hello, lover....

-
remember that scene in sex and the city where carrie is walking up a manhattan street and she sees some manolo's in a window, to which she coos: "hello, lover!" that's me with anything 70's, loud and obnoxious!!
rob's mom is in town so we went to the sleepy beach town of carpinteria for the weekend with his brother and family. on saturday afternoon the boys and men lounged around the house while the ladies wandered around town. after the trip to the upscale kiddie consignment shop and the candy store we wandered into an antique shop. normally i prefer to go to flea markets or garage sale bc the word antique tends to add more $$ to the price...
i wandered around and was waiting for melinda to decide what to get... then i turned around and it was love at first sight!!!

then i opened it!! there were 4!!! wow!

amazing!!!!

i am in my glory.
so then i get home monday and find out i have a package waiting at the post office...i'm dying to know what's in the box!!
it's my awesome 70's napkin holder that my mom started using when i moved home after college.


when i had been home i had my dad mail me my awesome avocado goblets bc i was afraid they would break after the birch beer incident (i never posted pictures of them did i? well they are still in the box in my garage bc i am keeping hope alive that i will somehow find a house to buy..so someday you will see them!)..
so now my mom is slowly working on clearing out her basement and garage (i mean SLOWLY!!) so hopefully i'll get a few more surprises mailed to me..i know i have a few more boxes of beautiful green glassware hidden somewhere...
and the best part? i called my mom to tell her i got the napkin holder and i told her about my awesome canisters and we got on to my whole avocado obsession, and then my mom (aka mistress of ebay) went on ebay and started looking at avocado glassware!! fingers crossed!!!

house porn

-
so i'm addicted to house porn. well before we ever started looking for a house i was watching house hunters and hgtv. i would also frequent assorted online real estate sites. when were where looking at houses i would go online and look to see if anything new had been listed multiple times a day. i would also look at the million dollar homes and even homes that were just out of our price range. on occasion i would be chatting with a friend from college on facebook (hi colleen) and i would send her the links to the million dollar homes. she told me i was sending her house porn. now i know i'm not the only one out there who is addicted to house porn. don't all speak up at once... so anyway, last week my husband and i were having a discussion about a set he had worked on. (he builds sets for tv shows) he was referencing something and so of course i googled it. sadly i could find no real pictures of the set although i did find tons of video. i just don't really have the p...

Life has changed

-
I know I know...I said a few years ago I was going to write more... then I didn't.   Well things have changed. I mean really really changed.  The mr and I had a baby! The little man is going to be 1 in a few days.  So that really changes life.  I was very lucky that I was able to take 6 months maternity leave from my job! Then when I went back to work mom and dad put their life on hold and came out from the east coast for 6 months.  I also got lucky that my first day back ( as a retail manager) was the day after the day after Christmas! I missed all of the holidays, so that was an extra bonus.  The next step was trying to find a day care that could work with my schedule, which is different every week and I find it out 2 weeks in advance. This proved to be extremely difficult.My work has a life assistance program and I called them several times to try to source day cares. They came back with a list of about 4 each time that didn't 100% meet our ...

spandex is a privilege

-
so while walking to my car after work i was reminded of a line from a classic movie from the early to mid 90's hackers "spandex is a privilege, not a right" sooo true! oh 90's movies you speak to me on soo many levels. how i miss the 90's! not so much the early 90's like high school, but the early to mid 90's like college. those were the days! feeling the waves of nostalgia roll over me... but i digress there was a big girl wearing leggings as pants. (ok not spandex, but pretty damn close!) and i don't mean with a tunic or longer top, but with a normal length shirt falling just below the waist. really? do i need to see that? really? no, no i don't i understand being comfortable with your body, but would you wear a bikini on the beach? probably not now i consider my to be a big girl, not huge, but i could stand to lose a few pounds (which i'm not even going to think about until after christmas bc to me december is alll about food!) i might not...
