BEACH BOUND!
Matt and I are heading to the beach for a nice long weekend. We’ve decided to take the kiddos so the ride down should be interesting. I know Julio is going to have a blast at the grandparents house. Lots of new stuff to get in to. 🙂 I’m just hoping for some sun because my pasty pale tail needs some. BAD!
Happy Labor Day!

Just stir the pot….
Some people just don’t know when to leave well enough alone.
Its super annoying to think something is over only to get a random text or email just stirring the pot. Ugh! Like I don’t have enough stuff going on with out unwarranted drama. I’m not in high school anymore, nor do I care to associate with people who act like that. Put your big girl panties on and grow the eff up!

I don’t think this needs a post.

I love to bake!
I know I’ve said this before but I really do! I found a recipe for crusty bread on pinterest last week. Matt and I love bread but he really loves crusty bread. We’re talking 3 ingredients, about 2 minute prep time, and 12 – 18 hours of waiting. The most time consuming part is waiting for my pan to heat up in the oven.
Yesterday we ran to Costco and Matt saw a package of yeast while we were there. That was the only (and most important) ingredient I was missing. We picked it up and when we got home I mixed everything together. I was a little over zealous and made the dough early so mines been sitting for about 24 hours, oh well. If it flops I’ll try again. It’s too easy not to try and if it’s good I will be pleased.
I am a little disappointed with our weekend trip to the new West Elm store in Southpoint. They didn’t have the bed I was looking for in the store. Now I am on the hunt for something else. We aren’t trying to break the bank and I want something we can use with different furniture when we decide to buy a set. I’ve found a couple of options but Matt said he doesn’t know about buying something we can’t see. For the price I want to spend that’s just not going to happen…..

This is the number of days til FOOTBALL season starts! NC State kicks it off Friday night againstTennessee. Auaburn will play Clemson on Saturday. This is a double headed game which Matt and I were super excited to go to when it was announced last year but after doing a little research we realized tickets alone would cost a small fortune so we will be watching both games at the beach. Not too shabby! Oh and the kiddos are going on their first beachtrip. This should be interesting.

I am currently dreaming….
of a new bed. Hehe! For a while now I’ve wanted new bedroom furniture but after paying for carpet I don’t think buying a full set is in the cards. However, I think I’ve convinced Matt to buy a new bed. He really wants a King size bed and I really want a Tempurpedic mattress (not a real one because those things are $$$$ but a nice fake one from Ikea would do.)
Currently I have my eye on a bed from West Elm. They are opening a new store in the Southpoint Mall in Durham next week I think. This will be great because we can check it out and make sure it’s what I want, but I think it is. I’ve been coming back to fabric headboards. It just seems like they are in style and a little more versatile. We will get a dark base and then when the time comes we can buy the rest of the furniture. My only complaint is I don’t really like any of the coordinating furniture from West Elm so this means, when the time comes, we will have to find something else that matches. I think we will be okay though.
I really do like this look. I also like how low to the floor the base is. This will keep the kiddos from getting under the bed. But it also eliminates any sort of under bed storage. We desperately need more storage in our bedroom for sure. Oh well, that’s why we need new furniture. 🙂

It’s a trust thing
Nothing makes me angrier than other people talking about my private matters. My mother thinks it is her job to tell everyone we know our (mine and Matt’s) personal business! I am beyond annoyed about this. I have asked her repeatedly to keep her damn mouth shut and she continues to tell more people!
This is a huge violation of my trust and it makes me mad she still thinks it’s okay “because it’s so and so.” If I wanted so and so to know my personal business I could call or email them and tell them what the hell is going on. Otherwise it’s NONE of their business! At this point she is out of the loop. It’s sad that I don’t feel I can trust my own mom with personal items. It’s nice to talk to her but if I can’t trust her then I have no other choice then to just not tell her anything.
It’s super frustrating that she just doesn’t “get” it. And I think what bothers me even more is her “no big deal” attitude. I don’t go around blabbing her personal affairs and I would appreciate it if she would do the same.
Okay rant over.

Ups and downs
This week has been full of them. It started Wednesday when I got to work only to find the power was out and I had to turn around and work from home – that didn’t suck. But I did get some disappointing news that morning. Then on Matt’s way home, he was rear ended. Thankfully both him and the car were okay. Well the bumper on the car is a little messed and if the car weren’t actually only a few months old we probably wouldn’t even fix it. Since the car is new and someone else is paying the car will be fixed. Bumpers for BMWs aren’t cheap per the quote Matt got today.
We did get some good news this week. Mom and dad have their house up for sale and yesterday they found out they would be getting an offer. The offer came in today and it seems to be a pretty decent offer but they are still working out the details. As of now I’m still not sure what’s going on and I’m not sure they do either. Their plan is to sell the house and move to Raleigh. So lots of stuff is still up in the air with them.

A little this and that
This week is creeping by. Yesterday was sooo slow I thought I was going to die. This morning I wake up, get to work only to find out the power is out AGAIN! Ughh. I turned around and came home. It is so nice to have a laptop now. I have everything I need should I need to work from home.
I might have made a little time to do my nails. 🙂
You may remember this pic. Well this is what my begonias look like now. I think our little bunny friend did some snacking plus I think they took a pounding by all the rain. Oh yeah, I don’t think I’ve actually mentioned all the damn rain we’ve had lately. It’s crazy. It seems like almost everyday for the last few weeks we get rain. Like down pours. The rest of the country might be having a drought but people are going to start growing webbed feet around here it’s so wet.
I planted my begonias next to our porch. Our porch doesn’t have gutters so I think the rain runs off and right onto them. For a while they were doing pretty good but it looked like they were breaking at the roots. The rain is the only thing I could come up with. Then the bunny. But as you can see they are coming back. I’m pretty impressed since I haven’t done much with them. A few weekends ago I got out and put a little more soil around them and kind of pushed them back in the ground so I guess it worked.
Anyway back to work. I still have to paint my other hand. 😉
