Monday
I had no problem picking paint colors, choosing a couch, and finding chairs, but I can’t seem to decide on a rug. This will go in the living room under the couch (posted photos a couple entries back). I almost bought a black and white one last month, but when I finally decided, it was ... [...]Tags: house

I have furniture!
My couch was delivered this moring and I love it!! So excited to get that shitty old love seat out of my living room. Now I need to replace the lamps and paint the kitchen (maybe this weekend) and then I’ll be ready to have a housewarming party. Eeeeee! [...]Tags: house
Wednesday
Spent the night making cupcakes (and watching Lost!). This one looks like chocolate and peanut butter, so I’m about to go downstairs and slather some peanut butter on a brownie. But first I want to pass along a link I found over at Le Love. It’s a photo diary that was kept by a man carin [...]Tags: good stuff, she's crafty

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things
Today marks the completion of one of the items on my 101 list. I haven’t purchased clothing, shoes, or accessories for 3 months! It wasn’t too difficult – I just avoided going in stores and looking at emails from online shops. I haven’t had the urge to buy anything, but IR [...]Tags: 101, good stuff
The Bright Side Project

I’m loving this idea because it makes me dig up really happy memories and they give away great prizes! If you were given THREE WISHES what would they be? What was one of the most me [...]Tags: good stuff
Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper
Anderson Cooper was in town last night to shoot his show and do a segment on the Detroit auto industry. Jessica and I headed to a shitty, small bar determined to get a picture with him. The bar was already packed by the time we got there. Middle aged women clutched their Anderson headshots as ... [...]Tags: awesome, look mom i'm on tv
Movin’ On Up
Moved my furniture from the guestroom into my newly painted bedroom last night all by myself. My and my big muscles even brought the TV from the living room downstairs. I need to get some art on the walls and new curtains (those came with the house) and I’ll be all set. I’m thinking I ne [...]Tags: house
