Thoughts of babies...

I can't stop thinking about babies. I have the fever, it's going to happen soon.

Anyway, my new music obsession is Donovan Frankenteiter and this song is playing at my desk right now and it makes me think of me and Lee and how we will deal with adding to our family.

"Call Me Papa"

Moon comes up
And the moon goes down
Another sleepless night
Another sleepless town
I got you
I got you

Whenever I think about
What I lost
I change my mind instead
To what I still got
Cause I got you
I said I got you

Well you can call me papa
And I'll call you baby
Don't forget your momma's my baby too
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be there
I'll be there for you

Soon enough you know
I'll be around
But that aint soon enough
Cause it aint right now
I need you
I said I got you

When you close your eyes
And you drift to sleep
From time to time
I hope you're running to me
I'm thinking of you
I hope you see me to

Well you can call me papa
And I'll call you baby
Don't forget your momma's my baby too
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be there
I'll be there for you

Well you can call me papa
And I'll call you baby
Don't forget your momma's my baby too
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be there
I'll be there for you

New Bedding!


Place: West Elm
Colors: Ivory and slate blue/grey
Items: Pin-tuck duvet, blanket, sheet set, throw blanket, and throw pillow. The sweater pillow is adorable, but they were out of fills for it so she ordered me one! I can't wait to fall asleep on it and wake up with some awesome patterns in my face..
The only downsides - if you tug the duvet too hard, you can hear some of the little pin-tuck spots rip a little. and the puppies got on the bed and decided they MUST dig new spots and the blue blanket between the duvet and the sheets snagged really easily.
Otherwise - so happy!

Please imagine the walls the same color as that throw blanket. That's the next step to bedroom makeover this month!

Off to Puerto Rico!

Why you live in Texas - in January

Sunday was absolutely picture perfect. 70 degrees with a breeze and clear skies. Just enough to need long sleeves and to open the windows in your house.
To hide from the constant noise of Call of Duty on the PS3 (and surround sound..) I grabbed a book and went outside with the babies to lay in the hammock.
Lola really enjoyed it!
(Please ignore the dead grass. Thanks to the snow we got last month...)
And Teddy liked the breeze in his beard. He loves being outside so much!Today, on the other hand, it is rainy and cold, in the 50's. I am off to look at new bedding and boots, and to help my friend Bethany get some granite and backsplash with my designer discount.
Happy Friday!

Ouch!

The baby bug has bitten. And i am not sure there is a cure.
And Lee keeps getting ancy and moving up the "pull the goalie" date.
We are around May now, rather than August / September or "Next year."

One day, I am all about it. Other days - I look at my dogs and how much we love them and how much life would change if a rugrat appeared.

Oy.

Extra Moola

At the end of this month, I will have a nice reimbursable from my company for my exam and license registration. I don't really know what to do with the money. Here are some options:
1. Container Store: Our closet is a mess. I want the custom organization kit from there. It's pretty pricey.

2. Plantation Shutters: the dogs bark. All day. At everything. This would solve that problem and still allow for me to let air and light into the house. (Thank you double hung windows!)

3. Really awesome bedding. Should I shop around and look at lots of places for sheets and duvet and throw pillows? Or go for the ones I have chosen from Pottery Barn?
Gorgeous!
We also need to paint. Arg.

4. Something for Lee: I want to get him a small something for being so supportive of my studying and everything I went through for this exam.

I can either go for the shutters alone, or possible combine Bedding, Closet, and Lee's gift (depending on what I find.) I think the bedroom renovation would make me really happy - but the shutters are something we need as well.

Decisions!
