Where Does the Time Go?

Is it just me, or is it that the older I get, the faster time marches on. This week has FLOWN by. New Year's Day seems like a month ago, not a few days ago.

Do you know the saying "the road to hell is paved with good intentions?" Well friends, I think I might be in need of some ice water!!! I had really good intentions of getting a lot of things done this week, but none of them seemed to materialize.

I INTENDED to:
-Clean out my closet and put everything back on my new huggable hangers
-Take down my Christmas Tree
-Do a few loads of laundry (keep in mind I have a two year old and a husband who works outside!)

I DID Manage to:
-Go shopping on New Year's Day - by myself I might add!
-Clean my master bathroom - yes, my husband took a picture of our clean bathroom. He even said "in case you want to blog about it" - the man knows me well!
-Keep Alexandra's room and the common areas of the house clean - ok, so clean might not be the correct word - it's more like "acceptable"

I will say that I had a great day of bargain hunting on New Year's Day. I LOVE after Christmas sales - especially on Christmas decorations. 75 to 80% off gets me really excited.

I love/collect snowman items, and I found this adorable snowman sled for $3 - yes, that's right, $3.


I also bought some really cool wrapping paper. It was 50% off, so I paid $1.50 for it. The cool thing is that it really doesn't look very "Christmasy" to me. It could be valentines, or any other special occassion. It has a very vintage design. Let me know what you think!

I was able to grab a few other bargains that I'm proud of, but you'll just have to wait to see what I bring out for Christmas 2008.

Cheers!
