Woe Is Me

I love food, I love to eat, but more importantly, I love chocolate!!! Probably more than anyone I know....

So you will never find me turning down a box of chocolates during the holiday season! I see chocolate and just gravitate towards it, and indulge :)

You can imagine my excitement when I saw a gift from my boss sitting on my desk this morning when I walked into work, and I knew from it's precise size and weight that it was certainly a box of Chocolates :) This is all a little sad, right?! You'd think that I'd have better things to do at work then shake & weigh the wrapped present.

BUT I couldn't wait an entire day to open them, knowing they were waiting for me, so I secretly unwrapped it under my desk, tore off the plastic wrap....

Only to find....

A box full of COCONUT chocolate!!

Oh nooooo...what a way to ruin all the goodness inside :( I hate coconut. More than I hate vegetables. More than I hate Walmart! Boo hoo hooo. What an awful morning. Please mourn with me....

Homeowners

Yes, we are Homeowners, yes indeed! It's official :)

I feel odd though, like we just signed away our life. Well, ok, we pretty much DID sign away our life. Is that a good thing?! O well, I can't wait to start fixing up our ugly house! We'll be getting some plumbing and electrical work done first, and maybe get some estimates on new windows. But after that, let the creative juices flow :) Stay posted over on This House Our Home.

New Blog

Announcing mine & Ross' new blog, documenting all of our home renovation projects:

This House Our Home

We are so excited and eager to start making changes to our house that we thought we'd let you join us for the ride. Or perhaps I'm just going all blog happy and can't get enough blogging! Or talking about myself. Anywho! I hope you check it out. We close on the house in t-minus 5 days!

And please bear with us as we're using Wordpress for our new blog and I feel completely illiterate trying to figure out how to use it! You can thank Ross for making that decision :)

Let the DIY begin!

Christmas Is Coming

The Seibert household is brimming with excitement....excitement for the upcoming holiday and excitement for the closing of our very first house in just 6 days! Now that we're back from vacation, I can get things done and am starting to feel less stressed about my to-do list. Our christmas cards have yet to be sent out (eek!) and I'm quickly working to finish our yearly christmas photo collage. Aside from that, I still have to finish christmas shopping, and as far as I'm concerned, everyone is getting gift cards if they didn't give me a list....mwahahaha. But gift cards aren't so bad, Ross & I are asking for gift cards this year to either Lowe's or Home Depot to let the home renovations begin!

Anyway....Merry Christmas. I promise our Christmas Cards will be coming soon! No worries if you didn't send us one though b/c of the temporary address change! If I were more prepared I would've sent our cards out early so everyone could have our address.... o well. There's always next year :)

Disney World Blues...

I'm in one of the happiest places on Earth, and just don't seem to be feeling the spirit. I'm currently updating my blog at 11:15 am this morning, trying to kill time, because I'm waiting for the hubs to wake up. He has a headache, so he is still sleeping and hoping to get rid of it. But I can't be mad, I passed my sickness off on him. Here I am, finally feeling better after being sick for the first half of vacation, now to only have to hope that Ross gets better in the next, oh, 5 minutes, so we can try to enjoy the last 2 days we have left here in Disney World.

Besides the sickness putting a damper on our vacation, the weather has been REALLY cold! We definitely weren't prepared for it, and had to run to Target Monday night to buy scarves, gloves & hats, which I've worn all week. Sure, it beats Pittsburgh and their highs of 27 degrees, but surely we weren't expecting this for Florida!

Anyway, I could keep going on and on about what's gone wrong with our vacation. It certainly hasn't been the best, but I'm still happy we're here, and that I wasn't so sick that I was bedridden. I enjoyed most of the rides, ate lots of good food, and now, it's finally getting warmer outside! I probably won't have to wear my underarmor today :)

Welp, it's a shame that we finally had a whole week off of work, to only be sick for most of it. O well. I might actually be ready to end this vacation in 2 days.....
