A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That

Let me tell you how wonderful my husband is! Knowing I was in a gloomy mood yesterday, he stopped by a flower shop on the way home and brought me this.

Isn't that the cutest little flower you've ever seen.
A single rose in a little red pot.
I told him it reminded me of Little Shop of Horrors
"feed me Seymour."

I absolutely love it!

Yesterday was kind of a bummer day. I was so sad to see my brother leave, but I know he'll be able to come visit again sometime this year. I guess I just enjoy having visitors and spending time with family. Of course after about a week or two I'm ready for them to leave ;) (Totally kidding, but really.) When they leave it makes me miss Oklahoma that much more.

But, at the end of the day, I am just so lucky and blessed to have such an amazing, caring, and thoughtful husband. (Among many other adjectives I could fill this entire post with.) He's been so great lately, I've gotten flowers twice in the last month and he hasn't done this since we first started dating! I must be doing something right, I have been cooking a lot more lately and making some awesome dinners. Maybe that's it ;)

As you probably know from reading my blog, Jon and I LOVE movies. And since we don't have satellite TV (personal choice) we watch A LOT of movies. Yesterday I popped over to the movie rental place and grabbed a couple new releases. First, Burn After Reading which we've already seen, but an excellent choice I must say. Second, Lakeview Terrace.

Awesome flick guys, action packed and as the back of the DVD so perfectly states "a tense and exciting thriller." You should definitely check it out. I think Samuel L. is such a great actor. I kept grabbing onto Jon's leg and asking him what was going to happen! YA I'm that person who asks really annoying questions even though he's never seen the movie either. Or I scream out what I think is going to happen. (I'm usually right!)
Rent it!

Question/advise

Hubby is having problems sleeping at night. He wakes up smack dab in the middle of the night wide awake and can't go back to sleep. He just wakes up and stares at the ceiling for hours, with nothing serious on his mind. I asked him if he is worrying about something or if anything is bothering him and he says he's completely fine, that everything is great, he just doesn't understand why he wakes up like this. Last night he did it again. He has no idea why this is happening and last night he had nothing on his mind, other than the fact that he couldn't sleep.

Well this in turn keeps me awake and last night we just ended up watching a movie at 3:00 a.m.
Does anyone have any suggestions or advice to help him sleep. Are there herbal vitamins or something to that effect that he can take. He's not to keen on taking any serious sleeping meds. He gets so frustrated because he is so tired during the day after not being able to sleep at night. Today we are both dragging.
Thanks to any advice

Ooh also, I was reading my Domino magazine the other day and saw a cute idea for old wine bottles. Since Jon and I drink wine on a regular basis (almost every night) we have a numerous wine bottles around. I grabbed three of my favorite that are green glass and turned them into these.

I soaked the wine labels off with warm sudsy water.

I thought they brought some fun color to my kitchen and I love the green. The squatty bottle in front is a wine bottle too, isn't that crazy. It actually looks like a vase and I think that is why Jon and I bought it. We often do that with wine. If we find a bottle we really like, we snag in and hope the wine is worth drinking.

Well I'm off. Lots to do today. I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday! TGIF. I am so happy it is Friday ;)
