25 Things + help

Hey everybody!  Yes, I've, once again, been a little scarce around here.  I'm sorry for being off and on so much, especially if you're a new reader.  For those who've been around for a while you probably remember this post from September.  Well I'm not going to write one of those again.

Shaunna at Perfectly Imperfect has started doing a "25 things" post and I love it.  So yes, I am copying her.

1. I'm really liking that it's been in the mid 70's in February.  Bring.On.Spring.
2. I will miss wearing my boots once it is warm though.  I already miss them.
3. I'm taking Spanish 102 right now.  It is the hardest thing in the world for my brain to understand.
4. Other than Biology...which I had to take 3 times in college.
5. This Spanish class is the last class I have to take to officially have my degree.
6. Yes, I walked during the graduation ceremony and threw my hat and all that jazz w/o really having a degree.
7. When I am finished with this I think I deserve something...I'm not sure what, but something {and yes, I know that sounds selfish/vein}.
8. I'm ready to start painting furniture again.  Taking these last three classes + winter = not a lot of outdoor painting.
9. My best friend is having her second baby in March and I'm going to Virginia to help her decorate the nursery in a few weeks!
10. And have a TON of girl time!
11. But it kills me that they won't find out the gender...sorry Anna, you know I love you :)
12. Speaking of babies, I'm having to face the reality that my "baby" is closer to being two than one now...
13. I'm also having to face the facts that MOMMY wasn't ready to potty train.  G might be ready, but I'm not.
14. I have about 5 shows recorded on DVR that I'm dying to watch.
15. I haven't watched them mainly because they're all pretty much trash and the hubs likes to minimize it to one trashy show per night...geez, live a little!
16. He does watch the Bachelor with me, so I can't complain too much {he might die if he reads this}.
17. He's taking me out on a swanky valentine's date on Friday while we have free baby sitting {my parents}.
18. I'm also trying to talk him into going to see The Vow.  I'm such a sap sometimes.
19. I'm really wanting to totally redecorate my house right now.  Not because I don't like what's in there, but because I feel like I'm constantly "evolving".
20. My mom laughs at me when I use that term.  Mainly because she knows I'm just looking for a reason to redecorate.
21. I'm itching for a Kilim rug {and/or pillow} some where in my house.  Mainly the living room or master.
22. I would love one in navy and coral.  I'm really into navy right now...REALLY into navy.
23. I also just got the most rad brass lamps and I'm totally in love.
24. I want to buy NAVY ikat fabric and cover a drum lamp shade for them.
25. G has been waking up in the middle of the night with night terrors, so she comes and finishes the night in our room...I not-so secretly love our little family all waking up together.

So because I am in the middle of the hardest.class.ever right now, I'm begging you blogging ladies to help a girl out!
