Just Another Weekend

My weekend was pretty good.  I made a trip to Target. I tried very hard to stick to my list and I did pretty darn good!  I only impulse bought 1 item and it was a shirt on sale for $10.  Not too bad! Especially seeing as I hadn't been to Target in 2 weeks.  I thought I might go crazy but I didn't.  I think it helped that I was on a schedule because I was going to a movie so I couldn't just wander around aimlessly pulling things off the shelf.

I saw 27 Dresses.  I really liked the movie.  It was a great chick flick.  Both Katherine Heigl and James Marsden were great.  James Marsden hasn't been a leading male.  I liked him in this role.  There was also a great Elton John song in the movie.  When I got home I bought the song off iTunes!  I do that.  See a movie that has music in it that I haven't heard in awhile and I go and get it off iTunes.  It brings back memories!

After the movie I went to Linens and Things.  Bad idea! No list.  Time to wander around and pull things off the shelf.  I needed everything I got!  A new Toaster, Tea Kettle, and a picture for my bedroom. 

Sunday I watched the Marathon on Comedy Central.  OMG - they had some funny people on there.  The number one was Jeff Dunham.  If you have never seen him go to You Tube and watch  Spark of Insanity or Talking To Myself.   I got so caught up in the marathon that i didn't accomplish anything.  Have you ever done that.  Sat down and started watching something and before you know it the whole day is gone.

I need to start going out and doing stuff.  This Blog could get pretty boring if all I do is run errands.

A New Year

I made a resolution to try new things this year and not let fear get in the way.  I have been an avid blog reader and have always thought about doing one myself.  Fear of being judges or people not wanting to read anything I had to say stopped me.  So, it is now time to conquer that fear and just do what I want!  This posting is about some of the resolutions I have made this year besides starting a blog.  I like to start out the New Year with a clean slate; this generally means cleaning and organizing the house!  I started with the kitchen this weekend; cleaning out the refrigerator and the pantry.  Have you ever noticed that there are things in your refrigerator that you don't even remember buying let alone trying to remember why you bought it!  I got rid of so many half used old items yesterday it was sad.  Of course, I then needed to go to the grocery store because all I had left in the refrigerator was condiments, pop, and butter.  Today it is time to work on the pantry.  I'll let you know what I find!  Another resolution is to put myself on a budget and stick to it.  Sundays are hard for me to do this because I love to look at the ads that come in the Sunday paper especially the Target Ad.  I can always find things in there that I think I absolutely must have right now.  Especially with a resolution to to stay organized because they always have cool containers and gadgets on sale at the beginning of the New Year for people just like me!  I looked through the ad today but so far so good I have not left the house to go shopping.  It is tough too because they have clear storage boxes on sale.  I could really use those to try and organize my child's room!  I have a teenager living in this house which is definitely an obstacle to having a clean organized house.  Any suggestions you might have for getting a 17 year old to keep their room clean and to clean up after themselves in the kitchen would be greatly appreciated!     

Time to start on that pantry!  I'll let you know if I find anything interesting.
