Do You Have It In Pink


It's funny how the re-purposing/redecorating of the upstairs space is kind of taking over my life.  Here I was in a meeting yesterday and all I could think about was finding the right pink lamp for the top of the book case and deciding on what style of area rug near the bed.  It’s a good thing there was paper work from the meeting or I wouldn’t know what the heck was going on.

For years the upstairs has been my little craft space.  It has potential to be an amazing master bedroom but we just don’t have the funds to make that happen.  So, in the meantime, this space has turned into a scrapbook room/holding-room-for-my-husband’s-difficulty-in-not-wanting-to-let-things-go.  When I hear the words “You’re not going to get rid of that, are you?” come from his mouth I know that the item will end up in our space upstairs.

Right now we have a very weird looking carpet up there, a strange 1970’s looking red and black shaggy thing.  Red and black???  I’m sure my daughter will want something pink.  We need something that can take the twirls of a possible ballerina and the spills of a Fun Dip pack.  I’m sure we’ll end up with a Berber carpet, they make them much softer than I remember and they hold up nicely.

I thought I went a bit overboard with a lamp I chose, it has strings of beads in various shades of pink hanging all over the lamp shade accented with pink faux fur along the rims.  It looks a tad gaudy.  (A tad?!? )  I bought it almost as a joke saying, ‘You want pink?  You get pink!’.  But she loves it!  Go figure.

I have to say I’m having so much fun helping my daughter design this bedroom.  I see an area rug stitched (in pink) with the word “Princess” in the very near future.

Miss Poodle Perm, That's Me!

Jill of Scary Mommy is doing a linky post about school pictures. You know the ones, possibly you didn't smile a sweet smile, just the smirk of panic. Or you didn't know it was picture day because you had been out sick for a week and you show up in your most comfortable shirt and bed-head. (Yep. That happened to me. The smile was good though!) Well, my scanner isn't working or else I would post a particular picture from Freshman year. Since I don't have a visual, here's the story: I remember my first day of High School. Actually what I remember is the picture taken of me leaving for my first day of High School. I'm wearing a brave smile, but the hair, the hair , my hair style was a nightmare. My two best friends and I were going to be attending a High School out of our district. That was stressful enough. To add to this new-ness we wanted new looks as well. K. was going to sport the Argyle and Alligator shirt look. W. was going for 'All Monogram

My Questions Answered By Chef Pati Jinich - Video

Rob and I have been focusing on finding foods and spices that will help us take some weight off.  I've been slightly obsessed with staying on my exercise track (on week 8 now :->) and hope to get rid of this jiggly belly that has become wa-a-a-ay too comfortable on my body.  The older you get the harder it is to lose weight.  What I would say to my 40 year old self - 'See that pouch starting?  Do your crunches and planks now!  7 years from now it's going to get ugly !' I've found that spices cumin, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes and turmeric are noted to increase metabolism.  ( Yes please !)  After a good workout coconut water is more beneficial in regulating your electrolytes, and lower in calories, than sports drinks.  It also contains more potassium than other drinks which is an important component in helping to build muscle which, in turn, helps you burn more calories. And my most surprising discovery - eating avocados help burn belly fat! I&#
