I just love google

Now you can customize what your gmail inbox looks like. It can be a beach or mountains or just a color scheme. I chose cherry blossoms. :-)

Do you see what I see??

Snow! In November!

And then LITERALLY 10 minutes later...

Score!

I've never tackled anything this ambitious before, but I think I can do it. I just scored this trunk (it's really a cedar chest) for $10. The plan is to sand and stain it and use it as a coffee table. So here is the before-

Stay tuned for an after!

Uneventful Life

I'm such a slack blogger! But the reality is that we are really boring people. :-) This weekend was spent cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. I mowed (hopefully for the last time until April), did laundry, dusted EVERYWHERE, cleaned bathrooms, ran and emptied the dishwasher, vacuumed, and cleaned some baseboards. It feels so good! We have my parents, brother, sis-in-law, and neice coming for Thanksgiving (which happens to only be 2 1/2 weeks away!), so I should only have to touch up a few things before they come. As I was finishing up it was then that I realized that I will be husbandless for the next week. So now I will be husbandless and super bored. :-/ Dane flew out this morning for Nebraska for work. Hopefully he won't get snowed in and stuck there like he did a couple years ago.

A few nights ago we ran to Target for some super glue and ended up in the Halloween clearance section. :-) Tyson is not very happy about this. Meet Sgt. K9...

While I was out taking pictures of Tyson, I noticed how pretty the trees had gotten behind our house, so I took a few pictures of those. I was really hoping all the trees would still be pretty when my family came up for a visit, but every morning when I head to work I notice more and more trees that are losing all their leaves. So sad. :-(

And lastly, I couldn't give Tyson all that blog time without slipping one in of Zoe. She wants dad to play. :-)
