Enjoy the weekend!

My Kind of Town

It's official! A and I are going to be able to make it to Chicago after all! We weren't sure with my layoff, but things have a way of working themselves out, and finding cheap airfare doesn't hurt either! :)

I wanted sooo badly to spend my birthday this year with my friends and family. What a better way than to ring the big 2-7 with those whom you love the most. (side note: does that make me in my late 20's now? geez!)

So, those of you from my kind of town, mark your calenders: August 25-September 1.

I've also caught wind from a certain husband and a certain bff that there may be a little get together (read: birthday celebration!) on the eve of August 28. So... free up your calenders and GET EXCITED!! ;)

Closet Makeover

Spring cleaning hit us a little late this year, but we keep a pretty tidy house so it wasn't much of a problem.

Saturday A caught the "cleaning and organizing" bug. Who was I to discourage that? I got home from the gym and he was in his office with the 'tunes cranked and garbage bags being filled by the minute. I took the opportunity to tackle a project i've been wanting to work on for a while... the linen closet.

Mom... don't look! (lol)

BEFORE:

I know, what a disgrace! That's what happens over time when things just get thrown in and the door is left closed. I am ashamed that the closet even got this bad but it happens.

AFTER:

Ahhh, sweet relief! What a difference! Everything in it's place; old, unused things thrown away; and all the extra room I seemed to have acquired!

Just amazing what an hour of your Saturday makes.

next up... guest room makeover addition.

Free and Fresh!

Look at the beautiful flowers my husband brought me yesterday. They are from our flower beds outside.

Yay for free and fresh flowers!

Enjoy your 4th!

Organizing the Cellar

When we got home from Wine Country, we were excited to put all our bottles away. However, there really wasn't any rhyme or reason to how they were arranged so A and I decided to get little more organized.

We first took all the wine out of the cellar and started labeling them. We went online to find the prices and the wineries that they came from. We also did a little research into when was a good time to drink the wines or if we should let them age a little. A snapped a pic of me in all my glory surrounded by all my little liquid loves!

Each wine now has a label looking like the one of the left. The first line is the winery (or person) that we got it from, followed by when we received it, the price and and time range in which we should drink it.

We then arranged the wine back in the cellar according to drinkability time. I also added little colored stars to the tops of the bottle to indicate price range. This way I can gauge really quick of I want to grab an expensive or cheap bottle.

I know, I should be all techno-geek and have an excel spreadsheet and track this all on my computer, but I'm so O.C.D. that I would need to always print off fresh copies and our printer is currently out of order due to the price of ink. So, the old fashioned way will work just fine for now.
