"You can take me down, you can show me your home... not the place where you live but the place where you belong" --Toad the Wet Sprocket
Oh my it has been way too long since I blogged. I am not keeping my end of the bargain.
I have been planning and preparing for the official coming out party for my cute little house and that has meant lots of finishing touches have taken center stage. Curtains! Artwork! Rugs! Organization! I have kind of felt a little bit like HGTV around here lately.
I got really really irrationally mad at a shelf the other day. A shelf, you say? Yea, a shelf. On the outside, it looks all cute and cool and like it should be a piece of cake to hang on the freaking wall. However, I am convinced it has the soul of the devil and has managed to foil nails, screws, counter-sink devices, wall tabs... you name it, it won't help make it hang straight and not lean askew at a 25 degree angle off the wall. Finally, after it pissed me off enough I yanked the screws out along with pieces of my (beautifully painted) wall. I have now spackled, will touch up paint and if worse comes to worse buy another picture or something to hang on the poor abused drywall.
Other than that, the house is cute and mostly ready for its cotillion this weekend. The rugs look lovely, curtains are hanging cheerfully, and I just have to clean my butt off before people come over because I have been slacking off the last week or three. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get my cats to stop tracking cat litter all over the house? Little tiny houseshoes?
I will try and figure out how to post pictures of the extreme cuteness that is my house, but don't hold your breath. You know me.

this is why you're my best friend. the neverending praise and adulatation.
oh, wait. that's not why. ;)
the funny/sad part was that I had a mental image of of my house as a pre-teen girl in a frilly party dress and it made me giggle.
