That this week was going to FLY. When I already have my whole week planned out by Sunday afternoon, I know this week was going to get away from me. Our work Christmas Party (nope, i will NOT say "Holiday") is tomorrow and we are doing a Secret Santa (nope, i will NOT say "Yankee Swap") and I have yet to get the gift. I wanted to go to Christmas Tree Shop and get a Nantucket basket to put the goodies in. But nope, I have not even done that. If worse comes to worse I will go to Downtown Crossing and hit up Bath and Body Works. But I really wanted to get some good and preppy (hoping to get it back)! hehe.
Speaking of work, I have two, two hour conference calls today and they are actually great topics so that helps. But it doesn't help me get my work done that I need to. I have an all day off site meeting tomorrow along with our Christmas work Lunch which is in the North End and everyone is looking forward to the wine. But I'll need to control myself so I can come back to the office afterwards and get anything done I didn't today. If I don't I'll need a nap! And on Friday i'm off so that isn't an option!
I've been meaning to blog about this all week but never got a chance.
I received my English Tea Paperie cards this weekend and I was soooooo pleased! Chloe over at ETP is one talented gal. Besides the super cute cards, Chloe had it wrapped in cute pink tissue and held it together with an ETP sticker and then when I opened it there was the cutest white tote bag with a pink and white poka-dot ribbon ribbon attached to another super cute accessory ribbon tag with her logo on it. LOVE IT. I know she took pictures and put them on her site, but the real thing is so classy! And that was just the packaging! The note cards are to die for. I ended up ordering the Blue Toile (shocker) Assam. It is uber preppy! I can't wait to send out my first card and spread the word. Big hugs to Chloe for following her dreams and creating this classic business!
That seems to be it for now, i have to get some lunch with my girl Sara and then back on another call!
Happy Hump Day!

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!

tis' the weekend
Hi guys, this was one crazy long long week. Music Guy and I had his family over for a little "In the City Christmas". It was so fun. I'll fill you all in when i post again. I am just sitting here watching the Pats enjoying a nice Sunday at home. Also what a great day!
Hope you guys are having a great weekend. I will post more next week!
One thing....... Baby dolls as a gift for a 18month girl is a perfect gift. Music Guy's mom got our friends daughter one (they came over last night so we could see the little gal) and it was a huge hit... Note to all! :)

Cooking help
I am NOT the cook of the household, I do try but at the end of the day it really is better if i keep my rear out of the kitchen...Unless asked to help.
Every year Music Guy's parents have a pre-Christmas in the city and this year we are hosting it. Instead of going out to dinner and only having hor'deurves and wine at our place like they have done in previous years, we are staying in and making dinner.
Music Guy suggested we do some sort of skirt steak sandwiches and heavy hor'deurves. I LOVE this idea, it is more casual and less stressful. We also wanted to have a lot of different sauces or toppings and this is were I am stuck.
If you have some idea's please let me know, I am open to ANYTHING!

VERY busy day back at work today, Monday's are super hard days for me to take off. But what's a girl to do. It was also so freakin' chilly out, I know this is nothing but man this stunk. I do not like this...at all, darn it.
I have a busy rest of the week at work, I am just relaxing tonight. I started my weekly list of "to-do's" and the top to-do is wash the bathroom floors. That is for tomorrow, I can't bring myself to do that right now. I want to just curl up on the couch and read my magazines. Speaking of maggers I have changed my address on some of them but am waiting to get them in either my old mailbox or forwarded and they have not shown up in either place. I put in a change of address request and I have yet to get ONE piece of mail forwarded. I am so not happy, I love mail!

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!

