Can't talk people busy

Gosh I love that Fed Ex commercial!

Well the last quarter of the year has started and it was started with a bang. My outlook calendar is booked solid from 8-5 (ok fine most days 9-5). But since that is the case it means business is gong well.

I've gotten back into my gym routine this week after a few weeks errr month of slacking. Hey you try to get into a routine after being Cape, ACK and wedding bound for weeks at a time...back off! :)

Very much looking forward to the game tonight. I have to kick off a meeting at 4:30 and I think I'll run to the gym after for a quick workout and then walk home and be set for the Sox game by 6:30. I also have to run by the store and pick up chicken sausage, peppers and onions to make the Kimba (more Music Guy) famous Fenway Sausages.

Exciting stuff I know people.

I discovered you can watch some of the hold episodes of The Hills and Life with Ryan onDemand. Two shows I only knew of but never watched. But thanks to our housemates on ACK I am hooked. Yes that's correct we spent some of our beloved time on the Island catching up with LC. I never watched Laguna Beach so I've been searching the internet and asking those around me to fill me in. Sad very sad...Hey Kimba MSBNC called...it said cut the shit.

Hope you guys are having a good week, and are ready for PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!! (sorry Suz)

I heart you

I have found a new love in my life Bobby Flay. I was catching up on Rachel Ray and she had him on, i then went and DVR'd his show on Food Network.

We are watching the Breaking News on the boys in Missouri, this is so sad. A good sad. God Bless those families.

We are all so blessed!

Only 2 of me

I got a forward today with a link to see how many people in the US have the same name as you do. And there are only 2 "Kimberly F" in the US, with myself included. Not bad! Thanks Mom!

Music Guy on the other hand has a very popular name there are 3,111 people in the US that are named the same.

My mom is the only person in the US with her name! That's something!

How many of you are there out there?

Weekend

Hi all, well my mother and I got up and went to get a new setting for my ring and well no luck. I was explaining to the lady what i was looking for and she didn't seem to give a crap. I pointed out one that was close but said I'd rather have it look like this then that. She was terrible, kept telling me what SHE liked and what SHE thought i should get. I all of a sudden just said thank you and grabbed my mom and got the heck out of there. It was 10am and I was so close to telling her what I thought, but i just left instead of getting kicked out.

We went to Trader Joe's and then came home to keep cleaning and getting everything in it's little place. We went to the Container Store last night and bought some clothes bags to go under the bed, didn't take long to fill those up. We also got You, Me and Dupree OnDemand last night, what a super cute movie. I always see movies I'd like to go see but we never actually go out to the movies, something just doesn't seem "fun" about that.

It is 60+ outside and I think i'm going to go for a run. I mean when can anyone in New England go for a run (in shorts) on January 6th. I think i'll run by the Navy Yard and along the water. Days like this really make me miss Beacon Hill. Running around the Charles River was one of the best runs i've ever had. I could run over there it's not that far, but i'm thinking that won't happen!

Hope you are all having a great weekend. And tomorrow starts the Playoffs wooohooo Go Pats!

Giddy up!

my backgroud

yeah so i know, my blog is boring..it's a dud..it's as plain as plain can get. And to top it off L siffed up her Garage and now i really look lame-o.

Can anyone offer up any tips to a preppy gal who has NO clue about anything?/!

With the guy gone this weekend maybe i can try to figure this crap out!

Bad DVR's

We DVR'd Courteney Cox Arquette's new show "Dirt" and I have to say it sucks. Not that I am surprised, but I had high hopes for that show. Maybe next weeks won't be as bad.

Comments/Wave bye to Preppy Cafe :(

For some damn reason all of your comments are not able to post. Hopefully Music Guy can figure it out, Lord knows i have NO clue!

In other sad news, E over at PreppyCafe has closed her doors! It has been a great place to go and get wonderful preppy ideas. She has made such a little blogging family and i will truly miss seeing the bright pink site! BUT as we all know, E does not disappoint, she is keeping Suburban Cupcake up and open for readers! Big hugs to E!

We're heading to 75 Chestnut for brunch! Yummm...I wish i liked bloody's they seem so perfect with eggs!

Merry Merry

I think I have returned more things this Christmas season than I have bought. Target had a griddle on sale and I know Music Guy has wanted one so perfect, we now have a griddle and heck it was even on sale. I didn't wrap it because I didn't want it to be a "real" Christmas gift, as we are not doing that. So after he saw it he didn't like it because it was one that plugged in not one we'd set on the gas stove. So it was back to Target to return it, luckily the lines aren't long for that yet. But it's a heck of a lot of traffic to deal with to return one thing. So I was forced to buy something to make it worth while.

My mom and I strolled down Charles St today, I sure miss Beacon Hill. Yea yea yea, but it's true, I really enjoy the area and every time I am there I run into someone I know. Oh well. That's in the past! HA.

Hopefully we'll have a low key night, I have some laundry in only to find out after the load was done the washing machine does not spin. It just fills up with water and drains for the whole cycle. I had 10 pairs of jeans washing (only one of which were mine) and they weren't even that wet, but covered in suds. But the guy downstairs is not here so i used his washer, thanks! So now I have to tell our Landlord, and that is not really what i'd like to call them about.

