Nothing exciting happening in my world.....

Em and I cleaned her room alittle Saturday getting ready for the day bed. Right now she's sleeping on a mattress in her floor. She's pretty excited about the bed and painting her room. I think we've decided on a turquoise/aqua color with this duvet:

It's from dELiAs.com. Pretty cool girly stuff.

I'm excited because it has a lot of colors to work with ....... alittle black, white, yellow, orange, pink.... I think it's going to be a great room!!!! What I'd really love to do is replace the flooring in her room after we paint and before it's considered finished, not sure if that will happen or not! Not enough money in the old budget to do it all at once.


My bow is in and I've bought a release. I've been practicing pulling it back, which has resulted in a sore arm and hand. It'll get better though!

More later .............

New bedroom & haircut

Em has wanted a daybed for a couple of months now. Just to give her more floor space in her room. See, we have a small house. Back when it was built, probably average, but now it's just small. The bedrooms are the worse. Em spends a lot of time in her room goofing off and watching TV. So, I've been kinda looking for a black-iron daybed. I told my friend Sharon B what I was looking for because she works weekends at an antique store. Well, Thursday I told her and she called me that night telling me they had just gotten one in. WHAT luck!. So, Em and I went out there to see it. PERFECT! It even comes with a trundle. And on top of that, Sharon has a white desk that will work in her room too!!!! So, we came home Saturday, cleaned up the room some, took the old bed down and for now she's just sleeping on a mattress on her floor. She already likes it cause she says she had more room.

AND while we were in Mt Juliet, we had a wild hair to get Em a hair cut. She wanted it cut mid-neck. SO, off came about 5 inches of her hair. She likes it, but not as much as I think she thought she would. I think it looks cute. And it was so easy and quick to style. The only problem is pulling it up for cheerleading. Oh well, as long as she likes it.

Oh yea, she has a boyfriend too. And she is very excited. This little boy (Jeb) really seems to like her and he is very nice to her. Which I try to stress that it better to have someone that is nice to you and treats you good than someone who is great looking. Anyways, the fun is only beginning .....

What to get a kid who has everything?

So, I'm not sure what Santa will bring Emilee this year..... of course Em wants everything expensive. A Wii, an iPod touch, Vera Bradley stuff, American Girl stuff... the list goes on and on. But as I've told her year after year, mom and dad have to pay Santa for the toys, so be thoughtful with the list.

She's asked several times about Santa being real. My answer, which I believe, is that as long as you believe you will receive! So, that's my answer and I'm sticking to it.

Back to the question at hand. WHAT DO I TELL SANTA TO GET HER? And what do I get her? DH says no to the Wii, cause he thinks she won't use play with it after a couple of months. I think she'll play with it more in the winter than summer. When it's warm enough, she wants to be outside... which reminds me of getting her a new Razor scooter. She really needs a new one. That will be good. Mom & Dad might get that one! Score one for me!!!

What else? Leave suggestions. She's 11 years old.

A couple of things.............

My bow is bought!!! Yea! I can't wait to get it, get it set up and start shooting it. I really want to learn how to do this. I want to make my husband proud of me. You know hunting is really his thing, but I like that it's something that we can do together. I mean can you see him scrapbooking?!?!? I don't think so, but I can picture myself hunting!

Speaking of scrapbooking, I'm going to a crop tomorrow night. FUN! Just a chance to work on Emilee's albums for a little while and probably do a lot of talking! :-)

I'm almost finished with the 4th Twilight book.. Breaking Dawn. It's really good. I should finish it up today while my boss is in ALL DAY meetings!

Thats all I have for now!

Blog ya later!
