DrawSomething

I got my dad playing on Easter. I keep about 15 games going. Fun little app!

I'm back.

I deleted the blogger app a while ago because I really didn't feel I was posting anything of merit. Then I remembered, I'm writing for me! So welcome back, Maggie! Where to even begin?

Well, I'll just skip straight to the kitchen update. I got the itch to update the kitchen in March 2012. We moved in in January 2011 & replaced the counters, sink, faucet & drawer pulls in April of that year. I'd been tossing around the idea of a backsplash and paint ever since, but never found a tile sheet to get the ball rolling.

Until March. I was browsing online on a Saturday night, bought the tile on Sunday, installed it (myself!) the next Saturday. Decided on a paint color over the next two weekends, and painted the last weekend in March.

The new dining table is on order; it'll be here in May. There are a few more finishing touches the room still needs, but I'm in love with the progress over the last year!

Pinterest.

I absolutely love Pinterest. I'm pretty sure this makes me infinitely unhip, but I'm extremely ok with that. It was once implied that I was a hipster after I used the term "intuitive eating" and I found myself getting offended, as visions of berets and dickish glasses danced in my head. Or is that the French?

It took me a bit to get into Pinterest. At first I only pinned things I found from around the web, but then I was introduced to the true glory of pinning! You can repin other people's pins! Holy shit!

On Sunday I made these two crafts with tutorials found, of course, on Pinterest. I want to make an entire family of sock snowmen!

Thanksgiving & Black Friday.

Here are a few pictures from Thanksgiving & Black Friday. I work today, so the Christmas tree is on my desk.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Updates.

I have so many things to update about but because I only write my posts during my commute to or from work, I either forget or get distracted.  I need to start keeping a list.

In place of an actual, well thought-out update, I give you my favorite trend: boots and knee socks. And in one picture, just knee socks as worn by me while I cuddled on the couch with the husband, watching Die Hard 4.

Rejected.

Red Cross rejected me. I have to say, this wasn't wholly unexpected. Last time I tried to give blood, nearly three years ago, I was 47 pounds heavier and eating total crap at every meal. My hemoglobin read at 11 something at that time.

Since then I've made some serious lifestyle changes. I decided to give it another go and signed up to donate again. Surely my healthier diet, vitamin (ok, so it's Target's daily multivitamin but it has to be better than nothing) and month old exercise regimen has helped my cause.

Nope! Hemoglobin read at 10.7. I was better off eating crap! Ok, not really. But man, de-nied.

I made a wreath!

Pinterest is trying to kill me.

On the upside, I made this wreath. I love it! Had I been thinking, I would've covered the foam in burlap before I began. Instead I covered the back after finishing. Gross. But I still love it!

Tomorrow, I'm making a different burlap wreath. With fabric flowers! That I'm also making! Hey Pinterest, wth are you doing to me?
