on my mind thursday

via good long while

1.  love this look and want to do this to the wall that you see from the front entry into the family room.  love the shelving on each side. love the hard wood floors.  (would i have to crown mold the rest of the house?)

2.  love my etsy goodies i bought from elizabeth bentz. {she blogs good long while}  i need to get a nice shot of what i did with the tea towel.  love how it looks.  and my two pouches are holding my goods in my purse.  my pesky cat loves his cat nip treats too.

3.  went and did a small retail therapy session yesterday. i feel good.

4.  though i'm still hating my short, unruly, hard to maintain hair.  its funny how i think others see me as {those that don't know me}  i see them seeing me as your typical chinese girl.  i am not typical nor am i chinese.

5.  ham wanted steak,  mashed potatoes and mac-n-cheese for dinner so that's what i made last night.  except no mashed potatoes, just potatoes.  my hand mixer broke awhile back.  {the meat guy gave me a discount on his meat- ha! a dirty funny.  he gave me 3 pieces of the good meat for the price of 2 and took another buck off too}

6.  104/72.  that's my blood pressure.  yep, i got myself a tough life.

7.  you must go over to tara whitney's blog.  i want family portraits like hers.  especially the one of them jumping in the fields.

8.  cleaning the house and getting it ready for my scentsy party tomorrow.  should be fun getting together with a bunch of girls- hanging out- munching on some goodies + drinking

9.  ham's car is broken. again.  supposedly something with the power steering?  need to get it towed to the repair shop.

10.  i miss 80's music like this.  they're still hot + playing over in europe.  whats wrong with us americans?
