Kiss the cook!!

Tomorrow is our big cook out!!  So for those of you that we invited over (and didn't give the heads up that you are going to be on camera) be prepared that we assume you are going to be people that will help us out on our new house!!!  Sooooooo you are going to be part of the video that showcases ALL of those people that will help us out through the whole DIY house building project.  Get your close-up faces on and smile pretty for the camera!!

I am SURE tomorrow will provide me with some seriously funny blog fodder so be prepared.  I am going to take tons of pictures and share the wealth!!

What's on the menu, you ask?  Well about 120 chicken wings, the mother of all pork loins and a whole lotta salads and dips!!  Yeah, that's how us country folk roll!!!

Hopefully the weather cooperates and nobody swears too much (ahem uncle Paco) and the video provides PLENTY of entertainment!!  Stay tuned....

Stager from way back?!?!?!

Well are you ready for it???  Drumroll please.......

Ok, hold up.  You didn't think I would bust out the picture that fast did you???  Ryan called me at work today to let me know that he let the people in to look at the house.  At that point I asked him if he would mind taking a couple picutre of the bed after he made it. OF COURSE, he told me to get a life!!  He said that he knew what I was up to.  He figured I wanted him to take pictures of the bed so I could holler at him for not doing it right.  Man oh man, way to make me sound like a big ole jerk.  So needless to say he told me to get a life.

Don't give up yet though.  When I got home tonight he said hey babe I took a few pictures for you.  Needless to say I just dumped them on my computer and I guessed the last laugh was on me. Here they are:

All I have to say is real funny honey!!  I knew he seemed too eager when he told me he took pictures.  So apparently he decided to take the pictures after the peeps left and he came back from Wendy's (thus the drink on the night stand) and went back to bed!!  I guess the joke was on me...or was it??  Cuz I guess I am the winner.  Winner, winner, chicken dinner!!!!

Sooooooo onto TV news:

I have to work on a video diary!! I am hoping to get that done tomorrow night.  Then this weekend we are having a little cook out with all of the people that will be involved with helping us build our new house.

Staged, stocked and ready to rock!!

Hola my long lost blogger friends!!!!  Well, after 3 long weeks of abso-freaking-lutely nothing....we HAVE A SHOWING TOMORROW!!!!!  Wooohhooooo, can I get a HOLLA?!?!?!?!
Why wouldn't we have a showing tomorrow??  I didn't sleep much last night and all I thought about was coming home and taking a nap after dinner.  Welllll instead of a nap this evening I got to dust, mop floors and scrub the toitys!!!!  Hahhahaa, really I am not complaining.  After all, it only takes one!!  Oh and I didn't make my usual trek down to Costco for froyo and awesometastic flowers so here is my table with my faux flowers from Target.  Not as sweet at Costco but it'll do donkey (in the words of Shrek). 

Sweet baby jesus if you could see our table up close and personal you would feel for me.  We have had that table for a good 7 years or so and I believe it was a floor model at Lowe's.  Seriously our paper plates stick to it when we have really hot food on it.  Heeehehehehe, have no fear I will have a high quality table for our future dining room!!

Here is our master bedroom!  The real reason I am going to share is because I staged the bedroom as I normally would.  Keep in mind we aren't showing 'til tomorrow.  However Ryan will be the one to make the bed before the peeps show up tomorrow.  Bwwwhahahahhhaaaaa he told me I needed to make sure it was all made up when I left in the morning so he would remember what to do when he got up to leave for the potential buyers to come.  So, I am taking a little poll......who thinks MY staged bed will be better than Ryan's????  I am going to leave the camera here tomorrow and make him take a picture when he is done.  So, here is my finished product!

As always keep those fingers crossed!  I'll be sure to post some pictures of Ryan's master staging tomorrow!!  Oh and I'll give you a tv show update tomorrow as well!! 

Is there a homeless guy in my office???

Yep you read that right!!  If you could see my office you would think there was a homeless guy setting up shop in my office.  Does anybody remember back in March when we had a signed contract and we were planning on closing on our house and moving out????  Yeah I am with ya, I barely remember that either.  However yes there was a point where we thought we would be moving out of our house on April 10th but that is now just a thing of the past.  Have I mentioned that we haven't had any action in like 3 weeks???  Oh that's right I did!!!
So back to my original point.  Back when we really thought we sold our house everybody at work started saving me boxes.  So I thought I would share a couple pictures of the hot mess that is my office.  One of these days I am really going to load them in my Jeep and take them home.  Well maybe......here they are:

Wait, is that a to-do list I see on my white board??  Why yes it is!!!  I have to be honest when I say that the short little list seen there is not truthful AT ALL!!!!  If you could see that list right now you would be really stressed out like I am!!!  As a matter of fact you might be having one (or 5) of these like I am tonight!!

So the bottom line is that I have a whole lotta boxes should we ever REALLY sell this house!!  Oh and did I mention that I need you guys to become official followers?  GET IT DONE!!!!!

I need these REAL bad!!!

Hmmmmmmmmm maybe this should be new segment on my post....

As I have said many times I am a little OCD about my sweet new house that REALLY we will build someday.  I totes promise you that we will build SOMETHING eventually.  You guys have stuck it out with me thus far so just hang in there and you will get to the real nitty gritty of the hubby and I duking it out over wood floors vs. carpet in the masterbedroom.  Hehehehehe!!  So as I said OCD....so I do pretty much have most of my master bedroom picked out (remember the silver bedding from a previous dream house deals???)!!!  There are 2 things that I HAVE to have from overstock.com.  Instead of having lamps on each side of our bed I want this hanging pendant light.  I need one for each side of the bed...check 'em out:

OH MY DOG!!!  Do you not love it?  There is one little catch tough.  They are $115.99 each :O  Sweet jesus I will need to hit the lottery or something to pick these up ANY time soon.  Hey overstock .com I am up to 28 followers now, hint..hint!  Could be some good advertising.  Sooooooooo my loyal followers out there (wooohhhooo all 28 of you now) keep an eye out for an exact replica of this that only costs $15.99.  Hey a girl can dream, right????
