Super old timey bar in the middle of nowhere

Billy singing a slow rendition of Tupac's "California"


:)

of course I did.

Yeah. Guess what color?

Today was errand day! I managed to work in the morning, go to a dentist appointment, come home, work for an hour, then walk down the street with my cat in a carrier to her vet appointment, then come home, work some more.

Then I napped. HARD. While watching Storage Wars, which BTW is my favorite guilty pleasure show. Oh.. aside from Teen Mom and Jersey Shore of course. I'm classy like that.

And then it was Thursday! This week is flying by! Only 8 days till California!

Random Awesomeness: Every Saturday until October, there is a farmers market across the STREET FROM MY HOUSE.. ehfdufejhgfuwerjf!!!!
Last week we walked over and I got local berries, peas, organic sourdough bread, homemade cookies, ate tacos and had agave sweetened lemonade. Hippie deliciousness!
Every week the vendors will rotate so I'm excited to check it out again!

Holy CRAP!!!!

IM IN APARTMENT THERAPY!!!!!!!!!!

I'M KIND OF freaking out. I never thought my apartment would get featured. WTF!
So cool!!!!!!

new front door.

This morning, on my third to last day of "stay-cation" I woke up, walked into the hallway, rubbed my eyes and decided to paint the font door. No second guessing when I plow into a project. This girl just goes.

Wanna know what remains on my kind of lame "stay-cation" bucket list?

-Get a Library Card, and load up on books.
-Buy Husband some non-ugly shorts - DONE
-Buy a new sports bra for running - DONE
-Go to Richmond Centre because you have been there in years - DONE
-Go have lunch with husband on his break
-Go lay in the park across the street with some library books and get a tan (weather permitting!)

that's it! Our real vacation starts later in August when we fly down to LA, rent a car and visit some friends, and drive up the coast to visit Billy's dad and hit up some sweet food joints a la Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives

Before & After!

WHO doesn't appreciate a good BEFORE & AFTER project!? I certainly do.

BEFORE:

AFTER!
New bedroom bookcase/shoe/who knows what storage!

And yes...I'm aware that I paint EVERYTHING various shades of turquoise. Maybe Turquoise should stop looking so damn good, so I can move on to another color.

I need more books to stack in it. It matches our bedspread, which was absolutely intentional.