My outfit for today!
This is the coat i'm wearing, it looks odd when I post it, but it really is cute!
My sweater is in brown, I have dark brown eyes and Mrs. Kimba always said I should wear more brown so when I made my JCrew sale buys I got it just because of her!
These shirts are a staple in my closet, a lot of time Music Guy and I will show up and we'll be wearing the same shirt, of course then I have to change!
Nothing special, just regular pants, these are not the exact ones, but I got these so long ago I was unable to find a link or picture of them. But these are close enough!
Rooooaarrrrr
That was pretty pathetic , that was a roar for the Pats and Lions game at 1pm today. We're heading over to fav couple's house to watch the game. Always a good time. Last year it got a bit out of hand, it's their Christmas "Party" and or just a reason to get everyone together and watch the game.
Music Guy has a Christmas Party tonight for work. I will not be attending with him, it's at a club in Boston and that's just not where I could see myself on a Sunday evening. And he's also not going to be there for very long so I don't feel as bad!
I took tomorrow off, so this is a long weekend for Kimba!
I've been catching up on my new blog friends old post, it's fun to read how they were and how they are now. Smart, fun and oh so preppy!
You know when you see the jewelry commercials around Christmas time and they show all off the sale great presents, why are they all SO ugly? I see these woman get these terrible necklace and they're so happy. I do understand the Lexus commercials, I mean those are nice hoopdies.
All a few Sunday thoughts as I wait for Music Guy to get ready!

Christmas Tree oooo Christmas Tree
We need to pick out some dining room table chairs, and I have NO idea what way to go. I do know what i'd really like but I think those are out of the question. Music Guy's parents are going to get them for us for Christmas, which is soo nice! Mrs. Kimba (my mom) got us one of our couches, so we've really lucked out.
We joined a gym in the next town over yesterday, it is only $10 a month. They just opened and are trying to get members, worked for me! When our fav couple came over on Thursday they were telling us all about it, so we signed up on line and in a half hour we're going to have our first workout there. Regardless of what it's like you can't beat $10 a month. We both were members at the Beacon Hill Athletic Club, and it SUCKED...I paid $64 a month for a crappy no good gym so nothing could be any worse! If you can't tell I feel very strongly about it. HA.
Then it's off to get our Christmas tree, I can't wait! I wanted to get it the Friday after Turkey Day but we couldn't find an open tree lot. The only place i saw was K-Mart, and for me there was just a little something about getting my tree at K-Mart that didn't feel right.
At some point I need to run to the Christmas Tree Shop to return some crappy window candles, i got 10 of them and none of the worked. Damn it. Then I went to CVS and found the exact ones i wanted for a dollar less each. Score!
Not sure whats on for the PM but we'll worry about that when the time comes!
I hope you guys have a great Saturday, I really love the weekends!

DAMN YOU TO HECK JCREW!
I just got an email that if I do a little more Sale shopping on JCrew.com I can have it shipped for only $4.95. That is a super good deal, last time i paid about three times that. Can't blog must shop!
Use code NFS-HL3
Giddy Up

Bean...Bean...Bean
I was so happy to see my L.L. Bean order sitting on my desk when I got to work this morning. I processed to open it with the same excitement as I would if the box said JCrew or any other goodies I purchased on line.
As you know I ordered charcoal but when pulled the first one out it was NAVY...ok ok not a big deal at least it wasn't pink (though I would have loved that) BUT they were also the wrong size. Not to happy about that, but Music Guy said to bring them home and he'll try them, so hopefully they work. Bean is usually really good with their orders, busy time of year I suppose!
I have had a turkey sandwich everyday this week for lunch, i am kind of getting sick of them. Or maybe it's the low cal bread I bought, bread is just not one of those things you can REALLY skimp on. You can do low cal but this time I did the lowest. Music Guy had one sandwich and hated it because it didn't even hold together. I kept telling him how much I liked it, after four days of this stuff I too agree, it sucks!
One of our favorite couples is coming over tonight, it will be so neat to show off our place to someone new. I'm not going to lie, it is fun to have people come over and see what we've done. Must be because we've put a lot of work into it and it's nice to see it pay off. Weird?
My nails will not hold nail polish if my life depended on it, no joke..NONE. So when ever I get my nails done I am left only using very light colors. The one I tend to go with is Bubble Bath from OPI, it's a good color stays on for at least two days, and then chips. Any advice? Besides don't waste your money getting your nails done! :)
As you know I ordered charcoal but when pulled the first one out it was NAVY...ok ok not a big deal at least it wasn't pink (though I would have loved that) BUT they were also the wrong size. Not to happy about that, but Music Guy said to bring them home and he'll try them, so hopefully they work. Bean is usually really good with their orders, busy time of year I suppose!
I have had a turkey sandwich everyday this week for lunch, i am kind of getting sick of them. Or maybe it's the low cal bread I bought, bread is just not one of those things you can REALLY skimp on.

