Five things that make me happy today:
1) My new haircut! I had it all chopped off yesterday and barely recognized myself in the mirror this morning at 6:30 (of course the smudged mascara that I forgot to take off last night probably didn't help!!)
2) Dunkin Donuts French Vanilla coffee...mmmmm...
3) My newly painted pink claw foot tub :-)
4) Finding the frame kits I needed on clearance for $2.00 apiece at Michaels...4 frames for $16.00!!
5) Peanut butter and honey sandwiches and chocolate milk (and getting up in time to pack them for lunch and still be at work by 8:30!)
Remember my FB status last week about rompers? I emailed Melanie at Big Mama and she feels the same way! Check out her Fashion Friday post today for some summer cuteness NOT involving bad 80's-90's fashion...

Kitchen Floor Progress
Before:
During:
After!!
This is the last "big" project for the house, at least for now. After this it's just more painting and some bookcase construction, maybe refinishing floors in a couple rooms. We're on the downhill slide, folks :-) I'll post pictures of my super cute bathroom closet doors later too! I can't find a before picture of them, which is slightly annoying, but I have one more folder to look in before I set up the post. It's nice to have gotten to the fun, decorating part now. I like accessorizing and accenting!

Five Things Friday
1) Gilmore Girls....as in the complete set of dvd's. I have missed Lorelai and Rori (and Luke) since I haven't had cable to watch reruns. Now I can watch any episode I want whenever I want :-)
2) Having a dining room to eat in - I love having friends over and actually talking at dinner instead of being in front of the TV because there's nowhere else to sit and eat.
3) Getting things in the mail! Especially boxes of stuff. Not so much with the bills...but at least those are something in the mailbox. It makes me sad when the mailbox is empty.
4) Peanut butter and brown sugar sandwiches. Just try it, you'll see!
5) My little brown teapot stuffed with hot pink roses from my yard. I don't want them to stop blooming, they're so pretty!

Photoshop is My Friend
HA! I can't wait to print this and frame it for my room :-) I love me some photoshop, is that font not perfect for a 50-60's movie star!?

Five Things Friday: Garden Edition
I promise I will replace these pictures with the ones of the actual plants in my yard. That just involves getting home from work in time to catch daylight, which hasn't happened in a few days. That, and my hydrangeas haven't actually bloomed out yet but they're covered up in buds!! I can't wait :-)
1) Peachy yellow roses - this is sort of what mine look like. I was super excited when two of the bushes in my yard bloomed out to be my FAVORITE kind!!
2) Red Geraniums. McDonough is the geranium city, so these are everywhere. I like them anyway and both of my grandmothers always had pots of these on their front porches, so now I do too! Family tradition :-)
3) LOVE Impatiens. I got pink and white, but I think the place where I stuck some may be too sunny, we'll see...I can always move them up under the ginormous bush with big rose-like flowers that I keep forgetting the name of. Seriously...I'm losing it. I think it starts with a C? or a G?
4) I can't wait for my big hydrangea bushes to bloom...they're old and established and should be absolutely covered in blooms. I want to dry some, does anyone know if there's a way to help them hold their color?
5) I love funky flowers, I got a hanging basket of Fuschia like this for the porch. I need to find some more odd things to mix in with my traditional shrubs. Fortunately hanging baskets go on sale right after Mother's Day, I want to get some hot pink Bougainvillea too ;-)
