# 35 & #87 Complete

This past weekend were super busy for Tim and I. Tim worked most of the weekend trying to provide some extra dough for our trip to St. Louis! Per a request from my Mother in Law, Norma, we scheduled a fun evening with the group (Rena, Steve, Mike (FIL), Norma (MIL) and Tim and I) at Toby's Dinner theater in Columbia, MD. The play featured "Little Shops of Horrors" and because of where our table was places, both Mike and I were part of the show. I became plant food for Audrey II. It was a fun filled evening, with lots of laugh, and some yummy ice cream!

Later on in the weekend (Sunday) Tim and I visited my unlce and my mother. My uncle invited us out to his house, where we enjoyed steamed crabs, some yummy food and jet skis. Tim and my uncle spend about an hour on the water, while my mother and I caughted up. It was a nice weekend! We returned home on Sunday evening completely exhausted from the weekend travels.

# 5 Buy Curtains for Spare Bedrooms- Complete 7/25/07

So after being in our townhouse for a year now, we have finally gotten the curtains for the other two bedrooms. We purchased the curtains (one white- for the small room) and (rust- the other spare room) from JcPenny's. Tim worked really hard last night while I entertained the dog. Yup, Josie decided to destroy one of the many stuffed animals that we have left. Within 5 minutes the little pink dinosaur has been destuffed and turned inside out. Yummy, a mess! I may try and post pictures later!

Here are the rooms with the new curtains. The small spare bedroom has another addition as well. A new comforter set. I love Ty Pennington! He rocks!

#70 Send Baby new gift- Complete

Okay so I didn't really send the baby a new gift, but I did give two gifts away. First gift was for Treith C. Mr. Treith is four months old and we were so happy to finally meet the little man. Tim, Rachel, Treith and I all meet up at starbucks for his first outing with the Shylanski's. Tim took to Treith very well. After purchasing our drinks we headed to my aunt's house in Severn, MD, for some pictures and gift time. We were very happy that we got to spend some quality time with both mom and son.

On Saturday, July 14 we presented our gift to a sleeping Carly, she on the other hand was to worn out from a day of partying. From being dressed up in her little yellow dress to playing with her grandfather. We didn't really get a picture of Mom opening up the gift, but the gift entailed two little onesies and two adorable skirt/shorts.

And by the end of the day of visiting with all the babies, I kind of now have a the baby itch going on. Hehe!

#81-Closing Checking Account!

I am really late on this one, but back on June 27th I finally closed my credit union account. After 7 months of no activity in the account I finally did. I really hated to even stepping foot inside the credit union. Everytime I go in there to change my name or close out the direct deposit, I seemed to get an ear full of crap. So on Wednesday I finally decided enough is enough. I stood my ground and closed it. For one the account not easily accessible. There are no location in my neck of the woods and I dont like doing cash back at a "Target or Walmart" like the employees suggested I do at the Credit Union. I finally took my money and ran!

# 30- Completed!

I can't beleive that I actually did someone on the list without having to think about it. On Sunday Tim and I were cleaning up the house after another long weekend of entertaining friends. The house was smelling like crabs and I personally wanted to just sleep all day, but I decided the housework needed to be done. So while Tim cleaning off the sofa's of the horrible "JOSIE HAIR", I decided to clean the bookshelves and just throw away all of mine and Tim's college textbooks. Okay so probably 4 years ago I would of keep them, but seriously what was the point? They were just taking up space? Not because I thought I was going to look at them again. NO NEVER! So they went out yesterday with the trash.

#28-Visit Havre De Grace

On July 3rd Tim and I went up to Havre De Grace to watch the fireworks with some friends. We arrived around 8 to find no parking. Most of the neighborhoods had no parking signs posted everywhere. By chance we came across this community/health center. We parked there along with 20 other cars. We figured if we get towed, they would all get towed as well. We ventured down to the waterfront to find a very lame traveling cranival set up. We seriously got wiped off by these people. But they were making the money. For 30 tickets it cost us $27.00. All four of us rode two rides each. Most the rides cost between $3.00 and $4.00 dollars. Tim and I rode on the bummer cars. I believe that this older man was just aiming for my car the entire time. Seriously I was wearing a low cut shirt and I swear he was trying to take a peek. After the rides we found our yellow blanket and settled in for some fireworks. For a small town Harve De Grace put on a nice show. After the fireworks we vowed to return to the area for a nice dinner by the water.

#23- Get Professional Masage and Facial-Completed

Last Saturday (June 30, 2007) my aunt and I enjoyed ourselves at The Spa on the Avenue. We were both look forwarded to our morning at the spa. This was our frist time at this spa. Back oh about 5 years ago, while visiting family in South Carolina, my Cousin Sandy took my aunt and I to the school of massage in Greenville, SC. We enjoyed our $25.00 massages there. A few years ago I gave Linda a gift card for a day spa in Columbia. On Valentine's day this year, my lovely husband gave me a gift card for the Spa at the Avenue. I decided for my aun't birthday that I would get her a gift card. I really wanted to experience the spa with someone. We both had a great massage. I was a little pissed off about my facial. I explained to the girl that I had roseaca, yes a nicely skin condition that makes your face look blotchy and red. The girl taking care of me keep trying to tell me that I didn't have roseaca. "UMM yes I do". Finished result, I left the spa with a red face!
But all in all, Linda and I had a wonderful time being pampered. (Now If I could only figure out how to get my husband to go to spa!! Ladies would you like to give me some advice?)

Completed #11-Buy new Jane Green Book

I am not completely sure why I am even buying new books, because if you know me, you seen my house. You seen the bookshelf filled with so many books. I should consider becoming a librarian. I seriously spend either to much time reading or in the library. Maybe that will be my next career move!

#10- Finish reading "Shopaholic and Baby".

On June 28, 2007 I finally finished reading "Shopaholic and Baby". I will say that this book is probably the best read so far out of all of the Shopaholic Series. Thanks to Jen Mook to getting me hooked on Sophie Kinsella. Onto my next read! I just started reading "Second Chances" by Jane Green.
