Yo! I'm Back!!!

KI-MI’s back ALRIGHT….dum dum dum dum dum dum Oooh yeah. Oh. My. Stars She’s back again…. Blah blah blah… AM I ORIGINAL??? Yeahhhh. AM I THE ONLY ONE??? Yeahhhh. AM I SEXUAL….noooooo. (lol that’s clearly not how the song goes but oh well) Lol I was going to keep going with my rendition of the BSB hit. But I didn’t want to give you more than you could handle on a “I’m Back” post…So here we go…


Sooo... I have decideddddddd…..to follow Jesus…lol kidding, I mean I had, a long time ago, but that's not the point of this post, the “I have decided” reminded me of that old school tune. Phew, tangent aside (and second song for the post…craziness), shall we see what I decided??

I have decided this is The YEAR… OF THE HOUSE … (don’t you just hear an announcer on that? I do! Makes me snicker… wow tangent #3 and not even to the point of the post yet! WRANGLE YOURSELF IN GIRL! It’s the coffee I swear it’s the coffee!) So a fellow blogger sibling said I should do a New Year’s Resolution with something different each month. And I started a list dedicating a month for a person and getting all jazzy with spiritual stuff and then I nixed it (yeah I’m so going to hell for that right?? Lol kidding) I decided I should be doing that EVERY DAY not on a monthly focus (haha way to bring that on back and get a jewel on my crown for that one eh?) soo I decided to do something different. And then it came to me: The YEAR ( year year year)… OF THE HOUSE (house house house). In which I will dedicate each month to a home project-o. This could be fun right? I have Mr. I- can-make-stuff-with-my-hands-manly-man-man (Alfie) to assist me (although he doesn’t know about this yet) and Mr. I-can-derail-any-project-efforts-with-the-touch-of-my-pudgy-little-curiousity seeking-fingers (Colty) to make things a little tricky. So a pleasant mix of easy and tough! Should be good!

SOoo, what to put on the list? I thought of going by room buuut then I remembered that I am not a Real Housewife of Beverly Hills with that many rooms and thought of making the hallway a “room” or the foyer a “room” and I think it could be a go! So here goes the list by month….

January-

• Upstairs hallway: Free hand the lyrics to My Redeemer Lives on the wall (yeah bold AND zesty, I know…risky too but I want something handwritten on the walls and that song is such a reminder. I love it.) Oh and probably add some other small photo on the other 2 walls (maybe add the linen closet handle
• Phase 1 of the craft room (organization- just weeding through what stays and what goes, and tossing what goes)
• Nursery (put up the curtains, make a set for the other window
