happy birthday to me!

Wanna see what I got??

An iPod touch! Fantastic! It's a really cool little toy... I just need a wireless router now to see what it can really do. Pretty bad-ass though, huh??

newest obsession

You may be asking yourself... Is she overly concerned with hydration? Perhaps, perhaps not.
But either way, they sure are pretty, no?

I want a whole flock...

LOVE this pattern.

Tucking this away in the back of my brain for someday... Sigh.
For now I can live with just this one!

(and maybe some of these, and these too!)

cough, cough, cough, sneeze, sneeze, sneeze

I have no idea what my problem is lately. I don't get sick for literally years, and now I have some kind of crazy cold/cough/sinus horrible thing. And I just had strep-freakin' throat in June. So I apologize for a post that looks about how I feel. Crappy. I had intentions of posting pictures of the rib-smoking that went on here last weekend, but I'm just too lazy to go find my camera. In the meantime... Send wishes of vitamin C and sweet nyquil dreams...

wanting...

To go to Ikea!




Desk chair (cushion is begging for some fun fabric)









Matches my kitchen table and chairs












Love the black and white one ($12.99!)











Fabric for curtains??






Looks like a trip down I-90 may be in my future...

Strangest thing. I was listening to AM 1310 on my way home from work the other night (weird, right?). And I won Brewers tickets. It was trivia, even! I guess now I'm an "official" fan? So anyways, we're going to another game tonight. Hopefully it will turn out better than the last game we went to...

I NEED photoshop.

Seriously need it.

You can see that I was trying to blur the address on this really cool stamp I ordered to celebrate homeownership. Which is a huge pain in the ass to do with any of the editing stuff I have. I'm not even sure why I care, because I'm pretty sure about 2 people read this blog, but you just never know what kind of internet werdos are peeking at it. Anyways, I digress. I NEED photoshop. And a DSLR camera. Seriously.

What really got me thinking about photoshop was thinking about the wedding (pictures). Right. Did I mention I'm engaged? I think I did once back in March, but then moving, new job, home-buying, etc. kind of kept me busy. So now is the time to start planning and such. We're going to look at a place tomorrow to maybe have the reception. It's a different kind of place. A barn of all things. It seems like it might meet our needs though. More updates soon.
