Must have curvy legs…

November 19, 2009
It seems a lot of things go on in my house when i have no choice but to stay home. The laundry gets folded….the dishes get emptied from the dw….rooms get cleaned and dusted….

it’s amazing….

okay…you got me…i don’t necessarily dust….i mean…i don’t get out the feather duster….

but i do get out the ole swifter….

and run it over the hardwoods….

that i do.

This chair…..is one i picked up at my flea market a month ago…..

and i really didn’t know where i was going to put it…

till i dragged it up to Lola’s room.

I have been on the lookout for a chair with a little curve appeal…

because a girly chair must have girly curves…

Lola’s room has been going thru a transformation for the last few months…..

with this was the final piece that i needed to complete it….

and don’t worry…i’ll show some pics of the final look as soon as i get her bed made..

because i am doing laundry as i write…

and…

her sheets happen to be in there….

i don’t know about you….

but ….

oh never mind….

do you really want to know that my sheets don’t get

washed as often as they should…

as a matter of fact i read that

sheets should be laundered ….

at least once a week…..

gasp

…once a week!

{just for the record…i’m pretty sure my mother in law is reading this….so i’m just stating it here..

that the sheets will be laundered the day she arrives…..pinky promise}

back to the chair….it’s a pale blue grey……

i even love how the button above is hanging off from a thread…with that little pillow being one

of my favorites…..


with the curvy legs and wide seat….{sorta reminds me of myself}……

i’m just saying….

but please let me just mention that i have been hitting

the gym this week….

early…

as in… 6 am early….
i am on a roll…..


I also wanted to mention that i took bryan to see the beloved farm last sunday. He fell in love with it….actually…..he fell in love with the….
man room……
a room of wood …and beams…and yes…
a mini fridge.
my man fell in love with a man room.
You don’t think he gets tired of sitting on our white slip covered sofa’s do you?

Oh..and one more thing…

seriously now…

i just want to let you know that i will be one of

those girls…..

yes…

one of those girls…

the over 30 ..married with children…

heading to the movies with some friends..

to see robert pattinson….

aka ..

edward…

yes..that will be me in the theatre…

drooling.

Confessions of a simple girl….

November 17, 2009


Oh…..hello there.
It’s me kasey. You really can’t see my face because i’m a wee bit sleep deprived.
I believe my kid ate too many germs ……he actually over indulged….
because i am home again this week….
with another pox infected child.
Which pretty much means….
no school all week
no play dates all week
no gym all week
errr…
i guess i can still go to the gym if i wanted to cart by big butt out of bed
at 5 in the morning….
which i’ve been known to do….
So…when fin came waddling into my room at two oclock in the morning…
i just knew something wasn’t right….
especially when he said…
‘mommy….i’m really itchy’….
grrrr……is what the sleepy mommy said…
then the light bulb when off in my head….
let’s see….the doctor said …between 2 and 3 weeks incubation…..
ta-da
and here we are.
Anyways…i don’t have much to say other than we had a new kitchen faucet put in
this last weekend….
and i had no idea how expensive those things are…..
and of course i had to have a pretty one…
and when i called the plumber to come install it…
he pulled up in a
BMW.
Seriously…..the man that walked out of that car was not a
plumber…..
he couldn’t be…..
and he had on designer jeans…..
tight…designer jeans.
I introduced myself…..
blah…blah…blah..
trying not to stare at his behind……
as he bent over under the sink……
whew…
i had to remember that Bryan was in the room too…
and he looked at me salivating all over the floor….
and rolled his eyes at me.
This my friends…is the story of a woman who doesn’t get out much..
because of pox infected children.

Dreaming of white…

November 14, 2009

I’ve already started sprucing up for the holidays….and what i love best is doing little vignette’s. I started

last week and already finished with the mantel.

Can you believe it’s only the middle of november….and since we never have thanksgiving hosted here

at my home…

there is no need for any turkey decorations….

don’t get me wrong…

i love turkeys….

i might even have my own one day…

if i can get my hubby to agree on living on a farm….

which by the way…he has agreed to see with me.

So..keep your fingers crossed that we win the lottery…

i might even share some with you.


My kids came home last week to me stuffing marshmallows into this glass container….

so i had no worries that if any of them fell of the floor….

because we live by the 45 second rule in my home…

yes…

i know…

you all live off the 3 second rule…

but us…we like the 45 second one a bit more….

saves us some money….

like if one of the kids dropped an ice cream cone…

i’m all about saying….

take your time….no hurry….

because i’m not getting another one…

i have a feeling that’s how my kids stay so healthy…

we eat our germs…

seriously…

i mean…has your kid ever dropped an ice cream cone

on the floor of chuck e cheese……

yup…..

we eat our germs….

i even think that the kids stay even healthier by eating

their own buggers…..

at least the little guy does….

and i swear he’s only had one sick day so far.

Now me….i’m actually in bed right now…sick…..

and i have a feeling i use to much hand sanitizer…

and go a little crazy with the lysol spray.

But that’s just me…

Anyhoo…

how the heck do i start chatting about my mantel display and get off on the whole kids eat buggers thing…

must be the Tylenol p.m. kicking in….

that way i can take a wee nap and be up in time to watch a little SNL….because normally i’m sawing logs when it comes on…

see…i’m telling you up front that i go to bed early…..

then i can dream of….

dairy barns…..

ok…

so….back to the whole holiday thing….

i plan on being finished holiday shopping by December 24th…

you heard that right….

i am not one of those that was done in june….

ok…maybe Dec 22nd…if i’m really lucky.

So…to kick off the holiday season….

and because i love a little giveaway…..

i have a little “holiday pick me up” package for you.

A darling knit button hat {like the one above}, a $10 starbucks giftcard, and the new Michael Buble c.d…

all wrapped up with a bow for you.
Leave a comment…and i’ll choose one of you by Tuesday.
Oh…and new song on the playlist….’straight lines’ by
dawn landes..

p.s. The winner of the “meet me for wine” Scarf giveaway from sage creek is Christy Donohoe. {email me}
