My little room
In our house, the office is my domain. When we first moved in we just put my desk where ever we could for the time being. This past weekend I was able to move my desk around the way I wanted it to with the help of my husband. I also was able to position the wingback chair and ottoman where I wanted as well. Now I have a better understanding of what I need to get to complete the room such as a small bookshelf. I also have a very fun project in mind with reupholstering the chair and ottoman. I have been looking at a lot of different contemporary upholstery fabric and found one I like. It is a white fabric with teal, green, and light yellow pom pom flowering-like things on it. I love how relaxing the fabric looks and know it will make a great addition to my office. I also plan on adding white panels to the windows to make the office a little brighter. Three walls of my office are this oak wood paneling. I am talking about real wood, too. Not the fake laminate stuff that was so popular in the 80′s. This stuff is the real deal and gives my office an outdoorsy appeal which I think adding in some light and airy accessories will really lighten the place up! I am so excited to make this space my own.

Dumb Pool!
I am so annoyed right now because our pool pump has to be replaced now. Since our pool cover split in half, the top layer of water in our pool and the water in the pipes, due to someone not closing the pipes off, froze. Because of this, one of the main pipes in our pool pump shattered. Ugh. My step-dad is going to try to repair the piece since he is the mastermind of repairing things, but if that does not work I guess I can add pentair pool pumps to my research list in order to find a pump that will work for us economically. I swear, when it rains, it pours! What a way to start the new year.

Cover Mishaps
After all the rain we have had recently and now the cold-front that has moved in, the cords holding our pool cover on our pool snapped because of the weight of the ice on top of our cover. I am really irritated because I bought that cover myself and invested in an expensive cover as opposed to one of the cheaper ones. I guess next year I will just invest in an automatic pool cover which will roll itself over the top of the pool instead of us stretching the cover across and then securing it with the cord and cranks. That would be so much easier because we have a deck surrounding all sides of our pool which means we have to crawl under there twice a year to take the cover off and then put the cover back on. I’m a bigger girl and little confined spaces are not my best friend. Hopefully the automatic cover will not be hard to install and will result in me not having to crawl under the deck ever again.

Eyelash Growth
One thing my mom is very jealous of is my full eyelashes. I rarely have to wear mascara and if I do, it is the clear kind. I have long, full lashes that are quite annoying at times but beautiful none the same. My mom has full eyelashes but they are not as long as mine. She has been looking for the best eyelash growth products on the market. She recently bought her some mascara to try that is supposed to make your lashes fuller and longer. Hopefully that will work. I think her lashes look fine but considering I am not a 100% girly-girl, I doubt my opinion matters.

She’s practically grown
You know your little sister is growing up when you go from the cool, older sister to the out-of-style, older sister. Everything I like, she hates. I’m sorry but I have good taste, age be darned. I like her to dress fashionable but cute, but she prefers fashionable and more revealing than what I’d like. I know she is in middle school and that is the time girls change and become their own person but can’t she just wait a few more years? And her attitude! Geez. Oh well, even though she can get on my last nerve, I am looking forward to the next couple of years. I know we won’t be shopping for a prom dress at tjformal.com anytime soon but I do have her 8th grade dance to look forward to in two years. I cannot wait to see her grow up and all the things her future holds for her. She is a bright and beautiful young woman, and the world better watch out because she has a lot to offer!

My little country boy
One thing I was really excited about finding Gray for Christmas was a pair of carhartt coveralls. It is no secret that my little guy is pure country through and through. He loves cars, trucks, four wheelers, and trains so it is no surprise that he loves wearing overalls and boots. In fact, he gets quite angry with me when I do not allow him to wear his boots around the house. I like them but they do not really fit and I much prefer him in jeans, a button up shirt, and his Converse. What can I say, I like to see my little guy rocking out in cute clothes instead of his country wear all the time like his daddy. I also fight with his daddy about his apparel at times. I have no clue why guys seem to like the most hideous clothes at time. I guess that is just a mystery I will never solve.
