Anyway, I’m trying to regain my forward momentum so hopefully you’ll be seeing more of me coming up.

Oh, by the by, I’m in one of Tina’s posts – check it out.  She’s so damn cool!

Actually, I ran into Target because my beady little mind decided to buy some CD organizers because I want my CD’s to be easier to get to.  As of yesterday they were in 4 big Tupperware containers under the guest bed.  Not the easiest access!  Plus, I started thinking & plotting how much room I would save if I ditched all the cases.  I know everyone else but me did this like 10 years ago.  I just couldn’t let go till now.  And, of course, in the age of the MP3 file why do I really hold onto the CD’s?  Again, just can’t let go. Not just yet.

So, I go to Target & then my hubby calls & tells me he needs a meat thermometer thus FORCING me into the kitchen section.  He made us an awesome ham for dinner with yummy potatoes & mac n’ cheese.  (He’s the best!)

So here’s what I ended up with:

CD organizers – what I actually went in for – $22.99 each/bought 2

Also, got Goblet of Fire on BluRay – $17.  Hubby loves the BluRay.  Now, I’ve never watched a regular DVD & thought to myself, “Geez, why is this so blurry?” but, you know, whatever.  BluRay makes him happy.  Who am I to judge? LOL

Kitchen stuff we’ve never had before: Meat thermometer – $6.89, cake server – $3.48 (clearance) & frosting spreader – $3.48 (clearance)

My last after-Christmas items.

Owl ornament – $1, elf outfit for cat – $1.25 (I couldn’t resist!)

The result of the elf hat being tried on by Stanley:

(I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time – I really wish I had video)

It reminded me a little of this:

I’m planning some major organizing/cleaning for this weekend.  I always get a bug up my butt during the New Year changeover to clear out the old & unused.  Plus I didn’t clean once while my guest were here so you can just imagine how grotty I feel about my house right now.

I’ve been working on making a lot of changes to my office over the last few days.  So far I think it’s great but won’t take photos till I feel it’s “done”.  For now anyway.  I do plan to paint the walls later but that will happen much later in the year.  I’ll take a photo of all the junk I’ve cleaned out of it & am getting rid of.  It amazes me how much stuff I hang onto.  But I do go through phases & once they’re over, they’re pretty much over.

Please hop over there if it sounds interesting to you. I am hoping to improve myself & possibly inspire others in the process.

Thanks all!

I had some really great ideas this morning so watch out for new posts. I have a couple intriguing ideas to punch it up a bit.

Anyway, if you are interested in web design (or just seeing what I do for a living) you may want to check out my new blog MissAmyDesigns.com.  There is a link to it on the right hand of this site.  I’m keeping it simple for myself by keeping it on Blogger.com for now.

I was going to combine that with this blog but really didn’t feel right about it.  I don’t really want to dilute the focus of this one.

Thanks, as always for reading & check out the new one if you think it may be of interest to you!

They were just too darn narrow & the covered platform was digging into my foot.  But I feel like I should have kept them as decor – they are so sculptural!  Goodbye, gorgeous!

Joan & David booties – $44 down from $60 (TJMaxx price) down from $210 (TJMaxx compare at price)

Also, ran to Target on lunch that day & couldn’t find the harems worn by Apricot Tea that I so wanted - all in the same day!  Ahhhhh!
