We ordered a deep freezer the week before the first Feb blizzard struck. The delivery got cancelled due to the snow. The delivery was rescheduled for the following weekend, but that is when the second blizzard hit and the city was shut down for a week. So.....another cancellation. Well, the freezer was finally delivered on Friday. Yay! I am hoping that this will help us save money in the long run. I usually have to go to the store a couple of times a week to buy stuff because our fridge freezer is so small. It was nice to actually go to Sam's and take advantage of the frozen food bulk buys.

Smells Good
I was having one of those days (weeks) where I needed some kind of retail therapy. As soon as I walked into the store, I saw this on a display table. It is Halle Berry's newest perfume, Halle by Halle Berry-Pure Orchid. It smells good. Unlike her first perfume, which I did not like, this one is more floral. It's not heavy and could be worn every day. And since I paid less than $15 for it (0.5 oz), I think I did good! Much better than turning to food for a pick me up.

OH NO! MORE SNOW!!!!
Well.....as though 3 blizzards within the same number of months wasn't enough. They are forecasting more snow for this week. An "accumulating" snow. So...we will see what's going to happen. Here is a picture from the last snow storm.
The snow was so deep that it came up to the bottom of this bench.

My House Smells Yummy
About a week I received my warmer and scents from Scentsy. This is the Lotus warmer and I picked it because it matches my living room furniture. Right now, I have the Green Tea Smoothie wax in there. It. Smells. Good.



You put the wax scents in the warmer and the light bulb inside melts the wax. It is safer than candles and you can leave it plugged in for hours.

Ambi Update
I had high hopes for the Ambi but.....it doesn't seem to be working. So...I don't know, maybe I will go back to what I did in high school. I just used Noxzema and followed with an astringent. I will give it a few days before I make a decision. Kelly said I should try Proactiv. We'll see.
Mice....ugh!!!
Ok, we've had mice on and off since the summer. We put out the traps and glue sticks and that seemed to do the trick. For the past few weeks though, we have not been able to catch the mouse(mice) that we knew were in here. It was like they would go EVERYWHERE except where the traps were. Well....about 5:30 this morning, I heard hubby get up and go in my stepson's room. They were discussing something and I couldn't hear everything, but I heard the word mouse. About 15 min later, my hubby came back into our room and said that the mouse had been in there. So....of course, I can't sleep at that point. I just hate the thought of a critter roaming around my space. It gives me the heebie jeebies. Anyway, my stepson sends us a msg that says the mouse just ran out of his room. At this point we start watching the bottom of our bedroom door which has a space of about an inch at the bottom. Sure enough.....we see the little critter run into our room. It runs behind the clothes basket so we start poking the basket and it runs into the bathroom. Well...my hubby decides to trap it in the bathroom. We close the door and shove a towel under the bottom of the door so that it can't get out. Hubby at this point says that he's going back to sleep and he will deal with it later. So....since I know where the mouse is and know that it can't get out...I go to sleep too. Later that morning.....hubby caught it in a box and took it outside. Whew! I am relieved.....for now, because I know that for the one we caught....there's probably a bunch more. Ugh!!

Our blog name
The front of this Valentine's card says "Once upon a time, there were 2 sisters...". And in an act of weird cosmic magic, Kelly and I bought each other this card for Valentine's day. I got mine in the mail the day before she got hers and laughed out loud when I saw it. It was perfect because inside it says that no matter what, the sisters remained close and lived happily ever after. That sums us up in a nutshell. No matter what, we've always been there for each other and we always will.
