Man I wish I would have seen this almost three years ago. Would totally have done it for my wedding!

wrong: too low. right: high. dramatic. table runner and place mats perfection. HOWEVER. the low is right when you have guests instead of set up all pretty when you never ever sit at that table except when you have a big group of people.

Aww these baskets are so cute and reusable! They would be great to have to display when you have breakfast meetings or breakfast gatherings of the social kind.

My sister Liz is due soon and we got her baby girl to be these freaking cute baby air jordan bootie socks that look like sneakers so she can be ballin. Baby socks... dang:

Matt scoops ice cream and serves it to us while we're watching TV. Sometimes he makes a giant bowl and we share it with one spoon.

Plants on the window box are doing VERY well. Maybe cause there's lots of sunlight and I'm being responsible and watering them. Little known fact: plants need water to live, I know, it was a shock to me too. Strawberries are super happy, I already ate these two and four others. Tempted to just have the entire box of strawberries and have a strawberry supply all summer. So... I added another window box. Curled Parsley. (Flat Parsley & Cilantro & Basil by the kitchen sink). Lemon Thyme. And the only plants grown by seed right now, Chives. I am too impatient to wait for seedlings, I buy them kinda grown and then plant them, their growth is all them. But I'm gonna give the seeds a chance, hopefully they grow 'cause I LOVE Chives. On the deck, mint, very happy, lavender, not happy. He must be moved.

Time for wedges with flowers. - mobile blog post.

I moved him inside cause I wanted a side table with these chairs and I like it.   Matt groaned.

Angie got a little tutu and she modeled it for us. Who could make her crack up like that?  Grandma of course:

A Guinea Pig named “Sooty” had a night to remember after escaping from his pen and tunnelling into a cage of 24 females. He romanced each of them in turn and is now the proud father of 43 offspring. Staff at Littlefriend’s Farm in Pontypridd, South Wales, have now secured Sooty’s pen - and begun looking for new homes for his guinea pigs. “We looked for him everywhere but never thought of checking the pen where we keep 24 females. We did a head count and found 25 Guinea Pigs, Sooty fast asleep in the corner.” “He was absolutely shattered. We put him back in his cage and he slept for two days.”

To watch, memorize, and become The Bluth Family. My thirtieth birthday party will be Arrested Development themed. Complete with giant wine boxes, chocolate covered frozen bananas, blue hand prints and general quoting, trivia, and mahem. I will be going as Lucille Bluth.

My only brother is getting married on Saturday. Couldn't be happier for him and his bride to be. They made me a bridesmaid. So I had to buy shoes. I really wanted these: But got these instead: DSW. I had totally forgotten about that place and now that I've remembered, it's bad news.

Best part of my gardening outfit. Panavision Hollywood Hat. There's a whole getup with this of black rain boots, my iphone armband, gardening apron, and gloves but I am chunky right now so you get this until I figure out cleverer angles to hide the extra weight, or you know LOSE it but like that's gonna happen, I'm practically eating butter via an IV. Star jasmine vine. I'm doing that thing I do and waiting to see if he likes it there before I "dig in". "Wow, it's getting pillowy out there" -Matt (I love him so very much)   Aren't daisys just the friendliest flowers? Seriously, they're my favorite. And this guy is barren right now but he's coming out, and not like Jennifer Knapp or Ricky Martin, ohnoshedidn't! I can see tiny little buds ready to bust out like Dolly Parton, two in a row, damn!

Upstairs hallway. $2.50 each from Target.   Stupid dollar section, always wins.

As promised. ALL his bath stuff. Matthew has tentatively agreed to guest blog here soon. I cannot wait to see what he does with the place. Everyone cheer him on...

I like pencils as decoration. Especially matching striped ones. Pillowcases were $5 each at Target. ONLY the cases, I already had the pillows, perfect switch.

On Wednesday night, after my first day on a job I got a text message from my usual producer asking if I was willing to production manage a job, the same day I got another inquiry into if I was willing to production manage another job. Which means, I'm being asked to move up. I've been coordinating for two years and some change and to be honest, hadn't really though about moving up just yet. It might be because I really like my job and know I'm pretty good at it. So when the inquiry came I had about 2 minutes to think about it, to ask myself if I was ready. Sure. I don't know how to do the payroll (a huge job as the production manager) but I can learn along the way and ask those that have done it before and have offered themselves to show me the ropes. Sure, I can do it. Obviously I want to move up, who wouldn't? It was just so different from the time that I was asked to move up to coordinating. I was just waiting for that opportunity, just wishing someone wo...

Black, yellow, and white collection of frames and such and such. I'm okay with it.
