Midweek Check In
Happy Hump Day to you and yours! Anyone else having a case of the "short week feels longer than a regular week" yet or does that hit tomorrow? Unfortunately, Monday afternoon the tweens/teens found the pool not too far from the abode so we got to listen to the hootings of young, insecure males attempting to show off for both girls and their fellow brethren. I'm really hoping this is just some cousins visiting or something for the weekend because I know of only one teen boy here and he's a loner. Is pool season over yet? It always starts strong like this and then typically dies down within a month but what an irritating month it is until then. We did some more work out on the patio Monday. It was going to be the last sunny day before two days of forecasted rain...again. I made sure to get the new picket painted and hung to cover this delightful sight: When the picket was off, I could see how bad the support 2x4's looked on the fence. ...
I cannot stop laughing at the squirrel. It's not that there is anything wrong with it, it's just odd to me that someone decided to make a speaker out of something like that.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks pretty cool though, if we only had the room for it. You did a good photoshop job on that one photo, I wouldn't have known if you hadn't told me.
They have a bear and some other animal too. You know you want one!
DeleteI like the squirrel too. I really like bowls and cups of all kinds. If I had space I'd have like a million bowls and cups of different sizes, shapes and colors. Most would have no purpose but I would like looking at them and all of these would fit right in.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really crushing on anything right now. However, if you happen to come across a house-stretcher on your searches please let me know.
Me too! I love looking into my cupboard and seeing multi-colored bowls stacked up. I want a house that has at least 1 or 2 glass door cupboards so I can show 'em off like art! I'll send the house stretcher on to you when I'm done!
DeleteMy friend is crazy about squirrels. I'm going to send her the link. :)
ReplyDeleteYou missed the perfect opportunity to say your friend was NUTS about squirrels! Oh wait, maybe I'm the only one that says stuff that corny. :O
DeleteI just got the Owl West Elm speaker! (It's the same but just a different animal). It's perfect for my office because I can't play my music too loud in there anyway. It's so cute. I am weirdly obsessed with it.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!!! You should be obsessed with it, super cute!
DeleteThe squirrel was hilarious..
ReplyDeleteI liked the mixing bowls..i am obsessed with coffee mugs of different shapes and sizes...need a bigger place to start my collection!!!
They just need to make a gopher so I can play Kenny Loggin's "I'm Alright" through it. We have a rather extensive mug collection and only use 20% of them. D'oh
DeleteI like your choices! Kinda dorky but I'd like to get a cute little juicer that I can use by hand for fresh oj and stuff. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteNot dorky at all. Anthropologie has an AWESOME white one that has little flowers carved into it. I think I had it on a former crush list!
DeleteI don't think you're high--the peacock bowl and willow spheres were my favorite!
ReplyDeleteYay!! I'm gonna be stalking the sale ads for them!
DeleteI always think you're high. jk. I just loved how you phrased that!
ReplyDeleteI loved the peacock plate the best- I'm not a super kitchen-y person as, at my age, I prefer to spend as little time in there as possible.
You're a brat! :P
DeleteHA! I get it. I haven't grown tired of the kitchen stuff so I tend to gravitate toward that stuff. I think my next crush is going to be beauty related. My favorite hair products, etc.
The doormat reminds me of the one I have on my wishlist...only mine is not so nice. :D http://www.amazon.com/William-F-Kempf-Cocomats-Doormat/dp/B000I1UYXO/ref=sr_1_1?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1359059207&sr=1-1
ReplyDeleteI love the squirrel. I pretty much love anything squirrel or owl because we have both in our backyard and they are so much fun to watch. ~Krista
Um yeah...I HAVE THAT DOORMAT!!! No lie!! I got it to replace the one I accidentally got paint on that said "leave."
DeleteI NEED THAT SQUIRREL! I'm planning on getting this wallpaper for my office and it would match perfectly: http://pinterest.com/pin/46021227412341894/. And I have those willow spheres. The cats think they're toys. :P
ReplyDeleteWhen my oldest moved out into her own apartment, I got her a welcome mat that looked very similar, only it said: Hi. I'm Matt. lol It was a big hit with her college friends.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love it all! Although my hear holds a special little place for that peacock serving platter. I must have or I may die! Dramatic much? Over that serving platter, yes!
ReplyDeleteHi! I found your blog through eat yourself skinny and now I'm a new follower! I'm on a weight loss journey myself and I look forward to reading more about yours!
ReplyDeleteHi! I love the peacock coloured bowl but my favourite is the mixing bowls. I would have them in a minute if I had the room. Love the look of them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh that squirrel speaker is so cute. I am sending the link to my daughter. I bet I'm ordering her one by midnight.
ReplyDeleteGlad I popped by Kelly's. Always nice to see new sponsors on her page.
oh my goodness that squirrel is awesome. i saw that on there website and thought it would be such a fun addition to a home. plus, jamming to a squirrel speaker while cooking with those bowls--perfect evening!
