Dear Fios guy, (yes...again)

THANK YOU!!!!  You were early, you were nice, you even fixed my jacked-up phone jack.  You, my friend, are my hero.  I havee internet, TV!!!, and phone.  Whoo-hoo!  You rock, Fios guy.  You totally rock.

Sincerely,
melicity and raven (who mostly liked you and only barked because you took so long.)

Well.

That's done.  On to the next piece of business.

My kitchen is done!  I love, love, LOVE it!  My living room is almost done.  I have my bookshelves organized and all I really have left to do is hang some pictures.  My  bedroom is mostly done, too.  I need to hang pictures and a few shelves in there as well as finish bringing all my stuff out of the closet from the old house to over here.  I will work on that tomorrow after I get off of work.  The spare room is not good.  I can't do much in there until I figure out how to "fix" the floor of the shed so it is at least usable for a while.  The bathroom also needs some work.  I have to at least get the bathroom done before my BFF and her family invade come for a nice visit in a few weeks.

Did I mention that the Fios guy rocks and that I love my kitchen??

OMG!

I am a horrible pet mommy today.  Listen, if you will, to what I did to poor miss raven last night:

I turned off the movie I was watching (the 6th one of the day--thank you for saving me Fios guy!) and went to get a shower before going to bed.  miss raven was asleep on her bed, buried under some blankets.  When I finished in the bathroom, I came into the bedroom and finished hanging some things up in my closet and putting my sweaters away in the cabinet.  I got into bed and turned out the light and went to sleep.  Now normally miss raven starts the night off on the floor and sometime during the night jumps up into bed with me.  I woke up about three in the morning and realized that she wasn't in bed with me.  I figured that she was on the floor so I went back to sleep.  When I woke up at six this morning, she still wasn't in bed with me.  That was really strange.  I got up and looked under the blankets on her bed, no miss raven.  I looked under the pillows on the floor, no miss raven.  I came out into the living room and found her under the blanket on the couch.  She looked up at me with her big brown eyes as if to say "What did I do wrong last night that you wouldn't let me in the room with you?"  She looked so sad it about broke my heart!  I sat down on the couch and loved all over her and told her how sorry I was.  I felt really bad. :(  I have been very attentive to her this afternoon to kind of make up for what happened.

Wow!  Long and kind of random post.  You missed me, I know. ;)

BTW--The two winners of my giveaway have yet to contact me to tell me what they would like as their prize.  Hint, hint. :)

The post that has no witty title...

I made a huge, grown-up decision this week.  I don't regret it at all and I know in my heart that I made the right decision.  I am so happy about it but at the same time I am sad because the decision that I made is causing someone to be unhappy and worried and scared.  I hate that because I hate to make anyone upset.

Because the decision isn't 100% final, I am not going to blog about it...yet.  I'm sorry to be such a tease; I don't mean to be.  I just don't want to "jinx" anything. :)  I promise, as soon as I can tell you about it, I will shout it to the bloggy world!

On a happier note....I am happy to announce the winner of my rather pathetic one year blogaversary giveaway!  Since there were only TWO comments (yes, two.  How sadly PATHETIC is that?!?!) I have decided to choose BOTH commentors as the winners!  Please contact me and let me know if you would like either the shawl (in your choice of colors) OR a hat and scarf set (also in your choice of colors.  Also, please include your head circumference so that I can make the hat the correct size.)  Congratulations!!! :)

Tomorrow is FRIDAY!  HAPPY FRIDAY!!!! :)

It's my bloggy and I'll post if I want to....

It's my one year blog anniversary!!!!  One year in the blogging world.  A whole year and 11 9 followers.  But we won't talk about that right now.
I must say,  this whole blogging thing has been quite interesting.  I love being able to "write" out my thoughts, even when they are random and/or disorganized.  It is really cathartic, for me anyway.

Oh!  Did you notice??  I FINALLY found the "strikethrough" button!!!  Yes!  I feel like I have taken a huge step into the blog world! ;)

Anyway--in honor of my one year blogaversary and in (hopeful) honor of the good news I will (hopefully) get later on this week or the beginning of next week, I am venturing in to the wide world of the giveaway!!!!

One lucky reader will get to choose either a handmade shawl, much like this one:

OR

a handmade hat/scarf set either for themselves or a family member.  Either will be in your choice of colors. :)

All you have to do is leave a comment on my comments page.  One comment is all it takes to be entered.  Seeing as how generally only 4 of you comment, you have a pretty good chance at winning!  I will chose a winner (randomly) on Thursday.  If it seems like I am using this contest as a shameless way to collect comments, well, you're right.  I confess. :)

Hmmmmmmm.....maybe I'll have some chocolate to celebrate this momentous occasion........

;)
