping Linda out with stuff today at the schoolhouse, and when we finished what had to be done there we started talking wedding stuff. Today we decided on a place to have the rehearsal dinner. We're going to call this week and go ahead and book Ellerbe Springs here in Ellerbe. It is nice to know that one other things is out of the way! I think I have found the bridesmaid dresses that I want, I just have to check with everyone and see if they will work for them. They are going to be a light blue color! I think they're really pretty. Now I just have to get me a dress. After that I think everything else will fall into place!

Men!

What is it about having to clean that men just do not get! Not all of them mind you, but ones like my Brother have problems with these things. Now my computer is here in my brother's room (my old room) so that I can use the wireless internet. A week ago you couldn't see the floor. You had to say a prayer, get a good running start, and leap across the room to where my computer sits! Tonight I finished cleaning my brothers room just so I could share it (at least my computer shares it). I honestly just couldn't sit here amongst all of the clutter and play on the computer. I had a constant frown! The room is back in order, but I am sure it won't stay that way long unless I keep on top of things!!

I just don't understand why it is so difficult to put dirty clothes in the hamper. It was right there beside the mound of the clothes that were laying on the floor. With a little extra effort the lid could have been lifted and the clothes could have been dropped in! Old receipts were everywhere, mail everywhere, just everything everywhere! I also washed my (very capable) brothers clothes, and I kid you not, he has more than I do. To top it off he has more shoes than I do as well! For the past week I have felt like a maid, but I feel like I have accomplished something. Lol, come to think of it I should have taken before and after pics.

You see, I don't have this problem with the hubby. He likes cleaning. He likes living in a clean apt. I can't wait to get back to it! I think tomorrow I will teach my brother how to use a broom and dustpan. We're going to be taking babystep!!

I lost it!

I thought that I would be posting a recipe on here, but somehow I managed to lose the book that it was in. Of course that isn't really all that surprising if you know me! On a bright and happy note though, I received my monogram cards from Miss Chloe yesterday. So something is going my way!! Also got my new passport application sent off...hopefully that'll be back soon. Now if only I could find that book! That recipe (which is way yummy) will make its way to my page!!

New Recipe!!

I found a recipe in People Magazine (the special Christmas issue) and decided to try it this morning while I was waiting for my Grandma at the Drs. office. They actually turned out really well, but I made a HUGE mess in the kitchen. This recipe is one that Stacy Keibler, the wrestler and dancing with the stars woman, says she makes every year. So...I figured if she could make them then so could I! I'll post the recipe a little later on. They are so simple to make, I wish I could remember what they are called!

Passport Photos

Yikes! I got new passport pictures made yesterday, and at the same time I had the pictures made to go on my residency application and they are horrible! I look high in them! Not only that but 4 little pictures cost me $21!! The last time I had them made the people gave me an entire sheet of pictures and I only paid $7! I felt robbed, but at least the deed is finally done. My next stop is the passport office to fill out the application (which will probably be more expensive now as well!)! Grrr! That being said, at least I am making some headway. Now I just need to ride all over creation and start changing my name on everything...1st stop...Social Security office. I do not want to go! Lines there are worse than the DMV! Good luck me!!! I'm going to need it!

I'm Back!!

After a record 3 posts, and a short break I am back. You see we had a death in my family so I haven't been on the computer too much! Things are seemly back to normal now, and so I am back again to blog to my little hearts content. IT'S SNOWING, and I'm not even in Finland, so I am enjoying the winter weather. Yippee! Who knows I may even go out and play in it. My kitties don't know what to think of the snow though. This is the first time they have seen any. They were running and jumping and meowing like crazy this morning!! It was most definitely a humorous sight!

*sigh* Well, now that I have made my short entry I must go do productive things!
