Ready, set, ENTERTAIN!!

Posted Friday, June 29, 2007 4:29 PM

Ok, I am ready for the house guests... BRING IT... Of course considering that last time BIL and his girl were in town it rained for like 4 days straight, was so humid they probably thought they never left Houston, and our a/c hoses got clogged from the

Here come the ILs..

Posted Tuesday, June 26, 2007 10:48 AM

So Friday my BIL and soon to be SIL will be decending upon our casa for a visit that is (thankfully) only going to end up being about a week (Last year I think they were at our place for like 15 days or something! ahhhh) Nice enough kids, don't get me

On to the next project...

Posted Thursday, June 21, 2007 5:32 PM

Um yeah... I know that I said I'd be content when my living room was all pulled together and all... but now I am looking at the nook that DH has designated as his office and it is bugging me... not the furniture or his stuff - where it is... I wanted

Amusing but misguided.. (rant)

Posted Tuesday, June 19, 2007 9:19 AM

Sometimes we all need a little rant, right? So I was noticing while reading through some message board responses this morning, that even here in Nestie-land, some people don't understand the difference between opinion and fact... If someone states an

Hostess with the mostess

Posted Monday, June 18, 2007 10:59 AM

Had a great time at our little party this weekend, I just love to play hostess... (you can take the chef out of the hospitality business, but you can never take the hospitality business out of the chef!) Tons of great food, wine and friends, a perfect

Update on Potter's funky paw

Posted Thursday, June 14, 2007 2:07 PM

So DH took him back to the vet for his follow up today, and the vet squeezed his little paw "finger" and a bunch of puss exploded out of it, followed by a HUGE grass seed!! It wasn't a bee sting, he got a seed wedged in his paw and probably worked it

I'm in the 5th stage...

Posted Thursday, June 14, 2007 11:06 AM

5 stages of grieving, right? I have reached "acceptance" about my age.. 31 is not ancient, and really it is not my age that has been bumming me out, it is a bout of low self esteem due to not doing the things I know I want to with diet and exercise...

31 yrs old tomm....

Posted Tuesday, June 12, 2007 10:52 PM

... How can that be? 31!? How can twin sis and I be that age? Seriously, I am pretty sure that I yesterday I was 16 and I blinked... and now I am knocking on the door of 31, with a DH watching B-ball in the home we own, and I'm keeping one eye on my doggie

Oh no.. Binky got it again!!

Posted Tuesday, June 12, 2007 11:25 AM

We don't know if it was a bee or a spider, or just a really thorny bush, but his paw got all swollen and red and he chewed the fur off of it... (This of course resulted in the wearing of the "cone of shame" for bed time... poor guy)

Hidden hardware...

Posted Sunday, June 10, 2007 4:26 PM

So DH is bugged by the top of the drapes, with the rod and rings showing... it is time for a sleek, straight, flat valance to cover it, and then I think we will be in agreement about the new drapes... Seems reasonable, I guess... T-minus 3 1/2 days to

..and he hates them..

Posted Thursday, June 07, 2007 10:00 PM

DH doesn't like the curtains I slaved over.... He asked several times this evening what else we needed to do to finish them, and then later he remarked that they looked like shower curtains... sucks....

Continuing about curtains

Posted Thursday, June 07, 2007 11:37 AM

So I didn't get to ask DH what he thought of my DIY curtains when he got home yesterday because his flight was super-delayed last night.... I was fast asleep when he got home... Poor guy is working his pants off... traveling way more than I think he wants

Ouch. that stung..

Posted Thursday, June 07, 2007 11:06 AM

Um, yikes.. I had a post directed at me today that seemed semi-condecending and I guess now I know first hand how cr^ppy it feels... well, there you go Ker.. Just makes me that much more aware that it is better to always be nice than always have to be

Buh- Bye blinds..

Posted Wednesday, June 06, 2007 11:04 AM

Got the blinds down and the curtains up yesterday... Looks much better.... something about it all still seems to look "unfinished" to me tho... :( I am hopeful that when DH returns from his trip today he will tell me they look great... I didn't get great

Yay for a "work day" for my casa

Posted Monday, June 04, 2007 6:00 PM

Tomorrow is "hang the drapes" day for me and I am so excited to see how they will look.. Tonight I get the semi cruddy task of taking down the vertical blinds... Actually, I hate them so much, it will feel great to rip them off the wall with my own two

My love don't cost a thing...

Posted Sunday, June 03, 2007 2:41 PM

So after further investigation, it seems that the afore-mentioned world's-nicest-nestie was attacked by one lame-o, who couldn't hide her nest envy... I don't care what you are spending on your house, or what tax bracket you are in, isn't the nest about

Mean Girls?

Posted Friday, June 01, 2007 12:42 PM

So I was reading over past posts on a board that shall remain nameless, looking for clues as to why a particular Nestie has been M.I.A. lately and I was pretty shocked to see how mean they were to each other... I guess if you have been around a long time,
