love tank

when a husband agrees to a Target trip and doesn't complain in the health and beauty aisles; an angel gets their wings

when a husband goes Christmas shopping, to Target whine-free, starts to help clean without being asked, takes you to Chipotle even though he doesn't like it, takes the dog out several times during your unofficial party, and discretely cleans up the party while you dish with a bff til 3:00 in the morning; a love tank is filled

Happy Hanukkah!

Husb gave me a new laptop for the first night of Hanukkah! You may hear from me a lot more often now that I can watch Bravo and blog at the same time!

Mazel!

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!

to: future me

i am pretty sure no one is out there, so this is mostly a reminder to myself to post pics of this summer and to remember all of the fun things we did this summer, cause really i will probably never get around to putting pics up.
