I have a little secret....

Boy, that sure got you here quick!  Everyone loves a little secret, don't they?  But I won't count you, YOU just follow my blog on a regular basis and so you just naturally came over to see what I posted....right?  Well, whatever the reason, I guess I'll let you in on MY little secret.....Okay, here it is....Hello, my name is Sonya and I have O.R.D.*

Whew!  Thanks for letting me get that off my back!  I feel better already!  Now I can get on with my post.

Oh.... you don't know what ORD is?  I thought everyone knew?  Well, it's just this little thing commonly known as Obsessive Re-arranging Disorder. {don't you LOVE the name I gave my disorder?  I had to give it some kind of name....there's a disorder for everything these days!} Yep!  That's me!  I LOVE to re-arrange my furniture! Sometimes I go through spells where I re-arrange it once a week... and then I might have a lull where I don't do it for a WHOLE month! {that's when I REALLY start thinking there's something wrong with me!}  Most of the family has accepted my problem.  You might hear things like, "Yea, Mom's ORD has kicked in...again" or "But Mom, I wanted to go outside and play.... do we HAVE to re-arrange, again?".  Nothing like child-labor! {for those who don't know me very well, I am kidding, just  a little bit...}

Okay, enough about my problem.  Do you want to hear the really good news?  Well, since I have this silly disorder, I just happened to re-arrange this week and I got a new SEWING ROOM! I am LOVING it!  It's actually the whole fam's sewing room {us girls at least}  and it doubles as my office.  It is just GREAT!  See, I was a woman without a room.  My poor office and sewing stuff just couldn't find the right place to fit in.  It was sad.  But not anymore!  I even have a window that looks out back where I can watch the kids playing outside.  Yeah, those kids can now run and play without any worries about Mom dragging them back inside to re-arrange, again {for now, anyway}.  I will post a picture of my new room, eventually, so you can be excited with me.  For now though, I am going to sit here and enjoy my coffee in my new room.  Y'all come back, ya hear.

*there is no support group for this disorder.  If you need help, well, your just out of luck!

A beautiful day in the neighborhood

The weather way down here in the good 'ole South has been MAGNIFICENT!  In our few years of living down here I don't think I've seen it go from nearly 100 degrees to 72 degrees in such a short amount of time.  It was like squelching summer one day and the next it was the most beautiful fall weather imaginable!  We are loving every minute of it.  I am hoping that this bit of early fall {at least for us southerners} doesn't mean we are going to have a long, cold winter.  I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

Well, my Christmas projects are coming along... sorta.  Not as quick as I'd like, but I am making some progress.  I hope to have a majority of it finished within a month. {hopefully}

We also watched Tim Hawkin's new DVD Insanitized last weekend with friends and family... It was HILARIOUS!  He makes me laugh until I cry.  If you haven't seen it yet, it will definitely be worth your while.

It has been so much fun watching Liberty as she gains her confidence in walking.  She has even tried out a couple of "dance" moves!  Yesterday was her first time to walk around outside, {actually I think it was the first time she has really worn shoes!} and she had such a fun time of it, and of course she didn't want to come in!  I love watching her wonder and amazement at even the smallest of things.  We could learn a lot from the wee ones!
