INs and OUTs

Well it sure has been awhile, that's what happens when your Husband quits/loses a job, you get sick and pretty much stay sick for a year, you have a new home to take care of, work..and all that fun stuff in between..so jeez where do I start...lets start with the outs, since those are probably the most fun!

OUT -

1. Antibiotics..I hate them..don't take them unless you are dying..they are bad and will destroy you, and by destroy I mean deeeessstttrrrooyyyyyyyy - funny thing is, I am on week 4 of antibiotics to help reverse the damage of previous ones..

2. People..ahh my favorite thing to hate..people are just...pieces of shit shall I say?  They will always let you down..my cat on the other hand, does not.

3. SUMMER - one of the worst summers ever..thank god it's GONE finally..bring on fall..skip winter though please!

4. Allergies..thanks to allergies we have a now (had to get refills on meds!) $200+ vet bill..and I have had a stuffed up nose and sneeze attacks since Aug...the wild things going on in this household I tell ya.

5.  Work..a given..

IN -

1. Pinterest and Etsy..I need an intervention!  I love everything, I want to buy everything, I want to do decorate everything, I just WANTTTTT!

2. Bath and body works home oils and candles..I LOVE all their fall scents!

3. Music..as always..soul therapy..listening to it right now.

4. Shopping sprees which my Husband and I have been on a kick lately..it's a lot more fun than cleaning.  After a year of living here we are getting our living room sofa delivered today!

5. Oct 14th marks ONE YEAR of living in our new home...I love it..all that stress and hard work was worth it.  I love having a home to call my very own, even if it does mean paying to fix that broken garage door, replacing a cracked in sink erator..and all that other fun stuff that comes with being a home owner.  It's mine..all mine!

6.I'm still breathing...

was looking through pictures and came across this one and laughed my ass off...this is what we did to keep from kill ourselves when we lived in Galesburg, the worst town in the world...haaaaaa gah look at that horrible decor, and the one drape? Ick!
