Memoir Monday

Time for a Memoir Monday post to recap our fun filled weekend! Link up with Mrs. Ruby on Mondays if you want to join in.

We actually went out both Friday and Saturday this weekend. Crazy, huh? Yeah, you're telling me. I was shocked that my typical old lady conscious allowed me to. I have reached a point in my life that I can honestly say (and I'm ok with it), I'm getting old. I just can't handle what I used to. Now, that doesn't mean I won't partake in any fun or kick back a few too many or anything, it's just different these days.

I saw a feature on Lady Gaga on TV the other day and was shocked when they said she was born in 1986. I couldn't believe I was older. I know it's only by a couple years, but I was certain she was older. Sigh.

Anyways, are there any other women out there who can't wait for Fantasy Football to be over? I swear. I have never seen something consume my husband's time, thoughts and everyday conversation more than this. And yes, I have complained about this before.

Don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic that he already locked up $470 for winning the regular season in one of his leagues. But really, I'm pretty over it.

Oh, we got our couch delivered today!! It's absolutely amazing and we can't wait to really enjoy it after the holidays. We still need to finalize the decor and get a cable box for that room, but I promise to upload pics once it's complete.

Speaking of holidays, this is what we have been munching on for the past two days. Thanks to our fellow Shawnee friends! Don't worry, it was just delivered yesterday and it's almost gone. Not kidding. Yep, goin' straight to my ass. That's what New Years resolutions are for, right?

OK, enough rambling. Here's some photos from our weekend.

 Mark, you could have smiled, C'mon!

I Just Love Mondays

NOT.

I really hate Mondays if you want me to be completely honest, but at least I get to offer you a Memoir Monday (hosted by Mrs. Ruby), recapping our much-needed 'kick-start to our basement project' weekend.

Oh joy, we started painting. Another thing I love so very much. We started with the trim, going from oak wood to clean creamy white, and will hopefully paint the walls this weekend. The room has a ledge that goes around the entire middle of the wall, so it will take a few days to get several coats of prime and paint applied.

However, I keep telling my overly-anal husband, that if we would just go to town on priming/painting and not get too caught up in sanding, removing floor trim from the wall, sanding again, etc. etc, these projects would go much faster. But he doesn't listen.

He wins most battles when it comes to painting.

And as I stated in my last post, we had some time to do a little family photo shoot for our Christmas Card. The photographer you ask? Only our good friends, Tripod and Timer. Tripod is very trust worthy and always stands very still.

Not sure which one(s) we will use, but I think we have some pretty good choices considering our quick, self-photo shoot, sans photographer, at a park near our house.

Brian hates this one because of his culdesacs, but I just love it:)

Isn't Jake such a cutie? He was such a good boy while we were snapping photos on the bridge. He stayed close by and wasn't even leashed!

So, I was so excited seeing the photos on camera screen that I applied them to my Shutterfly drafted cards last night. I am very pleased with how they turned out, but am even more confused on which card to go with now! The colors in a photo can make the card look completely different.

Sunday, we had the pleasure of visiting the Greens and baby Grace. More to come on that adventure, along with the crock-pot taco soup recipe I took over there. Delish.

Here's to a happy Monday!

Memoir Monday

Memoir Monday is brought to you by a college friend of mine, Mrs. Ruby.

We were on Union Program Council (UPC) together and became buddies while planning fun events for the K-State Union. Check out her amazing blog here, it's one of my daily reads!

I already posted about Halloween, so here's about the rest of our busy-filled weekend.

We surprisingly had a stress-free trip to Nebraska Furniture Mart on Saturday. Most of our trips there end in arguments, with both of us not agreeing on anything. However, this trip concluded with more decisions than I thought I could make in 2 hours. More to come later about that. :)

After not getting to bed until 4:30 am (thanks to some difficult temporary tattoos), we were up early the next morning to see the Chiefs take on the Bills.

It was quite a scare for a Halloween game, but luckily, we pulled off a win! Chiefs are 5-2. Hooray!

Fun fact I pulled off a friend's facebook: The Chiefs have won 5 games in the past 49 days. And the 800 days before that? 5 games. Yikes.

 I found Waldo! And Michael.

 We ran into my cousin and uncle who were only one section over.
