Dinner With My Sister and Grey's!!

Tonight, I invited my sister over for dinner and to watch Grey's! We made pizza's out of biscuits and salad to go with it...

We watched Flash Forward and Grey's Anatomy. I still haven't decided weather I like Flash Forward or not. It's okay, but I just wonder where they are going with everything. But Grey's Anatomy, was wonderful!! I am way to attached to this show, but it's just so great!! And this weeks episode seemed to go by way to fast!

For dessert, we had cheesecake! For a housewarming gift, Teresa made me a cheesecake and got me a copy of the movie Twilight!!! I was so excited! Here is a picture of the cheesecake! (I should have taken the cover off!) Haha!

In Search of the Perfect Couch!

So... I've been looking for a couch for about a week... and have found nothing.

I've been to the Room Store and T & D Furniture, looking for a couch and love seat. Everything that I look at is either cute and uncomfortable or ugly and feels great! There are a few more places I want to look but I'm running out of options.

This is sort of what I'm looking for... (not necessarily in these colors)

Last night's Jacktown Rundown!

Last night was a meeting for the running club I'm a member of... I was pretty tried last night and really hoping it was going to get rained out, but no such luck. It was poring rain on my way to Fenian's (our meeting place), but by the time I got there it had stopped. I decided to just do the two mile course instead of the four miler. And was I glad I did. Just went we were finishing, the bottom fell out!!

Once the run was over, I was glad it didn't get rained out. I felt like I had actually accomplished something and had earned my dinner.

Here's a picture taken at dinner (I think I look a little funny in this pic, but here it is haha!)

I also completed day two of Insanity! I got up early before work to get it done!! Yea!

Insanity Take 3 and Dinner!!

So, I started Insanity over again for the third time... today was just the fit test. Hopefully I can actually make it through the whole thing this time without interruption.

I got up and did my Insanity video before work, thinking after work I would go couch shopping. While at work, I got a message for a friend inviting me over for dinner and to watch Dancing with the Stars and scrapbooking. I don't watching Dancing with the Stars, but figured dinner with friends would be fun!

So Karen and I met over at our friend Jessica's house for supper. Jessica fixed a real feast! She grilled salmon... it was the biggest piece of salmon I had ever seen! She even made a homemade teriyaki sauce to put on top of it. It was so delicious! Possibly the best salmon I had ever eaten!! She also served baked vegetables and salad. And to top it off she had a tangerine cake for desert! I'm going to have to start practicing my cooking skill if I ever want to come close to preparing a meal that good!

We didn’t get any scrapbooking done but dinner was wonderful and Dancing with the Stars wasn't too bad!

Apartment on Display.... Already!!

SATURDAY!

I woke up around 5:30 a.m. to try and get some last minute things done at my Mom's house. I was getting excited about the move and even more excited that the weather was going to be wonderful!! The moving process started around 8:00 a.m.!  We started at my Gramma's house, getting all the furniture from her house and then moving on to my mom's house to get the rest. Amazingly enough we were done moving all the furniture into my apartment by 10:30 a.m.!!! I couldn't believe it only took 2 1/2 hours! I was thinking it would take until at least 12:00 p.m. but we were done BEFORE lunch!

We all stood around talking until about 11:00 a.m. when half the moving party had to leave to do other things... luckily some of them stayed around and let me take them to lunch. And were did we go... Hooter's! Ha! I thought it was funny taking my Mom to Hooter's (I don't think she will ever go back though).

Everyone left around 2:00 p.m. at which time I said a little cheer! The moving was done and I was finally in a place of my own!!!  I got started setting things up the way that I wanted them... mainly working on the kitchen, laying down shelf liner and watching the State / GA Tech game.

I finally decided to take a break around 4:30 p.m. and make my first Kroger run! It was pretty fun... I got enough groceries to last me a little while and it didn't hurt my bank account too much. Haha!

I came home from Kroger, got everything put away and started back on the setting up process. My goal was to get all the beds made and all the boxes in the room where they would be unpacked. This did not happen... around 10:30 p.m. I was beat and went to bed.

SUNDAY!

My Gramma wanted to come over to see my new apartment (even though I had just moved in the day before). I wanted to make it look good for her, so I woke up around 7:00 a.m. to get started again.  I did everything I could before I needed to meet my Gramma, mom, and sister for lunch and was very excited about the progress I had made!!

I met the family at Raising Cane's and then we heading to my apartment. (Me making a stop at Newk's to get something to serve for dessert)!

They were all very impressed with the progress I had made in just one day and so was I!! Here are a few pictures to show my progress:
