I finally talked to my mother in law last night.. first time since she went back to Colorado last month. It was nice talking to her, but she was telling me about all the upgrades they’re doing on their new house and I found myself a little jealous, hehe.

One of the things they did was upgrade to a gorgeous Hansgrohe faucet. We had some really modern faucets in our last house.. from the kitchens to the bathrooms. I told her that the faucet we had in the kitchen in our Florida house spoiled me. It was one of those ones that you can pull off and switch the sprays. Apparently that’s the exact kind they got. JEALOUS!! We have an old nasty faucet here. As I say time and time again, I cannot WAIT to buy a house!

With my husband staying on the East Coast and telling me how beautiful it is every day, I’m more and more tempted to eventually make a trip out there. I always see stuff online about Outer Banks vacation rentals and I decided to look into it a little bit. There’s a company called Carolina Designs who leases out a lot of these GORGEOUS vacation homes out there. The prices are really reasonable which surprised me. I’ve always wanted to go on a vacation with friends and family and this would be the perfect opportunity. The one house in particular that caught my eye has a private pool and hot tub! Oh, I’d be in heaven. Add that to the fact that there is a VIDEO LIBRARY and a gameroom/sports bar with a pool table. It has a grill outside, as well as amenities for the little guests like a high chair and even a pack n play (That’s one less thing to drag with you, moms).

The more and more I look at this stuff, the more I’m tempted to just start driving, haha. Of course we’d need to plan it all, but cost wise it’s really reasonable and a week there would just melt my stress away. I think perhaps I’ll go talk to the hubby about the idea.

I’ve started drinking wine. We used to drink beer if we decided to have anything, and we’d usually have a bottle of rum around for if we wanted a mixed drink, or if we had friends over. Well, recently I’ve been trying to take better care of myself, but I do enjoy a drink sometimes. So, after doing my research, I decided to try drinking wine. I’ve tried a few different kinds, but I haven’t yet decided what I really like the best. Wine is the one alcohol that can actually be included into a diabetic diet. Of course, getting drunk every night off wine is not what they’re talking about.. maybe 1-2 glasses sometimes.

So far I’ve tried a chardonnay, which I did like. Also a merlot which was okay.. those were both wines I tested in the store. I recently bought a different bottle so we’ll see how that goes. It is quite tasty now that I’m finding more or less what I enjoy more.
