Artful

Nate and I go eat lunch at the Tea Room downtown alot. I mean a lot. To the tune of us having our own table to sit at, no menus needed, and all the waitstaff knows who we are and what we want. So imagine my surprise when I see this little gem sitting in the walkway for sale. I absolutely fell in love with it immediately. It hard to tell by the pictures but the black and green is almost a felt material. The music sheet has some minor water damage but it just adds character.
If I was smart I would have claimed it for my house immediately, but I said lets see if it looks good in Nate's green room which is a second living room area thing, and now it hangs in Nate's red bedroom. Dang but oh well. Surely I can find something as unique and awesome for my house too!

Yes please.

Everyone says " Do whatever you want"


What if I don't know what I want?

Not a whole lot

There's not a whole lot going on lately, but it sure seems like Ive been super busy.

Still looking for that ideal electric fireplace and I decided to semi redo my bathroom. Ive had the Texas flag shower curtain and scheme forever, but it worked in my house. The girl I bought it from was obsessed with Texas and the Texas star so I have the really pretty towel holders and that are black iron looking with the Texas star in it.
I wanted to keep those, just because I didn't want to mess with trying to find new ones, so I went on a search for new shower curtain and wall accessories etc. Ugh. It took me forever to find anything, I went to every store in town like 3 different times. But its almost done so Ill take pictures ASAP.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Merry Christmas to me!

If you remember I got the new wall hanging TV for my birthday and I have been trying to find a long, not very wide, black, something to put up against the wall(big big wall) to hold my DISH box and my Wii with no avail.
And then Nate mentioned these.


Electric fireplaces!
And they make them with entertainment centers and bookshelves built in them. A fireplace was not important to me when I was looking to buy a house. I have had fireplaces before and never ever lit not even one fire in any of them, so I really did not care to have one. But this will be perfect! They just plug right in to the wall, heat up like 400 sq. ft or something, and have thermostat control and everything built right in.
And they are pretty.
And I might actually use it, where I would not a real one.
So this is what Nate gets to get me for Christmas.

I'm excited!
Hopefully Ill be able to find one I like here in town.

A Day in the Life

Nate "We aren't going to get down there and you find some $1000 pair of shoes you just have to have for Christmas are we?"
Me " I sure hope so"

:)


And to be fair they were Louboutins that were regularly $1700 and we got them for like $700 or $800. That's a deal if you ask me!

So I am getting started on Christmas shopping this weekend, well actually I am hoping to finish my Christmas shopping this weekend. I have already got a few gifts bought and pretty much know exactly what I am getting everyone. I like to get started and get done with it before every one else starts, even though there are not a whole lot of sales its worth it to me to pay a little extra and not fight the crowds.

And Monday I have an appt at the Cosmetic Laser Center to discuss and possibly get some Botox. I know.... I am only 27, but they are having a steal of a deal so my Mom and I are going to see whats its all about (Sorry to rat you out mom!) haha.
I don't know if I will get any or not, but I would like some more info on it.
Nate is not happy about it to say the least, he is afraid that if I start it this young my face will become dependant on it, and I think he is afraid he will have to pay for it for the rest of my life! hahahaha.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

P.S. Happy one and 1/2 year anniversary to me and Nate today! What a lucky guy he is! :)

Big Picture post!!!

So as I have mentioned before my mom got my doggy pictures for my birthday which turned into family portraits! A lady she knows named Kelly Nottingham took the pictures. FYI for those of you that don't know. Lola is the red dachshund, Gus is the black and tan one, and Sophi is the Chihuahua.

There was obviously a WHOLE lot more, but I figured this was more than enough!
