Barefeet in High Heels

This was my kitchen at 6:30 p.m., on Sunday.

(gotta love how well red translates to camera...ugh.)

This was my kitchen as of 8 p.m. Monday after only spending two hours painting.

 
Thanks Mrs. P!!!


oh...and p.s....

Wednesday night the basement storage room went from this...
















...to this...
















There are times when my organizational and "let's just get rid of crap" skills come in quite handy.  And my hubby is fairly amazing too.  :)

Engineering Man and I were driving to Manhattan for a friend's wedding.

He was sitting in back with the boys and had his feet on the center console.

The following was what came out of his mouth...

"If I would make my foot into a fist and hit you in the mouth would I have kicked you or punched you?"

And that...ladies and gentleman...is the question of the day...

What do you think?  Would it have been a kick or a punch?

(btw...don't we all think it's appropriate to have this question on Dustin and I's 10 year anniversary of being together?  Speaks volumes for our relationship...doesn't it?)

...I was standing on Main Street (ie Broadway) in Marysville, KS talking to a high school buddy, when a girlfriend of mine told me to "GET IN THE VAN!"

Going against my instincts to just go home and go to bed after a long night of waitressing...I jumped in the van...

...and sat on this guy's lap...

...crazy small world...

...after making out with him (sorry mom)...


















...and him grabbing my ass (again...sorry mom)...

...he didn't ask for my number...

...I thought: at least it was a fun fail...

...the next day our home phone rang...

...and it was him...

...apparently he'd gone to his friend's house, to call my friend that was in the van and that friend's mom answered the phone...

...after she determined Engineering Man wasn't a total psycho she accidentally gave him my cousin's number...

...that cousin thought he was talking about my other cousin, and gave him her number...

...and then that cousin finally gave him my number...

...we had our first "date" that night...

...and 10 years later, he's still grabbing my ass...

:)

Love you sweetheart and here's to 10 more.

For reasons I hope to share soon (and no...I'm not pregnant), I've been a little busy lately...doing some crazy reorganization and general cleanup around the house.

Unfortunately I keep forgetting to take my "before" photos.

Basically imagine all of this...

...and everything that's put into it's place, strewn everywhere in the pictures below...that's what it looked like before. 

Mini #1's toys...

Guest bedroom closet...

Master bedroom closet...

I've also done Mini #1's closet, mini #2's closet, the hall closet and the linen closet.  They weren't as dramatic of a change as the above three.  Unfortunately I still have this one to do...

UGH...
