weekend fun

so friday kaylee and i headed over to shipshewana for some material for kaylee's curtains and my mom's *ahem* christmas present when i heard someone calling my name. it was stacy from the order of disarray. it was really cool to finally meet someone in person that i met on-line from blogging. she's just as beautiful in person as she is on her blog. hi stacy!

saturday i got the husband to go to ikea again. it had nothing to do with him getting his big tv, riding lawn mower and white sox wall paper. nope, no guilt trip from me, no never. this time around we headed to bolingbrook which is on the outskirts of chicago. it made the trip much better because it was much faster- 2 hours and no traffic! i got my white coffee table and a few other things. since i am a copy catter, i had to copy nate and jac from the image is found and got a few of these for my hallway too. next ikea trip- no husband or kid.

sunday was spent cleaning up some and napping. (the monster +vodka i had saturday night kept me awake) then over to a friends house for dinner. christine made yummy fajitas with homemade tomato "salsa" and guacamole. we had a great time but i think i embarrassed mike a little by making him bring his own beer. i didn't want him to be a rude guest and drink all of tad's beer. i brought dessert- striped delight and will post the recipe on my other blog called bites. hi christine!

this week has been busy and its only tuesday. trying to come up with a baby gift for a mom from our playgroup. i made a few baby blankets and would like to find something else to go along with it but coming up short. i am loving this from coveiter makes me want to throw a baby shower. i love parties! then this morning mike emails me wanting to know if i would make dinner for one of his co-worker that's coming from out of town. so i spent the day cleaning, grocery shopping and making chicken+ dumplings, salad and cheesecake cupcakes. it turned out pretty good considering i haven't cooked an actual dinner in like a month. hopefully this will bring me back to "normal".
