Organization Mania!

Happy 4th of July! 

Not much happening here since Pat is at work (6-6 shift in the ER and a storm is rolling through).  So...I spent the day doing homework, cooking, and organzing like a mad woman!  I've been playing around on Pinterest far too much.  So much that I've started trying recipes, making DIY things, and reading up on getting organized and budgeting.  Crazy, right?   Here's some of my attempts at DIY ideas...

I created a binder customized from home organization binders I saw on Pinterest.  So far it's really keeping me organized, but feeling completely overwhelmed.  I'm trying to create two other smaller binders for warrenties and manuals and then another for bills.  We really need to buckle down on our spending and hopefully this binder will help!  There's too much coming up in our immediate future for us to do anything else. 

For now I'm getting rid of old magazines that the horder in me refuses to let go.  (So I'll take them to school instead)  :)

Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July, Everyone!  

Pat and I have had a great weekend so far spending time with Jeff & Ali, our friends from Gainesville.  They came down Saturday morning and we made our way to the Pas-a-Grille Beach in St. Petersburg.  It was a gorgeous day out and the beach wasn't over crowded.  I certainly waited too long to put any sunscreen on and am currently paying for it.  We came home, ordered some yummy pizza, and watched the UFC fight before crashing.  Sunday we headed to Channelside to grab lunch at by far the most interesting restaurant I've ever been to called Stumpf's.  It was a mix of horribly corny music, 70's inspired decor, and some type of pirate ship theme.  Then we headed over to one of the coolest places down there called Wet Willies which is basically an alcohol infused slushie station.  Pat and I split the most delicious Bahama Mama slushie.  Late last night, Pat and I were able to just lay on the couch and watch a movie...something we don't get to do too often anymore.  As for today, the actual 4th...we don't have any plans.  Pat is busy studying and I suppose I should find some work to do as well while I cuddle up with Brutus.  Looking forward to next weekend when we can get a little more beach and a little more time alone to ourselves for our anniversary weekend!
