ever?

ever had a headache that lasted 72 hours, at least 12 advil, massive amounts of tea, aromatherapy, physical activity, 6 aspirin, and 2 hydrocodone? ugh welcome to my life and i didn't even eat gluten or do anything fun enough to deserve this

seen a license plate that says "you think i'm ugly, you should see my kids" Husb and I did yesterday and we want to get them for every holiday party of the season

labor day

labor day '09

the day something was hung on the walls of our new abode

more to come

trash or treasure

today on the way home from some errands i stopped by the DI to fuel my vintage milk glass obsession, etsy shop, and because i am on a quest to find bamboo * chippendale chairs that look like the jonathan adler ones minus thousands of dollars.

I saw what seems to be this exact yellow chair but thought "eh...sick"... I come home hit my round of Design blogs and see this Kelly Wearstler room! so maybe after some steam and bleach I could love this chair?!

*i did find a fab hollywood regency style bamboo mag rack and side table, if you are good I will show you the transformation

Cait, we may have to go back for this chair tomorrow and a dresser I saw that I could not handle but you could make look fab!

regularly scheduled

whoa..i never really reveal that much in blog posts, unless it is about my g.i. tract. i sometimes write serious blog posts in my head but never actually post them. this post will be more what we are use to.

*Someone in my fam sent me this picture because of my need to reduce, reuse, recycle, re-purpose.


*I just finally let Oscar back in the house, earlier this morning I saw him rolling in something gross, just a pile of earth worms, so i gave him a hose bath. I thought he might be dry so i unhooked him and instead of him running into the house he ran to the neighbors I ran inside to get a banana to coax him back i get back outside and he is running like a bat out of h and the neighbor is saying he has the bear. Oscar runs back into their house with the babys favorite bear and i see that she has friends over for a playgroup this reminds me that i am in my pj's. I finally get the bear away and he takes another stuffed animal, i get that away and as we gracefully leave a mother (a neighbor i have yet to meet) says say bye to the dog to her baby in her arms and oscar barks right at him causing said baby to start bawling.

case of the Mons

today i am in a funk.

Not the kind of funk where you get mad and cry over little things, like the husband eating all of your Organic Blue Chips before you were even awake and put the bag back in the pantry with only crumbs left, because you had looked in the pantry and decided hummus and blue chips would make everything better and then you open the bag....ugh this infamous funk lasted about 9 hours and was 2 fridays ago.

today's funk is more: why is my house still not the way i want it, i will never find an enjoyable fulfilling job that will let me work less than 40 hrs a week, i have bad cramps, feeling bad for myself cause i won't see husband til thursday, why can't the dog let himself out, why don't they make gluten-free oreo's kind of funk. really important in the scheme of things stuff like that.

at least i have started to try and de-funk; i showered, i am making myself leave the house and go to the post office to mail an etsy order, pilates reformer class at 4:30. hopefully a chipotle or luna's date after pilates will seal the deal.
