Procrastination Kills....

brain cells. Or something like that. I sit here, mesmerized by the TV. I am watching this show called the Bad Girls Club. It is a reality show about all of these not so nice girls living together. When, actually I SHOULD be up cleaning and doing laundry. I guess I will in a little while. I want to have it done before Chris wakes up( he is off work today and was out really late last night), we will see if it happens.

So, Lance's birthday party was rescheduled due to his BFF being sick, and other friends not being able to make it, and lack of funds this week. So it was postponed to next sunday, same time, same place. I was dissappointed because I was really looking forward to seeing everybody and getting out of the house. Oh well.

Thats all for now, i have such a short attention span lately.

Home sweet home, still.

So, we are not moving. The apartment that we are in offered us a killer deal that we just could not pass up. They took about 100 dollars off of our montly rent, offered us two weeks free in March, a fresh coat of paint, and a carpet cleaning. So we are just going to stay here and fix this place up a little more. We re arranged the living room and it already makes the biggest difference. We are planning on taking down the dinning room table for more room. We are also going to get an entertainment center and a bookshelf. And for the bedroom folks.... night stands. Yes, finally some night stands.

So I baked the test batch of cookies last night with the help of Mallory. The third batch turned out great, so now I know what I need to do for the party. I will bake the cookies tomorrow, ice them on Saturday and they will be ready for the goody bags on Sunday just in time for the party!

I have really been slacking on the whole wifey thing lately. No... not THAT. lol. I mean i have been slacking on the housewifey cleaning stuff. I have been so busy lately with trying to get this apartment ready to move that I have been neglecting Laundry and stuff like that.

Well, ladies and gents, I better get to it! Talk to you all later!

PS. Lance has this toy called The Hooked on Phonics Smart Stick and it is a game to help him learn his colors and shapes. And I am please to announce that at the age of 2 (almost 3) he knows most of his colors and a few shapes!

PSS. Mal is coming over tonight and we are going to start working out 3 times a week! Go us! Maybe I WILL be in shape by the time May rolls around! Wish me luck!

Car Trouble

Car Trouble? Hardly! Try no car at all! I wrecked it. Yes, I am fine, and no Lance wasn't in the car. My car however needs some TLC now. This stupid driver came into my lane, and instead of hitting the car, I ran up on the curb. Then I lost control of my car and got back on the street and ended up on the sidewalk again. I broke my wheel and the oil filter. Needless to say, my car is not drivable now.

This puts us in a small predicament. Chris now has to walk to work (Thank God we live close), and I am having to call on friends to come get me to run errands. The worst time for this to happen as I am trying to get Lance's birthday party together. Jenny is going to come and pick me up on Friday and take me to Party City that way I can get the table cloths and plates and balloons. Merinda is coming out early on Sunday to take me to get the cake (which I can order on the phone)and to get the balloons aired up! Things seem to be working out for the most part, but I hate feeling totally helpless. The good news is, my car should be fixed sometime this week.

Birthday Fun!

Hello internet! Things here have been pretty busy.... you know, life? So, I havnt really been updating on here as much as I would like. But.... I'm here now, so thats all that counts right? Last week we went to Lance's little BFF's birthday party, he turned 2! Lance had so much fun! I will be putting a couple of pics up on my flikr accnt so go check it out! Also, the same night Lance got to go spend the night with his Aunt Murphy because Chris and I had a banquet to go to for his work! He was in the top 10% of his location (over 700 people!)so he got invited to this dinner/party! We had a lot of fun and I had some wine... lol. He got to go up on stage and recieve an award for being so awesome at his job! I was a very proud wifey.

I have been filling out invitations for Lance's birthday party. He will be turning 3 this month... I am hoping to get the invitations in the mail today so people will have plenty of time to RSVP. His theme is pirates and I am getting him a little "pirate head scarf" to wear at his party. It is going to be so cute! We are having his party at Planet Pizza! It is like an amusement park for little kids and it is indoors! I picked out his cake last night. It is a pirate ship deck and it is going to say "Man the deck! Lance is 3!" on it.

I am hoping to find a babysitter for this Friday night because Chris and I have a friend (Jenny's husband) who is turning 35 and they want to go out for drinks and fun! Hopefully I will be able to find one.

