secret obsession... well, not anymore.

This is a little sad to admit, but I definitely just took the "How well do you know ____?" Quizzes on FOX's website. These are my scores for the BONES characters:

Brennan: 8/10
Booth: 7/10
Sweets: 5/10
Cam: 7/10
Hodgins: 8/10
Angela: 7/10

I'm not proud of it, but I kinda am... I am considered a "Super Fan" for all characters except Sweets... and that's ok with me. 

I may or may not be obsessed with BONES.
Actually, I am obsessed with BONES, there's no doubt about it. As I write this, I'm trying to find a time when I can pick up all the seasons to borrow from my friend Aubrey. I'm so excited to see the "will-they/wont-they" from the beginning.. and even though I know they will, I'm still excited! 
Today is going to be a great day.

steal of a deal x10

I got a steal of a deal at DI tonight... actually, more than one!
  • Harry Potter 5 (in great condition, first book in my collection) - $3.00
  • Christmas wrapping paper (two huge BRAND NEW rolls) - $0.75/each
  • 2 Picture frames for a repurposing project I'm doing - $0.75/ea
I also got a few great deals last month, too! I can't believe I forgot to blog about these!
  • 3 Stocking Holders (for a repurposing project) - $1.50/ea
  • Picture frame (for the same repurposing project) - $0.75
  • DVD Player (pretty decent condition, ours had broken) - $10.00
  • Silverware drawer sorter - $1.00
  • Condiment tupperware sorter thing (same one I grew up with that we used when we had Hawaiian Haystacks or Tacos) - $1.50
  • V-neck T-shirt (b/c of my t-shirt quilt that I'm working on, I don't have any more t-shirts to just wear around the house) - $2.00
I was pretty excited about all my great deals! DI is a lot more awesome as an adult then it was as a kid. Probably because my mom would make us try on the clothes that you could just feel were someone else's. Now I get to choose what I buy and actually enjoy it! (I also don't try things on until they've gone through the wash...jk, but kinda for real) Ben's a good sport about it, too.

Is it sad that I'm so excited about my deals from DI? Probably, yes... but that's ok. I had a great night just browsing the aisles of DI, Ross, TJMaxx, Old Navy and (my personal favorite) LOWES, with my husband.  --  But seriously, it's fun to look all the home stuff and think of a better future. Times where green walls and exposed electrical wire don't exist in my home... :)

Happy Friday! Good-night and Good-luck.

naps...

So, I usually try to avoid naps. (Sad, right?) Whenever Ben says he's going to take one, I just hop on my computer and try to fill my time with pinterest, or I might get the motivation to do some laundry or dishes. He's such a busy guy, that I don't really mind when he takes a nap. It's also really nice because when he wakes up he's a great person to be around. A fed, well-rested husband?? What more do you need? :)

Anyway, every once and a while, I have a really LONG day at work, and When I get home I could use a hug that lasts about an hour. Today was a very busy/long day and so I needed some a hug or something of that nature. So, after dinner when Ben told me he was going to take a power-nap before he did his homework, I decided that I'd go lay down with him and just enjoy a little time, cuddling with my husband.

Right when we laid down (around 6:45p), I asked him, "how long are we going to rest/sleep?" and he responded, "Oh, maybe a half-hour. I just need to rest a little before I do my accounting homework." So, I was cool with that. I could definitely use a half-hour of peace and quiet. Who wouldn't want that??  :)

Lo and behold, I roll over and he's gone! I'm thinking, Where did he go! I laid down to be with him, not for him to peace out. So I get out of bed, and he's sitting there doing his homework and I turn and look at the clock...... 11 PM!!???!! Say WHAT??

I immediately think.. This is why I DO NOT take naps. They always last longer than they should and while they are always wonderful during, they do not bode well for a good  night's sleep later on... Mainly because your body thinks night already happened (while you were sleeping for the last 4-ish hours).

ANYWAY... that's my story of the day. during my nap was wonderful, but the waking up WAY later than I planned on was not. I think I'll keep my roll as the human alarm-clock (Ben usually gives me the job of waking him up after a certain amount of time).

Lucky for me, there are some awesome infomercials on right now on The Country Network. If I wasn't self-disciplined, we'd have two non-stick orgreenic pans, or these AWESOME Who Knew books. :) I've only been awake for an hour, so who knows how long I'll be hub this time... Hopefully not past 12a. I need to be at work by 8:45am tomorrow.
