{following up}

the world would be a better place if all babies wore headphones, no?


SO

the burger was amazing. yes.it.was.

and the 2.2 ell-bees came off ANYWAY

it was like the good Lord saying "kalli, i am mindful of you and your need to emotionally eat off a bad day. bless you my child. the burger is my gift". He is always mindful of my needs. yes He is.

i realize after i post rants like that that i probably make it sound a lot worse than it actually is. i promise you that i am still mostly mentally sound {except for that whole "i'm crazy" thing, that's just my every day}.

i am in the redecorating mood. because i need something. because i now hate winter and am ready for it to die {i forewarned you that this would happen so stop being all "remember when you wanted it to snow?"} i have spoken about this in depth with my internet lover natalie {she might just be my home decor sensei f.y.i.}. when the hub and i said our "i do's" however long ago i had no idea about decorating. i realize this in hindsight. nice that hindsight is 20/20. boo for hindsight! that or my tastes have finally branched out beyond the quilted bear where the other 90% of utahns shop to decorate their abodes. the problem is i am not crafty. not much. so i am new to this whole "eclectically decorating your home with your own clever recycling skills and awesome abilities to make over a piece of furniture and frame random things and somehow make it all look awesome". so i went to d.i. today in my first attempt at this. looking for old mirrors. because i have a vision apparently. the mirror thing, not so successful. i did, however, procure a toy box for the ripe old price of $25 {p.s. the hub once got into an argument with a d.i. manager over how they inflate their prices. it's like arguing that not everyone at the special olympics deserves a medal. i.swear.}. so i'll keep you updated. i now have a vision for the toy box. and it will be glorious.

GLORIOUS.

Oh boy, let me tell you about my husband and the DI. He barters there. Yup. At the DI. But your hub is totally right. Their prices are sometimes ridiculous...and for stuff they get for free...and a lot of time is still a piece of crap. If you're lucky though you can find some cool stuff. Good luck on the redecorating thing...I'm in the mood too...but unfortunately have no visions.

Glad you are feeling better. It's those tender mercies like 'free' hamburgers that keep us going, right?

Sarah said...

I told you it was winter!!!!!!!!!!! damn snow! The babes were 5 months last winter and I about went to the looney bin! I'm glad you ate your burger...and that you feel better....and sometimes i think that the world would be better if I had a nice pair of those headphones. :)

I do believe the saying, "One man's junk is another man's treasure." So good luck in reinventing your digs!

Yeah, but...I gotta go with Hub on this; DI does set ridiculous prices on their stuff regardless of it being for charity, prices should reflect fair value. The stuff was donated (a.k.a. free) so everything bought is a bonus for them.

Congrats on loosing 2 lbs and having your burger too!

i'm proud of you. i hate decorating. i'm totally lacking the coordination, cute things on your walls gene.

but the burger gene? i have that. really bad.

should we meet for one? we can split it and add extra lettuce to make it w.w. friendly.

(would that make it w.w. friendly?)

xo

Yay! Good for you. A burger sounds so good right now.

You went back to the old header! Still love it.

McKelle is right. Her husband will barter for anything. How do I know? Because he's my blood and we're freaking cheap as hell.

Erin said...

Way to go on the 2 ell bees! I love the nub in headphones. You know, I'm seeing that he looks like you more every day! Love you!

Emily said...

Kalli, congratulations to your brother and family! I'm super excited for you!
