10 things on thursday when it feels like a friday

oh long hair, how i miss you. i miss you too hawaii

1. two days this week tons of schools have been on delays. none for us. {if you haven't noticed, mornings are becoming a little more difficult for me}

2. i made the easiest dinner the other night. bought some boneless beef short ribs, threw them in a crock pot on low for 6 hours with some of our favorite bbq sauce and made some mashed potatoes. added some french bread and butter. wish i had corn on the cob and salad but i didn't plan that far ahead.

3. found this post on gray bedrooms. why is it so hard to find the perfect shade? and is it gray or grey?

4. this is what really got my interest in finding a new comforter. i LOVE it! so much that i'm almost tempted in buying it but not letting mike in on the price. ya' know, one of those "oh it was on sale" purchases. but the budget is toying with my emotions!

5. yesterday was one of those days where i could not get warm, i was cold all the way to the core. i had on socks and slippers and my feet still felt like ice chunks, a long sleeve shirt and two sweatshirts on top of that.

6. we wrote up a "purchase agreement" for the car so once she shows us the money, ham will be officially car-less.

7. i'm finding out that i have not taught ham much of anything. unless you've got some fat cash, you can not drive a new- to -us car home immediately especially if your looking at cars up in chicago.

8. we've got a play date today for both kaylee and i. i'm making a cheese fondue. if it turns out, i will share the recipe.

9. i'm going to see how much i can get the house cleaned before said play date. so far i'm already behind.

10. out of all the blogs i read, i love the ones who share moments of their lives along with their favorite things the best.

  1. Oh, your beautiful photo makes my day! Warm + sunny Hawaii...
    (And #3, I spell it Gray, but it's my best friend's last name, so I'm biased:)

  2. I am looking for the perfect comforter too! (What's the difference b/w a comforter and a duvet?) It's very frustrating being allergic to down but loving the feel of it, trying to find the perfect pattern and color, looking online when you can't actually touch it, trying not to spend a ton of money, etc. I say if you've found the one you absolutely love - get it!

  3. What a great great photo of 2 gorgeous gals! Wow.
    Funny how everyone's into grey. I just purchased a comforter and sheet set, grey-tones! You should really check out HomeSense or I think in the States it's um, TJ Maxx/Home Goods. They have an amazing selection (if you don't mixing/matching) and amazing price points! Plus, you live in the States! You can shop online anywhere and get it delivered! I love Dwell but not their price points. Ouch.
    One other thing, I like the font choice. If you're looking for a header and know what you want, I can help you put it together. Me gots da photoshop.. wink wink. lol. Let me know! Hope you had a great fondue night!
