Two for One

I hope everyone had a wonderful week and that everyone has an even better weekend planned ahead! I will be working in the yard, planning for next week and of course, still hunting for a job. I am ready to get back in the swing of things (mostly because the health insurance things sucks without a job–why does it have to be so expensive?).
I looked at the calendar and realized that we are on the 24th . . . wait, what? I could have sworn we were still stuck on the 17th? Leave it to me to have no real direction right now and to get lost in the maze of life. I am going to need to start filling up my time with projects. Hey Mom? can we start cleaning again but in smaller doses?! 🙂
So I have decided to share with you the music from last week based on all of the concerts I have seen this week and will see by the end of next week. You might want to start with number 4, 5 and then round back to number 1.It depends on how you want to end your music excursion.
4.  9 Electric
5. Orgy  
For my next round of places that I have been; I have decided to share with you places that I have been going in my dreams lately. I obviously have a theme here. 🙂

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Spring Cleaning

I am going to stop making excuses for myself and my life which means, I am not going to apologize for the tardiness of this post . . .
(But secretly . . . I am being held hostage in my house. I have been kidnapped and turned into a cleaning slave by my mother . . . someone please rescue me) 🙂
So on to the post . . . I guess it would behoove me to post about cleaning tactics.
1. First and foremost; don’t wait a number of years to clean your carpet. Something will always be getting it dirty so just except the fact that you will see your carpet cleaning company on a yearly basis and budget it in. We just used this company and they did a FANTASTIC job!
2. Guess what happens to your house as the year progresses; it gets dusty in all of the places that you don’t readily see. Move the furniture and wash the walls. You will have less allergy related problems if you do! 🙂
3. We found this article to clean the soap scum in the bathroom and it worked so well!
4. We got this vacuum to help us clean the stairs but it has been wonderful and we have clean base boards, and curtains!
5. I don’t wear gloves when I clean and I probably should but this hand cream has been saving my hands from being ultimate nightmares.
Enjoy your spring cleaning everyone!!

Hello Spring!

Although I did have snow at my house yesterday it has melted and the sky is blue and the birds are chirping. I guess we can say that spring has sprung.
Today I have been working on a weekend menu but instead of nailing things down so I can get to the grocery store; I have decided to peruse the internet in between my painting assignment. I am helping my parents paint their bedroom which is fine but I am the one that gets to do all of the floor work or intricate touch-up work. (I actually have rug burns on my knees and legs). Love you too mom!!
So I am going to keep this simple since I have to leave in about 30 minutes and drive two hours away and won’t be home until after midnight. Here is some of my favorite things for this Easter weekend and by the way . . .
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!
1. This is a sandwich that I really want to try this weekend. For some reason it just screams spring to me. You can find it on skinnytaste.com 
2. If I decide to make anything traditional this weekend (probably won’t since we had Easter dinner last weekend while everyone was in town), I think I would have to serve the meat on this.
3. I promised my father that I would make him some sort of lemon dessert and since I am not his English grandmother I can’t fully promise a lemon tart but here are the two choices in the running.
 4. I might put up a bunny picture or two just because.
5. Last but not least; a new dress might be in order. Aren’t we always suppose to get a new Easter dress?! 🙂

I am going to make it by the “hair of my chinny-chin-chin” and hopefully have a few minutes to spare before crossing over into Saturday. My first week being back home for real and it is good but I am still looking for a new job. Wish me luck this week!
We have made it to the last Friday of the month and it is all about the music tonight. In honor of hanging out in the Pacific Northwest for the past two weeks; this post is a tribute to my favorite alternative bands. Enjoy!
1. We have to pay our respects to the band that put alternative on the map . . . Nirvana
2. I grew up in Southern California so of course I love the Red Hot Chili Peppers
3. I am a huge fan of Radiohead
4. You can’t leave out The White Stripes
5. And finally, I really love The Black Keys
I could actually go on for days on all of the bands that I love within this genre but I am staring at the clock and I only have 10 minutes before midnight. I don’t want to cut it too close!!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!
