countdown: 6 days....

Just 6 more days! Until the family comes, that is...and we are very excited! I've already begun washing the towels, linens, etc. for their stay, as well as cleaning the bathrooms and vacuuming and stuff. This weekend I will buy the pancake mix and cake mix to make Nicholas his cupcakes and pancakes. I will do anything for that kid. What can I say? I am the best big sister! :)

I have bad news about our sleeper sofa I was so excited to buy. They came to deliver yesterday. All I mentioned to them was to please keep the plastic on the furniture so that it wouldn't leave marks on the walls. (This happened before.) Well, I was by myself when they came. And I had a feeling something like this would happen, because I am not very demanding and I can easily get taken advantage of. They brought out the furniture, saw the narrow staircase, and they were convinced it wouldn't fit! They kept insisting they would make several holes in the walls if they tried. Well, I panic and I call Ronnie at work. And, of course, with my luck, he's in a meeting! I ask the guys if they could come another day when he is there. They said yes. Well, I told Ronnie what happened and he was furious because he knows it can get up there being patient and SMART about it by using a measuring tape and angling it certain ways. To make a long story short, Ronnie called and called and called....spoke to probably 5 people yesterday. He finally got a hold of the store manager and he told us he would get the "driver manager" back to us. We get the call today and they say "Sorry, we lost the furniture and we can't locate it." HUH? WHAT? HOW? Soooo FRUSTRATING! Ronnie and I are going to the store tomorrow to get to the bottom of this. This is not acceptable!

So, for now, we are hoping the sofa to be found. If not, we have to buy another aero mattress, so everyone can be comfortable. I am sure everything will get worked out. But I was really looking forward to having the furniture. *sigh*

****UPDATE: They "found" the furniture. And it's being delivered Monday.****

Simply adorable!

BTW, you can track my weight loss here on the blog. I added a ticker you can find on the right. ----> I am very serious about this. I hope you can encourage me!

enough is enough!

Well, 10 lbs later....."my" honeymoon is officially over. For 3 months I have been eating everything I want, when I want. And I am 10 lbs heavier to prove it. Enough is enough and it's time to eat better and lighter. I am on a mission to lose 15 lbs. When I lose those I want to lose about 5 more. Spring is coming and I will be able to walk 30 minutes every day. Plus, I want to shop for cute spring clothes. :-) I will not shop for clothes at the weight I am now. I already shopped for the right foods, like chicken, broccoli, carrots, bananas, tangerines, turkey, 100% wheat bread, etc. I am not on any "diet". Just eating better and less. And drinking tons of water. I hope I can lose, at least, 3 lbs by next Monday. ah! Wish me luck! I will keep you posted on my progress.

Mickey and Minnie Love Us!

When I sent out the wedding invitations, I also sent one to Mickey and Minnie. (No, I didn't actually believe they'd show up!) They sent us well wishes, a signed autograph picture personally made out to us! Just wanted to share another SPECIAL moment from the happiest days of my life so far!


They also sent us a "Just Married" Button. I hope to wear to Disney World someday soon. Living so far away from the magic is really hard on my heart, too. :( I can't wait to have my kids one day. I know I would have to save $ FOREVER to take them. Ah! Can't wait!

Romantic Evening at Home

Ronnie and I spent our first Valentine's day as hubby and wifey in our home. He had no idea what I had in store. We decided we wanted to save our money, so we would make dinner together. But I wanted to make it festive. So, I decorated the kitchen, since that is where we would spend most of the evening. I didn't really have much planned. I knew I was going to bake a cake, but I had nothing to decorate it with. So, off I went to the store where I bought some valentine's m&m's and then I found the heart doilies. I thought "Perfect! I can do something with these!" And I did! Check for yourself. When Ronnie got home he was soooooo surprised! He couldn't stop laughing....he was so amused! We made dinner together, homemade Fettucine Alfredo with bacon and Ceaser Salad. It was easy to make and easy to clean up. So, it was perfect. We had some good wine, which we had purchased back in 2005 at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival. We saved it for something special. We had the cake for dessert and it was good! Well, check everything out for yourselves! I hope you had a sweet day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

One of my favorite holidays is Valentine's Day! We woke up to a winter wonderland Valentine's day. It snowed about 3 inches last night. I want to wish everyone a sweet day. XOXO
