Then and now...Valentines day and new adventures...

Its been so long since I have written and I have not because well.. for awhile there I didn't find anything we were doing all that interesting. Once again we have decided to stay in our current apartment. I redid the living room as a reward for staying. lol...josh bought me new black leather couch's for Christmas so that helped the "look" and I spoiled him with a new big screen TV. So we will probably not be getting each other presents for the next 10 years trying to recover from how much we spent this last Christmas. lol...
Josh and I are slowly but surely taking steps to make sure that Josh's tool gets on the market if its the last thing we do. There is just so much to do and know before you can even get the tool patented. Not to mention the money out of pocket it takes for a couple pieces of paper. Like $6,000 and that is super cheap supposedly for a patent. Not to mention all the money it will cost to build the tool. Yikes! We may be living in a box for awhile. hehe Josh has had two mentors helping him along the way...hopefully he will continue to be helped through this very confusing process...I want to help but I know nothing about tools and patents. I am hopeful this will work out and at the very least have the tool for josh to use!
I am getting back into couponing, since I was on medifast I did not feel much like shopping for food I could not eat. But I trying to get back into the swing of things. Josh for Valentine's day helped with this. I wanted a peg board thing to hang all the items I got that need to be hung up (yes like in the store) I did'nt know what it was called but josh did and  I had only mentioned it once before. lol he told the guys at work what he had got me and they thought he was crazy. lol he replied "You don't know my wife she will LOVE it" lol and I do! I was so excited about it! I feel so much more organized. Check it out!
That night we had our amazing version of "death by steak" or steak with a blue cheese onion cheese sauce. We used pepperjack cheese instead of blue cheese though bbq'd by josh and I treated up to chocolate fondue that was soooo good!!!!!!!!!We just made way to much!!
We started a new side buisness. Buying a selling used furniture and making it look new again. I love love love it so far...exept for dealing with the weird people on craiglist. I hate all the spamers. Like last night I probably e-mail back and forth with this older couple or so I thought for over 2 hours. They even went as far to pretend they didnt know how to use paypal and paid the wrong e-mail address lindseyryan@hotmail.com ryan with an A instead of ryen with an E. Then accuse me of getting the payment. It was very suspcious. So I decided phone calls are the only thing I will accept from now on. Anyway, so far it has been something so fun for me to keep busy with and make us some extra money. I hope to eventually just do this full time. I love it.



We are selling stuff like this...that keep in mind before they looked like this they needed ALOT of TLC!!! Now look at them...
