Foyer Before and After

HEY, THERE'S MY BIG GIANT HEAD UP THERE.  Oh, well, I guess it works.

Anyway, we bought a house.  It had a serious case of the 80's.  But I love it, and we (mostly Harv) worked really hard to make it look pretty.

This is what the foyer used to look like:

Seriously.  Death by wallpaper.  25-year-old wallpaper.

AFTER:

 

Aaaaaaahhh...That's better. 

Even the chandelier grew on me.

Also, wedding photography love:  http://www.aprilandpaul.com/

We've done almost all the big things in all the other rooms, too.  I've just got a few more little things to get "just so" before I take pictures.

Happy

Day 22: a picture of something that makes me happy

That's easy.  My husband!

...and my stupid dogs <3

 (I went outside and found them like this one day.  I asked what they were doing.  He said, "watching the rain.")  shrug.

Oh, and ponies!

Dream Car

Day 21: my dream car

Ok, so I like plain old regular cars that have good gas mileage and high safety ratings.  I really like my Jetta.  I'll probably just keep buying Volkswagens forever and never ever buy anything very expensive.  Let's face it, cars get you from point A to point B.  An expensive car is a waste of money.  Also, they're just not attractive to me because of what they say about you.  Every time I see a tiny girl with big sunglasses and two kids in an incredibly expensive, GIGANTIC SUV, I think, "What a shallow freaking little twit.  That is totally not necessary.  She can't even drive the thing worth a crap."  When I see someone in an ostentatious sports car (usually a guy with absolutely ridiculously huge muscles and a t shirt with the sleeves cut off), I think, "Yep. Overcompensating."  So, even if I had a DREAM amount of money, I don't think I'd buy a "dream" car.   

...But if we're talking about DREAMS, like what would make you the happiest girl in the world (if you could actually drive one on the road) kind of dreams...

I WANT A WHO CAR!

I mean, my husband would totally LOVE to pimp one of these, too.

...Or a WHO BUS!?

...So...You can probably tell from my "dream car" and the "dream house" in the previous post that maybe I'm not exactly cut out for the real reality of the real world and that I live in my head most of the time.  What can I say?  That's just who I am.

Catch Up, Round 2

Day 16: something I don't leave the house without:  PHONE

Day 17: something I'm looking forward to:  finishing school and once again becoming a productive member of society

Day 18: bad habits: Pinterest, digging in my pimples with needles, eating fat kid food

Day 19: my favorite stores to shop: um...Target.  I do most of my shopping online.

Day 20: dream house: HOBBIT HOLE.  duh.

Celebrity Crush?

Day 15: my celebrity crush

Um...I don't think about it much... I suppose I have to pick one, though.  So...I pick the Sheriff of Nottingham, Colonel Brandon, Professor Snape, ALAN RICKMAN.  I know, it's weird.  He's old and stuff.  Whatever, he's cool as hell!

I mean, Always. <3

Favorite TV Shows...and Vday

Day 14: favorite TV shows

Are you kidding me? Favorite TV shows?! Um... All of them!

Dark Shadows, Star Trek TOS, Star Trek TNG, Downton Abbey, Buffy, The Tudors, Ruby Gloom, Pingu, Pucca, True Blood, Walking Dead, Trailer Park Boys, Highlander, Inuyasha... I'm sure I'm missing something here, but let's call this the "short list."


AAAANNNDD...today was Valentine's Day. So happy Valentine's Day, blood suckers!

Fail.

Ok, so I fail the 30 day blog challenge.  I admit it.  I just fail.  I'm just not gonna blog every day.  It's like flossing my teeth or eating one potato chip.  I just can't make myself do it.  So, here we go: abbreviated catch up for all my fails.

Day 6: something I'm afraid of = heights

Day 7: my dream wedding: BAM!

Day 8: 3 classic pieces I want for my closet

           1. I really want a grey sleeveless pencil dress with a black skinny belt at the waist.  It apparently doesn't exist.

           2. I need some closed toe black pumps.  I wore the taps off of mine years ago.

           3. I REALLY want this hoodie thing.  I'd be like a ringwraith of a dementor or something.  But it's like a hundred bucks or something, and that seems a bit high for a hoodie.

Day 9: a picture of the last item I purchased...  It's a coffee mug from etsy for Harvey.  It hasn't even shipped yet, and shhhhh, it's a surprise.  ;)

Day 10: something that stresses me out = stupid people

Day 11: what's in my purse = phone, wallet, makeup bag, glasses, sunglasses, chapstick, pens, usually an assortment of medicine...

Day 12: worst job I've ever had

I've only ever had the one.  It wasn't so bad, except for the mad crazy separation anxiety.

Day 13: my favorite musician and why?

Trent Reznor.  Because he's a genius.  Duh.
