Hurry Grab It!

I've been looking for a night stand to paint but haven't had any luck. It's not something we needed right away so I knew I had time and wanted to find one with 2 drawers and under $30. There's quite a few flea markets around so I thought I would eventually find one. Today, on our walk, this beautiful stand was abandoned on the corner! Perfect.

Professor Goo

Harrison is sharpening his teaching skills on Ryan. He's really enjoying the chalkboard wall. Now if we can just get him to stay on the "black wall" and not the floor, boxes, other walls, clothes, cat . . .

No Mama No

Just like his mama, it takes Harrison quite a bit of time to wake up. Whether it be in the morning or an afternoon nap, we need a good 15 minutes before we're ready to face the world.

Moving Celebration

Tonight we officially moved into our house (kinda). We are living out of boxes and trying to get organized which is a monster of a task. To escape the madness of the house, we went out for fried pickles and milk shakes. These two foods somehow make everything better :)

Gorilla Business

My hometown has a gorilla mascot for a vacuum cleaner store. Why? Good question, maybe because they're hairy? Tough? Mean? Everything you want in your vacuum. The store used to be located on one of the busiest intersections of town. With all that exposure, gorilla was kidnapped. Not once or twice but several times. He was always returned; not sure what ransom is these days. The store now has a new location on the north side of town and they wheel him in every night for safe keeping. This guy has been through a lot so next time you're vacuuming take a moment to give thanks for the gorilla mascot.

No Paper?!?

I HATE gas station restrooms (actually airplanes are worst). I try at all cost to avoid them but sometimes nature calls and you have no choice. I noticed this sign "Please put all paper in the trash can, not the toilet. Thank you!" Well, technically it's called toilet paper so it is paper, do they want it in the trash? I dismissed the sign and put it in the commode. Then I was grossed out wondering if others put it in the trash can b/c lid looked pretty nasty.

Life is Good

As I was driving tonight, I was listening to a Taylor Swift album. It's full of stories about young love, heartache and one song about appreciating her parents. It made me think how BLESSED I am to have a loving family and wonderful friends, whether they are across the street, in a different county or state or even country. I cherish all of my relationships and can't imagine my life without any of you!
