A little bit of this and a little bit of that...

Peter had to work this weekend and so he was gone most of yesterday. I had spent the day cleaning the house, which I hadn't really done in weeks, and was exhausted by the time Peter got home and dinner time rolled around. I convinced Peter that we should go out to eat since both of us were too tired to make dinner. So we all hopped in the gay mini (yes, I am still calling it that!) with me driving incase Peter got paged and needed to call the hospital. So as I am backing out of the garage I am only paying attention to the passanger side of the car because I want to be sure not to hit the passenger side mirror on the side of the garage. Well, all of the sudden I hear this strange, crunchy scraping sound. At first I just thought it was the tires rubbing against the snow pack on our driveway so I kept backing out. Then within seconds I realize that it's not the tires making the scraping sound, it's the drivers side of the van backing into the passenger side mirror on Peter's car that is parked on the driveway. OOPS! Luckily it didn't do too much damage to either car. The mirror on Peter's car is a little loose but that's it. And the van...well the van has a nice 4-5 foot scratch on the side with a little dent. My first accident, well atleast the first one where it was my fault. Sorry honey! (I highlighted it below by wiping the dirt and salt off with a wet paper towel. It is still hard to see but atleast you get an idea of how long it is and how dirty the car is.)

We also painted our room last weekend and got new bedroom furniture thanks to President Bush and his tax-rebate present. I know it was a bit premature since the rebates aren't suppose to come until May but I will have a new baby in May and no time to paint or spend money.

It is hard to tell in the picture but the walls are a grey-blue color and the furniture is a creamy white. We both think it has a beach house feel to it. It still needs some more decorations. Some pictures and hopefully some new lamps. But atleast we got the major portion of it done before baby comes and turns me into a hermit.

The girls are both getting excited about having a new little sister. Bella is already playing well with baby no name. She will push lightly on my belly three times with her hand and then wait a second and baby will push back. She has been able to play this game with her a couple of times now and is convinced that the baby knows what she is doing and is very smart for her young gestation age.

And for my last little bit I have to tell you who was in our sacrament meeting today at church. Donny Osmond! His nephew is in our ward and was blessing his baby boy today. I was totally star struck when I saw him and since Peter wasn't with me to join in my surprise I found myself looking around the chapel trying to make eye contact with as many people as I could and mouth the words "it's Donny Osmond". Luckily he only stayed for sacrament meeting and didn't come to my sunday school class, that would have been too much.

I'm sorry I wasn't in your sacrament meeting for you to mouth to -- that would have been a fun thing.

Your bedroom looks like a great place for hermiting, it turned out nice and I'm sure that you'll find the perfect accessories.

Sorry about the gay-mini, but how long could you expect to keep it nice if you're calling it that?! The car has ears.

I love your room.....did you match the wall colors to your bed sheets? It looks fabulous! It's a very nice place to hermit....it does look beachy which is a nice break from all this snow.
I couldn't believe how short Donny was....I almost didn't think it was him.
Sorry about the van....if it makes you feel better I did something similar just after we got our van. yikes!

LOVE your bedroom! i'm always trying to make my house feel more "beachy".

Yeah, I blogged about Donny Osmond too! I was trying to make eye contact with people too when I saw him, but it was hard because I was up on the stand, and didn't want everyone to see me gawking over him! LOL!

I really love your new bedroom set - it does have a beach house feel to it. Nice!

I'm sorry about your van! Jarom and I have both made similar mistakes like (while backing out of the garage/parking spaces) that in our lifetime! In fact, if you look at the side of our Civic, you'll see the nice dent that Jarom made a few months ago! I can give him a hard time about it because we don't have any evidence of the cars that I've damaged - we sold them a long time ago! ha, ha!

I love your new bedroom furniture! So cute!

You should have attacked Donny in the aisle and asked for his autograph! hee hee

Sorry about the van, if it makes you feel any better the LR has a small scratch on the side...plus I ran over one of our lights outside. You've been calling it the "gay mini?!!!" I'm laughing...

p.s. My Utah trip got cancelled. Bad voodoo when you can't see all your friends apparently!!!

I can't believe I missed Donny, I guess everyone saw him but me. I remember when our Odyssey was brand spankin' new and the windshield cracked, a neighbor kid jumped on the hood and dented it, and a mysterious object hit the driver door on the freeway. It's Heavenly Father's way of reminding us that they're just "things". And lastly...also moving here from Seattle, Carrie's parents have a "beach" room in their house that is so comfy. You'll either have to see it or we can take some pictures for you to get some ideas. It's nice.

I love the room. It definently looks like a beach house. I'm so mad I didn't see Donny. I would have been freaking out! Thank you so much for the boxes! You guys are GREAT!

Lauren said...

Mindy you are hilarious. Thanks for this post...I too wish I could have been in church with you.

I love your bedroom...our master bathroom has a beach feel and it is slowly making its way into the bedroom. It is so calming and peaceful...I can't wait to see it in real life. I hope to see you in May...either nice and round or holding a new little bundle!

kelly said...

wow, lots of news in your blog.
i wish i could have seen donny, too cool!
love your beachy room! looks very calming.
sorry about your gay-mini, i just did the exact same thing a couple months ago. i went tearing out of the garage and hit rob's brand new infiniti. so we both have little dents in our new cars. sigh...

Jill said...

Your bedroom looks so nice. So sorry to hear about your cars. I am just waiting to do that to Chad's truck. He also complains I park crooked. Sam, I missed Donny too if it makes you feel any better. Chad told me to look when he was leaving, but I was too late!

Ang said...

Mindy, has a whole week gone by without me checking your blog and hoping to see something new!?! I always love getting a Mindy update. And having seen the bedroom in person, I can say that it looks really great.
