On the Homefront

I bought a programmable coffeemaker yesterday. In past, I've always thought it too decadant to pay extra for something I could just get my lazy ass out of bed to do. Oh, how wrong I was. Fresh coffee when I wake up? So worth the extra 20$. I see now the error of my cheap ways. Now I just need to buy a bottle of pumpkin spice syrup and I'm set for the year.

I also bought a set of really cheap and flimsy shelves to keep the baby's toys on. The child is just over 13 months old and she has three boxes full of toys! And I nearly bought her more while buying the shelves (boy! was she pissed when I put back the fake grocery items! oooo!). It is amazing, how much she has collected in 9 months! Anyhow, these toy bins are taking over the living room (there is no room in the baby's room for the toys), and all the toys get mixed up in them, so it's hard to really play with them. I'm still searching for the green ring from the rainbow stacker/lighthouse. (I'm pretty sure it's under the couch). I was hoping that the shelves would give some more organization to it all. Sadly, the shelves are not big enough to hold all the toys. It does give some organization and display - who needs to buy new when your child can rediscover the crap at the bottom of the toy box? - but I need something larger. Now I just need to decide if I buy or will have to build. It is still a living room.

Free Stuff! What a great way to start a week! A little somthin’-somthin’ for my peeps. (does sound hokey? ‘cause it sounds totally smooth in my head). CSN.com is letting me hand out a little gift card to one lucky reader! And by little, I mean, a substantial amount. $50 smackers. 50 semoleons. 50 clams, baby. Which can buy you something very nice to make your January quite fun or your Valentine’s Day a little more romantic.  CSN is comprised of over 200 online stores, where you can find everything from Delsey luggage to Le Creuset cookware! How styling would I look with this set, while attending my first AP reading? This has a definite wow factor! Yes! I was asked… still waiting for my district to work out the details as it takes place while we are still in school. No one can make the decision at this point because, well… there is no more money anywhere. I’ll know for sure by next week. Enough of school politics! This will be one of those giveaways with fantastic odds! Unfortunat...

I was tagged... Here are the instructions: 1) Go into your archives. 2) Find your 23rd post. 3) Find your 5th sentence (or closest to it). 4) Post the text of your sentence in your blog along with these rules. 5) Tag five other people. Here it is... Since I was to be in a meeting all day, the district hired a substitute for my classes. And thus my aversion to having subs in my class was born. Or rather the unknown factor of them - the planner in me cringes at the thought of being off schedule. Of course, I could be flexible, but flexible is much harder.
