enter....politics

Here is a fascinating way of looking at the political spectrum.  I don't know if I agree with this or not, but it is fun to think about and look about. 
Here are two links that talk about this chart:  http://pajamasmedia.com/zombie/2010/10/11/the-electric-tea-party-acid-test/  and

ugly, stupid, and boring thursday already!

Ok, so I am going to show you a picture of our yard!!  Hehe.  This year was especially hard on grass for some reason.  I have heard different theories/reasons.  The first theory/reason is that we had too much rain and the roots didn't go deep enough and then the lack of rain killed the shallow root systems.  They other theory/reason is disease.  Whatever the reason, our grass is ugly!!  We will not be a stop on the garden tour this year.

I also want to share some awesome garage sale finds!!!!

danish modern bed!!  $20...made in denmark.

ugly, stupid, and boring

Oops. I missed my scheduled ugly, stupid, and boring update due to this:

that is right.  I am down and out due to a cold.  Pathetic and Weak.  I am finally on the mend and will post a good one soon!

cuties!!

I took pictures of my friend Lynn's grandkids today.  They were such troopers!  No nap, lots of bright sun, and three people telling them where to stand, look, or smile was a recipe for disaster...not so.  They were happy and easy to work with!  Thanks for sharing your cuties, Lynn!!

I can't get enough of those curls!!

here you go, Dan!

Serious cowboy!

One artistic pic

ugly, stupid, and boring

So, I was reading some other blogs this week.  It is so fun to read and be inspired by all of these amazing women.  There are perfect seamstresses, cooks, crafters, artists, parents, decorators, writers, photographers etc....  Perfection status in any of these skills would be welcomed happily by yours truly.  I will keep trying, but for now I am going to take a day of the week and share something imperfect about my life.  I will call it "ugly, stupid, and boring thursday". (no offense, thursday)
I have a friend who says that I make her feel normal...I guess that is my goal.
Here is my first official ugly, stupid, and boring thursday picture!!!!

This is my organization process...it is exhausting. 

  

paul's project

Thank you Aunt Becca for this fabulous fixture!! I forgot to take a before picture, so I will describe it.  It was black (kinda rusty in areas) and hung on a chain.  I want it over my dining room table, so my hubby is modifying it by bending pipe, rewiring, and painting!  It is great...so far.  I can't wait to eat under its yellow glow!

In progress...

in room!!

Enough pics?
