Twilight

Have you read the books? OMG I LOVE them. I've been hearing people talk about it for some time now but I just picked up the first book about 10 days ago. Well I'm ready to start book three now and I couldn't been more addicted. I haven't seen the movie yet but I just watched a trailer and holy cow it looks so good. If you haven't read it I totally recommend it. I can't vouch for the movie yet but books are always better than movie in my opinion.

I've gone all weekend without reading it but I'm starting book three tonight. Can't wait!

Check this out.

I just found the coolest blog.

http://hyperhomemaker.blogspot.com/

She is the most organized person I've ever seen. She has great tips on organizing, cleaning, entertaining you name it. The only bad part is that I read her blog on my lunch break and now the only thing I can think about is going home and cleaning my house. I've already bookmarked the link and the first thing I'm going to do Saturday morning after I wake up is read her blog. Within the first 3 minutes of reading it today I was so anxious to tackle my hall closet that I've been meaning to clean and organize.

So sometime this week on my lunch break I'm going to head to WalMart or Target or something and pick up some bins and trays so I can get to organizing. Wow, I don't think I've ever been so excited up to clean.

Here's my living room. Do you see why I need to clean. Haha, no really this was taken not long after we moved in and we had to pull everything out of the kitchen to do the tile floors.

This was taken awhile ago but it still looks pretty much the same. See, it's not too bad.
