Tacky Dining Room Light

BEFORE

AFTER

I would like to thank the previous owners of my house for leaving me a tacky light fixture in the dining room, because it gave me something to do Sunday whenever I got bored. I am no electrician, so you can imagine my confusion whenever I attempted to take it down from the ceiling...So....I ended up leaving it hanging and lined the floor with newspaper to catch the flying paint particles, and I taped newspaper on the ceiling so that my white ceiling wouldn't turn black. Sounds like a new "you might be a redneck" joke...You might be a redneck if you leave up your chandeleir and spray paint it, instead of taking it down. Isn't it amazing what a can of spray paint can fix??!!

I only have one thing to say....

Hey Texas....
Hey Texas....
We just beat the Hell out of you,
Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer
Give 'Em Hell Alabama!!!

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!

When it Rains it Pours

I tell you, it just seems to be whenever bad news comes our way that it comes in tsunami size waves!! I received our electric bill the other day and to my surprise it was $499.51!! That is a $260.00 increase from the last month! I have called out there too see if they would come to check our meter, incase there is a problem with it, but of course I was told to read my meter everyday at the same time each day and call her back in 5 days and by hearing what kilowatts we use daily she could tell us if there was a problem with it... I guess I was just under the impression that our tax dollars and fees that we pay to this company monthly was to pay our bill, and to service their customers when they need their help, but I guess not, it sounds like it is paying them to just sit on their tails and tick off their customers.

Also, my husband truck is messing up once again, and apparently he needs a new radiator! The estimate was around $450.00 parts, labor, and all...but goodness gracious! I must not have found this money tree that is planted in our backyard. A tax refund couldn't come soon enough:(, but I guess I will just have to wait it out for just a few more months.

On a better note, I am SUPER excited about the National Championship game tonight!! ROLLLLLLLLLLLL TIIIIIIDDDDEEEEEEEEEEE ROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

Did you catch that I am a HUGE Bama fan? :)

My Sweet Angel

Girlfriend's baby shower

Okay I thought at first I was in over my head with this one, but it turned out more successful than I anticipated!! I made the cake for a joint baby shower for two girls that I work with. I have never made a cake before, much less attempted anything like this!! They both were having girls so I used a pink ribbon... It is supposed to look like ducks swimming around in a jacuzzi...

Jingle Bells

I am so excited for the holiday season to be here!! I LOVE the cold weather, smell of christmas trees, taste of egg nog, and warmth of a crackling fire!! I am also excited for my little angel's first Christmas, even though he will only be 3 months old:) Tonight we have our annual work Christmas party where we just go out to eat and enjoy ourselves. This year I was VERY glad to know that we were donating the money, that we would spend buying each other presents, to buy presents for a less fortunate family here in the Pike County area! It feels so much better to do that than for the girls to just exchange gifts and get more candles for the house...
