May 8th, 2009 pt 2

Today was a pretty nice day. John was home and we ended up going to Target to get some more curtains and curtain rods for the game room. I realized only after the air was FINALLY turned on, that there are no vents in there! Which blows my mind since it has huge vaulted ceilings, and five windows. It gets a little warm in there, even with the air finally on.

I had to practically beg just to get them our yesterday to turn it on. They were stuck on the east side on a job and weren't sure if they would make it here or not. Thankfully they showed up right before 3pm and got everything taken care of. While it's far from being central air, it works okay for now. But he told me that in July and August, it probably won't seem like it is working well-but that is just how these systems work. I actually got to use a blanket last night when I went to bed! It's amazing the little things we take forgranted haha.

Chance had karate yesterday as well. I was really really bothered by how much the other parents seem to completely disregard the fact that the children are IN CLASS. The waiting area is so loud! I am straining to hear what the instructors are telling the kids and as it is-they are yelling as loudly as it is already. It has to be a distraction to the kids. I am hoping to bring it up to the instructors somehow and hopefully they can do something to calm the madness in the waiting area so the kids can concentrate and the parents who are actually there to WATCH, rather than join in social hour.....can do so.

John's working on putting together the Bowflex. I had gone upstairs to read my book and ended up falling asleep. Came back down a couple hours later and he had started on it. So far, so good he says. Just looking in the book at all the exercises you can do was enough to make me tired.

I was looking the other week for some new shampoo and conditioner since my hair and I have NOT been getting along lately. I was looking for something organic but I ended up getting these:



I am late coming into the Burts Bees products. I have some lip products from them but that's about it. However, the shampoo and conditioner is enough to make me a loyal customer! I looooove this stuff. It's not organic, but they don't use any sulfates and they put that informative little ribbon on every product stating how much of the product is made up of natural ingredients. I liked the shampoo and conditioner so much so, that I picked up a deep conditioner today at Target along with a facial cleanser. Target seemed to have a pretty wide selection of their products. I'm already window shopping on their website to see what my next BB purchases will be. I'm thinking they will replace my bath and body works addiction. Annnnnnnd another reason to buy these awesome products-they are made in North Carolina. I wish they made make up. I've been using the physicians formula stuff, but it seems like it's either way too dark, or way too light and no in between. The little things that excite me these days.

Anyways, I guess that's about it for now. It seems like there was more I wanted to post about but I'm drawing blank.
