not so avocado kitchen part deux!

-
so i don't know if i mentioned it, but something my husband is a very well connected man...
well not really but that sounds better than right place, right time!
so he was able to get us some fancy smancy kitchen cabinets!
i don't know if i ha mentioned that our current cabinets are kinda crappy?
the one set of uppers is falling apart and i can't put more than kitchen towels in there..so essentially they are empty. wasted space
so i don't want to say where he got them for fear of getting in trouble- not  its not illegal!! they didn't "fall off a truck" and if they did they probably would have fallen apart or at the very least gotten severely dinged up.
anyways...
we are not re- doing the kitchen....kinda
i had already painted so the pyramid gold is staying. sadly we might loose the avocado...like i had sad the paint didn't come out right- its sticky and how long ago did we paint it???
so..wanna see the cabinets?
this is in the dining room going towards the living room!
2 steps closer to the living room..

if you squint you can see the couch



and towards the dining room from the living room..

























































so..that's where we were for about a week
but i have and awesome hubby who's super handy!!
and he's gotten half the base cabinets in so far..
and its been a kitten free for all climbing the cabinets....pics of that to come later...

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...
