entry way bench

well after much delay (due to convincing the hubs to paint so i cant, finding fabric and finding the energy to actually complete the project) the entry way bench is done.

simple project. have hubs build bench. have hubs paint since you cant paint. pick out fabric and batting or foam. flip bench over and staple like crazy. flip back over. try convince hubs its not a laptop table for the living room. done.

now to pick out a paint color for the console table too. and convince the hubs to prime and paint that. who knows, maybe after all this painting the hubs has to do he will actually enjoy or not mind painting. haha. probably not but a girl can hope right?

date night

date night last friday night. finally! :) now dont get me wrong, im not trying to blame the hubs in taking a 14 week hiatus from dates---im equally if not more to blame. well the exhaustion is to blame but still. we had a lot of fun. and it was even the hubs' ideal date = cheap! 

we started out ice skating. which was free. cant beat that. now let me just say the last time i went ice skating was like one time in college and before that was who knows when. aka a long time. the first few minutes were kinda sketchy trying to get my balance/get used to being on ice skates. but it was a lot of fun. 

 
thankfully i didnt fall! and neither did the hubs. even though i thought that would be hilarious. cuz im nice like that. after ice skating i was going to surprise the hubs with supper at a place that was on diners drive ins and dives. for a really good jucy lucy. however, the wait at that place and their sister restaurant was an hour to an hour and a half wait. um no. this girl and this baby cannot wait that long just to get seated. so we ended up at a little sports place near our house. it was alright. nothing to write home about. 


so all in all it was a fun night to get out of the house and have some fun. hopefully we can try that jucy lucy place sometime during the week when the wait wont be so long.

random thoughts

im not liking spaghetti these days. i can sorta tolerate the first time but then cant even begin to tolerate it for leftovers. so please, no spaghetti until after august. thanks.
yesterday i had a great day at work. or shall i say drive to work? for a few weeks now ive driven past this odd billboard full of shamrocks. didnt think anything of it. just thought it was a BIT early for st pattys day but hey. BUT THEN YESTERDAY the billboard had changed. and it had the greatest news. SHAMROCK SHAKES ARE BACK!!! i was so excited. and then got a bit nervous...what if the baby didnt like shamrock shakes? but have no fear, ive already tried one and baby approves! whew! 

im also enjoying jolly rancher chews. a bit of a kick of sour. and pickles. but not together.

the hubs and i are going on a date tonight! im excited. its been approximately 14 weeks since we have been on date. not that ive been counting or anything.

im so thankful for energy. im finally getting energy back! so much so ive been cleaning and working on some projects. i know you are pumped huh?

im also procrastinating on researching what to do for the nursery. it still seems pretty odd and surreal. 


and thats about all the random thoughts for now. now that ive told the world i have more energy im suddenly pretty tired. hmm. oh well.
