at this moment

kaylee has her arms crossed right now telling her cousin that she's the boss because its her house. hmmm... and wow! my exact words to her on monday when we were having one of those moments, ya know, when you don't know what else to say but you want to make a quick point??? please tell me i'm not the only one.

**please leave me a comment with your blog, i would love to visit!

thursday's rambling

  

photos by me, hawaii 2008

sorry these are so small but blogger wont let me put them side by side any larger.  believe me, i've tried already. bleff, blogger!  anyway, since upgrading to a king size bed recently we no longer have a headboard. i thought these two images in big canvases would look awesome as a headboard.  the first image i would need to tweak it a little to get some more of the bright green in it but i love the antique-y look to them.  {on iphoto, it comes with a thingamabob to help enhance your images, lots of fun}  i also have an image of kaylee staring out into the wide mass of ocean that i would like to put with it but to be fair i would need an image of ham and that my friends, is something i tend to struggle with.  ham is a 16 year old boy who does not like to get his photo taken. not to be biased or anything but its a sad thing since he is such a handsome boy.

today i've got one of my nieces coming over for a play date.  my s-i-l asked me if i was ready for another play date this week.  i said sure. so she goes "well, i don't care if you drop off kaylee or i drop off kiran."  i knew where she was going with this so i just volunteered to have kiran come over here just so i no longer "owe" her one. {sil has brought up before how we would owe them if they took kaylee for the night etc.... never remembering all the times i/we dog or baby or house sat for them.  funny how that happens isn't it?}

getting pretty excited about the weekend.  its the big indy mini marathon for mike and a nice getaway for me.  hopefully kaylee will be a good girl for nana and pop pop.  her cousin on mike's side wont be there. i haven't told kaylee this yet, hopefully nana will have her entertained so much that she wont even notice.

comments?

yesterday i thought it would be fun to see who reads my blog and from where so i added the gadgets on my sidebar.  not that i have a big following or any following- hello?! anyone out there?  but its been fun to see just the same. i would love it if everyone would leave me a comment with how you found my blog and where you're from and if you have a blog to share.  i love reading blogs, never mind the fact that i am a bored housewife ignoring her bathrooms, laundry and floor sweeping, oh and i also have daughter who needs/demands attention. yeah, whats up with that?

*nobody new is going to say hello?  

10 on monday

1.  remember me whining about our lack of good-luck?  well to continue on with examples, we finally got my rover back on friday and had the driver side window fixed.  the same day we get it back, the passenger side window decides to break.  same problem as the driver side. (wont open or close) *sigh* another 300 bucks to get fixed!

2.  saturday we went to mike's bff's kid's birthday party.  i wasn't going to go but being stuck at home all week, i was pretty antsy and i didn't want to spend any money plus mike said we wouldn't stay long and we could eat dinner at stray dogs.  we ended up staying for about 6 hours and didn't eat dinner at stray dogs.

3. sunday was pretty relaxing.  the weather was crazy windy but awesome the whole weekend. had myself a few energy drink + vodka. was up the whole night. i guess i need more vodka and less energy drink.

4.  my hot stone massage and pedi on friday was freak'n awesome! 

5.  ham really ticked me.  so tired of hearing about how the car is not his car and how he didn't get to pick it out.  i told him to be grateful that he has a car to drive and if he doesn't like it then he can take his own money and buy himself something else and to not drive ours.  he stayed home pouting friday night.  he did get over by saturday.

6.  i'm wanting to get an 18-200mm lens for my camera.  cant seem to find it cheap anywhere ($700).  looked even on ebay and they only have it as a buy it now price.  i need a job to support this expensive hobby.

7.  told mike if we ever move again we will definitely have to check out the location.  being stuck at home, it would of been nice to walk somewhere- like to our downtown or to a local ice cream shop.  nothing around here is within walking distance nor do we have any sidewalks.

8.  prom was over the weekend.  hard to believe ham's old enough to be going to prom next year.  i wonder if he will ask anyone to go, he's pretty shy so it will be interesting.

9.  while watching desperate housewives, gabby was in a "garden club".  i want to hangout with a group of women talking about gardening while drinking margaritas!

10.  i really need to get out of elkhart.  hopefully things will go the way mike says it will and we will be moving in a few years- once ham is out of high school.  thinking about going to north carolina or tampa for his job.  oh how sweet would that be?

more white kitchen love

more white kitchen love. though i would add a little more color to mine.  {i love the plants in all of them!}  the second kitchen is my favorite, i've posted it about it before. (from design sponge)
    

  i think the others are from a fabulous blog i found recently.  check out alexandra hedin design.  

more etsy goods

i love and want this pillow.  and its made from 100% post consumer recycled felt. via coveiter; buy one here.

and mike would love this for his man apartment.  i might have to surprise him with it for our anniversary in june.

i cant remember which blog i found it from but you can buy one at rollandtumblepress.

everything but boring!

as mentioned from my previous, previous post my mom finds white walls/kitchens very, very boring.  she happened to have mentioned it about 20 times in a 5 minute time span making sure i heard her correctly.  i think she would of continued if it wasn't for my sister in law saying we got the point.  in a very mature -like manner, i did voice my opinion and told her i thought her kitchen was gay. {i was half kidding, we just have different tastes that's all}

while blog reading today, stephmodo came to my rescue.  these are a few that are featured on house beautiful.
