randomness

over the weekend i started painting ham's room.  i was hoping a second coat wouldn't be needed but no such luck.  mike wants to host a big party next weekend so i'm doing a mad rush around here trying to keep things clean and get things in order.  this sort of stuff really pisses me off because he fails to recognize just how much work goes into hosting a big party.  {i prefer small gatherings}  food +alcohol preparing and buying, keeping the house in some sort of order and i'm still working on where to put everything.  tonight on oprah i saw that someone had written a book(?) titled " i would trade my husband for a housekeeper".  that's my new motto.  

here are a few random photos that has nothing to do with this post.  ham with his license and car.  of course he's thrilled to be having his picture taken with me.  look at how tall he is now  :O(
   

some awesome news for me.  my twenty- seventeenth birthday is coming up soon.  the husband, who i would definitely trade for a housekeeper and  my little nugget, who wants something every 5 minutes, is going to nana's house on friday.  i will have the whole house to myself, well besides the ham but i plan on ignoring him so it will be all good. kidding. sort of.....

and for some more awesome news.  i won another blog contest.  i swear i'm not a blogging contest whore. i only comment if its something that i love and lots of times i comment when there is no contest.  anyway, i found libbie's blog diary of an air force wife through tara whitney's blog.  check out her etsy shop too- she has some AMAZING images on there.

i was debating between "the giving tree"  with texture or the "i will not grow up".  i have wonderful spaces picked out for either one and decided to have libbie surprise me with one. knowing that we have just moved into our new house, she's sending me both!!  libbie- THANK-YOU!  AND YOU ROCK!!  i cant wait to see them in person.
