It's a cold, and soon to be wet, Spring Break here in Kansas -- which, sadly, is pretty normal. We are even supposed to have snow for the first day of Spring, so it looks like there will be no tanning-in-warmth-of-the-sun for the child that wishes to remain anonymous. We did take a quick minivacation to Kansas City for a few days and took in some fun shopping and consumed a staggering amount calories including lots of pasta, bread and cupcakes. Looks like the kiddo and I will be spending ... VIEW POST

Some Like It Hot (or Not) … and the Red Vintage Dresser
Since the unnamed child is finished with her cheer season, I gave her the option of going out for track (which she quickly declined) or going to the gym with me everyday after school. I thought it would be a good way to motivate me and to force me to make time during the day for some exercise. Here is how today went: Me: Ready to go to the gym? The kid: I'm not going. Me: You have to go The kid: I just straightened my hair today, and if I sweat I will have to redo it ... and I hate ... VIEW POST
Happily Ever After? Probably Not.
The child that wishes to remain anonymous and I just finished watching The Bachelor. I must say, it was anticlimactic. We thought out of all the girls, he chose the two most immature out of the entire bunch. So when it came down to choosing the final one, we didn't really care. I thought Lindsey just wanted to get married, and it didn't really matter to whom (did you see the big honking tattoo on her foot when she stepped out of the limo? How did I miss that?). Catherine is just in this ... VIEW POST
Something Old, Something New
I hope you all had a good weekend! I spent the majority of mine painting ... surprise, surprise. Two of the pieces I have been working on have required eight million coats of paint for some reason, but they are both almost finished thank goodness! I also did some major cleaning around the house. The thing about having people pick up furniture pieces at your home, is that is forces you to keep a tidy house. Or at least clean the rooms the person can see from the front door. That was the ...

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a good weekend! I had lots of furniture pieces picked up by clients, so I feel a little less like a hoarder -- which is a relief! I also worked on several projects, including the one I was going to show you today ... but it hit a little snafu. Ugh, I hate it when that happens. When I put the topcoat on the thing I painted, the dang paint started to bubble up. At that point it was already 8:30, and it was too late to start over. I'm working on fixing that ... VIEW POST

The snow is actually starting to melt here, and for the first time in a while there's no more accumulation predicted in the forecast. That's a great thing since the pups and I are much happier when we have warm weather and sunlight. Speaking of pups, my normal readers know I am at the vet's office more often than Lindsay Lohan is in court -- which is saying a lot. Yesterday was no exception. Gracie was in a scuffle with the neighbor's dog and needed some anti-inflammatories, Charlie needed ... VIEW POST

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a great weekend! We started thawing-out on Sunday ... just in time for another round of snow. If the weathermen are to be trusted, we are expected to get another 9-15 inches between Monday and Tuesday. My daughter is trying to use the power of positive thinking in order to get yet another snow day. The unnamed child and I were doing our own version of Fashion Police while watching the Oscars last night. (By the way we both think Naomi Watts wins hands ... VIEW POST
