COUCH.

So, I may have my couch. It's in San Bruno, and my dad is coming with me to look at it today at 530, and possibly bring it to my house if all goes as planned. I'm pretty stoked on it from the photos.
It looks similar to this, but this is not it exactly.

But, it's got the chaise that come out on the side, which I LOVE. It's Grey Microfiber. It just keeps getting better. I love that it's grey. I hope all goes as planned, when I see it in person!

Room Service.

I came across this pretty radical Furniture site:

Room Service.

I wish I could afford a few items...



I need to be rich.

Spring Cleaning?

I really want to move! But, that may not happen for some time at the rate I
m going on my Job search. So, I've decided to re-do my living room. I spent this morning and afternoon deep cleaning the kitchen and living room so, it's prepared for my big plans!

I've been wanting a real couch for quite a while now. And lately, I've actually been hunting for something affordable on my unemployment budget. I've mostly been anti-craigslist for a couch. But, I have seen a few that look actually nice. But still I'm spoiled and I'm really not sure how much I trust it. Sunday night, Jeremy and I took a trip to Ikea, and.... I found a couch. The price is good and its cute. It's cheap because it has no color options and does not come with any warranty. Which is fine for me. I'm hoping someday I'll have money to afford a sectional sofa. This just needs to make me happy for the next few years. Anywho, It's a nice brushed brown twill. I wish I could post a photo but I can't. I'm hoping to buy it next week!!!! weeee! I just need to ask my dad for use of his truck...

Next on my list is to keep surfing craigslist for the rest of what I want:
-A 5x7, or 8x10 Area rug, that's not ugly. (So far this is the most difficult, because rugs are bannkk) I really need to protect the nice bamboo flooring we have, though.
-Dining table with 4-6 chairs. (I currently have 2 hopefuls, so we'll see)
-Coffee table, and 1 or 2 side tables (Jeremy has decided he wants to build these possibly, which would be awesome!)
-Ottoman.
-TV Armoire or some sort of proper TV stand, entertainment unit.

All items need to be free or under $50.
I'm not too too worried about paint finish and condition to a certain point. I'll take the best deals is it's something that can be painted or easily repaired.
It's been fun searching so far. Wish me luck!

I think I'm too embarrassed for a before photo. But, I'll have an after, someday....

Show and Tell.

I know, I've been neglecting this blog. But, I have been distracted. Not a huge loss. Anywho, I plan on making my blog much less personal anyway once I switch over and get my spiffy new site and URL. But, real quick here's one super personal entry. Hope it's not too annoying. I just really wanted to share a couple photos I'm really happy about.

Jeremy's return! This photo I took of us on Jeremy's 27th Birthday last week.

This is a great one!!!! Jeremy and his niece, Elora. After we took her to Bounce-o-Rama to play with Lolo and Ryan B! We've gotten to steal her away from Jeremy's sister a few days and take her to play with the Ry Guy!!! I love her smile! it kind of makes my heart melt. And, I love that in this photo, Jeremy and her have the same smile!!!! So related.


Okay, I'll try to steer away from the boring personal stuff now. Just wanted to share my happiness!!!!

Nude picks.

Just a quick note to mention my favorite polishes at the moment. Since discovering the new Sally Hansen Insta-Dri line, particularly the shade beige blast, I've become more obsessed with Nude nail polish. It really ALWAYS looks good, I feel like. It's kind of a fool proof shade. I've cleaned out a lot of my colors now.

So, in case anyone's interested. Here are a few highly recommended Nude colors:

#1) Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in 03 Beige Blast
#2) OPI in Bare in Trafalgar Square
#3) Rimmel Lycra Wear 10 in Milk Chocolate

But wait! Bck to the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri, TRY IT! it's amazing. Even if you don't like nudes, they have a whole line of colors and they seriously dry instantly and it's amazing. I LOVE it.

Stupid Unemployment.

I have been lusting after these shoes for a while now... And of course, today I learned they are on sale!

Fuck you, Piperlime. This means 2 things: A) I still cannot afford them, even on sale. Or could afford them, but have no place to be purchasing $90 shoes while unemployed. And B) This possibly means they won't be available for me to purchase when I DO have a job again, and can feel okay about purchasing them.

Lord, help me.

I'm drooling.

Possibly found my dream house. I love the way this woman decorated her house in Chicago. So many ideas, I'm inspired by for my next place....

My favorites parts are this family room that's just there off the kitchen with that black and white wallpaper! I love the art collage on the wall with the plates and the paintings. Such a cute layout.
And the Master Bedroom!

I love all the COLORS!!! with the Black and white. I'm itching to redecorate so badly right now! Holy shit. But, I won't waste it here. I want to wait until I move, when it will be more worth it. I'm not too stoked on my place at the moment enough to spend time doing rad stuff, just to have to out it back later. Next time, I'm going all out on the decorating.

Check out her Shower. So jealous. Witch. That is my DREAM shower. For so many reasons. I HATE Shower over bathtubs. blah. I HATE shower curtains. And I fear slipping on the stuff baths and showers are usually lined with. This shower solves EVERY one of those issues. amazing, AND it has multiple shower heads. 2 thumbs way up!

Love.

So stoked.
Sarah bought me a ticket to see The Lovemakers on Friday night, because she's AMAZING! And today Stephanie confirmed that she has purchased a ticket as well and will be joining us.
The Lovemakers at The Blank Club a few years ago, is still one of the best shows I've been to. I really love The Blank Club for shows, you get to be so close. And The Lovemakers are SOOOooooo much fun to watch perform, especially when Lisa and Scott make out, or when Scott dances!!!! ACGH!!!!! I am beyond stoked right now, I'm glad it's only a day away. Time to start thinking about a fun outfit.


So happy for me right now.

I need you so much closer.

Listening to Death Cab right now is making me gloomy... but, I really have no reason to be. I wish I
could make things simpler and time pass more quickly.


"And the distance is quite simply much too far for me to row,
it seems farther than ever before
I need you so much closer...
So come on, come on..."

bummed out.

The following scenario is not helping my self confidence for the day ahead tomorrow. ACH!
I just tried to put on my EC Star "Love Me" jeans to possibly wear tomorrow, and my giant ass hips or something else huge, ripped them. I almost started crying right then and there.
I LOVE these jeans. The are all BLACK, pegged, slightly cropped with heart shaped pockets on the bum. I never wear them for fear they'll get ruined... BINGO!
Point is. I need to lose some chunk. And get a job, so I can afford to take my jeans to get fixed.

Poo.
