Packing is the pits

Good thing we don’t have a lot of it! Most of our stuff is still in storage…but I’ve moved enough times now to DREAD packing….so for the next few days that’s what I’ll be doing! Hopefully we will get our internet set up pretty quickly at our apt. so I won’t go through withdrawals 😛

Home stretch!

This weekend was a blur. It rained and pored all weekend long. We decided to go to Dallas on Saturday and look for a media stand and an end table…no luck. We literally had to row ourselves home! We went to lots of fun stores like Sur La Table. Love that store!!! I found some more of my Zak Designs stuff I like, I got one of these and it’s awesome! We also went to West Elm where I fell in love with these fuzzy wuzzies! These pillows are like snugging up with a 50 pound rabbit, and they shed like one too…unfortunately Terence didn’t share the love for the fuzzy pillows 🙁

They ARE awesome. Trust this.

I also FINALLY got a GPS for my car…so excited! It’s ABOUT time! I have no sense of direction at all and I was about to have an anxiety attack about moving to another new city without one!

So all in all we had a lovely weekend! Next Saturday is T’s big graduation day so I am sure there will be lots of pics! Yippeee!!!!
I will just leave you with one last picture of my silly Dad…he’s doing my signature Starbucks pose with his caramel frapuccino…ha…ha…he cracks me up!

I love you Daddy! 🙂 Thanks for always making me laugh!

New top from Anthropologie

(Ewe…double chin…I need to quit the Coldstone!)
I love this shirt I got last night…it has little felt flowers on it! I love the whole Anthropologie store, especially their home goods. I only buy things when they are on sale there because it’s waaay to expensive to buy full price! Everything is oh so cute!

More running around

It seems like every day I have come home from work and Terence is ready to go…go..go!!! I just want to relax…relax…relax!!! He better enjoy it because in a few weeks he starts his new job and college life is OVER baby! yeah! So tonight we just drove around and spent some time together. We ended up at a pizza place called Bostons for dinner and it was pretty good. Look at me not the TV honey…..
Now Terence is in the bedroom watching The Tale of Despereaux, we had to run by Blockbuster because he wanted to see the movie because the mouse looked “cute”
That’s my husband 🙂
I got these adorable scissors today at a gift shop. They are so much more fun than regular scissors right? I guess this relates back to a previous post talking about my addiction to office supplies…I love post-it notes and pens! I am so glad tomorrow is Friday, we are celebrating Cinco De Mayo a little early and are wearing jeans and having some mexican…”areeba areeba, undalay undalay”
Until tomorrow….night all!

Ottoman Dilemma

I’m so mad because we ordered that furniture set and now they cannot get the ottoman to match! The store said they were out and can’t find another one. (NEVERMIND…THEY DID FIND AN OTTOMAN AND IT’S ON ORDER!!!)

We still want an ottoman, so we were thinking of a large rectangle fabric ottoman to go with the sofa and chair to use as a coffee table/ottoman. So, my question to all of you is where do you find one of these and what do you think would look good with that dark leather? I’ve been looking online and in stores and have yet to find anything! WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FURNITURE STORE? ONLINE OR IN STORES….SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!!!!!!

On another note – I am keeping these in my car/bag/desk to remain sanitary and not get the dreaded swine flu! They closed down almost all Fort Worth schools today due to some cases of the swine flu!
Also-if you Gmail chat then I’d love to add ya! Just leave your gmail email in the comments….

New Furniture

Yesterday Terence and I went out to dinner last night at the Cheesecake Factory and after that we went and got NEW FURNITURE!!!! Yeah! There was a floor sample clearance sale and today they are having and EXTRA 30% off of that price and they had exactly one set left in the warehouse so we hopped on it and we got a new sofa, chair, and ottoman. I love it and of course I will take pictures when we move in and get everything set up. We have been so busy lately getting everything ready to move…so as hard as I try I am trying to keep up with reading about all of you lovely blog friends…right now it’s just craziness trying to get ready for this move.
LOVE YOU ALL…Happy HUMP day!
