thriller killer

oh drat.
Just when I had picked out all the new stuff I was going to buy with our tax return, Michael Jackson cancelled his auction!

have a seat

doing some real house packing (ugg...WAY too many books!) and some imaginary house shopping and wishing i could be lazily resting my ass on one of these, instead of the dusty $65 hershey chocolate bar couch we currently are going to have to be lugging across town.
(should've seen the first time we got it home though. ever watched a 7-foot couch on the roof of a tiny black kia? we got LOTS of points & stares!)

or customize your own ball chair here -
i did mine with a red wine interior for inevitable spills.

and randomly found after bemoaning a re-ment collection ms. mimi recently ate/destroyed.

BUST!

This year's Antique Street Faire will be held on Sunday, March 29, 2009 From 9am to 5pm. Once a year, La Mesa Boulevard is closed and Antique dealers from far and wide set out their wares. Reminiscent of an old fashioned Midwest flea market, there's live music and entertainment. All of our restaurants, coffee houses and pubs in The Village prepare special fare!

umm...this was a total BUST!
i woke up super early and super excited, got there and realized, i hate antiques and i hate antique enthusiasts.
or anyone who likes to get into enthusiastic conversations with me just because i glanced at their junk pile.
should've slept in. eh.

these walls

Per usual, the new digs have wood paneling so, renting or not, wallpaper is not an option.
But I can still dream!
I’ve trolled through this site for years, decorating pretend houses and deciding on pieces that would make good wall art.
That pattern's too dark to look any good over wood paneling but comes in other colors, like this that might work -
I think I mostly am just attracted to that picture because we’ve owned or have owned most pieces of furniture in the picture at one time or another.
But furniture SUCKS when you're moving, so this is a great idea for making a headboard and if it seems like too much effort to dismantle the current bed for a move, I may just incorporate this somehow in the new place.
And this…this is a great idea for how to make use of that totally underused piece of furniture - your couch!

20 bedrooms

sometimes when I’m bored, I make lists.
current list is trying to figure out how many different bedrooms/houses I’ve lived in since moving out at 17.
If couch surfing/slightly homeless stints count, the count would be higher but the legitimate grand total I think is…
next move will be Number 20.
but this is the very first time EVER to have a SPARE room!!!
maybe that makes this both 20 & 21?!
