I saw this bed on a blog this morning, and remembered looking at it awhile back on the Ethan Allen website but for some reason this time I love love love it. The bed I have now is an antique iron bed that is white and I thought that is what I would be looking for when we bought a king size bed, but not now. This bed is hands down amazing...looks like I need to start saving up for this puppy. Although saving would come easier if I had a job for the fall, but leave it to this town to be in a hiring freeze. Poor Jeremy is never going to be able to get away from my girlie southern living-antique-ish style, poor thing will probably die in a english country rose pattern bed sheet. But hey, the sooner we buy this bed the sooner he can sleep on the blue and green stripe shabby chic sheets...they were our girlie compromise, girlie enough for me, and as not girlie as shabby chic gets for him.
Since Jeremy is starting the P90X {yay no more bad Jeremy food to tempt me}program Monday we wouldn't be able to make him a cake on his birthday, or at least one that he would eat. So I improvised and am forcing him to chomp down a cake this weekend. This of course was my first attempt to make Tres Leches Cake from scratch, I made it out of a box once, and it turned out really good. Jeremy loves it, and I think I am finally winning him over to my side{he is the only person that ever told me he prefered his mother's cooking over mine, he has finally admitted I cook better}.
Can you tell it's Saturday? Nothing in the world makes Ellie and Maddie happier than both of us sitting in bed watching movies. There have been days, seriously, where I couldn't find Maddie and looked and looked for her only to eventually realized she was left in the bed...and didn't want to be removed from the bed either. And now that they have to sleep in the dog/laundry room they use any chance they get to get in our bed. Lazy skunks...that reminds me, it's bath day.
It's a picture of a picture but it occured in the world before pre digital cameras. This was taken at the Christmas parade my Sophomore year of high school, and yup for those who didn't know I use to be a majorette. Back when there were still majorettes at Vidalia High, and if there happen to be majorettes now...I feel sorry for you gals cause no one can compare to our sponser Mrs. Debbie, she was just hands down awesome at anything involving a baton.
Unlike the Artsian and Classic stand mixers the Professional 5qt Heavy Duty has 475 watts and is commercial style. It does have a drop bowl instead of a tilt head, but it came in Onyx and could probable mix concrete.
Before I ever met Jeremy I had a list of things I wanted on my bridal registry, I'm talking freshmen year of high school way back. Since I was a little kid I loved to cook, and since I knew what a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer was I have wanted one. Now I am about to finish off my registry with the biggest decision of my 23 year old life, no not kids, not buying a house, and unlike girls my age...not a boob job, I am buying a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer. But which one do I buy??The 5 quart artsian or the 4 1/2 quart classic, both have the same attachment options, but they don't come in the same color. Now...do I spend the $299.99 on the color 5 quart or do I save $100 and get the 4 1/2 quart. Which might I add would leave me money to buy a water purfier{Monroe water literally taste like dirt and I want to save money by not buying bottled water} and maybe hit up the antique shop and buy something to decorate with. What to do, what to do?. Oh and the cheaper one only comes in white, I happen to really want the Ice blue or Onyx black. Well you be the judge, here are the stats on both mixers:Get into the mix. When it comes to stand mixers, KitchenAid knows what they're doing. This mixer features a powerful 250-watt motor, tilt-up head, 10 speed controls, 4.5-qt. stainless steel bowl, and includes a flat beater, dough hook, wire whip and bonus spatula. It can even knead two loaves of bread at once.
This is hands down my group of friends go-to tanning product. You can buy it at the dollar store for a few bucks and it will char you to a lovely summer tan/burn. I wore it at the lake the week of the wedding and couldn't get back int he boat because I was so greasy it caused me to keep sliding off the side, luckily my friend Ethan came to my rescue and pulled me in by my life vest{otherwise I would have had to swim back or something}. But all in all I was the most tan/greasy of the group{most people act like I'm insane when I grease up}.
Last but certainly not least is my hands down favorite place to be...Bogue Chitto in Pike County, MS. I have spent countless summers camping and tubing there and have loved every minute of it. Nothing in the world is quite as peaceful/fun as floating down a river in Mississippi all day long. Which might I add is where we are headed tomorrow morning! I can't wait for Jeremy to get off work so we can head to V-town and get ready for our tubing experience this year. Luckily my long time sidekick/MOH is in town to float with me. Because as Jeremy will soon learn, Gabby and I always have fun, and we are usually a handfull...that potentially causes trouble. But that is who we like it.
Ahh all done packing...and ready to leave for heaven/Bogue Chitto.
Finished product, and it actually works. I love monograms, so it is so much fun for me to be able to monogram things now. I am one of those people who look at girls like they are nuts for going by their soon to be husband's name before the "name change" so to uphold my rule of "its tacky to go by Mrs. Blank Blank when your still a Ms. Blank" {sorry recently I have been amazed at women wanting so badly to ditch their name, I've had the same name for 23 years and happen to be one of the last ones who will have this name in our blood line so why should I be so excited to pretend to change it pre wedding} I with held personally monograming things. I've been a C for 23 years, why should I so quickly change to a B in a moments notice. As a side note: it didn't go over well with Jeremy that I wanted to hyphenate my name, I ended up not doing it, but if a girl wants to who cares, it's not 1723 anymore.
But back to the chalkboard...I am still trying to pry the little metal pieces that held it in the cabnit and haven't had an idea good enough to trust it won't break it. But untill then we will admire our chalkborad grocery list/potential calendar/to do list on the counter.
