Organzing

We live a two bedroom apt., one of which is basically just storage. But we decided to buy some great shelves for our food storage so that we could actually see all that we had and to open up the room.
The funniest was that when we were all finished, Andrew's comment was, "It looks like a store, but not for the public."



Hooray for more floor space!

November

Hi Friends and Family! This year has been going by SO fast. I have a student teacher right now that has been awesome! She is so helpful and let's face it, I love being able to chat with someone all day. I've never liked doing things by myself. Don't get me wrong, of course I like "me" time, and I'm finding that I'm a home-body. But, when it comes to work, I love working with other adults. :)
Most of my life I have had short hair, but with encouragement from Andrew and the girl that cuts my hair, I have been growing it out. So I have the before and after pictures of it. I also got some low lights. We discovered that my hair pulls red so I actually had to go back and get it fixed. The total process from beginning to end was 41/2 hours (over a course of two days). I don't know if it was worth it, but it's done. Good thing hair grows!



I do like to ccok...but not when I'm tired. When I was young, I remember my mom beginning to prepare dinner when I arrived home from school...about 4 o'clock. I've decided that that is a great idea because if you wait when you are hungry you either snack along the way and are full when dinner is ready to be served, or you have cereal. Since getting married, I have tried to make real meals (not cereal or sandwiches). I'm usually tired and starving when I get home from work, so I have found myself making meals that take 30 minutes or less. :) Anyway, so I was proud that I thought of this pizza meal while grocery shopping. I actually have seen these before on bagels and I'm sure that on the muffins too...but I was proud so I wanted to post. Anyway, these little pizzas were cute, fun and a big hit in the Long household.
