In my next life ...

... I want to come back as this guy.

Neither one of these pictures were staged; he just thinks he can sleep wherever he wants.

Ignore the awful couch... we are working on replacing it... The sooner the better.

Niche Niche

We have these 2 art niche's in the house that are still empty... I am very picky when it comes to what I place there, which is why they are still empty.

I can tell you what I do not want: pictures with people in them / family pictures, generic art, large candle holders/metal wall hangings that hold votives, metal leaf designs, silk flowers, etc.

I found a print that I think would look wonderful in one niche, now I just need to figure out the second. I think the other one needs some depth and dimension. This picture does not do a good job, but the other one is pretty tall (about 6') and about 12" deep. Ideas?

The second this sweater goes on sale, it will be mine.

I think that it looks an awful lot like J Crew, but at only $40 it is much more wallet friendly.

(I am not going to buy one more piece of maternity clothing!)

And best wishes to Baby J and the MMM family!

Shoes!

Why are Banana Republic mark downs not the same at every store or online? Sunday afternoon I was at one location and found a pair of shoes marked down from $130 to $27. They did not have my size (and would not call another store) so I stopped by store #2 on my way home. Success! But, this pair was only marked down $47. I told them that they were marked down even lower at a different location and asked if they could call to verify and give me the lower price. The manager told me that they generally do not do things like that, but would make an exception.

I ended up getting the shoes for around $20, since all women’s shoes were an additional 30% off. (mine are black)

Moral of story – cross your fingers that your local Banana is nice and does the good mark downs... And a Banana salesperson once told me that they get their leather from the same place Coach gets their leather. Interesting.

(For my Dallas people – West Village seems to generally have lower prices than any other location…North Park is where I ended up buying them)

Strike 3.

"And to think that you are not due until March.... you are going to have to be carted around in a wheel barrow."

Ladies and Gents -- that would qualify as strike 3.


This will be my last baby/pregnancy post for a while. I promise. It gets old -- yes, I know.

Private Baby Blog

I am creating a private blog for baby updates and pictures. I want to be able to use real names and such without having to worry about those weirdos out there.

Let me know if you want an invite.... make sure to include your email.

3 strikes and you are out

There is a person at my office feels the need to act like she is waddling down the hallway when she passes me.

This is also the same person that told me that my dress looked like a tent.

Strike one.
Strike two.
I can't wait to see what she does for strike 3.

(Let me just say, I was on my way to the kitchen for my morning snack -- an orange and Caffeine Free Diet Coke. And my lunch will be a Lean Cuisine and a banana. We will not discuss what she eats.)

To be a fly on the wall...

Wow... this would have been an awesome lunch. Whether you like these guys or not, they have all done some pretty incredible things and I love the fact they all got together for something other than a funeral.

What do you think they talked about? Think they offered Bush condolences on his cat that just recently passed away?
