Our new lake property...she aint much, yet.

We officially have lake property at Grand Lake. It is on the old side of the lake but she is ours. It needs lots of work but a new project is in the works! I am excited to fix her up...I must give her a name. I have no idea what to call her. Here she is...just think of the potential.

In Spite Of Ourselves - John Prine, Iris DeMent

This song makes me smile.:) I love my hubs.

I want this so badly...

Awesome!

Yesterday...

Was an overall crappy day. I have lots of work to do in my home and on myself. I figured this out at the doctor. Went well let me tell you. (Sarcasm, if you cant tell.) Good thing I am turning 30. I also received a letter in the mail about my taxes for my house in 2011. That made me happy as well. Hopefully things will turn around, when it rains it pours.

My living room is almost painted I will post pics later. It looks so warm and cozy. I am about to sell my couch and get smaller ones. My L shaped couch is just to large for my living room, and not to mention it is almost the same color as my walls. Hopefully this year will turn around. Soon.

Ramblings...about furniture and myself.

I went to my new church today. I love this church alot. They focus on people and how you should treat yourself and fellow man with respect. I work on this everyday, especially towards myself. My favorite verse I read today, this is paraphrased, mind your business, work hard, love your family and the rest will follow. Since, I have learned hard lessons about minding your business, I do that now. I say what I mean to the person and I say it once. Of course, there are different circumstances for this. But all in all, I get the jist of it. New church and a new me. I am trying, maybe because 30 is in the near future.

On another note, I start the Special K diet tomorrow for 14 days. And Billy Blanks and I will be friends in the morning. I love his workouts. They kick my butt. Day 1 i am sure will be horrible. But I am excited to lose the 25 lbs that I want to lose. I am going to document my weekly weigh ins. This way I can be accountable.

Lastly, I wanted to show off my new furniture, Ok it is not new but refurbed. carl and I did lots of sanding and oiling these beauties back to their original glory. We saved them from years of neglect from carl's grandads garage. They are georgeous now. Although, carl did try to catch the house on fire (from the lindseed oil that generates its own heat) they were worth it. Here they are! Ignore the mess in front of the tv, I am painting the living room.


The one in the dining room is pictured above the tv below sorry it sideways. I should have taken pictures of the before. I forgot.

My accomplishments for 2011.

1. Go to church more often. I think we found a new church. Cowboy church. It seems wonderful. I am going next Sunday.

2. Be more organized. (Completely.) I have already started.

3. Give more. In everything I do.

4. Exercise more. Eat less. Run more. Start boot camp.

5.Recycle. Should go with organization. We will see.

6. Update my progresses to see change.

Happy New year!
