This is my desk in my kitchen. What you don't see is the kitchen table behind it that is inundated with papers, binders, bills, and files. We live in a house that has plenty of living space yet for some reason, we spend the majority of our time in the kitchen/family room. I spent the last couple of days organizing and thinking how best to use this space and the remainder of the 4000 sq ft. in my home. This is what I have done...... Planning on adding something on the top *kid art* possibly from the craft room I removed all my binders of my organizations that I am involved with, that freed up an entire shelf. I then organized my cook books, which believe it or not, I actually use. I will begin using my craft room upstairs as my project room for girl scouts and national charity league. I even have a tv being moved their so that I can actually work while catching up on shows or just having an old movie on for comfort while I...
Our annual Christmas Party with the lovely ladies I volunteer with at Cypress-Woodlands Junior Forum, on December 8th. The venue was a new one for us at the Wild Stallions Winery in Spring. Beautiful location and the food was the best in all the years I have attended. Wearing my Christmas skirt I bought on Ebay last year and had to take it to the tailors for resizing.

While we enjoyed the Christmas festivities in Houston our lovely husbands were in Austin due to the weather. Needless to say they also had a fun time on 6th street. They flew home the next morning once the nasty weat...
Where do I start? Better yet, where did I end last time? I have been trying to focus on exercise and watching my portions. I gave up on eating healthy. I love cheese, wine and beef too much to let it go. And when I say beef, I mean Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, and anything else you can process. I have gained a total of 9 pounds since February of last year. But I think that isn't so bad if you saw all the yummy things I have been eating and not denying myself. Why in fact, (bragging now and probably gained another pound as I type this) we hunted down The Cupcake Cowgirls and devoured their award winning cupcake Vanilla Salted Carmel cupcake on Saturday. I happend to come across their business card at a Lisa's Boutique and just had to try out these cupcakes. I think that when I die if I am to be buried (I prefer cremation) but my kids want a gravesite. I want it to read : Here Lies Marylinda Cohron Lover of Cupcakes and other scrump...
