Think About Such Things

Whatever is true

...Think about such things.

Family Room Continued

My family room dreams continued...Are you ready?  Cream shag carpet.  Yes really.  I said that.  Which is so absurd.

 

Yet so inviting and yummy.  See this all started when my cousin and I traded sofas this weekend.  Because we're edgy and wild and out of control.

 

 

The poor girl in me ran on down to Tower Carpets for some carpet remnant research.  If you can't beat em.  Join em.  Or, have something cut fit to size and color so you can afford it.



 

Options.  The dilemma of my life is that the sale rug is actually a higher quality carpet remnant.  Like swanky girl higher {which you know I don't generally turn  down swanky girl} However it is not as cream as I had hoped.  Which I realize a cream carpet is not wise according to my lifestyle.  Aka: child, dog, affinity to red wine, etc.

 

 



 

The lightest really does look the best but even the carpet man suggested strongly against it.  So I'm thinking the compromise will be the middle option.

 

Turmoil

I have to apologize yall!!  I read over my past few blog posts and I just have sounded like a crotchety old banchee these past few weeks!! HOW EMBARASSING.

Let me explain.  I have been distracted and experiencing a painful gut wrenching inner turmoil.

Are you ready?

Ok here it goes.

I've been wrestling with the decision:

Whether or not to change my family room to completely monochromatic neutral tones!!

GO AHEAD. CALL ME BORING.  BUT I THINK I'M DOING IT ANYWAY.

TRES CHIC!
No?

Over-Doing It.

I know you've been wondering what my child was up to this weekend.

 

I'll just show you.

 

Alright I'm done.  Don't want to overdo it.

A

Champs.

And I'd just like to add, bedazzling.  I'm from the south.  Come and see.  You will  leave bedazzled to some degree.

 

Hopefully in the form of humongous clip on earrings that 85 year old women wear.  And 20 something year old women too.

Gardens

Mary Mary Quite Contrary How Does your Garden Grow?  Lo and Behold! My first big girl garden {that is actually quite small!} 

 

YALLLLLLLL!! I have grapes and blueberries and tomaters and zucchini and squarsh and cucumbers-and all I have to say is...this ish better grow despite the fact that I kill everything green.  Errrything.

 

My first blueberry! {Do you see it?}

Summer Reading

So then, what's on YOUR reading list this summer?  If you say something stupid like you don't read, you should say it not to me.  Because we {Americans} have the privilege of being taught how to read for free, essentially {thank you public school system} and  it's not exactly to anyone's detriment.  I mean really.

 

 

Which is why I only read classic literature that challenges the mind and feeds the soul.  This is next on my list.  Because I think I may be a victim of this pandemic.  I'll let you know. 

 

But obviously I have to finish this one first.  Ok who am I kidding I stayed up past midnight on a weekend away to Emerald Isle to finish this riveting piece of work in two days.  Seriously.  I couldn't put it down.  I think it was written in the 80's because the characters called eachother's landlines at night, and wondered where the other was when no one "picked up."

 



 

Or you may just need to relax with a high fashion glossy.  This is my Uncle Ray.  He didn't know he was reading Glamour for the first 15 or so minutes {aka until the last couple pages}.

 

 

So really. Tell me.  What are you reading this summer? I HAVE TO KNOW.
