furniture probation...

sad face times a million!  brett has "requested" a furniture buying probation (funny that he asked) so we can save money for travel.  i guess that's not a bad trade off but i want FURNITURE!! hahahaha
so memorial/my birthday weekend we're going to go to myrtle beach...hopefully with the Bushes...or is it Bushs'...anyway.  possibly seattle also and a trip home.  we can't forget about the two weddings brett and i are in later in the year!!!!wahoooooooooooooooooo
my dining room chairs arrived (thanks mom and sandy) so i'll post the gorg picture soon!
oh!  and i tried one of bethanny frankel's tofu chocolate muffins and they were awesome.  like tricked-brett awesome.  soooooo sneaky huh!?!?!?    i told him though but he wasn't happy they weren't fatty muffins.
i also got some apple sauce to make more sneaky treats.  love.

one more thing...

i want to add boxes around the sidebar titles...but i haven't mastered writing htmls or whatever....can anyone help????

New look

as you can see, i updated the look of the blog that no one reads :)  maybe its because it was easier than trying to redo my living room.  i told brett i was unhappy with the way the living room looks and feels...he continues to say "i don't have to complete the whole house right away" blah blah blah.  i know, i know. its just hard to stick to that.  my mom is coming in this weekend (with our FABULOUS new dining chairs) so maybe she'll have some input to offer. 

until then, i'm hunkering down with puppy on my lap during this "winter storm" we have here in georgia.  

k bye!

new year, new projects....

i know most of us feel that blah feeling regarding our house...its so empty now without all the people, decorations and chaos that is christmas!  i'm feel especially BLAH about our living room....we decided not to paint it when we moved it b/c its a very large space with high ceilings but now it just seems so minimal and not in a good way.  i wanted to do a gallery of pictures on the wall surrounding the TV but brett wasn't a fan b/c we don't have a ton of pictures. hmmm...what else could we do with this WALL??????
i guess it doesn't help that i'm not waking up feeling refreshed.  headaches all the time, backaches all the time and this stupid ear infection/vertigo threw me for a loop.
brett and i decided not to NY resolutions but overall goals for ourselves, us, things we want to do together, etc.  i've decided that since i don't drink enough water, i will use our pretty pitcher we got from the wedding and have on hand yummy cucumber/mint water, lemon water, orange water, etc.  hopefully it will make it more appealing??!?! we'll see.
i'm also going to try to blog more but i feel like i don't have as much to offer....hmmmm......
that's all for now...sorry!
