Spoiler Alert!!!!

So if any of you have been by to see our house and has received a tour from Justin then you are aware of what he might want for Christmas. He mentions it every time you step foot in the "Man Cave" (the "Man Cave" he never goes in).

Need a hint?????

A projector and screen. He'll start by saying something like "when I get my projector up here........". So I thought I'd try to get him this for Christmas. I researched I know for at least a month. Maybe two. I read about aspect ratios, lumens, grain, viewing angles and lots more that I slips my mind at the moment.

I finally bit the bullet and just bought a screen and a projector. I had it shipped to my parents house. I snuck over there, tested them and wrapped them up. Let me tell you box the screen came in was over 8 feet tall. (good thing we put it 9ft+ ceilings). I decided to hide it in the back closet. (Justin would have known what it was as soon as he saw it). I thought this was a relatively safe place for a short time. After all what could he possibly need from in there?

Fast froward until Sunday, I had the worst headache and decided to take a nap. when I woke up I noticed the back bedroom light was on. I looked at Justin and asked "why is the bedroom light on?" He responded by saying "I was looking for something". I asked where all he had looked and he immediately started grinning. Ugg......I knew he had found it. This happens every year. He figures out his presents EVERY year! What am I going to do with him????

On the bright side, he has been on the Internet researching media room stuff ever since. I guess that means he's siked. Maybe we'll get to watch the championship game up there.....Roll Tide!!!

Blogger Trouble????

Is anyone else having trouble following new blogs????? I have found some new ones I would like to keep on my reading list but they keep disappearing. Any suggestions??

Wanted: Out Door Furniture

I am in need of some outdoor furniture. I understand this is the wrong time of year but I want to know, what kind of money I need to tuck away and where to go as soon as spring hits. I need stuff for the screen room, deck and possibly the front porch. However not only do I need a lot but I need it CHEAP!!! So if you have a great place other than Wal-Mart to receive a deal please let me know.....

Maybe something like this for the screen room.....

And for the deck maybe something like this.......

 And if I have room maybe a couple of these off to the side of the deck....

I have also thought about six of so rocking chairs lined up on the front porch, like cracker barrel. However I have some stuff out there already but it is rusted. I may just cover it with RustOleum, paint it black and throw some new cushions on it...... its the cheaper way to go so I'd say that is what will happen :)

What do y'all think? Any suggestions or patio furniture for sale? lol

Our Stick Family

Notice the change to the Bishop stick family below......

Do you see it? Fishy is no longer with us. This actually happened a while ago. Poor fishy did not survive the construction so well. He apparently thought we moved him to Jonell's house and left him forever. He turned belly side up right before the house was finished and I forgot to even mention it. I'm such a bad fish owner....

So now we have a fish tank, stand and all the accessories but no fish. If anyone is interested it may make a good gift for a child.

What do I want for Christmas????

That is the question. Everyone has asked me this particular question and I am having a hard time deciding what to tell them. I do know that I need new shoes....

Exhibit A.....

I have worn out the heals on most of all my dressy shoes. Strangely enough most all of them are the left shoe. What is up with that??? Maybe I walk with a limp that I am unaware of. If any of you see me in town dragging my left leg along behind me please point it out to me because it is killing my shoes. I would also love some casual wedges.

I do want a rug to go under my coffee table. Not one that is too big, just big enough to show about a foot or two from every side of the table. I like the extra furry ones. Kind of like this....

I like the neutral khakis and simple patterns.

Also I am thinking the idea of a little robot vacuuming my floors sounds wonderful. So maybe a rumba should be added to the list?

I would also love really great long zoom camera but with the price tags those things carry it is on the "want in one hand and you know what in the other" list.

Oh I can't forget the present I REALLY REALLY want............. you guessed it...a baby!!!! (Justin is rolling his eyes as we speak) Oh well maybe for my birthday.... :)
