Stuff and Things 9/25



+This is the pantry door I painted over the weekend.  Scott is a fan of bold colors and I'm not necessarily, so this was a nice compromise.  Now I can paint the kitchen gray or something. I bought this sign at World Market a month ago and it's become the inspiration for the rest of the kitchen.  A deconstructed, modern/antique styled kitchen.



+New countertops are coming Monday.  This is the most exciting development yet.

+Pumpkin Swap partners have been sent out!  If you haven't heard from your partner yet, please let me or Becky know.  And please, let's thank Becky for sending out the partners.  I really appreciate her taking on that responsibility!  


+I have a pretty loose definition of country music.  I don't like the stuff that's blasted on the radio.  I prefer to explore my Pandora stations. This song has been everywhere though and, while I enjoy it, it can't possibly be classified as country.



These are the thoughts I have on my 30-some minute commute.  I've been meaning to mention this for weeks.

+Remember back when I had a borderline inappropriate crush on Hunter Hayes? I now find myself listening to a lot of Thomas Rhett.  No tour dates in Colorado anytime soon.  And he's only like 4 years younger than me, so not nearly as inappropriate.  




+Speaking of young, I set up a retirement account the other day.  This is in addition to the automatic withdrawal one provided by my district.  When the consultant asked me how much "liquid" I brought home each month, I was a bit flustered to realize I didn't really know.  Also, I couldn't stop thinking of Chuck Bass after that.


I was going to be all, "Hehe, 'liquid' equals Chuck Bass in my mind.  How bout you? Do you watch Gossip Girl?". But considering that the consultant was a 30 year old male who already presumed me to be an idiot, I decided against it.

Stuff and Things 5/29


Can't stop watching Gossip Girl….

Chuck:  You were late.
Blair: I got caught in a text flurry… with Dorota.

The next time I'm late it will be because of a text flurry.

Scott asked if he could watch Game of Thrones the other night as I was laying in bed trying to watch Mad Men.  I said, "Yeah…can you bring me my headphones?"  He said, "YOU HAVE A PROBLEM."  He knew I meant "Bring me my headphones so I can watch Gossip Girl on the iPad while you watch (the recently most boring) Game of Thrones on t.v. and we can still lay here and pretend we're spending time together."  This is how well we know each other after 5 years of marriage.

I hated the Mad Men finale.  Like, could barely watch it.  Thoughts?  Weiner better bring it next spring.  Or maybe I'm so accustomed to the drama on the above-mentioned show that anything else would pale in comparison.

Onto other things…

I got a new blog design from the sweet Angi at Angi Clark Designs.  She was kind enough to a) suggest it, and b) do it for free as a moving present.   I realized that I get a new one every time we move.

Our life has been pushed into upheaval mode.  Again.  We're PCSing with a full do-it-yourself move over the next week.  Woo-hoo.

This little guy turned one year old over the weekend.


And I bought a new dog basket that says "Things".  To go with the basket that says "Stuff".  
Get it?
