Get some stuff done

Got my braces adjusted today.  It's not been too bad with them so far today.  After getting the braces done I went shopping.  It was a good trip...no junk food and got my natural cleaning prouducts I like to use.   I also got stuff to cook a couple of meals here.  We have been eating out way too much.  I also paid a bill while I was out.

I have been doing some house cleaning since getting home.  I ran the vacuum through the house.  And have been working on laundry all day since I got more laundry detergent.  I love the smell of the Full Circle brand I get....nice natural scents...the detergent is chamomile & ylang and the fabric softern is lavendar.  It cleans really well too so that is great.

One thing I really want to happen in the next couple of years is to get a bigger house that belongs to us.  I rent from a nice lady but I really do want to own my own place.  I would prefer a house that isn't super close to all the others.  I would love a nice big yard and room to plant a garden.  And not feeling like everyone can see you if you have your windows open to let air in.  Personally I would probably be happy with a farm house type of house but I doubt that my hubby would be.  I grew up in those old farm houses.  I love a big ol' wrap around porch and plenty of yard.  However right now the economy needs to get better so I feel safe on getting a house.

A nice Peek

It feels like spring is here.  I have enjoyed the last few days so much.  It was such a nice peek into spring.  I had wanted to get some spring cleaning started but it didn't happen.  I forgot about the time change and as much as I love the time change so that I have that extra hour of daylight in the evening it through me off.  I am just now getting my sleep cycle to where I could get to bed last night and wake up in the morning without trying to sleep to closer to lunch time.

The warm weather has flowers blooming all around.  Little bitty wild flowers.  Plus the Easter lilies that have been next the porch bloomed.  This was really great because it is the first time since I have lived where I do that they bloomed.  They come up every year with the greens but this is the first year to see a flower....one lonely little flower.  

The weather is going to cool down the next few days.  I will miss this warmth but I know it will be back soon.
