Update on the D.I.Y.

Well, we finished the Guest Room at Mom and Daddy's. It turned out fabulous and better then we expected.

Daddy and I hung the headboard and the rest just fell into place. We picked out a nice comforter set and hung the curtains. It all took about 3 hours and that included the shopping for the comforter and hanging the wall hangings too. The Wistners are super efficient!

I think the Vacancy sign at the Wistner Hotel is now turned on. Ready for guests...

High Tech Rednecks

Okay New Millennium, here come the Mizes....

We joined the crackberry/iphone generation and bought iphones this week. I can already tell you that I understand the addiction now. That phone is super cool. It does so much and I love being able to check my e-mail/facebook from anywhere. Wondering how I went without one for so long! Tommy loves his too. He's already got it set up to play his Texas Country music and will be using it for Fantasy Football this year. Who said old dogs can't learn new tricks!!!

I dressed mine up in green so we could tell them apart. Tommy is staying with the manly traditional black phone. (You know I love my green phones...) Roxie is unimpressed with either.

D.I.Y

Okay, I got inspired this weekend to do fix it up jobs.

I added greenery and some pottery to the space above my cabinets. I love it. I didn't realize my kitchen needed something until it was up. It made it warm and doesn't look cluttered like I thought it would. I bought greenery I think I can just throw in the washing machine when it gets dusty. We'll see.

In my zest to fix it up, I also decided to tackle mom's guest bedroom. We're doing the decorating on a shoestring budget so we had to improvise. I bought some material, batting and had a piece of plywood cut to make a headboard. Worked on it last night and think it turned out pretty good. Daddy and I will hang it this weekend and I'll take some pictures of the end results. Momma and I will be buying a comforter and curtains to match, but we need to get the headboard hung to get an idea of what we want.

Tommy will be headed to the Texan's game on Saturday instead of helping with Project Guestroom, but Roxie will be assisting. Look for pictures later.

Daddy's Girl

She sleeps snuggled up to Tommy. She follows Tommy around and even barbeques with him. Then why, oh why, at 1:00 in the morning does she wake me up to go outside? Roxie clearly prefers her daddy, the little traitor, but I'm the go to girl!!

After making enough noise to wake the dead, she's been outside and is now back to snoozing comfortably in bed. I on the other hand am now wide awake! And Tommy slept thru the whole thing.

And people want us to have a real kid! Ha!!

Reunited!

Bandit has now been reunited with his family.

All is good at the Mize house again. We're back down to a one dog family.
