Food Friday-#8

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of dining at my SIL's house. Pam is an awesome cook and I love being invited over to taste her latest culinary creations. This particular day, I was not disappointed.  She made a delicious, light dessert that we all oohed and ahhed over.  So...I asked her for permission to share the recipe for that tasty delight and she graciously agreed!  Try this recipe, it's easy and oh so yummy!!

The Floors Are In...Now What???

 Hallelujah, the floors are finished and the porch railing is up (not stained yet but that will happen soon enough once the contractor gets back here)!!! I am so excited to have this completed and get my house back to myself!! LOL! Nothing like having people everywhere to put a damper on what can get done during the day. Don't get me wrong..I knew they'd have to be here but there isn't lots one can do while 1/2 of your house is being torn up and redone!!! Limits movement too!

Now comes the hard part (for me anyway), painting the rooms.  Yep, that's the next step in this refurbishing process I've decided to take on.  So I'm off to Lowe's to get all the paint and items I'll need to start my painting adventure!!  Notice I said me...yep, this is a one woman show at this point since Harley Man works all day and I'm the "lady of leisure" or "work at home woman" as I call myself!! Ha Ha

So for now....I'll leave you with some photos of the new floors and the porch railings!  Oh yeah, I have to get a floor duster to clean up those beautiful new floors...don't own one of those just yet!!  So please forgive the dusty prints on the new floors....gotta get those clean and shiny today too!

While everyone else is talking about their Christmas decorating....I'm talking about refurbishing!!!  What is wrong with me???  LOL!!  Oh well, Christmas decorating will have to wait.  Wish me luck!!

Seriously Thursday?! Take Twelve!!

Seriously???!I've been invaded by men this week and it has not been very quiet around my house.  Saws buzzing, hammers pounding, boards clanking, nail guns clapping...between the new hardwood floors and the new railing going up on the front porch...it's been a tad noisy and it's only 8:30 AM!!!

Seriously???!Do you make lists?  Well in my family, I'm known as post-it note queen because wherever you look there's a post-it list hanging in...the car, bathroom mirror, fridge, computer...geez they are everywhere!!!  As if that isn't bad enough, I'm now making a list of all the projects I want completed around my house in the next few weeks and in 2012!!!!!  Hey, a girl's gotta do whatever she can to keep that crown!!!!

Seriously???!I am not a Black Friday shopper....never have been and hopefully never will be!!!  I am not into crowds, shoving and pushing, hanging out in the cold or crazy shoppers!!!  Nope, I'll just be content to shop online......it's much safer these days!!!

What made you go Seriously???! this week?
