Things I Have Been Doing...

8/1/2012

 
Things I Have Been Doing...
Cuz sure as crap I haven't been writing up any new posts...


#1 Thing I Have Been Doing...
Picture
I've been doing things like washing and detailing out hot cars like this 2004 Grand Prix GTP that sold yesterday.

In fact, I've processed four car sales in the last 24 hours.


Seriously, we've been major league busy and people want their cars and that means Angie needs to do more manual labor than normal :)
Picture


Yeah,

so I've been cleaning things like the front seats....

Picture




and dashes of vehicles that have pre-sold.

And their nooks.
Picture


I've been detailing back seat areas...
Picture



Engines of course...
Picture
And crannys.
What's a cranny anyway??
Picture


And door panels...
Picture


And that ever exciting trunkal area...
It's a word.
Look it up.
In the Pretend Dictionary Of Made-up Words.  Duh.
Picture
All in an effort to get quality, affordable cars out to families/moms and dads/kids as quick as possible.

#2 Thing I've Been Doing...
Picture
Well, clearly I've continued my tradition of not folding the laundry like always.


Hey!
I finally bought a new basket though, so now all the clothes are in one nice neat pile.
Baby steps.





#3 Thing I've been doing...
Picture
OH!

I bought new pillows for the third bedroom upstairs. It is a tineeee, tiny room. That loveseat pulls out into a twin bed.

Cute pillows, huh? Cheap too!!




#4 Thing I've Been Doing...
Picture
Well, I bought all these 2/$1
red peppers cuz Ima make roasted peppers and freeze them before they get gross and moldy.

Girl Scout honor.

I wasn't a Girl Scout but does that still count?






#5 Thing I've Been Doing...
Picture
I've been busy fertilizing the flowers which then killed a lot of them.

Apparently one should not Miracle-Gro flowers when they're already under stress .

From a drought.

Picture








Does this look dead to you?

Picture






What about these?

Picture



And my pretty red, white and purple petunias...think they're burnt to a crisp on top there?

Picture


The only good thing about inappropriately fertilizing the flowers is...this climbing, red flowered plant is turning out rather gorgeous after that strong shot of fertilizer.





#6 Thing I've Been Doing...
Picture

Keeping the ornery
Two Cats For Sale aka Vinny and Pepper,
happy by plying them with treats.




Picture


Aaaaand trying to keep them off the laptop in the mornings.




Picture
And trying hard to prevent Vinny from going into rehab treatment for his highlight marker sniffing addiction.





#7 Thing I've Been Doing...
Picture
Prettying up the guest bedroom!!!

With new lamps!

And some de-hairifying of everything.


I guess I could have made the bed better where the blankets don't show.
Just not my style. You know, to be neat and tidy.
Picture




Just had to show this...

this is the small window on the small stair landing coming downstairs from the bedrooms. 

Love that orange Italy glass!





#8 Thing I've Been Doing...
Picture
Clearly, I don't want to break my streak of not doing dishes until a customer comes in and then I throw them inside the oven.


Works for me.



You should try it.






#9 Thing I've Been Doing...
Picture

Like my new cross trainer shoes?

Like my white trash tattoo on my ankle?

Picture

Like to be tortured Monday-Friday for one hour early in the morning at a military style boot camp?!?!?!

Do ya? You like torture?

Then join my sister and me every morning at 5:30am.

P.S. The fit lady up front is not me, however the trainer in back...yup, that's Erin at Performance For Health...leader of the torturous boot camp.  She's really nice outside of boot camp but TOUGH! TOUGH! TOUGH! during. I'm not kidding you.




#10 Thing I've Been Doing...
Picture




Entertaining myself taking pictures of the crop duster plane who REFUSES to swoop down super low so I can get a good picture!

Picture






Maybe this one is better.

Picture






This one?

Picture
OKAY FINE!



  I'LL STOP WITH THE BORING PICTURES!!





#11 Thing I've Been Doing...
Picture


Okay, remember when this cupboard was burnt orange like this?


I liked it.

Picture







But then one day I painted it turquoise...



and it remained that way.




For about a year.

Picture








And then I painted it yellow, to brighten things up a bit.

Picture









Aaaand the cupboard is now gray as of last week.






#12 Thing I've Been doing...
Picture


I can't talk about how busy I am without mentioning our time with Little Boy Blue,


the apple of our eye!!!!!

Picture



Even when he's trying to steal his Grandpa's phone when his Grandpa is on a call with a customer,




he's still our #1 little guy...

Picture


How can you not love those cheeks!

Little Boy Blue's too! :):):):):)





Okay, that's all I got for now kiddos!

I have been cooking quite a bit! Can't wait to share a couple recipes! 
Hope everybody has a great Thursday and we'll talk at ya soon!!!
