Yuck, its humid.

Grab a hat or umbrella if you go out today in VA!

It's February, almost March but today feels sticky and humid. Like after a thunderstorm in late spring. You know where the sun comes out blazing like crazy after a huge downpour.

I like the rain. But hate humidity. And it shouldn't be 70 degrees in February. Not even in late February. Im jus sayin..............

Yard Sale = Living Hell


Every couple of years, I decide to have a yard sale.

And every couple of years after the yard sale, I swear I will never have another one.

Its a painstaking process!

The toys. Four children equal ungodly amounts of toys.

Four children of four completely different age levels mean four huge piles of different assorted toys that I must clean, separate and price accordingly.

The dust alone in Jonathan's room (my 15 year old) was enough to kill me.

It took me 3 hours to do a thorough cleaning of Tate (my 8 year old) and Justin's (age 13) room.

Its almost 11 o'clock and I haven't made my way into Ashton's room (my 6 year old daughter....I am afraid too).

If I step on another Star Wars figurine I think I will have a nervous breakdown.

I am already convinced that I am going to be seeing Beanie Babies, Lego's and Darth Vader in my dreams tonight.

If I wasn't so OCD maybe a yard sale would be fun....but the perfectionist in me...the one who must clean every item, ziploc bagging, pricing, folding clothes in a way that would make a GAP employee envious will not allow this to be an enjoyable effort.

Oh well, here's to my last one! Yeah right! Wish me luck!

Totally ready for College Football to get here!

Ok, so I am self professed girly-girl. And I'm totally ok with that.

I love pretty, frilly things that glitter and have been known to be a bit of a priss.....

HOWEVER I am a hard core college football/basketball fan and I am counting down the days to GAME DAY. Trust me, I can proudly hold my own with just about any fan from any school, any conference! ;)

It's been unbearably hot for April this past weekend (upper 80's) and this warm weather only makes me long even more for football season to begin!

For the record I am a HUGE DUKE fan (yes, even football) and because of my hubby's roots since 2000 I have also become a HUGE WVU fan too.

Its not easy being a DUKE football fan-----you get a lot of jeers thrown your way but I am excited about the direction our new Coach (Coach Cutcliffe took over last year) has the Blue Devils going.

And WVU has stuck in there even without former Coach Rich Rod who ran away in December 2007.

So this warm weather has me missing, wanting, even needing college football to hurry and begin!
