A Lot of Nothing

Fell in love with THIS skirt.

Cried watching this movie.

Made THIS cake.


Started reading this book.
What a great weekend I had filled with exactly the things I wanted to do.
Welcome to Monday!

P.S. It's very dark and gloomy here in Washington today. I'm doing my best not to let it get me down. I hate it. Funny, the sun is an incredible drug!

It's FFF (Fabulous Fashion Friday)

First...

I took my kids to McSicko last night. That was a stupid choice. There was some kind of Mcfundraiser going on. The place was upchuck full Mcbrats. Lu spilled her Mcdrink TWICE. Yes, I said TWICE. They screwed up our Mcorder. I ate a Big Mac. Another stupid choice. Ronald McDonald showed up out of the blue and scared the crap out of all of us. (Human clowns=nightmares.) The place was so noisy my head was pounding. I hate McDonald's. And for the record, their fries suck. So why do we continue to go there? Mom's all over the world are asking the same question.

This red belt is HOT!


This trench coat was a GREAT shade of green. Adore the white hat. Paired together~FAB!

This ruffle shirt in white~Welcome spring!
NOW...
FFF
I can't even remember the last time I step into The Limited (FYI: I worked there in college. Dumb job. Not a fan of retail as a career.) I had some time to kill the other day so I took a step inside. I was pleasantly surprised. Here (above) are few things I certainly could have gone home with.
Suggestion: Go buy a new white shirt-button down, T, whatever-it's time for a refresh! Oh, and throw out the old one. White needs to be recycled!
Don't you LOVE Friday? Do something for you!

Clean up vacation anyone?



Ooh! THESE storage solutions are absolutely delightful.
Do you think the Polly Pockets would get picked up if they had one of these as their home? Ha..Ha...Ha...Ha...Ha!

Let me introduce you to my new BFF. "Elvira" aka Mr. ZIT!
Anyone ever seen one of THESE fancy devices?
No, he's not big and red and pussy. Just an extra extra extra large lump in the middle of my forehead that hurts like &%@# and wants to hang out non-stop.
Anyone else have a BFF like mine?

HOME Sweet HOME

It's quirky, it's crazy, it's color OVERLOAD and I LOVE it. As promised, here are a few pics of my new and improved living quarters.

Anybody want any Cake?
This was previously a dining room. In our puny 1600 sq. ft. house we could no longer afford to waste space on a dining room that got used twice a year. Dedicated to kid play now.

MOO! Cow skin rug from Ikea. It's cute but smelly!

Painted fire place, painted tile (both were brown). I'm sure the mantel and wall area will go through 10 more redos until I'm satisfied. For now, this will do.


Just purchased large yellow and white striped awning fabric for curtains. I will be hiding all the toys that live under the table with a tablecloth like contraption that I haven't invented yet.
(Yes, that would be a "TV" armoire that still houses our anciet TV. You won't find a savvy flat screen here. We take pride in vintage technology.)
The gigantor frame was a mirror originally (so I was told). I turned the backing over and painted with chalk board paint.

Amazing armoire that was given to me. Needs a little (okay a lot) TLC when I'm not feeling lazy.


Just slightly obsessed with oversized home accessories.
A little peak at my WHITE ceiling in the corner of this pic. It use to be brown (natural cedar)~ick!


There you have it.
HOME Sweet HOME.
There will always be an unfinished something in this house. It's my reality. I figure we're just living by the home improvement rule~It's never complete til the day you move out. :D
