The Stupid Cake…
Men, typically…can be a bit self-centered. You’re all shocked, right? Probably not. The fiance almost made me cry last night. He doesn’t know that when he makes comments like “You know, I’d really like to stop using plastic bags, it’s bad for the environment”, I get a little teary and my love grows in big [...]

30. June 2007
The previous owners must have had a real love for “Pattern on Pattern” decor…and stuffed birds (the den also had a stuffed squirrel – ick!). Ignore the little pink tree in the “After Picture” it was taken right before my sister’s baby shower. What was done…Wallpaper…GONE…Painted Benjamin Moore’s “Jersey Cream” Ripped out the dropped ceiling. Found beams. [...]

27. June 2007
I am constantly carrying stuff back & forth between the apartment, the house and work. It’s like a near constant reorganization process and quest for comfort. I’ll say to myself “oh, this yummy blanket would make us happy at the apartment” or “the bookcase at the apartment is overflowing, let’s move a bunch to the [...]

25. June 2007
I’ve been making a list (and checking it twice). I have a list of blogs/sites/things on the side. It started off as quasi-bookmarks for me. Sites I had stumbled onto and didn’t want to forget. Now, it’s a veritable cornucopia of sites that I frequent on a daily (or more) basis. Some are blogs that [...]

25. June 2007
The fiance dropped me off at Lowes on Sunday whilst he went grocery shopping. Role Reversal Rocks! Just kidding. Anyway…discovered a few things… 1. The covers for my hated baseboard can be bought at Lowes, they are $35 for a 6 foot length. Maybe I can pacify myself and just straighten up a few of the [...]

25. June 2007
I want to make the blog wider, but I don’t know how – so I just keep picking new templates. I dork. Anyway, I finally dumped 2 weeks worth of pictures off the camera so expect LOTS of posts today. Here’s a picture of what used to be a metal/industrial shelving unit in the foyer [...]

Ariana over at Becoming Home tagged me. Rules of the game: Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to then report this on their own blog with their 7 things as well as these rules. They then need to tag 7 others and list their names on their [...]

21. June 2007
I just realized that my first appointment at the overly-air-conditioned convention center isn’t until 10AM this morning so I have an extra 30 minutes to myself. Yay! Priscilla emailed my yesterday to let me know that she had spotted a velvet chesterfield couch on Craigslist. Yay! I checked out the pictures and for $500 it seemed [...]

14. June 2007
I can’t take it anymore. The baseboard heating in my house makes me want to SCREAM and SMASH IT WITH A BASEBALL BAT. Course, when winter rolls around, I’ll end up freezing my naughty bits off. Here is my rant list…please feel free to weigh in and make suggestions… 1. I am not rich, the radiant [...]

13. June 2007
Tool Bag? Tool Box? Tool Armoire! I needed something to store tools inside our dwelling. I didn’t want something too terribly fug. Voila. Armoire. Got this cute pine armoire on Craigslist for $150 smackers. At some point, I think I’ll paint it. It’s a little too knotty for my tastes. These are the pics from Craigslist…I don’t own [...]

12. June 2007
The boyfriend of one of my co-workers has a pond on his property. The pond has lots of turtles. He’s trying to figure out how many turtles (roughly) there are and he has started numbering them. This just cracked me up so I had to share. Run #7! Run! copyright 2007 iloveupstate.com
