High Five for Friday- Round Two

Hello, so here is the second edition to my HF4F. I'm linking up with Lauren once again. Well this week was kind of a drag. Nothing super crazy was happening in my life but, I did manage to find five things that were sort of exciting. Again no pictures but I swear I will learn to post them.

1. Last Friday my sister Karen and her family came by for a swim. We introduced my nephew and niece to Red Letter Media and the Plinket reviews on Star Wars. We really need to finish those with them. They make up for the crap that episode 1-3 was.

2. On Saturday I went and got my licence renewed and finally after 1 year and 5 months of marriage I finally changed my name. I am officially Paula Michelle Vaughan. I really felt that needed to be in Bold. Here's hoping my picture came out nice. I always thought that for some reason you couldn't smile in your photo, so me with my permanent frown always looked horrible. Not this time though I smiled and put on makeup, the whole nine yards. (I've never gotten the reference before. Are there 9 yards on a football field?). Point is I will either look good or look like a street hooker. If its the latter then I may change my line of work. (hahaha) However I now have to wait 4 weeks before I get it and see what the end result is. Maybe I will show the before and after once I get it in the mail, especially if it looks bad. I may as well laugh at myself a little, and share it with the world.

3. I started painting the trim and the doors last weekend. No one would ever notice the difference to the trim I'm sure, but I notice it and LOVE it. Once I'm done the trims and doors it will be extremely dramatic. I'm going with super white trim, dark brown doors and the handles and hinges are being spray painted black. (Pictures to follow)

4. I created my own Chocolate Chip Cookie cupcakes. Yep its a totally new invention that I came up with I swear. OK probably not. Really I just made cookies but put them in the cupcake baking pan. The point is they came out delicious and Richard eats them like crazy. Last night I made another dozen for the 3rd time.

5. Shavon came over yesterday and we both went to the gym together. She's way stronger then I am so she can handle a lot more then me but shes a good motivator and pushes me to try harder. I'm going by her work tomorrow to check out new running shoes for Richard and I and to look into some new work out clothes. Our next gym workout it Monday, which is awesome. We are going to try and keep each other on track and motivated. Its nice to have a gym buddy again. :) Looking forward to getting Richard down there as well.

Well that's it for me. I have so many things planned for this weekend, some of which may not even happen. I tend to make long lists of things that need to do and then only half of them ever get done. Tonight I'm out with some of my old work buddies from when I worked at M-O. Tomorrow I have to get a new health card, go to sportschek, pick Richard up from work and get our taxes done, and go grocery shopping. Then on Sunday I have a day/night date planned for Richard and I. Should be exciting!
