The Musings of the Absolutely Fabulous Ms. N.

I am in an organizing frenzy at home (ask Mr. K how we spent the weekend going thru most of the stuff in our basement). I have been thinking of different ways to organize our house. We have a small house and lots of stuff. I came across this really cool site that has given me more fuel!

So the Philly Soul Parade consisted of 10 cop cars, 3 Saturn convertibles, the team, Pierre Robert and Ron Jaworski. The whole thing lasted 10 minutes. I went back to work totally dissatisfied. It this were the Eagles (like that would ever happen) people would be hanging off the rafters on Market St. Maybe the mostly white crowd wasn't too keen on celebrating too hard. Who knows.

I am sitting here with Mr. K trying to understand anyone would watch arena football. This game sucks. They play on a field about the size of my backyard (ok not really but you get the idea). The Philly Soul almost lost the game in the last 20 seconds of the game. The last three plays of the game involved the quarterback throwing the football into the stands to waste time. Do they even use a real sized football or a mini nerf sized one? I can't believe I just sat through that. I can't wait for REAL football to start.


GO RAVENS!

That's right. I'm BACK! And better than ever! Married and everything. I got a lot of worried readers out there that were like "When are you going to start posting again"? and "I miss your posts". Well fret no more.

There is lots to catch up on and in the coming weeks I'll do my best to do it all. Right now I want to post an an awesome site for all you cooks out there...

A Year of Crockpot Cooking

This chica is cooking in her crockpot everyday. She's got some great recipes. I just got a fabulous crockpot as a wedding gift and I can't wait to break it out. Maybe this will give me some motivation.

I cant believe that its been over a month since I last posted. So much has gone on. My office moved and we are so busy. Things at home are also gearing up. I am just about ready to start clearing a place for my veggie garden. Mr. K, little Mr. K and I went to the Home Despot yesterday afternoon to look for some stuff for the veggie patch. I can't wait to get outside I guess I have cabin fever.

More later.

Where do I start? My office is moving to a new location and I have been tagged at the moving coordinator. So I have been dealing with movers, upper management and my own staff to try to make this move as seamless as possible. Tomorrow the movers are showing up (hopefully on time) so this time tomorrow I will be at a new desk.

This weekend is our annual SuperBowl party. We have a few friends coming over and some of my cousins are coming down from the city. SO I have lots of cleaning and preparing to do. Now that we actually have a dining room set I can lay everything out nice and pretty :)

That's all for now.

GO GIANTS!

Most mornings I am a mess. I am still so groggy from sleep that I usually cant decide what I am going to wear to work. And what I want to wear to work is usually too wrinkled or dirty. Because I am in a time crunch what I have started doing is scheduling a week's worth of outfits. No, I don't have OCD (at least I don't think I do). So far I have done this for two weeks and it has worked really well. During Michael's (craft store) after Xmas sale I picked up some nifty weekly calendars that have magnetic backs. I have one on our fridge that tells everyone what the week's meals are and I use one for my outfit planning. I have two casual days so I can wear jeans and then I plan three work-appropriate outfits. That seemed more manageable for me. The Sunday before the workweek I pick out my clothing, iron and put in a stack in my closet so I can easily fish it out. The planning ahead also gives me a chance to see exactly what I own and cycle thru stuff.
