A few of my faves ...

I'm a home decor guru.
Wait ... I take that back. I'm an apartment decor guru. The fact of the matter is that I have the design habits of a homeowner. I see something, I get it.
You don't really need a place to put everything ... right?

In any case, I've put together a slideshow of my absolute favorite design style: Old World. It's a little Old World with Tuscan influences, minus the wine and carbs.

I like to imagine, just for a moment, that I have a disgusting amount of money and I have to spend it or it will disappear. POOF! So, these are the kinds of things I'd buy and they kinds of things I hope I can one day incorporate into my future home. [I'm apparently going for the "mansion" look].



... That bathroom! *drools* It's heaven.

Fall is here! Fall is here!
And that means pumpkins, sweet treats, and costumes!
In the spirit of Fall, I give you ...

In honor of the debates ...

I really enjoyed the debates in Mississippi this evening. It didn't take much to confirm what I already thought, and that is that John McCain is, in my opinion, the right choice for America.

I admire his character, his dignity, and his ideals.

COUNTRY FIRST.

Someone's not paying attention ...

More than just a great bargain!


Come on ... someone fell for it. Why not make $19.95?



"And my child is going to come out deformed because these gosh darned jackhammers!" I can't think about this right now... it's giving me a headache. I need another cigarette.



You know I can't pass up a great deal!


Get over it Jill ... you're lame.


Well ... I decided it was long overdue that I get rolling with this blog.
When my sister’s blog started to become more internet hip than mine I knew it was time to step it up a notch. [no offense Jen ;)].

I’d say life on my homefront is rather boring.
No, not boring … uneventful. Oh alright … boring.

My big exciting news is I have just 4 gifts left to buy for Christmas. HOT DANG! … I’ve always been kind of nerdy like that – I love buying Christmas gifts. Of course, I love receiving them, but that’s neither here nor there. And, it looks like my economy sized Hobby Lobby Christmas wrapping paper is going to see another, make that a third, Christmas.

I spent last Sunday at my sister’s house in Forney. Matt finally had a Sunday off … since he became the “lead mechanic” (don’t let that title fool you – it’s technically no different … nor is it more pay) he had to rearrange his schedule until they found an additional mechanic. So Sunday morning I’m laying in bed and I say “hey, what time do you get off today?” He then tells me he’s off … see, this valuable bit of information would have been helpful to know ahead of time, but okay … whatev.

So we had a great day playing outside on the “whing set” (as Caroline would say), getting into “gun fights” with Ethan, and just cuddling Wyatt. He’s a good cuddler when he’s not trying to lunge himself face forward onto the couch.

I then decided I’m going to quit my job and stop paying bills (I never really liked paying them anyway) and go work at Moore ISD (homeschool). I’d make a great drama teacher. Hey Jen, think about adding that to your curriculum.

Anyhoo … I’m at work and apparently there’s “work” to do. Hmph! The nerve.
Signing off …
