I Can Find The Answers To All Life's Problems In An Ep. Of Sex And The City

Samantha - "is it all about the other person, is that love?"

Miranda - "no, that's marriage."

aint that the truth

excuse my french..

..but if someone doesnt give my husband a fucking cop job ALREADY im going to flip out (yes my husband walked around all day with a loaded gun on his hip thanks to his new holster)!!  *I was just going to write a long potty mouthed version of how much i hate this world but ill keep it to myself just in case the fbi or whoever does his damn background check holds it against him that his wife is crazy!

this is bullshit

UhhGg!

* ACCUMULATIONS... TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS OF 8 TO 12 INCHES ARE LIKELY... GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 88... TAPERING TO AROUND 6 INCHES TO THE SOUTH WHERE PRECIPITATION MAY MIX WITH SLEET AT TIMES. THE SNOW SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH FROM THE WEST AROUND MID DAY MONDAY.

 

 Im pretty sure i can no longer take anymore snow..im done..ive had enough..lets bring on spring already!!  I know snow happens every single year but around this time every single year i get FED UP!  I like snow and all but i cant take this not being able to to outside thing any longer...anyone else counting down the days till nice weather??!

new drapes..new bedding...

Well after hitting up jcp about 4 times (yeah, thats how i spent my valentines day!) i finally figured out what drapes to get..and oddly enough after all that running around and making decisions..im getting..WHITE! ha..i tried to get taupe colored ones but since i want to paint our master bedroom a very light blue/gray color..i held up some paint swatches to the brown drapes and the blue made the drapes look really gold (and i hate gold!) so i decided to just get plain ol white..which looked obviously fine against the blue paint swatches i had..and i got thermal ones too which im excited about..AND i got a deal on them..grand total was like 42 bucks for two panels at 95inches long..using a coupon on top of a sale worked wonders!

Ive also decided to use the rest of my bday money and get two pillow cases to match my new duvet from pottery barn..i figured id get them so i can still enjoy the pattern in the summer when i we use our down comforter/duvet cover..they are kinda expensive (2 pillow cases cost half as much as the duvet!) but its worth it..and its my bday money so why not?!!

funny things my husband says part 1..

so were just laying on the couch last night talking about whatever..and my husband says to me "do your sentences ever end?"...i about peed my pants laughing so hard...hes just soo cute..NOT! ha!

love...

Happy (early) Valentines Day...

youre certified!

aka eligible for hire!
yes..he passed his final interview!
so now he has a psych test and dr physical left..so keep praying please!!!! (hopefully this means we can start looking at houses soon too!!!)

oh a lighter note..im looking for new curtains for our master bedroom..the new duvet cover doesnt go with our current ones (which i still like but just dont go..) so its on to some new ones! i found some nice ones at jcp that are thermal backing/light blocking (both which ive been wanting for a long time and our current ones do not have) and they are on sale for 29 each, which is a little more than id like to spend so well see (luckily i got some bday money to spend though!)...of course the jcp in the mall didnt have the color i want, so im going to check the one in oswego this weekend for em! I still love my duvet cover and plan on getting the pillow cases to match..so when we are not using our down comforter/duvet cover in nice weather (which hopefully with be sooner than later!) i will still be able to enjoy the bird pattern somehow...

oh and ps...im pretty much obsessed with vampire diaries (a show on tv)..it was on tonight and i loved it!

i feel the earth quake(instead of shake..get it?!) under my feet...

Anyone else feel it?!
Scared the crap out of me and Squibby at 4am..(Jake and Will slept downstairs because i didnt want him to wake me up this morn since its my day off! ha)..the bed literally shook back and forth for a long time and everything on the walls were rattling(glad the huge mirror above my bed didnt fall on me)! It sounded like thunder rumbling but it was longer and louder..crazy! I even turned the news on right after and stayed up for about 25 min to see if what i felt wasnt just me(and my cat) who felt it..but i dont think the news works that fast! ha..they finally confirmed it when i woke back up at 6:45..very weird experience thats for sure!

oh and ps...if you have any extra good luck please send some our way for jakes dupage interview tomorrow! im going to be praying all night and day!

pottery barn wannabe!

Sooo i did it..i got the duvet cover from pottery barn i wanted! (scroll down and youll see a pic of it in a prev post!)
AND - I love it..unfortunately my Husband...does not (like i care!) - he said its grandma-ish! ha..but luckily i pretty much dont give a rats butt what anyone thinks of my taste/style in decorating my home so i proceeded to put it on our bed with a smile on my face anyways! so now both Willis and Squibby better not make any sudden moves near my duvet or theyll get their asses kicked!

the 'after'..and other junk..

Heres the infamous dresser..it was an ugly dark brown, plain and lame..so i decided to pain it white when i painted our coffee table. Well here she is, new paint, new cup pulls..and awesome!!!bday mirror!

my birdie cage!! loves it...

my baby squibby..in yet another bucket i stole out of my parents basement

like a hole in the head..

FYI - dont ever buy knobs for anything that you have to drill new holes for..it is NEVER easy to get all the holes to be level..and im a LEVEL NAZI so now i have learned my lesson = buy knobs that fix existing holes or die!

(pics soon to follow! waiting for dresser to dry a little bit after my paint touch up after drilling, refilling, drilling again, refilling AGAIN, DRILLING AGAIN!! AHHH)

Oh and I got my 5 foot mirror hung over my couch that my parents got me for my birthday..looks gooood...ill post a pic of that along with the dresser..OH and my new vintage bird cage jake got me at pottery barn for my birthday that im in love with...

off to clean this mess since i dont have to work today YAYYY!!


anyways..ill leave you with this duvet cover that i want..what do you think of it?? should i get it??!!