LL Bean
Here the slippers i got for Music Guy, he needed some slippers for just knocking around the house and when he goes on the deck! They're a great deal, only $19.50 and come in some very manly colors...Forest Green, Navy and the shown Charcoal. LandsEnd also has some cute slippers for both guys and gals. I sent Music Guy links to these and ones from LandsEnd but L.L. Bean won out! Which makes me sad, being from Wisconsin I was hoping to support Wisconsin's own LandsEnd. Oh well i'm at East Coast gal now!
I heart blogging!
I was looking at some of my favorite blogs and thought why not check out what they like to read. And i found so many wonderful blogs. The ones I'm really getting into are Cottage/decorating blogs, it is so neat to see how everyone decorates their homes. I have already seen so many things i just adore. I wish i would have done this before I moved. I'll just have to tweak a few things!
I have a feeling I'll spend most of my evening blogging, sorry hun!

More pictures
If i worked from home this would be the perfect spot! Good thing one of us does! He has a lot more awards to put on the wall! Giddy up!
This is the den, i like this picture because you can see the slant. And also the Red Sox blanket i made for Music Guy last Easter.
My order has arrived....
FINALLY....My JCrew order is here. And of course I love it all. Go figure! The sweater for Music Guy is super cute, hopefully he too will like it. The jackets are nice, I'll have a mini fashion show with myself when I get home. I just need to hang some more mirrors up to see!
The bus ride this morning was a bit more of what I should expect, now that Turkey Day has passed. It was very busy on the bus, a lot of riders and no one looked happy. I on the other had was very happy. Music Guy updated my iPod so I got to listen to The Fray "How to Save a Life" my whole ride in. Oh, I did mix in some Paolo Nutini "New Shoes", his stuff is great. He is suppose to be better and bigger then James Blunt, and I agree! Music Guy works for a record company and they are putting out Paolo's CD. And it is sooo good.
Because he works in the music business and loves music, I always get to hear the new stuff first, I won't lie I don't always like what he's playing but it's a nice when I do! Speaking of nice things, now that we are shaking up together I get the benefit of his Apple Airport Airtunes (i think that's what it's called). It's so cool, wireless music every place in the house! I am already enjoying it!
We put up some Christmas decorations last night, it looks great, hopefully I'll get a picture up soon!
Busy busy now, i'm sure i'll blog when i get home!

One week ago today....
I was calling the Boston Police Department to tow the cars that hadn't moved from our City parking permit. That's a way to start a Sunday, but you do what ya gotta do!
Last night Music Guys parents, sister and her fiance came over for a little visit. It was the most people we've had in here since we've moved in. It was fun to get together in a new location. His parents stayed the night so it was even nicer when we woke up to have a full house, everyone enjoying a nice warm cup of coffee.
Last night we ordered pizza, Rustic Chicken from Papa Ginos. If you have the chance I would suggest trying it. The pizza has a thin crust and a little parm sprinkle to give it a kick. Yumm!
This afternoon I have a baby shower, Music Guys Mom is one of the three planning it for a good friend of the family. I'm going to meet up with Music Guys sister and we'll head over for some good baby talk.
Then the Pat's game is at 4:15, I can't wait for this game. I hate hate hate Da Bears. GO PATS!
I can't get over we're approaching December, hold on to your mittens kids!
I'm about to enjoy an egg boca sausage breakfast sandwich, thanks Hun!

And another
Here is our coffee table, I normally have sand, shells and a candle in the hurricane. But because it is Christmas and I LOVE this time of year, I have pinecones, green and red smelly thingys. It looks great in person! Oh and of course Denis Leary is looking at you, he's on the cover of the Boston Common.
