Yesteryear Revival

mister took this picture of me yesterday when i had just woken up from a nap...


so, i got busy last night and got tons of packing done!  the movers are coming today so i wanted to clean up a little and get the majority of the packing taken care of.  a and i are going to visit my brother this weekend.  he just moved in to a new place today.  i've been reading all these blogs lately, and i'm anxious to get busy crafting and such, but all my stuff is packed!  oh well, i guess it can wait a week.  last night i had a serious case of insomnia.  i have only ever experienced this one other time in my life, and it was when i had started taking a new medication.  ugh.  it was so frustrating.  i finally got to sleep around 3:30 and then got up to take the mister to work at 8:30.  that may seem like enough sleep to some, but for me it's really not.  i usually sleep at least 9 hours a night, and that's not including daily naps.  hard life, huh?  :)  well, my world will be changing soon enough, and i'm pretty excited.  i think michigan will be an exciting new adventure for me and the mister.  i really hope he loves his job.  college towns are pretty exciting places, so i'm thrilled we'll be living in one again.  ok, well until later....

gloomy day...

well, once again i should be packing, but i'm not. i've been procrastinating all morning! i slept in late, ate a couple bowls of cereal, tried to watch the brady bunch (but something is wrong with the tv!) and now i'm sitting and watching the storm come while updating my blog. i think i may start a new book today also. i've only read three books this whole summer, and that is not sufficient. since i'm not working this summer, the plan was to read a whole lot and craft/thrift a whole lot. well, i thrifted for sure, but i didn't so much create and read. i think once we move to our bigger place in michigan i'll be more apt to do more. hmm we'll see. so the mister and i are on a soup kick. we've been eating lotsa soup and i've been collecting lotsa recipes for this fall and winter. i've decided i'm not really a cold soup person, so i think i'm going to dedicate my soup-eating to this fall and the colder months. i've been eating soup in 90+ degree weather, and it's not so great. a, on the other hand, thinks he likes cold soup, so he's on his own. :) i'm so excited for our move, i can hardly wait til next weekend! i love love love the house we are moving in to. the fact that it has a fireplace is soo amazing. i can't wait to snuggle with my babies and the mister in front of it. ok, well i guess i better get to it.

my new pan!

So, instead of packing (which is what I should be doing) I am going to update by blog. :) We are moving to Michigan in less than two weeks, and I have done nothing to get ready. Movers are coming on Friday to look around and give us a quote on how much it will cost. It sounds like our budget is going to be maxed out if we hire this company. Oh well, I think it will be so worth it to hire people to move us rather than us (and my parents) doing it ourselves yet again. I can't believe we just moved less than two months ago! Surprisingly, or maybe not so surprisingly, I've acquiring lotsa stuff in these two months, so now I need to weed some other things out. I'm getting excited about decorating our new place once we get settled...I see a new couch, some new rugs..hmm and lots more in our near future! :) So I bought this cute new vintage lidded pan at the thrift store yesterday, and guess what? I just saw the same pan on Bewitched!! I love it! Hmm I should take a picture of it to post. I've also recently been watching The Bob Newhart Show. I remember watching TV Land when I was younger and I love being able to check the shows out from the library now. Ok, well really I should get to work, however, I will probably stop by the Goodwill sometime today.
