I tend to be a bit OCD. Ok, I tend to be a lot OCD. :) But today I actually satisfied an obsession. I started another one as well, but I did fulfill one. Some of you were the recipients of my New Years Keychain gift. It wasn't anything big. It's just a keychain with an opening for pictures on both sides. It's rectangular and silver... a nice size...not too big or too small. I thought it was a great way to recycle Christmas cards that come with pictures. So I get to enjoy the card and then send some of it back with family members pictures in it in the keychain. It's also nice for a dreary January after the holidays are over.
Well, I buy the keychains at Walmart for only $2. Can't go wrong with that! However, in the last little while all I could find were heart ones which I'm sure are just as great quality, but it's a bit harder to fit pictures into a heart keychain instead of a rectangular one. So every time I go to Walmart I look for the rectangular one. Two of the three Walmarts near me carry the heart ones and only one carries the rectangular one. So I've been on the hunt for a while. Today I found TEN of the rectangular ones and I bought them out! I already had a few (3-4) and a few heart ones, too. So I'm set for next year. :) Of course, that's if I don't go buy more. Not that I need anymore, but at least it's a cheap obsession. :)
The other obsession is that I found a GREAT sundress at Walmart today. I came home and tried it on and it's really cute! I think I'm going to buy it in more than one color. The price was right too and I think it will wash and wear well. I may try on a size smaller since this one may be a bit too big. We'll see. I see a trip there tomorrow as well.
So I'm going to start freezer cooking tomorrow. I only have one homemade meal in the freezer right now and it's a great lentil soup. But I like to keep more on hand for those quick days where I just hate to cook or we've been out all day. Since I have a little room in the freezer right now, it seems like a good time. I think my first meal is going to be a three bean casserole. Matt loves it and it freezes well, so that will be on the list. I'm also thinking enchiladas since I haven't made those in forever. I need to start making a grocery list for this stuff.
I'm so excited that Dancing with the Stars is back on! Yeah! I've been wanting something to watch again.
My china came today! Yep! I now have 8 five inch fruit bowls, 8 eight inch vegetable bowls and a covered serving bowl. It took forever, but seemed to appear overnight! We ordered it a while ago when Boston Store had 50% off their Noritake china and we didn't hear anything forever which wasn't a big deal. But all of a sudden mom heard something from them and then it seemed to get here overnight! It was still expensive, but still less than it would have been regular, that's for sure. I officially call my set DONE. I have eight place settings now including the bowls, sugar, creamer, coffee pot, gravy bowl, salt/pepper, covered dish, two or three other serving dishes, hostess tray and a serving platter. WHEW! And to think, I'm not even obsessed with my china! :)
Alrighty, things to do before the little one gets up!
