Gone Campin'

This has been one heck of a week for natural disasters in Virginia. First an earthquake, and now a hurricane is heading our way. Being the foolhardy/stupid/intrepid/brave/hard core* people we are, Chuk and I are going camping and tubing this weekend...in a hurricane. Eh, it always seems to rain when we go camping anyway. Hopefully it won't hit us too badly.

*I'll let you choose which adjective you think is most appropriate in this case.

Are You Freaking Kidding Me: Already Edition

Yesterday, August 24, Costco had a whole aisle of Christmas items out. Already! Tree ornaments, ribbon, wrapping paper, lawn ornaments...EVERYTHING. I hate this type of thing. I am one of those curmudgeons who firmly believe Christmas season starts the day after Thanksgiving and not a moment sooner.

Costco, you know I love you, but this madness has to stop.

Yay!

Linking to Wordless Wednesday.

Organizing Office Supplies

I hate not being able to find things in drawers. I live in a small apartment and I try to make the most of my storage space. A super affordable way to organize office supplies is to use a cutlery tray, from the kitchen section of your favorite mega mart. All the little dividers keep your supplies easy to grab (and easy to put away!) I love keeping my desk clear.

It works for me.

Freebies

Two deals for you:

You can get a free one night DVD rental on 8/25/11 if you "like" their Facebook page before then.

You can get a free customized greeting card from Shutterfly by using the promo code CARD4U.

I'm not associated with either of these companies in any way, I just wanted to pass along some good deals.

Where are you going?

Nearly everytime I leave the room, my husband asks, "Where are you going?" We live in a small small small apartment. There aren't may places I can go.

Just now, after we had finished watching an episode of 30 Rock, I got up off the couch and started walking towards the back of the apartment.

"Where are you going?" It was at least the third time he's asked me today.

"Where am I going every time you ask me that question?"*

"The bathroom," he answered correctly.

"Well, that's where I'm going. If you don't see me pick up my keys and walk out the front door you don't need to know where I'm going. Why do you always ask where I'm going?"

"Because I want to know where you're going."

Sigh. "But you already know where I'm going. You're so silly Chuk."

Then we hugged and then I went to the bathroom.


*I'm going to the bathroom 90% of the time he asks me. The other 10% of the time I'm getting a drink of water. These things tend to work together.

Blerg

As you've probably noticed, I'm having some layout issues. I'm trying to fix them, but I'm not very tech savvy and I'm also getting carpet replaced in half my apertment. Thus, every part of my life is full of chaos right now, so it might take a couple of days. Please hang in there with me.
