Merry Xmas - New Floors

I have been too busy to post this last week and a half as we just got our hardwood floors refinished and hardwood laid in our family room. I would have uploaded before pictures but our carpet was so gross I would have been embarrassed. Merry Christmas to us! This was not cheap but worth every penny.

Next will be all new furniture centered around our new rug. I can't wait!

And we got to see the most beautiful sunset tonight and fireworks last night so that definitely brightened the day.

Last weekend

We had a busy weekend last weekend. My brother-in-law Joe came to town from Florida to be part of the surprise for my Mother-in-law, Rose's, 60th birthday part. Friday we got our first snow of the year and then we had to get ready for the party. Joe made his grandmother's enchiladas and I made flautas the morning of the party. I then took Rose and Dakota to the spa for a massage while everyone set up for the surprise.

Rose said she knew something was going on because of my texting but I don't really thing she did. The next morning we took Joe to the airport and Jose was wiped from all the events. It was a lot of fun and really good to see family we hadn't seen in a while but I'm glad it's over, I'm tired!

Amazing

I thought this Presidential race was going to last forever! I am so happy that the Democrats are back in office and that my friend's brother will finally be Secret Service to the President! Go Obama.

Girl's Night Out

I have had two very diserved girl's nights out in the last five days. Anna and I had a great time at the new wine bar across the street from where we live and then finished the night at my favorite Irish pub Landsdown Arms. There was some amazing live music and a guy painting to the music.

Last night I had a minor melt down so Kara came to the rescue and we went over to another bar across the street for some fun and then had an awesome dance party USA at my house. I do think Ellen is right, sometimes you just have to dance!

Don't forget to vote!

I am done voting! I went to the early voting and it was great, in and out in under 20 minutes. I hope all of you are planning to vote as well it is so important this year.

Happy Fall

I can't believe it is almost November. I have really been getting into fall this year, not sure why but I found all this great gords and corn for my kitchen table.

Craft fair time has begun as well and I picked up these great coasters (with the dragonfly) and a dish made out of stain glass.

And my favorite purchase this fall is my Take a Bite Out of Crime t-shirt. We have a great store within walking distance Savvy and although everything is outrageously expensive, they have great sales and great t-shirts.

Working . . .

I wish I had some new exciting news to report but I feel like I work all the time. I just got back from Pueblo where I spent last night. I don't like driving much these days for those of you who know! I try to keep a low profile.

I am home now and getting sucked into Facebook. It's so weird to reconnect with all of my old friends. But I do love seeing all my girls from college there and all the pictures, especially Dana's dog Wally, he is too cute.
