::kitty adventures, cont

And now for the weekly update into Mr. B's house adventures.

Remember how I said everything around us was breaking? Well we've begun the process of repair. That process includes multiple items getting shipped to our house. Kitty just wanted to get involved with the improvements:

Well, he wanted to get involved....then the drowsiness kicked in and he was worthless. Ah well.

::turn it back

There are very few things in my life that I genuinely regret. So as not to make this an extra serious post, I'll share with you my two larger regrets within the context of home decor.

1- Not buying this table off craigslist. I don't even remember how much it was. I'm going to say $1000. That way I won't feel so bad. And yes, I still have the picture from however long ago I saved it. Talk about pining.

2- Not buying a faux-leather yellow pouf like the one below. I found it at an estate sale about a year ago for $25. *cringes. Yes, I said only $25. And WHO KNEW they would get so famous. So much for trying to be responsible and not buying things I don't need. Pouf, I miss you daily and I cannot be consoled.

What about you? Any regrets?

::day dreaming

So...now, it looks like this (except for a new mat):

And I'm thinking about making it look like this:

I love the thought of a colorful front door.

::crushing

So, I'm completely in love with this bedding. Yes, I know. It's an addiction. The intervention has been scheduled. Rehab is in my future. I cannot stop looking at bedding. It's just sad. I think I might just have to steal away the shams if nothing else. I'll find a place for them to live. :)
Oh, and I was browsing the other day and found this as well. To be completely honest I can't remember where...my guess is West Elm. I kinda like it. Can't decide if I'd get tired of it and if it looks "cheap"? I guess I'm starting to turn Aaron here and worry that if I actually bought a headboard...would I freak out by not going wood?

Thoughts?

And now for your weekly installment of the adventures of Mr. B.

What happens when you turn on the shower and leave the door open?

I think someone needs to break the news to him that he's a cat. It's just starting to get creepy.

::time for a lift

I've been thinking about changing around a few art pieces in our house now for some time. I think I may have found a few good contenders.

For the wall above the bed in the master bedroom I'm liking:

And for above the buffet in the dining room the choices are:

Thoughts?

::well I'll be...

Someone turns 3 this weekend! Happy Birthday C! May your day be filled with balloons, trucks, trains and anything else your little 3 yr. old self loves :) We love you!

::one step forward

Two days back. Feels like I'll never get caught up on sleep. Woke up around 5 this morning and couldn't go back to sleep. At least the multi-vitamin seems to help :)

::little of this

Just got back in town from Nashville. Went to see Owl City in the ATBAB tour and let me tell you.....AMAZING. I don't know where else he'll be playing, but if it's close to you...go. :) I only have sad little cameras so the following are only a miserable representation of the awesomeness that was Adam Young.

The glowing figure in the second picture is Adam. The top shows the set. So cute. It looks just like the cover of his new album.

Also did my sister's hair for a wedding on Saturday before the move...

Got my friend all moved in followed by a wedding, followed by dinner, followed by crash and burn. Sunday was equally busy with errands and last minute "To-Dos" before the trip. Now I'm back and finishing up my last week in between new jobs. While all this has been good fun, I'm ready for it to slow down a little.

::no rest for the weary

This weekend (aka: month) holds some non-stop craziness. A friend is getting married and we were invited to join in much of the festivities. Another friend is moving and the last needs an updo. :) Should be good fun though, and I'm looking forward to it.

Who needs sleep when you're still young right? Have a lovely weekend.

::a little action

Went and tried Zumba last night for the first time. I had such a great time. Half the time I didn't know what was going on...but it sure was fun jumping around and letting go of the stresses of the day! If you've never tried a class before, I highly recommend it.

Speaking of stresses...as soon as we got home from vacation, our garage door broke. Fail. Later that week, so did our lawn mower. Double fail. Hah....I guess the score so far is:

Life = 10 Andrea = 0

I'll beat it! It's not like we just fixed the fence, air conditioner, or hot water heater or anything. :) Note to self: Don't buy a 15 yr old house. Either buy a new house, or a 20 yr old house. That way every thing's new.

As far as home projects go, we're hitting the home stretch and unfortunately that means the only things left are Major projects. I did "rub n buff" the light above our kitchen sink to nickel to match the rest of the hardware. So, I'm not completely lazy. I think the next order of business is to paint the laundry room and then start on the trim. Anybody want to come over and do it for me? I've got taffy!

::house candy

Please let this be my dining room. :)

::into reality

First off, can I reiterate my apologies for my absence? Things are starting to slow down here just a tad so I think I'll have more time to get back on. So, speaking of my new job I was promoted to be supervisor in my old department. Yay! I'm really excited for the opportunity (not only for the job itself) and the ability to continue working with the people I LOVE! The timing on everything has just been crazy lately, but everything continues to work out so I'm just along for the ride. :)

Sidenote: Dad - just wanted to show you that your fine craftsmanship is enjoyed by all in the family. :)
