Here are five words that describe my day today:blah, blah, blah, blah blah!

Update on my kitchen tomorrow. I know you are all just dying to know how it went!

And the Winner Is...

Christian!

I knew he would. While all the designers had an awesome show, Christian brought his signature flair and general "fierceness" to the table. Here's a sampling. On a side note, I'll be updating my kitchen progress tomorrow. Yesterday was so pretty the children and I spent time outside with friends.

Spring Cleaning!

I can tell Spring is arriving because, for the past few days, my body has been waking up early. I've been loving it! So, since I've been having extra time in the moring, I think it's time to start planning my Spring Cleaning. Monica is graciously hosting another Spring Clean on her blog. Check it out! Here is the way my schedule looks so far:

Kitchen-March 5
Living Room-March 8
Dining Room-March 10
Master Bedroom-March 12
Laundry Room/Pantry-March 15
Bathrooms and Deck-March 17
Kid rooms-March 19

Also this month (not exactly sure when, depends on the weather) I will weed the flower bed and plant seeds.

A dear friend gave me the neatest gift today. A bumper sticker that has a picture of a handbell on it and says "I can't...I have bell rehearsal!" I love it!

And for those that don't know, I play in two handbell choirs. I started playing 4 years ago (though I can't believe it's been that long!) I absolutely love it. We have a lot of fun. The smaller choir (there are 7 of us and I play treble d's and e's; the larger choir (11 of us) I play bass e's and f's.

A short list

It's been a pretty bad day here at Chateau Crafty, so here's a few things that made me smile today.

1. Seeing a couple of Robin Redbreasts this morning. A sure sign Spring is on the way!

2. Eating dinner and chatting with Mr. Crafty.

3. Having strawberries for dessert.

4. Getting most of my task list for the day completed.

5. Having some dark chocolate covered matzoh!

Menu Plan Monday!

Here's the chow for this week-March 3-9
For more inspiration, please go here!

Monday-Thai ground beef, jello

Tuesday-Cheese stuffed chicken (ended up not having this last week as my husband ate the cheese! lol!), creamed spinach, brownies

Wednesday-Steak, salad, French strawberries

Thursday-Taco salad, ice cream

Friday-Marinated pork chops, broccoli, chocolate chip cheesecake bars

Saturday-Greek hamburger steak, mashed potatoes, pudding

Sunday-Garlic lime chicken, salad, dessert buffet (leftovers)

So, there's my second post and list for March!

A Post Everyday?

Can I do it?

Yes, yes. I know. I missed yesterday. Sue me. I was going to post after Vallen and she snuck in on me. I'll post twice today! I am following the challenge given over at NaBloPoMo to post everyday for the month of March. To spice things up a bit, they propose a month of lists. Now, I am, in fact, a list maker, but I highly doubt you want to see all of my lists as they are only exciting to me. Therefore, I will be making some random lists that you may or may not be bored by. If you are bored, forgive me. If you're not, I am delighted. Without further delay, the first list.

This is my grocery list. I am copying it for you almost the same way I have it written. They only thing that is left out are those words that I had to strike out (if someone could please explain to me how to do that, I would be forever in your debt. I've seen it on numerous blogs, but have yet to figure it out.) I wish I had a scanner so you could see that this is really what my list looks like.
