procrastination = large price reduction

So, I have been wanting these babies for a looooooong time now. Yes. I heart all things denim and believe wholeheartedly that demin is a neutral - on the bod or in your living room (you should see the number of denim suit coats I have in my closet). Well, after some delish pizza and a pumpkin muffin, I hopped on the internet while Big B watched Parks & Recreation (pee-in-your-pants funny last night, right?) and figured I would just take a look at these beauties again. Well, much to my pure joy and happiness, these denim divas were on major clearance (like such a good deal that the reduction on the sofa paid for the chair). Awesome. So, there you have it. Our major delay in decision making has resulted in a huge savings. ...oh yea, I bought the pearl slipcovers, too.

Pottery Barn?

oh no my friends...guess again.


JCPenny.com - that's right. Not even the store. JCPenny.com


Going to enjoy the rest of my Punkin Ale. Dogfish Head = delicious

Baby steps...








I'm a blogger!

I blog, I am blogging!


I imagine me saying this just a "Bob" did in What About Bob? when he went saaaiiilllling. You imagine me however you want (and yes, that is a photo from the movie I took from Google images - perhaps the naughtiest thing I have done in a long while. Yawn.).





So, cyberspace nerdies out there, I am determined to be a blogger. Aren't I so jazzy?

I could entertain you to pieces with stories from work, but that part of my life shall remain a mystery on this blog. I've decided that I need a hobby to get my mind off work because 99.9% of my life seems consumed by work.

(I had a great picture to insert here. But, alas, I cannot figure out how to get it here. Urg.)


I love, love, love, love, heart, reading my daily decorating blogs from all of the lovely ladies (The Nester - who got me hooked, Flowerpatch Farmgirl - who brings me home each time I read her blog, and Shanty2Chic - those two sisses have great taste), so I figured that I should post my shabby attempts at crafting fun/fiascos as well. Because if nothing else, I have one friend (K8e) who I think may read this blog and be entertained by it.

Okay, I have a tendency to be too wordy, so here it goes: some pics and a mini-craft I recently accomplished:
...hey, where are the pictures, you say? Well, as with awesome photo above I cannot get it to insert in the correct place. So, they will be in the next post. I have to go get a snack now.
