Weekend Recap

Can we get an extra day in the weekend?
Maybe 3 full days off and 4 full work days?
I'd gladly sign a petition for 1 less work day. :)


Friday was our wind down night.
We just sat back & watched some movies
and then I was up all night working on Ancestry.com again.
I'm trying to do as much as possible before
my 14 day free trial expires! 

Saturday I woke up with a sore throat and stuffy head.
It was very mild but I felt the funk coming.
So I went for my trusty remedy that ALWAYS works.
Listerine.

Everytime I feel a little cold coming, I gargle Listerine.
You have to gargle it to the point where you're almost choking on it.
I know it sounds gross, but it works!
every.single.time.
I haven't gotten sick in almost 2 years because of this little tip!

for the blog

I don't use this purple one that's pictured though.
I use the blue stuff, with the alcohol in it. 
So the next time you're feeling a little sick, try this!
But you must try it as soon as you feel it coming, 
not when you're already sick.
(I wasn't asked or paid to write this post- this is my opinion only!)

Saturday night, I went to a "girl's night in" for a friend's 31st birthday.
The plan was to play a few games, have a few drinks, enjoy 
some good food and then go out.
Well, 2 Lifetime movies later...it was a wrap.
That channel will suck you in and have you stuck to the couch!

Sunday we hung out at my mom's & relaxed all day.
We did go ahead and reserve our rooms for Panama City Beach.
We're anxious to get down there this summer and all the rooms
are already booking up so fast.
So now we're counting down the days!

First Appointment

Today I have an appointment with a new doctor.
We are officially starting the process yet again, to try & get pregnant.
This doctor was recommended by a friend who tried for several years and after seeing him, 
she now has 2 gorgeous little girls.

So please say a prayer for me!

Europe is a go!

Thanks to a very dear friend of mine who lives in Germany,
we have decided on a Eurotrip to Germany, Paris, Amsterdam, & possibly Greece.

for the blog

So we have decided to fly into Germany first.
My friend & her husband live 2 hours from Amsterdam & 4 hours from Paris and
they have offered to let us stay with them and they will drive us to both
Paris & Amsterdam!

And...IF  I can get a few more days off then the 4 of us will also travel to Greece!
*squeeeel!!!*

This is going to save us so much money since now we'll only need a hotel for Greece!
Now we just have to find decent priced plane tickets!

Weekend Recap

Saturday we went to my brother's fiance's baby shower.
There were lots of yummy treats!







They received so many gifts!





 Myself, the mother-to-be, & my mom


Grandmother-to-be & mom-to-be

I can see why they tell you not to buy too much before the baby
arrives, because you truly do get SO much at your baby shower!

After the baby shower, hubby & I took a friend out for dinner & drinks at TGIFs.
I LOVE their tropical berry mojito & pot stickers!

I was in the mood to try something different so I ordered the
Korean Tacos.
I hate to say it, but these were awful in my opinion.
I think it was the cilantro (that I asked them to hold but they forgot).

Sunday we went to Lowe's and FINALLY bought some tile
for our kitchen makeover. 
This is going to be a long process so there won't 
be before & after pics anytime soon!

Week in Review

Nothing much going on this way so I haven't had much to blog.

Here are some snapshots of what's been going on this week.

First, I realized I was allergic to deodorant.
Well actually the aluminum that's in deodorant.
So I've been trying this natural crap which actually works.
The regular stuff causes lumps in my armpits which hurt.
This stuff doesn't, but I feel yucky. 
Definitely going to have to find some other natural brand.



$30 for 8 gallons.
I'm ready to start Flintstoning it.

My mom purchased this storage shed.
Hubby is putting it together for her this weekend. 
The instruction manual is the size of a phone book.
He's gonna be irate. LOL!

I love Sandy...
But this isn't a good look boo!
When she strained to open that envelope her neck turned into a Shar Pei.

This is a new game I'm playing called
What's the Word.
Addicting but Annoying!

I have spent a lot of time recently on Ancestry.com.
I've found SO much interesting info thanks to many family 
members who also use this site.

Below is my1st cousin 4x removed.
Rev Edward Graham Elsey & wife Phoebe and kids.
He was born in 1830 & was a staunch abolitionist that
helped with the Underground Railroad!

Rev. Edward Graham Elsey & family
 


Tomorrow I'm going to my brother's fiance's baby shower.
I can't believe she's almost here!

Harlem Shake

Has everyone seen the crazy Harlem Shake videos on YouTube lately?
They're practically popping up everywhere.
Even our local news station joined in on the fun.

Here's one I found with several videos in one:

I am trying to convince my friends to make one now! :)
