TAGGED!

I was checking SWEET Kim's blog this morning, and I found myself TAGGED! This is a pretty cool photographic tag: 'photographic evidence of places in my home right now'. Since I found it this morning, I took pix in the morning. Should've waited until night, so that it would be a little bit cleaner, but anyways...

This is Brians' Office. It's really a loft on the second floor. The kids have their table and chairs there, and their keyboard... not too bad!
This is the living room. In the mornings, Connor wakes up around five, so Brian or I take him downstairs and get him cereal, and we watch the choo-choo train (Thomas). The baskets contain our mini scrapbooks. The long cable is for the antenna of my xm radio (mother's day present from Brian and the kids!). The other cables on the floor are Brian's Playstation 3 thingies... The beautiful baby boy is ALL MINE!!!


This is our bedroom, just how I found it today at 6:30, when I went to take pix of my bathroom and closet... we love to jump on the bed and yell "wake up, you sleepy bone-head!" when daddy is in bed. If I am the one in bed, though, NOBODY dares. They are just too smart to do that!
This is our closet. The messier side of the folded clothes is BRIAN'S. I simply gave up.
Our vanity area (is that my BRA on top of the laundry basket???) This is embarrasing!

This is our bathroom. On the floor you can see the kids toys. Funny enough, they have their own bathroom, but they ALWAYS have to take their baths here. Except for Cesar, of course!
This is my ROOM! My scraproom! Not too messy, I think! I was just making room for the newest challenge on Kim's blog! :)
Now, this is the kitchen. I'm kind of glad that I took the picture from FAR AWAY, because the kitchen was a disaster zone this morning. This is Cesar's idea of cleanning the kitchen... my mom would not be happy looking at this picture! (SORRY MOM!)
And this is our fridge. I have an organizing kind of obsession, though. I saw the mess that this was, and I could not resist it. I started organizing the fridge immediately. The problem is when that happens at Walmart...
This is my ideal holiday... Tulum, Mexico (pretty close to Cancun). I SO NEED to go to a Mexican beach!!!

My camera's battery died, so I couldn't take a pic of my feet, which were BARE and un-pedicured, so you can really be grateful for that...
Ok, enough for now. Brian already has enough material for my insanity hearing, I don't need to publicly admit to my OCD...

I tag Susan, Nina and Kim - Scrap to my Lu. And if you want to play, just let me know! Lots of hugs!

Paula, thanks for taking us through your house. I wouldn't dare take pics of my rooms right now. You'd all have the place condemned! Maybe after the weekend when I've had the chance to finally clean after the last of the school activities are done!

oaky, i'll play along...though, it will have to wait until i clean...it's a total disaster=0)

i didn't realize that you had post because you had changed your blog title from "*"...so it showed up "absoulutely me" on bloglines and i'm thinking-WHO IS THAT?

what color is your kitchen? ours is terra cotta-looks similar in the pic.

have a good one!

Still ALIVE...

... but swamped with fabrics and paint. It's kind of funny, I ordered some fabric online from Joann, and then when it arrived, I really didn't like it. See, I'm making new curtains for the back door (it's one of those sliding doors and we used to have blinds there), new pillow covers (because we got new slipcovers for the couches) and I'm re-upholstering the dinning room chairs. And so, I ordered different fabrics that I thought would match. Very orangy-yellowish, those are the colors we chose for staging the house. Anyways, when I saw the fabric, I was very tempted to return it, but instead, I started the first chair today... And I think it looks AWESOME!!! I just finished cutting all the fabric for the back of the chairs, tomorrow I'll be busy sewing. Can't wait to see the first one finished. I'm actually getting EXCITED! Bought a couple of lamp shades, too, and I'm almost done painting the tables black (coffee and end tables). Of course, the kids ...

Happy birthday, USA!!!

We will be having a totally lazy 4 th of July. Brian just came back from his trip last night, and I think he must be needing a lot of rest. He's loving his new job, but since he really is very good at "fixing" accounts, every time he fixes one and he's starting to enjoy the fruits of his work, another one gets "broken", so he has to go in and fix that one as well. It's nice that he gets such a good reputation in his industry, and it's great that he gets to know so many new people, because it's always good to have such a network of contacts, but it's really exhausting. Anyways, a few days ago I went to buy a watermelon, because we all are fans (big time!). We come home, our mouths watering, and we open it to this... WHAT??? Cesar was brave enough to try it, but I just cannot bring myself to eat some yellow watermelon flesh. It does taste the same, but I just couldn't have more than a bite or two. I'll have to give it a try again toda...

A few weeks ago, after work, I heard Brian scolding Cesar. (If you don't know it, Brian and I work from home, so my office is just a few steps from the kitchen, so i can hear pretty well) He was starting to sound VERY unhappy, especially because Cesar wouldn't own up to his mistake. OUCH! So, here I come into the kitchen and start listening in: BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Are you hording them? Did you hide them?" CESAR: "Brian, I didn't take them, really" BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Coco and Connor can't reach them. Mom wouldn't take them, and they did NOT grow legs". ME: "What are you guys talking about?" BRIAN: "It's just that we had the gumballs' container almost to the middle this morning, and now, there's barely one layer of them. The only one who could have done it is Cesar, and he won't even tell the truth!" ME: "Eh... mmmhhhh ... did we have t...
