Dinner with mom






One of the best things about moving back to the town that I grew up in is that I live 3 minutes from my mom's house. We also happen to work together (she is a secretary at the high school) so I definitely get quality mom time. And I love it. So whenever she suggests that we have dinner together, I always jump at the opportunity. Damien and I love going over there since she is a great cook and will offer us some variety of a vegetarian meal. Tonight was no exception, ravioli with pesto, zucchini and chick peas. I know she cooked chick peas because she thinks we don't get enough protein not eating meat, but they are delicious so I am not complaining. Thanks mom!

I went shopping last night at Marshall's and picked up some great things, all cheap, cheap, cheap. I am seriously running out of room so I am wondering, how do you all decide when to do closet overhaul? I have such a hard time parting with things, mainly because I feel I will want them later down the road, even if I haven't had them in rotation for awhile. I have a decent sized closet and told Damien last night that if he truly loved me, he would give me his closet too. And I know he would but then our room would be a mess and we don't want that either. I know some people make rules for themselves, no buying anything new without getting rid of something old. My problem is that I am constantly picking up new things and since I don't spend a lot of money on them, I don't feel guilty about it. But then I run out of space. Any ideas???


That's all for tonight. I am going to curl up with my Women's Health magazine in front of the fire! Have a great evening...

  2. I love Marshall's.

    Maybe buy those containers which you can store under the bed, that will add some space not unless you have a lot of stuff under the bed already.
