All the Small Things...

There a bunch of little things I've been wanting to write about that, individually, wouldn't make up a full post, but put together, would make a happy little list :)

1. Scrapbooks, Scrapbooks, Scrapbooks (the ones made digitally):  There have been some awesome deals online for my favorite scrapbook sites, some all the way down to free scrabooks, just pay shipping! Now, how could a coupon clipping, money saving diva pass up deals like that on, of all things, scrapbooks!!! So, I think in total, in the past two to three weeks, I have made six scrapbooks.  Wow.  Now I just have to sit back and wait for the UPS man to bring them to me.  Totally Awesome.  Now I just have to get back into the groove to doing real  scrapbooks.  They are more meaningful to me since I make them with my own hands and take hours upon hours to complete.

2. Houses do no clean themselves:  Did you know that?  It is waaay overdue for a, um, winter cleaning in the house.  Since ringing in 2011, we haven't "deep cleaned" the house.  I've tried to make the dogs to it, but since they don't listen to me in the first place, and don't have thumbs (haha?), they won't do it either.  So, this weekend, we are cleaning the house,which brings me to...

3. The Christmas Tree Must Come Down: Sad, but true.  It will February soon, and it looks out of place.  There are no more presents under the tree.  Ty keeps eating the glass balls, and Zeke keeps wacking stuff off the tree with his huge tail.  For all of these reasons, I am sad to announce, the Christmas season is over in the Miller household.

4. Groupons, Eversave, and Living Social: are fabulous sites to save money on cool stuff.  If haven't checked them out, do so (each word has a link to their associated website, just so you know).  But beware, they are addictive.  And the cool thing is, there are more of these types of webites coming out....Moolala, kgbDeals, and TaDa ...   You need to check them out!

5. It Feels Great Going Back to Work!!!  Having a routine is essential for me.  That, of course, includes, my work.  I missed my co-workers dearly, all five of them =D.  I live  for routines.  Waking up at the same time (well, sorta), watching SVU with my sweetie every morning, and of course missing traffic by coming in early.  In by 7, out at 4.  Call friends and family on the way home (yes, handsfree, of course).  Come home to a wonderful husband and two rambunxious dogs who are just so happy to see me.  Yes, the cold and lingering headache got in the way a little of my routines, but I am happy to be back. 

6. Going back to Church felt GREAT:  We missed a few weeks of church, obviously, and I missed it.  We tried listening to the sermon live onine, but it's just not the same with dogs in your face, in your pajamas, not feeling well.  I am beginning to feel more comfortable at SPEP.  It was wonderful to see our friends Jen and Jeff, and to see that her recovery is doing so well.  God is really working in her life. I can see it ~ It's Amazing.

I think a list of six is good enough for now.  I'll be posting again soon though, don't worry.
