We had such a productive weekend. I wonder if it’s a sign I am getting old that I just so relish the staying home with my family and making my house more “comfy”. I love nesting. Especially when the weather turns cooler.

We did a bunch of things this weekend. The first was cleaning all our downstairs carpets. We bought a Hoover Agility, and it gets rave reviews from us. It did an excellent job on our carpets. What is so nice about it is that it has a power brush attachment for use on stairs with a long “hose” and it comes assembled ready to use.

We (uh.. that’s the proverbial we as in Dear Husband) touched up paint.

I cleared away all the old knick nack type things and put out some of our winter holiday decorations. We played Christmas Music and got rid of a bunch of stuff we no longer need including a couch that was in our kids playroom. Why is it that you feel just as good getting rid of stuff as you do buying stuff? I love the freeing feeling of that.

I also bought all the appetizer things I am having for my Purse party on Monday. This lady is coming and bringing a truckload of knock off purses and I’m having some friends over for wine and appetizers. Should be fun. Especially since I love purse shopping!!

Today was funny, because I was trying out some of the appetizers I picked. I decided I needed to do a test run. The one I like the most is that I took a cookie cutter and cut thin sliced sourdough and pressed it into a mini muffin tin coated in olive oil. Then baked them till crisp. And Im filling them with ceasar salad. My goal is to have all appetizers that dont need a fork.

I also went to Cost Plus and bought wine glasses. I only had like 12. Decided I needed to bite the bullet and have a slew of them. Least they were inexpensive.

My house in Florida lost it’s homeowners insurance. Can you believe it? We didn’t even turn in everything for the hurricane. Finding insurance is difficult for that house because we rent it out. I’m going to be spending a lot of time searching this weekend. Anyone have any relatives in the insurance business in Florida?

I’m working on a digital scrapbooking christmas card. Im wondering if I can create enough of a “year in review” story visually so I dont have to include a letter. Probably not.

I’m on the hunt for a puppy again. The breeder we were going to use has decided to keep the puppy we were hoping to get. So I am back on the trail for a show puppy. I was really disappointed this morning to get her mail.

This week is going to be insanely busy. It will lighten up by Tuesday Night…
