I'm Back!

Here's my update!
 #84! Eat at a new restaurant.  I get double credit, because it was a NEW new restaurant, not just new to me.  We have a restaurant across the street that has been a Pizza place, a Chinese place, a Mexican Buffet and "American" fare - (all in the past 20 years or so).  The American fare closed up a few months ago & "Nong's Thai" opened on Feb.1.  YUM.  I love it.  They made the place look awesome.  The food was great, the owner was super nice. AND they have an alternative to fortune cookies.  He called them Thai Fortune Rolls. YUM!! SO if you are ever on 169 & Medicine Lake Road - stop in at Nong's Thai Cuisine!

#83.5: I made pillow cases for V, T, & M for Christmas.  I also made a "Crayon-Roll-Up" & will be making a "Marker-Roll-Up" when I have a few minutes to shop for fabric.  I will keep thinking of fun things for them. (If you have NO idea what a crayon/ marker roll-up is... Email me & I'll send you a link to the directions. SO fun & easy).

#58:  I have been really enjoying my Bible Study.  I don't know if I mentioned it, but I am going through Beth Moore's "Esther" study.  I am loving it.  I'm learning a lot, too! It is actually almost over.  Sad.  But there will be another one soon!

#38: I caved.  I was pulled over to the dark side. I can't crawl out. I am reading the Twilight series. I SWORE I'd never EVER read those books or watch the movies.  But, Tim wanted to watch the movie, so I said - fine & we Net-Flixed Twilight.  Then we watched the 2nd movie on a date.  And I didn't hate them.  BUT I wanted to see how the books followed the movie & darn it... like every other book-to-movie... the books are a bazillion times better & I can't stop reading them. BUT - Does Twilight count as a grown-up book, if they were written for teenagers & housed in the "Teen" section at the library? And every "scene" I question the sanity of the writer & reader and remind myself the subject matter is for TEENAGERS.  (Thanks Amanda, you mentioned that on Facebook a while back.).

#34: I am sure we did in December, but I have no memory of being alone with Tim.  (well...)  BUT In January, we managed to break away and go see New Moon.  I got popcorn.  Our babysitter is cheap.  She works for a refill of our popcorn.

#33: I went out with my friend Jill again in January.  I went to my friend Sara Jo's house, but I had the kids, but I ignored them for most of the night, that mostly counts, right?

#30: I have been using the "Notebook" feature on my phone.  It is AWESOME to have a plan.  I just hate that people think I'm in the middle of the store texting...

#24: As much as it kills me, I've been doing well at this! Either picking up the girls' room, fixing up the kitchen (We had a remodel job going on), going through laundry, etc... I've been busy.

#14 probably won't happen.  Through this remodel job in my kitchen, the cabinets are smaller than the old ones in certain areas.  SO there are larger gaps between the flooring & the cabinets than before & I don't think "Quarter-Round" will do the job right now.  We probably could lump this into "Improvements for the move"...
