#19 Nest Wherever I Am

Inspired by Nester, FLYlady and many of you other great home organization/decoration bloggers out there, I finally started to make the most of the apartment I live in right now... We have lived here for 1.5 years and have not tried to really make our home our own until now...

Yesterday, we went to IKEA

We got a lot of cool stuff, but Toby says he secretly just went for the food...

Today, Toby and two of "the boys" put together this fabulous new crafting desk

Toby will use it to write/draw, and I will use it for all my crafts, but we agreed not to let it be cluttered (it tilts up like a drafting desk, so that may help)...

In the time those three boys put together one desk, I put together this coat rack,

this shelving unit (the gray one next to my freezer, the boys put up the white shelves after they finished the desk)

this bookshelf (to the right of my table)

4 dvd racks, and most of a filing cabinet (I did distract them quite often though, asking them questions and asking for help holding something together)... Plus I rearranged at least 4 pieces of furniture (and took everything off of that Black wire unit, which I have to organize tomorrow...

I am finally getting a place for everything so I can put everything in its place! I am excited!

#57 Skype & #6 Clearence Shopping

Got Skype set up on my lappy the other day, it was pretty easy since I have a web cam and mic built in... I have yet to get Monica's number to call them, but I will when I get back to Sac... Also, yesterday I hit the Mervyn's 80% off clearence and bought 2 shirts for summer and 2 long sleeve shirts as well as a pair of jeans that were much needed (my favorite jeans have a huge hole worn in the thigh), and I got 2 - 3/4 sleeve shirts from Old Navy ($5 each)... I am thinking about buying my swim suit on Target online ($3) and saving it for summer... I scored all my Christmas ornaments for next year at Target for 50% off (and I used gift cards - thanks Kelly and Simon!) Next year I am doing a really bright whimsical tree I even got a new wreath and topper for my tree :)

#61 Get to Know my Brother's Significant Other

Today I spent the whole day hanging out with Amy, my little brother Drew's girlfriend... She is a sweetheart, and such a strong woman! We went out to lunch and chatted for a good hour... And her little girl Bailey is my new BFF (she's 1 and I heart her)! I am so glad I got to spend some girl time with her, it was so much fun! I invited her and her kiddos to Sacramento to hang out with us for New Years since Drew will be at camp (he was planning to come up and hang out with me and Toby before going back home anyway, so now he can come get them)... If it works out I am really excited to get to hang out with them some more...

#98 Learn Enough HTML to Make My Blog Fantastic

I started working towards this goal before I officially started my 101 days... What do you guys think? How does it look? I created the Header and Buttons using only Paint and the Photo Editor in PhotoBucket since I don't have PhotoShop yet. When I get it I will work on a new background (though I like this one a lot) and a new header and buttons... This is what I have for now though...
