We went to Monterey last night for a little getaway. It was so much fun! But, I have a lot to learn about the beaches out here... for one, it is always CLOUDY. Secondly, it was COLD. I didn't bring any jeans or long sleeves! But it was still a ton of fun! Our room was fabulous (with a fireplace and ocean view!)...
I made a first ever attempt at semi-gardening today. Joann's had their big pottery pots on sale 50% off, plus I had a coupon for an extra 10% of so that = total discount of 60%. Too good to pass up! So I got just one (to make sure I actually planted something in it before I got multiples!) and then Sean and...
I started off trying to sand it. But I didn't know how to work a sander. That's when I decided that really good primer would have to do.Two coats of Zinsser Stain Sealing Primer. Yes, we have a couch in our dining room.... its left over from a garage sale, but the lady who bought it doesn't have room for it yet!These chairs...
*cue the music* I wanna be famous, wanna be a star. When I grow up, wanna be in movies, drives fast cars.... well, you know the rest. I want to be famous. There I said it.

As my hubby was packing up for a week long fishing trip in the mountains tonight, I was double checking his packing list, making sure he had everything... sleeping back (check), blankets (check), pillows (check-- i think its so cute that he specified he wanted a "neutral" pillowcase... guess flowers aren't manly enough for fishing trips), bug spray (check)... flashlight.Oh, the flashlight. Remember...
.... Adoption! If anyone knows my husband, you know how much he loves Jon Piper. I came across this awesome video the other evening.... it is definitely worth watching. He can put into eloquent words thoughts and emotions I can't even describe! ...
I just discovered a friend's blog and absolutely loved what she wrote today.... I needed to hear it! Jump over the Jen's Place and read it... That song, "He knows my name" is one that I heard for the first time when I lived in NC. In fact, the first time I heard it, I was at Jen's house, with Barb and Sissy....
So I started a new project today! I am painting our dining table and 5 chairs- black. A sleek, glossy, dark black. :-) Bye bye blonde and maple mismatched wood, hello gorgeous set. (Or so I hope) Photos will follow mid week, when everything is dry and stufff.... hoping it turned out good!I just stumbled upon this new shopping website... thought I'd share......
I have been a terrible blogger as of late. Sorry! Lots going on but not lots I want to share with the world, ya know?This has been a pretty good weekend... we were supposed to have a garage sale with our small group, but it rained Friday night and was supposed to rain Saturday, so we postponed it to next weekend. That gave...
*Slaps Hand To Forehead*So that's how you do it! Man, we've been doing this all wrong. No wonder its taking so long!!:-) ...
