Two Fridas

Feeling nostaglic...

Isaac Matthew, I love you with my whole heart. I can't imagine my life without you in it...

Obligatory Blizzard Post

I'm seriously craving some time at the Jershey shore. I don't need a tropical island. I'm content to take a ride down the AC Expressway to sit around in Ocean City.

And to my neighbor's-- it's time for you to take down your "Welcome Fall" flag. You know, since it's buried under 2 feet of snow.

I can't take anymore of weather like this:

Shoveling sucks. There is at least two feet of snow on my driveway and I gave up after about 45 mins. I'll go back out later...

Maybe....

Isaac is at his dad's for the weekend and since obviously I am not going anywhere I've been trying to not go crazy here. Other than the nieghbor's kids that rang my bell to offer to shovel my driveway (sadly I had no cash...) I haven't seen or interacted with another live person in over 24 hours. Lonely...

I've been quite lazy today. My attempt at organizing the office was thwarted when I inspired to make this:

I really need a mantle for projects like that.

Cheap

Decorating on a (ridiculously tiny) budget... These were from Kohl's. Aren't they cute?

Thrift store find! This cute little trivet.

s I was inspired by this post but I had no marbles. I grabbed the frames at the dollar store and used pink scrapbook paper I already had. Just ran the paper through the printer and cut them to size.

My new collection.

Also, see my new paint color? Although you can't tell from this particular picture, I did do the whole living room. I inherited a gallon of that color leftover from my brother's house. We bought one more and went crazy. It makes the whole room so much more cozy. The stairwells will eventually be done in a complementary color.

Not me Monday (on saturday)

I'm joining in this week (albeit a little early) * My four year old did NOT clog up the upstairs toilet with about half a roll of the thick expensive toilet paper I recently bought. And I did NOT wait and let my brother deal with the toilet when he called to say he was five minutes away.

* I did NOT watch the Lifetime special The Pregnancy Pact two and a half times this week...

* I do NOT put things on my to-do list that I have already done simply for the pleasure of seeing them crossed off. Nope, never. * This is NOT the pile of clean laundry I must fold and put away (along with the two more loads in the basement, and now the bathmat [for the second time today] which was flooded with toilet water less than an hour after I pulled it out of the dryer and placed in back on the bathroom floor) . *I did NOT take my bra off in the living room the other day when I was watching TV and throw it behind the couch because I was too lazy to take it upstairs. And Isaac did NOT discover it and pull it out when my brother and his girlfriend were over today. And if that were to occur, I certainly would NOT blame the cats and make up a story about them dragging my laundry all over the house... *Neither this week, nor any other week have I taken the laptop into the bathroom with me... no, not me... NEVER!

* I do NOT occasionally give in and let Isaac put on some of my make-up.

*Isaac did NOT start singing "Yeah" by Lil Jon and Usher in front of PDH. I did NOT have to try to come up with an explanation while PDH looked horrified that I would let my son listen to that song often enough to memorize the chorus... (for the record, he has a photographic memory, for real). Nope. Not me.

So..

I think I've figured out why my sweaters are always on the floor of my closet.

Seriously, this cat is insane.
Nothing like Saffron, the angel cat.
But at times he can be so loveable...
