Well..ill never be stress free...but at lease ill be LESS stress free!  Went to look at another townhome today which was better than the last one we saw yesterday..filled out paperwork and just waiting to hear back if its ours or not!  So im 99.8% its ours..June 25th is moving day - i cant wait...time to pack more! 

the INS and lots of OUTS

IN :

1 - NOTHING! how about them apples...

OUT:

1 - EVERYTHING

2 - my husband begging to buy another bike when we still are looking for a place to live..i seriously am going to kill him if i have to hear about a bike thats 2600 and how much of a good deal it is...were going to be homeless with a bike..great priorities idiot!

3 - working..anyone wanna just give me some money so i dont have to work?!  Im luckily off for a few days thanks to PTO (paid time off) and memorial day..hopefully i can mentally recharge during this long weekend!

4 - oh your moving in june? do you have a place to live yet? NO I DONT SO STOP ASKING ILL TELL YOU WHEN I FIND A PLACE!!!  Were going to look at a place tomorrow so if i like it im going to claw my way into getting something set up that minute..i am done looking, done having mini meltdowns, done doing all the work by myself..DONE - D O N E ! !

5 - humidity

6 - my house..if you came over you would would think WTF are these people doing?! we have half of our crap packed, couches everywhere, coffee table against the wall, a chair 2 inches in front of the tv since theres nowhere to put it, ottomans all over the place..not to mention im living out of a few laundry baskets because i have recently stopped giving a shit whether i put my clean clothes away or not!

7 - my dogs allergies..

its..

its days like this that i would give up anything to be in london...

retail therapy = a butterfly specimen??

im depressed..so to feel better...i bought a butterfly!!

found it on a cool website :

http://www.butterfly-designs.com/index.html

I actually found the store on ebay selling them for even cheaper too! Which was a bonus of course since the one i wanted was 35 bucks! (found for 25 on ebay from the same store)  They have sooooo many pretty ones with crazy bold and neon colors..i tried finding one that had color but would fit in with the earth tone colors all around my house..so even though the neon blue butterflies were pretty, just wouldnt look right in my house full of browns!  So this one was the prettiest and most importantly..in my price range!  Cant wait to get it...and then pack it back up since i have nowhere to put it..and continue to have nowhere to put it thanks to STILL not finding a place to live!!! AHHHHHH did i mention i was depressed?  See what happens when im sad...i buy fing butterflies!!!

oh and ps..i still loveeee my ottoman!!  i yell when the dog or cat jumps on it..ha

ottoman

Heres the Fabric i used : 

and after hours of trying to figure out how to cover an ottoman with NON removable legs (aka nightmare)...forgot to take a before pic of coure..lets were dark brown wood and the fabric was dark blue with some ugly flowers all over it!  Oh and it was 5 dollars..and the fabric was like 7 bucks including tax..

The next project :

fist smile of the week

Look what i got in the mail today!  Im officially a godMOTHER - so hey, its my first mothers day!!

I could really use a wish right now...

...

a few more scores..steals and deals!!

Well Jake and I went to Chicago to help his sister move..i think i walked up 2943987 stairs by the end of the day!  We managed to pick up a couch for 100 bucks from a girl his sister was buying a table off of.  The girl living in a huge high rise right on the lake..i had to stop for a moment and just sit on a huge rock on the lake and soak it in..ANYWAYS..so yeah, she had a micro suede couch that looks and is practically brand new..and only wanted 100 for it since shes moving to new york!  DEAL! SCORE!  

So then we went back to Rachs apt to help her move to another apt down the block..which you would think would be easy..it wasnt.  She was getting rid of a tv, a long sofa/foyer table, oversize couch chair, and and ottoman!  Yeah...and it was all freeeeee...STEAL!  

So now im still on the hunt of finding a place to put all this crap.  AND i started packing...a month and half early..i know ill regret packing this early in a few days when im staring at ugly boxes but i have too much to do before moving (like FIND A PLACE TO MOVE TO!) so why not get a head start and pack all the decorations!  I also went through my coffee table drawers that i like to throw every piece of useless junk in...i managed to throw out a bunch of crap, fill a bag to give away, and backed a box of stuff im keeping..so hopefully going slow and going through everything will help me get rid of extra junk that i think i need to absolutely no reason!

...im tired...
