EVERYBODY is here today except Carlos!!!  It is basically a full house, 3 dogs and 6 humans – WOW!!

I got so much done with my room today!  I am very happy.  I will take some pictures a little later to add to here.  I am going to do a couple more things and then I am done for the day!

I have my dresser cleaned out completely and also the nightstand.  So that is great progress.   I also did some stuff to the website, I did a family calendar so that we could put things on it, well mostly me

I still have some stuff to order, gonna get 2 more rugs to go around the bed and under the dresser and bench.

The dogs were a little crazy today, I know how is that different, well I guess it isn’t really  Paul brought Peterbrook chocolate and that was awesome!!  Alright, back at it!!

Had to go downtown today for a couple meetings, but it was all very productive.  I even got a great parking spot

On my way home I had to stop to find something for my mother for Valentine’s Day.  My dad gave me $100 to spend on her and I did it with pennies change!!!  I got her a bunch of Lego figures and a Panera gift card, oh and a card of course.

I got my last big package that I had ordered for my room, a storage bench.  I can’t put it where it goes yet, but like I have been saying all week I hope to have that pretty well sorted this weekend.

I also must get to reading these books on training the dogs.  The longer I wait the harder it is going to be – I know this!!

I got my mom’s stuff at Target and it has been a while since I really just walked through there.  They have a lot of good stuff.  It is a little expensive, but they have always had some cool accessories for the home.  I was very impressed.

Dinner was chicken wings from Publix – can’t have much better of a day than that   Goodnight

Well, not really a day, I just had to run to the post office to mail something I forgot to put in the box   I did take a picture though, oh how it has changed.

Nothing too crazy to report today.  We did get our new curtains today, but haven’t put them up.  Oh yeah, mom dropped an entire container of sequin type things – all over her room and Nickel did try to help by picking 1 up   He ran like the wind, but we did get it back.

Also, related to the dogs, I tried to brush them a little because they do shed a lot and Nickel was having none of it.  He needed that brush though, that was a great prize   He also gave that back after a little playing

Certainly didn’t get as much done today as I should have.  I did make dinner, made dinner all week really so that was good

I went downtown again today for a meeting but did leave early because I had a doctors appointment.  I told him that I was obsessing with my bad habits and he changed some of my medicine and also gave me something different that should help me sleep a little bit   Makes me very happy!!!

I got some goodies in the mail today!!  I got the monitor stand that I am going to make into a nightstand that is mounted to the wall and I think it is going to be great

I also got me some new little trash cans and also a new desk mat.  I think that this is going to work out well on the new desk and I don’t think I will get a glass top like I thought I was going to do

I came home today and noticed that it looked like the dogs had been laying on my pillows instead of their blanket, then I saw this:

I went downtown today for some meetings and found out that the parking garage that I use is no longer taking daily parkers.  WHAT?!  I did manage to get a spot in the lot though that ended up being a great spot.  It is on the side of the building and the wind was so strong it was pushing my legs out from under me.

I got some books today on how to train the blue heelers – I am excited to see what this has to offer on helping us get them under a little bit of control   They aren’t horrible, potty training is proving a little difficult and also trying to get them not to continuously bark in the house.

I also made my next trip arrangements, just to Atlanta for the day but it is at the end of March.  I am sure that I am going to be going out before that, but it is confirmed.

I almost forgot to explain the title   We had beanie weenies for dinner and it was AMAZING

I also got my little elephant ring holder – I like it so much

Finally made it to the grocery store today.  Should have gone several days ago, but better late than never I suppose   I think I got enough to make dinner all this week.  Tonight is Yummy Spanish Rice with Kielbasa and Shrimp   I will link it to a recipe as soon as I write one and after I make it I will remember to take a picture!!

Going to get the rest of the clothes out of the other dresser so that it can be moved maybe next weekend.  I also think that I am going to get rid of the dog crate.  I don’t think Nickel has been in it in a while and maybe I will put the bed that is in it under my desk in case they need a somewhat hiding place.  It should be pretty easy since the whole goal of all this redecorating is to get everything off the floor that I possibly can.  Or to have no open space under it at least.  I just got an idea to put a curtain around the bigger batch of crates to keep the dust down.  I will have to see what it looks like on the shelf.  Maybe I can have it almost like a window and just down when I feel like covering up the stuff.

Dinner was great, I did add a picture to the recipe on the website.

Mom was just talking to the dog explaining that they were her tissues and not theirs…  It is pretty entertaining how we interact with these puppies!!!

Alright, I am going to get ready for bed and try to get tired enough to fall asleep before like 01:00!!

I never and I mean never lose socks in the laundry.  Well, today I did, but really I thought I might have left it at the last hotel I was in.  I thought I counted them but started to doubt myself.  Then when I finished my second load of clothes – SOCK!!!!  You have no idea how happy I was just finding that one sock.  Amazing

The dogs were so bad today.  I don’t know what gets into them, they were in and out all morning – like when it was still dark out.  Then they proceeded to bark in the house all the time.  They were just being out of control.  I didn’t get much sleep because of it so I am hoping to get to bed at a decent hour this evening to make up for it.

I tried to get video of Nickel playing with his ball.  He shakes it so violently it is so funny!!

I started moving my clothes over to the new dresser.  It is harder for me than I thought because I am so used to things being in specific drawers but this dresser has the drawers stacked and the other one is side by side.  It also doesn’t help that this one is a bit smaller than the other one, but I thought I would put things like my sweaters in the crates I got.  Hope that it looks OK

Today I did manage to get some of the things on my list done.  I got the box spring out from my bed.  It is definitely low enough now, I am slightly worried it is too low.  Will find out tonight I suppose

I have got to run to the office, going to see if one of the boys wants to come with me now.

Will add tons of pictures from today

Just got back from the office where I had 2 things to do, get my new watchband and change my password.  Well, the internet was down so no password changing for me

When we got back, Carlos went with me, we walked over to make sure that my storage shed had room in it for my old bed and dresser.  There is room which is great.

I will work very hard this week to get my stuff cleared off so that I can move that stuff to the shed.  The weather is just so bad right now I really don’t want to do it.

Oh, forgot that when we went to the office there was a new tennis ball in the parking lot – so that means Nickel has a new tennis ball   It has caused quite the uproar in the Spicer house, everyone wants the new ball

Yesterday was so crappy weather wise, it was raining all day and turned very very cold!!

So far I have done a very little bit of work, but did manage to get my invoice done and taxes as well!

There are a couple things I want to get done today:

1. Finish cutting my placemats to fit in my crates.
2. Go get my watch band from the office – where I accidently sent it
3. Go to the grocery store to get stuff to make breakfast tomorrow for the boys.  Oh and toothpaste
4. Move the box spring off my bed.
5. Clean up stuff to be able to move things out of my room and get a little bit more organized – it’s been long enough!!

I think that’s it for now.  Will try very hard to add more later

Well, didn’t really get as much accomplished as I had hoped, but my last new carpet came and I did struggle getting that put in place for about an hour and my new little pillows came as well   Tomorrow I will have to finish all the other tasks

We had Panda Express for dinner, but I hate to say that I am about to go back to eating a lot better – I have had a fun couple months not caring, but now it is starting to get to be too much!    OK, I am gonna get to bed early cause of reasons
