BUSY weekend

It was a crazy weekend! We put our house on market Thursday night. Friday we had 3 showings, Saturday we had 12, Sunday we had one and we had another one today! Keep your fingers crossed!! All the showings are great but that meant we couldn't be home all that time.

Friday night we already had plans anyway. We went to Salsa, a mexican restaurant for Tom's oldest sister Cathy's birthday. I cheated on my diet and it really wasn't even worth it.  I tried something new...and it wasn't the greatest.

This is Cathy and her husband Jon

Linda and her boyfriend, Hani

Marta and her husband Chris

Laura and her husband Mark

Finally, me and Tom (I HATE this picture of me!)

The siblings

The whole gang

Saturday we had to be out of the house by 9 am! I had my Jenny Craig appointment where I lost 1.8!! Being out of the house didn't help my diet though. We had to eat out every meal. I tried to be a little smarter about it. IHOP actually has a simple and fit menu where I got egg substitues, turkey bacon and pancakes for 400 calories! It was pretty good too.

Sunday we had Tom's mom's birthday party. She is 84! She has had a really tough year. She was diagnosed with a rare disease, Wegener's. She is on lots of steroids so in these pictures her face is a little swollen. I think she still looks great though!

the nephews

Tom and our niece, Fontana (our last name)

Happy Birthday Cathy and Polly!

Show us your life Friday....best cleaning tips!

My husband is going to fall out of his chair laughing when he reads that I am going to give advice on cleaning! Ha! I am NOT a cleaner.

However one thing that I have found that I LOVE is the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser!

These guys SERIOUSLY get up anything. Try them!

I also recommend one of these (patent pending):

My husband does ALL the laundry, the dishes, and usually picks up after my messy self.

Thank you honey for all that you do!!!

Headed over to Kelly's Korner to see if I can learn a thing or two!

Favorite Fridays....Favorite Comedy TV Show

A girl in pearls and a boy with toys is doing favorite friday again with the topic of favorite comedy tv shows. I'm going to take this time to complain. One of my favorites is Ugly Betty.

Laugh if you will, but it's cute! It's not trying to be some serious drama, it's a light hearted fun show to watch. AND THEY CANCELLED IT. Now, Tom couldn't be more excited they cancelled it. He went as far as to say it was the WORST show on television. (He came realllll close to the couch that evening!) :) At least they are finishing out the season. Since they know it's not coming back maybe the writers will do something big...I would love to see Betty and Daniel together!

Oh well, I'll just pretend that is what happens! :)

Have a great weekend!!!

Top Three Thursday...Male Movie Hotties

I don't believe words are needed. (sigh)

You're welcome.

Thoughtless Thursday!!

So the idea of Thoughtless Thursday from

http://lifeinthefulmerlane.blogspot.com/">

is to basically just post a picture/group of pictures with no explaining. Well I'll do VERY LITTLE explaining. These are from our honeymoon....and all I have to say is don't you love the typical one person honeymoon pictures?? :)

Go over and check out the rest at Life in the Fulmer Lane!

Wishful Wednesday...Purses!

'I wish' .... I could afford Louis Vuitton Monogram Galliera bag without putting a dent in my pocketbook!

That being said, I'm really not a designer handbag kinda gal. Don't get me wrong....you give me one and I'm going to LOVE you forever but I really can't make myself buy one. MAYBE when I'm old and rich, right? :)

My purses usually run in the $60-$70 range and some of my favorites have recently come from The Limited!

Searching for this topic, I also found some cute stuff on the web. This is a cute little clutch for a formal event from White House Black Market.

I usually like a colored purse for that extra pop of color (as at work I wear mostly black/browns). I LOVE this red one I found. I have one very similar!

I'm really liking this yellow hobo too!

Wishful Wednesday may be getting my bank account in trouble!!!

Go over The Seattle Smiths and play along!
