Coffee Day: My new office!

Firstly, before I get to the highlight of my blog today, this picture is for Nikki. And others I suppose.

Nikki got me a fabulous necklace that had orange and yellow beads and I realized, I have neither of those colors. So that led us to an insane endeavor to discover orange for me to wear. I love orange, but the clothing options for orange are not as bountiful as other other colors.

So I found this orange cardigan majigger at Charming Charlie and while I felt weird in it at first, I'm finding I like it a lot, but I still had nothing to wear with it. I was putting away laundry and hanging dresses and saw this shirt and shouted "ORANGE!" The dress shirt has orange, coral white and fuchsia spots! It didn't have a neckline appropriate for the necklace, but I was able to wear my cardigan-type... thing... I dunno what to call it.



This isn't the best pic, but I was so tired and didn't care...

Now onto the highlight of the post. My desk came in! I'm so pleased! Chris did most of the work to set it up and we put dinner on hold till about 8 to get it all in order. (Thank you cupcake!)




I then went to Target and got some "Organizing tools" to make it really functional.


The cubes are (as you probably guessed) the ones you hang on the wall, but I wanted more space on the desk so they are being utilized as seen above. Got little prep bowls for paperclips, tacks, etc.

I'm so thrilled!
I'll have to hit the sack soon I suppose as I may go hit up some flea markets in Ohio with my parents and some family friends who are in visiting. I am feeling VERY accomplished today :) I should sleep easy after a shower.

WWU: Fireworks & A Flapper

Happy Independence Day!

The weekend is too short. I found myself thinking about getting away for a few days this past week. I don't care where. Just me and my husband going somewhere that isn't here, staying in a hotel and seeing the area. But then I think about leaving poor Xerxes (the cat) alone. And I get very upset.

While we didn't hit the road, we did make a trip downtown to eat at Pita Pit, somewhere I have always wanted to go, but never had anyone to go with. We officially find it delicious. Thank goodness they have the Philly Cheese-steak because Chris would not have gone for it otherwise. We got home and he determined he wanted another. I foresee more yummies in my tummy in my future.

As I mentioned before, I was trying to find the mats to make a feather hairpiece to wear with my brightest tights and I have so far failed. However, after seeing the price range of the feathers I wanted, I opted to pick up my hairpiece at Charming Charlie.

This evening Chris and I decided to light some sparklers and some snakes my sister gave me. Xerxes was watching from the door and when I lit the first sparkler, he went ballistic and ran off, not to be seen for a good 20-30 minutes. It is apparent that he is not a fan of bright hissing lights. But that's OK because I'm not a fan of him rolling around on my keyboard and making it impossible to do just about anything on my computer so we're even.



I want to get my car personalized and make it officially mine. I had some stickers on my previous vehicle that I loved and people who knew me, knew that car was mine. Unfortunately, I can't find those stickers ANYWHERE now.

All of my other stickers I bought from Hot Topic and I'm pretty sure they were Lounge Fly. But Hot Topic's sticker selection is now 1/4 what it was and Lounge Fly's website either has no stickers, or I am blind with stupidity and cannot see them.

While searching on trusty Etsy, I found some "family" stickers Chris and I had seen on someone's car about a year ago. I love these so much! These may be a purchase in the near future!


Store: The Lucky Labs

I bought my Alliance (WoW) cutout sticker from Jinx but they are sold out... forever, or at least it seems that way. I did find one on Etsy though that's customizable! I am gonna give it a shot and hope that it's awesome and not a waste of $6. I'll report back when I get it. I hope it's fantastic.

Tomorrow I look forward to fireworks and sparklers and hopefully food with friends!

And holy crap I just realized it's 11:30!
