I've been trying to identify problem areas and try to resolve them. When I say problem areas I mean organization. It drives me crazy when the kitchen counter gets covered with mail and random stuff. Another issue was coats being left on chairs. The entry way closet won't be done until it gets warmer out so I tried a different option. 

Mail has a home now by the door. 

Coats are now up instead of covering the chairs in the kitchen. Happiness!

I just had to share the new basket I got on clearance from Target. Cute eh? 

The last few days I've been trying to make sense of my office. I want to make changes to the room to make it more functional. I was excited to get a new desk from Target. 

This afternoon I went through the large pile of pennies Peter has. I was super excited to find a penny minted in San Franscico. I don't care if he called me a nerd. 

Peter was kind enough to send the time today and make us a boiled dinner. 

Celebrating St Patrick's Day wearing green and having a Guiness at one of the local Irish pubs for lunch. I made sure to stop and grab a Shamrock Shake before heading home. 

I tried to have some self control this year and have only a few Shamrock Shakes. Today was the first day I had one. :)

Breakfast

My recent splurge...new dining room chairs from Target.com. After a few years finally have matching chairs. I think in the Spring we will alter the table to make it easier to fit chairs under it. 

Happy Pi Day!

Lots of snow here in Maine. When will Spring appear?

Todi

Today we went to Ikea for Bring Your Own Friend Day. We got there at 10am and didn't leave until after 3pm. My sister got furniture for the baby and I picked up a few things.  

Month of Green

Aware I have a problem. Can't resist green or mint. 

Month of Green

Last night I played with the Ikea kitchen planner. I thought it was cool to map out the room. I liked how there was a similar wall color to the existing color. I've been debating about changes to the kitchen. 

Month of Green

I'm easily distracted when I see green. Like today, I was getting a coffee and saw the Mint Oreo Donut from Dunkin Donuts. Without thinking I ordered one. 

Month of Green

To start my month of green after a long work day (10 hours) I went to Arby's to try their Mint Chocolate Swirl Shake. I'm drawn to anything green and minty. 

We had fun at game night with friends. I was amused that my friend changed one of the characters in the game to his choosing. 

It snowed today. So tired of snow but dinner made me happy. :)

I had a great time at this event tonight in Bangor. One of my friends was a presenter and she did a great job.

There will be another one in April. 

Came home to a home made gift from Peyton. Her dad may have made it but was still nice surprise which she gave to me as I was walking up the driveway. 

I have a minor obsession with little trees. Sometimes I put lights in them or ornaments. I'm up to three trees and trying to not buy more. When you put them all together the three trees are different sizes. The amaryllis is in rough shape and I'm not sure where to move it though it won't seem to die.
