Pottery Barn Can Suck It.

There are very few things that tick me off more than when I don’t get my Pottery Barn catalog. I drove my happy ass back from Thanksgiving in Dallas and the one and only thing I wanted was to snuggle my dogs and rip pages out of a pottery barn catalog. That’s all I wanted.…

Ode to Omaha

Ok. So this isn’t about our Halloween party. Obvs. So my card reader hates me (probably because I always put it in the junk drawer) and decided to die and that’s why it’s Nov 3rd and there are still no pictures up of Halloween. Husband is buying me a new one today. Regularly scheduled posting…

And then, without fail, on the next page I. MUST. HAVE. THAT. It’s a conundrum…

Laundry is the Devil

If I could pick the absolute worst chore on God’s green earth it would be laundry. That’s why when Husband is home I make his life hell unless he does all of the laundry. Do you have any idea how many “hand wash” shirts I’ve sacrificed just so I don’t have to do the laundry?…
