Bad Blogger

Between moving, starting a new job, and a blizzard, I haven't had the time/energy/topics to blog. When I do have the time to write, I feel like I have nothing exciting to talk about. We moved. I work. Our apartment is a mess. But I'm too tired to care. See? Not so interesting.

So here are a few of the little things I've been thinking about lately:

• Curtains. Now that we have a huge sliding door in our living room, that room is constantly freezing! So we went out on Sunday to find some energy-saving curtains. We were looking for curtains with some color on them, but pretty much all of the insulated panels were solid colors. But I found some non-thermal panels that I LOVE from Target, that were on clearance. Then, we bought insulated panels to go behind them. But those were dang expensive. So I got the bright idea to make my own. I am still going to use the clearance curtains from Target but I'm looking to buy thermal fabric and sew it on the back...we'll see how that goes!

• I finished January's book, Look Again, last night. I was doing really well with being able to put the book down, until I got about half way through. That was yesterday afternoon. I went home and read until I finished. This book was sooooo good. Easily on my top 5 list. It had everything a good book should: romance, mystery, and a cute cat named Oreo Figaro. It was about a woman who adopted a little boy in the hospital, and 2 years later, she sees his face on a missing child flyer. I absolutely loved this book - go read it!

• After talking to a coworker, I have decided to switch to Bare Minerals foundation. I have combination skin (more on the oily side though) and I think the switch from liquid to powder would help me a lot. I am so tired of being shiny in pictures! Anyone use these products?

• We finally had a DVR installed last weekend, and I don't know how I went so long without it! I love having all of my shows recorded, and Doug loves the ability to do instant replays anytime he wants.

• Once the apartment is clean and organized, I will post pictures! It has so much more space than our last apartment, and we are loving Decatur already. The movers moved all of our furniture in last weekend, so we are  s l o w l y  putting the place together.