We are moving soon and the date is quickly approaching. We move in 18 days, so i need to get started on packing up this apartment. I am so super excited about our new apartment. I am anxious because since our first apartment, nowhere has really felt like "home". Maybe this one will.

Thats all for now! Thanks for visiting my blog, keep reading and have a great day!

New New New

So, in the exitement of getting a new place and a new start, I have been looking at new furniture and stuff. I found a FABULOUS dresser that is sort of vintage inspired! And for those who know me well, know that I love all things vintage! I also found a GREAT comforter! I posted the pic above! I don't want the pink sheets or anything (okay, I do... but I dont think Chris would go for it, lol). I think it would look so good with the black bed that we already have. We have also found a new tv stand to go with our new tv!

I have also been in contact with my mom's best friend from when I was young. We are going to meet up and have lunch after Valentines day! I am so excited that i will be able to talk with someone who knew my mom so well. My sister and my grandmother are also going to go.

Chris went out to lunch with his brother and his best friend Shawn today. They are going to Chipotle and he is going to bring me back some food! I am so excited because I love Chipotle!

Thats all for now! Keep reading!

Hi Barbie!

How to get free starbucks

So, let me tell you about my day so far... and it is not even 3:00 pm yet. So, this morning i made a check list of all the things i need to get done today. Some of which included things i needed to do outside the home. So I made arrangements with Chris for me to have the car after his lunch break today. I take him back to work and proceed to drive 20 min away to Big Lots to by Lance's little BFF a birthday present for his party on Saturday. I get there and go inside only to realize that I forgot to get the debit card from Chris. So I wasted the entire trip. Because of this I also am unable to go pick up perscriptions at Walgreens like I needed to do. So, the last stop on my list was to drop off Chris' dress pants at the cleaners. This I actually get done with no problem. I was so bummed however that I think to myself well, I have actually a couple of dollars cash so I can at least treat myself to a frap from Starbucks. I get in the drive through because I have a sleeping toddler in the back, and order. I order my ususal Caramel Lite Frappacino in Grande. Before i get to the window I am going to get my wallet out. It's not there, so I have to wait for the two cars in front of me to get their order to leave. I also cannot back up because there is a line of cars behind me. I get to the window and I am so distraught. I tell the guy, I am so sorry but I forgot my wallet at home. I live just around the corner is there anyway you can set that aside for about 5 min while i run home and get my money. He says, you know what? It is already made, don't worry about it, and hands me my much needed caffeine. And that ladies and gentlemen is how you get free Starbucks.

On another note, I got in touch with my mom's best friend from years ago, and we are having lunch sometime soon.

Longing to cook a homecooked meal

It's been a while since I blogged, i have been up to my eyeballs in a screaming toddler wanting all of mommy's attention. But, there are some exciting new things on the horizon for the Stone family.

The first of which is Chris' banquet at work. We are going to this on the 7th. It is pretty exciting because only the top 10% of his company got invited! Go hubster! We get to dress up all semi-formal and go out for a fantastic dinner! I think they will be giving away free stuff and awards and things like that, so maybe we will come home with something. Not to mention, that we have a babysitter for the night which is awesome because i wont have to go out late and then get up wit the baby early in the morning.

In other news, we also are moving! We got a new apartment in a diff complex right across the street so it will be an easy move! It is an amazing apartment! It is a second story apartment, but the cool thing is, we will have no downstairs neighbors! Our apartment is on top of our attached garage! Another simply great feature is that our front door is on the ground floor and when you come inside, you go up stairs into out dining room! It's like our own little townhome, or condo, or whatever they are called. We also have bought a new TV to go in the new apartment! Super stoked about that! Finally we can upgrade from the 27' TV that we bought 6 years ago, lol. We are also getting an x box 360 (mainly for Chris although i admit, i will probably play it)from our friends! Our new apartment is 3 bedrooms with a big living room and big dining room so now I will finally have room for my dining room table.

Also, and the biggest news.... Lance will be turning 3 on the 28th! My little man is growing up so big!!!

Thats all for now, I'll talk at you later!
