What's New With You?

Well January is finally over. I'm so happy to see it go. But now we have to deal with February. At least it's a short month. January was long & pretty uneventful. I've been hybernating. Concentrating on scrapbooking, cleaning, destashing the house, online shopping & writing letters.

February we have the Superbowl party on Sunday & we'll be celebrating Valentine's Day on President's Day most likely again this year. Anthony has off & T has school. So we can go on a lunch date. I want to start the house stuff since football will be over. We got new curtains at a yard sale for our living room, so we need to trim them because they are way to long. I want to paint my closet doors in the bedroom & a few other house projects. I really would like to do my closet over. Buy different storage stuff for it & set it up different, but I'm not sure if we will get to that this month. I just have the same goals for this month that I've been doing almost every month lately. Destash stuff (my magazine pile has gone down so much. I'm going through magazines from 2016 right now), catch up on scrapbooking pages, cleaning & organizing.

Monday Motivation

Scrapbook pages that I got done this weekend

Nail Files. Week # 312

This week I am wearing a new polish that I got this week. It's Pure Ice~Sweet Serenity. I saw a You tuber wearing a color like this, so I went out & found something similiar. I love this color. I think I already have a few polishes close to this.

Stuff & Things

* I'm really glad that football is almost done. That's all I see on the news.

* Anthony had the flu/a cold this week. He was home Tuesday & Wednesday. He never stays home. He went back to work today. So I'm trying real hard to stay healthy &T too. I had a bad sore throat this morning & a sinus headache now.

*We got a new beta fish a week ago & tonight T finally got her 2 ghost shrimp that she's been wanting. It's really hard to get a pic of the shrimp because they are see-through.

*My Mom fell again. She fractured her tale bone & is in the hospital. She'll be in there for a while & then will go to rehab. It's tough when you see your parents getting old. I makes me sad.

Mommy & Me Monday~Silly Snapchat

Stuff & Things

*So my hubby's football team made it into the Superbowl. What a surprise. They always win & have been in the Superbowl a lot. We had a party today & we will be having a party for the Superbowl too. I'm not a fan of sports or football.

*I've been hybernating & I'm thinking I need to get out with a friend for coffee or lunch or something soon.

*I haven't done a You tube video lately, so I really need to do 1 this week.

* I went to Target on Friday. I got some stuff in the dollar section for a planner swap that I am doing. I got a bunch of stuff from a girl on fb. I need to mail her package out tomorrow. I didn't think they had a lot in the dollar section. The shelves have been pretty empty lately. So I've been doing a lot of swaps & getting some cool stuff.

*I need to get some more plants. They make me happy & I'm pretty good with them. I think I have  a bit of a green thumb. I just wish we had windowsills & more sun.
