ZEBRA!!!


  okay so maybe it's not a real one, but this has to be the most fantastic addition to my living room since Jeff and I got married. I saw this bench in an add at Stein Mart months ago, but it was MUCH too expensive for this girls taste. So my mom and I were out doing a little window shopping when low and behold, it was still at Stein Mart, and it was 50% off....so as I  was pondering the affects that might have on my budget, the sales lady approached me and said that if I came back on Saturday, it would be 60% off...what a flippin steal?!!!! So I called up my hubby who WILLINGLY said OK....so bright and early Saturday morning, this little ditty became MINE!!! I am so proud!  This was just one of those deals I couldn't bear to pass up!!! Thanks babe for always allowing me to have the thing I want. He is the best hubby in the world!

So onto other news...I have just been having a little bit of a rough patch. Life is just being life and I have been feeling a little Debbie Downer about everything. Well last week, I got home after an amazingly terrible day, and this little guy was the sweetest doggie you could ever find! He was excited to see me and he licked my cheek and sat lovingly by my side and didn't make a peep until I asked him to....he is truly Wo-man's best friend!!! I love my Chowder!!! 

 

LIfe is just hard sometimes, I have decided, and I just need to adjust to things not always going my way! I think I just need a break, and next week I will get one!! Here I come Thanksgiving!!!

Jeff scored some points for letting you get that.
I love that room- seriously so fun!

I'm sorry things have been rough lately for you. I don't know why but things seem to get so stressful & busy right before Holidays- But i guess that's what make Holidays so special:)

That bench is to die for! I wish I was as bold as you are with your decorating, I could never pull something like that off!

I LOVE that bench! Awesome deal!

I hope things start looking up for you soon, I know life gets tough a lot, but we all just have to keep thinking positive :)

So cute! I just love your style! I have no style so one day when I have money (in about 8 years or so) you'll have to come decorate my house for me! Ok, so mark that on your calendar!

I'm not sure why life has been rough, but I'm sorry and hope things start looking a bit better soon. :)
