Project One

If you are at all like me and my hubby you like your home.

You have enjoyed a few DIY projects and most of all you just enjoy making your house a home.

Also, if you are like us, your room is on the very bottom of the todo list, where it stays no matter how many new todos are put on the list.

Well this year I have decided that is going to change. I'm starting my own Project 12 where each month I'm going to tweak and update our early newlywed not so newly room.

This month we started with paint I started here if you want to read about it. And this is how it ended up.

The thing about computers is you may really not see the same color I do. Let me give you a few quick facts. This color is called French Rivera and is an Olympic paint. I guess it is a dark teal. The rest of our room is a light gray and together they look awesome. It was just the shot of color that our room needed.

What my hubby doesn't know is I have an actual color pallet in mind. But I know him and I know if I show him the pallet he is going to freak.

He will probably even try to tell me no.

Then we will go back and forth for months and in the end we will use my pallet. And... He will love it!

See we have been married long enough I'm just cutting out the fight.

But I'm all about sharing so I will give you a peak at the colors I have in mind.

I also came across this on the Olympic site and was very excited.

























I know you're wondering how I am going to pull this off but don't fret I have skills.


Happy Wendensday Y'all

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Biking 45 Miles!

Tomorrow or Today depending on which day you read this post I will be riding my bike 45 miles. Registering for the ride has made this journey to ride my bike 100 miles very real.  Since tomorrow will probably be one of my last rides indoors I have decided to Twit about it. I'm not quite sure how my body is going to react to 45 miles and almost 3 hours on a bike. I'm pretty sure my head is going to be yelling bad words at me, at best. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of, this is crazy, what are you doing to yourself.  By Twitting about it I am going to feel a whole lot more accountable to get the ride done. Especially, if I feel there is any chance that people are logging on to see where I'm at and how it is going. If your feeling inclined I should be on the bike by 1pm Mountain time Friday the 27th. Check it out and make sure I survive!

What not to Wear, Swimsuit Addition

Working at a swimming pool a strange thing starts to happen to you. You become less aware of the fact that you are wearing a swim suit. You become less aware that people around you are wearing swimsuits. Really in most instances you don't even notice the swimsuits. Which is ironic sense most people are so uncomfortable in what a swim suit discloses about their bodies. However, the truth is not that many people have fantastic bodies. It is an exception to the rule for a swim suit model to walk into the pool. Most people who come to the pool are everyday people with everyday bodies. That being said there are things us pool workers do notice. Things that I feel as your friend I must share. Things that have left young men scarred and us older ladies just plain grossed out. So here it is my first what not to wear swim suit addition. Rule Number One. Wear a swimsuit that fits. I see more women do harm to their figure wearing a suit that is two, three, four sizes to small then...