Catching up on my Rachael Ray shows and wrapping up some of the few prezzies I got. I'll finish tomorrow when the rest of the men are, along with the pouring rain. Who needs a drink!

I know a lot of you will be taking off so I wanted to wish you all a very Happy Holidays. Merry Christmas!!! :) Have fun and enjoy!

Tuesday it is....

I think for the most part (besides our bedroom) we are pretty much moved in and finished. And it's a great feeling! People come in and think we've lived here for years. Which i guess is a good thing, but then i wonder if i have to much crap around! Anywho. Another busy week in the Kimba/Music Guy household! We are getting our laundry done now, as before i know it i'll be packing and heading home!

Have you been following the sox news? Matsuzaka for 100 million, YIKES. Baseball is getting out of control, salary cap? Who needs it!

Nothing special to report for dinner, i have no interest to make a thing. House is on and it's new so i'm a fan!

I fear turning on our Christmas tree lights as every time the tree is touched or moves it drops about 1000 needles. Getting that beast out is going to be fun! Throw it off the deck? I'm in!

Starting next week I am getting out my sewing and will post some goodies for ya'll to see!

Have a good night, it's freakin' cold now but tomorrow it is suppose to be in the upper 50's Giddy up!

Here I am!

Whoa, what a crazy last few weeks. But not to worry I'm back!

Music Guy and I had said we were NOT going to get anything for each other for Christmas, instead we'd get things for the apartment. I couldn't have been happier! Until he said we should set a limit and not go over because he has a few little things he wants to get me. Oh great. I was so happy to be off the hook with Christmas shopping for him. He never gives me any idea's and I have absolutely NO clue what to get him. This is suppose to be a happy time and fun, but I'm stumped. I have to get my shopping shoes on and just get it done! It will be fun and I love to buy for him (when i know what i'm looking for) so it's really not that bad! HA.

This past weekend Music Guy's parents came for a Christmas gathering and stayed the night. It was so much fun. We made a great casual dinner and just enjoyed each other! Lots of laughs!This week is so busy!

Tomorrow I have an all day meeting out of the office, it will be a great training, but it's so hard to be gone all day with no access to email or vmail. I will be able to check my email on my BlackBerry, but it's just not the same. Wednesday night I have to go to Beacon Hill to clean up my old apartment. My mom is coming out for a few weeks and will be staying at my old place, so i need to do a lot of cleaning.Thursday we have an all day meeting (again) and our holiday lunch party and of course a yankee swap. I haven't yet to buy ANY Christmas gifts, i am so bad this year. Then on Friday Music Guy and I fly to Madison on Friday for my family Christmas.

Needless to say I have tons to do and am very stressed but am spending my time blogging. Go figure!I am going to start making my headbands again and also get more crafty, i can't wait. Now this is the real Kimba!

There is NOTHING on TV tonight, and we couldn't find a movie to watch. I am hoping to grab my Country Living and hit it.Crazy week here i come!

My Monday off

Hi All! I took the day off today and it was a well spent day. First off we had a very good weekend, it was even better knowing I had a long one!

I got up around my normal time and laid around on the couch blogging and just playing on the internet. Which Music Guy is about to put me on a timer with this thing :( "That's all you do". That is so not true, I do however spend a lot of time just reading random blogs but I also use it for even educational things. Like the News and um.... People.com, that's about it, other than that it's blogging. OH I also look for headband ideas. See I do use it for more than blogging or shopping.

I had a lot of things to get done so I headed to the Christmas Tree Shop to look for a tree skirt. I found a good one that was only $2.99, it's just a cream fleece with a little snowflake print around the edges, simple yet cute and oh so cheap! Then I had to hit up Target to find some workout pants for again cheap. I don't mind spending money but for things like that i'd rather not if I don't have to. And I found some super cute ones for only $14.99 on sale, they are just what I wanted. Picked up some other daily things for our place, nothing special but for some reason I was able to spend a TON. I think I was reading an old post from Erin's blog about how she always seems to be able to spend $80 dollars at Target, I too feel that is one of the easiest things to do without really getting anything "good". Paper towels and soap doesn't add up that much, yikes, I might need to be watched when I go there.
Then it was off to pick up some goodies for the week. I just love Johnny Foodmaster's deli turkey, it taste just like any of their high end deli meat, just for the record! I got some pita pockets because they are only 1 point on Weight Watchers and they are honey oat, yummy! So a sandwich is only 2-3 points and for lunch that's great plus filling, also easy to eat at work.

I have some chocolate chip cookies in the oven and I am getting ready to start dinner. Funny how domestic I am when i'm not in the office all day! We just had Comcast come to run another line to our bedroom. Oh joy...nothing like Music Guy falling asleep with the TV on and I am the one who has to get up to turn it off! Poor Kimba!!

I'm off to make dinner. I am making Turkey Kielbasa, baked beans and a veggie mix. Kind of a weird combo, but that's what happens when I am left to make dinner, as you can tell unless we are having taco's Music Guy plans the meals!
