Unfortunately, I think I have a kidney infection and can barely lift him right now so he went to Grandma's for the day. This is what I get for ignoring the pains I've been having in my back/pelvic area for almost a month. The Dr. gave me antibiotics which make me sick in other ways, to make it even better. I am sitting on the couch trying not to move and feeling sorry for my self. I have so many things to do, I can't be sick!! The house is slipping into disorder. Matt isn't home until 11 so I have no company either :( waaaah lol. I bought some cheap VHS at the flea market on Sunday so I am going to snuggle up in bed and drown my sorrows in Saved and 13 Going on Thirty. And possibly even School of Rock.
Yesterday I picked up a couple cute things at Value Village aka VV Boutique. I really need to get some pics of my growing vintage owl collection and the other random things I have found at flea markets/garage sales/VV lately. I found a baby book from the 50's-60's at the flea market the other day for TWO DOLLARS. Never used! The art in it is FAB!
Anyways.... onto the BBC post for the day.. since I haven't done one in a while. Today we are to talk about our 5 favorite tools. I am not sure if this means actual tools like hammers and saws, scrapbooking tools, or what. So I am choosing the items that come in the most handy for me in day to day life (not in any particular order)
My Dyson. I love, love, love this vacuum. Got it on boxing day on sale (yeah!) and it was quite possibly the best $450 I ever spent. Yes, expensive, but sooo very worth it. The first time I used it, my rugs actually became a lighter color than I thought they were. I love how easy it is to empty ad that I don't have to use bags. I love how easy it is to carry around (the handle on the top of the canister is awesome)and that the hose clips to the machine, so you don't have a big ole plastic hose flopping around while you vacuum.
Cutter Bee Scissors. I loooove, love these. They are small, easy to maneuver, accurate, and relatively cheap. They don't hurt my hands at all which many larger scissors do. I am no good with an exacto style knife so I cut out all of my tiny details with these scissors.
Adtech Glue Runner. Available at Walmart for $4 intitially and then $4 for two refills. Sooo cheap and great! I am able to always have multiple refills around because the price is so low, and I don't worry about using 'too much adhesive' on anything. I even used these on my wedding invites!
This pink Kitchenaid Knife. I use this knife almost every time I cook. It is soo amazing at chopping, carving, or anything else you want to do with a knife lol. Plus, it is PINK.
... and I can't come up with a 5th. I'm tired now.. so off to bed with me.. watch for some posts soon about re-decorating my living room. I am in serious need of help.

Ack! Kidney infections are no fun. I have them about once a month, and had kidney stones two years ago! Note: you DON'T want kidney stones. One of them got caught and ripped one of my renal tubes.
But, in other news I want that knife. Cory and I struggle with our 25 cent flea market knives, but we need something BETTER
I hope you are feeling better soon! Happy fourth month to your little one. I am sure Grammy is loving the quality time!
I have to get me one o those Dyson's!
I got it at sears, marked down half price because it was pink. I do not consider being pink a defect, obviously :P
It cuts so well..... my other knives are crappy, so I cherish it and sometimes hug it, but then it cuts me.
BTW what is a renal tube? And how do you know if you have kidney stones?
I want one of those vacuums. I have been seeing them advertised on T.V. They look like they would be much better at vacuuming than a regular vacuum. Hope you feeling better, happy 4 months to your son. By the way, he's beautiful!
Hey hun!
Hope you feel better soon! Your renal tubes connect your kidneys to your bladder...i can only imagine the pain of one of those ripping *shudder*...
You rest up and take some time to heal...no living room organizing!!!
Miss you and wish i lived there so i could bring you some soup and watch Saved with you..such a good movie!
Oh I'm totally wishing you felt better! Glad you posted that pink knife though, how cute is that! Now I have to have one. I'd say the same about the Dyson, but I'd only be dreaming. Maybe if I put it on my wedding registry someone will buy it for me....hmmm....there I go dreaming again....oh well
love the dyson. i have the all floor (yellow) one - got it as a Christmas present. With children, who can live without scissors - useful in the kitchen and throughout the house for other little jobs.
I hope you get feeling better!!! Remember to take care of yourself so you are there for your little guy.
Excellent list!!! And take care of that kidney infection I have had 3 or 4 of them and they sure are no fun!!!
xxxx
You have kidney stones when you feel like your insides have exploded. I thought my appendix busted, it was very sudden and the most insanely overwhelming thing.
I'm sure you will be fine. I blame my drinking at University..
also, I just bought that knife at Sears. I'm such a copy cat!
Great list and I like how you have the vacuum #1!
I had no idea that Kitchen Aid made knives.
Hope you are feeling better soon.
