I’m loving my little kitchen in my apartment. I’m so glad that I have a decent sized one that I can actually move around in and use for some real entertaining. I’m starting to be quite the little homemaker, except I’m only making a home for myself. And I have to say that it’s a pretty awesome little home.

I love doing extra things when I’m preparing my food, like setting the table even though I’m the only one. I also love cooking with an apron on, but my old one was starting to fall apart so I decided to make a new one. When I was browsing craft blogs and apron patterns I found some info on debt counseling options. That’s a personal finance issue that I’ve had for a few years and I know that I have to take care of it because no one else will. So I’m going to get some counseling and help my financial situation.

I fell in love with this one cute apron and knew that I had to make it for myself. I also found some great fabric that matches my kitchen curtains, so it’s fate!

This is the time of year that I love. Today the Super Bowl will be played and I have been looking forward to it for a long time. I am having some friends over to the house for the event and I know that everyone will be as excited as I am. We will have some food so everyone can eat.

This kind of event only happens once a year and so we plan to make the most of it. There will something for everyone I believe. I am fortunate to have a large house and so we will have plenty of room. I am sure it will all go well.

In California, there is such a laid back lifestyle compared to where we used to live. Where we live now, everyone dresses a lot more casual and doesn’t seem to worry about things in general so much. They kind of go with the flow. I am not saying that everything in California is much slower to catch on to things. In fact the people out here seem to be on the cutting edge of everything. It seems like people in California get the newest fashions first, or any kind of new gadget or toy always seem to show up here first. I kind of like that about living out here. But as laid back as everyone is here, I still feel like we need to be aware of our surroundings and be on the lookout for crazy people who may not have our best interests at heart. Where we used to live we always kept all our homedoors locked all the time and quite frankly lived with the fear that someone may break in at any time. Out here it is way different, and I don’t feel that way so much. But to be on the safe side, we got a security system through home security California. At least I can feel comfortable and not worry about any intruders in our home even though it seems there is not that much to worry about out here.

My sister owes me BIG! I spent all weekend helping her move into her new home. Like everything else, she was ready to buy a house at just the opportune time for a buyer. She got a huge house, in a super nice neighborhood for such a reasonable price it wasn’t even funny. My sister always has the best luck! She could pick random numbers and play the lottery and probably hit the jackpot on her first try. That’s just how she rolls. We all joke about it but it’s so true. So she found this steal of a house, bought it and moved in (with a whole lot of help from yours truly). Since she’s living by herself, she asked me to research HOME Security systems DC for her. She wants peace of mind and a better feeling of safety. She’s all set up now and called to thank me for all my help earlier tonight. She’s welcome, but she still owes me big. I’ll let her pay me back sometime! I’m a nice sister like that!

When we got our alarm system we decided to go with home alarms because we ended up getting the best deal. We got it last year around Christmas time because there had been several burglaries in our neighborhood. We usually visit our daughter in Charleston, and it is pretty easy to tell when we are not at home for the holidays. A while back while my husband and I were working, we got a call from the alarm company that our alarm had been set off and that they were calling the police because the individual in the house did not provide the correct password. I was totally frightened and rushed home. By the time I got there, my husband and the police were already there. I saw them outside talking to my daughter with a hand full of groceries who looked obviously distraught. She had driven three hours to surprise us for the weekend and completely forgot that we had gotten an alarm system. Needless to say, it was not the surprise she anticipated, but we were very happy to see her.
