So I read an article about how to trace your family information online and I think I'm going to give it a shot. I've printed out my blank pedigree chart so I can fill in all the dates for births, deaths, and marriages and lucky for me in college I had to do family trees for some class. I just have to find where I put those family trees I created. I think my grandma will really like to hear about the results I find since she is NEVER going to get a computer and do this search on her own, even though I know she would be really into it. (She just got cable after many years of protesting that she would never watch that many channels and she loves it, we're taking baby steps with the technology here)

So I've had to get a little creative with shopping in these tough times and the sale racks have become the place where I can get my designer fix without blowing a whole mortgage payment on one thing . The other day I found the most adorable spring handbag on sale at ToryBurch.com. It came in the mail today and now I'm not sure if I can wait for spring to carry it. Although people often say it's ok to wear white at winter now, this is clearly a spring bag and people in the South still don't do the whole white in the winter thing too much anyways. Maybe a nice creamy white coat, but not too much else. Oh I know waiting to carry it will make things even better, but it's so darn cute. I'll have to pack it away in the back of the closet for now because the tempation is almost too much for me to handle.

The electrician comes tomorrow to hang up my new chandelier and move around some other light fixtures. Although I've been a faithful DIY'er so far (except for installing the French Doors, I let the professionals handle that one too) I don't think I can handle electricity. So the handy man comes tomorrow and my Christmas present from my Dad is paying the bill! Can't wait to show the updates.
