Hey Friends!
How was your Saturday?
We had a fun day.
We made a trip to good ol’ Nordstrom so that husb could buy me an early birthday present.
A pair of black Uggs.
Don’t hate.
You know you have a soft spot in your heart for a good pair of Uggs ;)
So, we went in to buy them and they were all out.
The entire state of WA is out of black Uggs.
Seriously?
You just know it was some bratty teenage girl that got the last pair ;)
I decided against a full blown tantrum…it’s just not the right thing to do when you are in Nordstrom.
Instead I opted for them to order and mail me a pair.
Then we headed out to IKEA!
I could smell those meatballs a mile away!
Not really…that would actually be really gross and would make a trip to IKEA less appealing.
Anyways, my dear friend Tasha will be glad to hear that my trip was very fruitful and EXPENSIVE!
She always gives me a hard time because when we go together I hardly spend a dime.
Well not today baby!
We splurged and bought five white Ingolf bar stools.
After getting back home husb got to work.
Whata man, whata man, whata mighty good man…mighty mighty good man.
Name that girl group ;)
(and until now I always thought it was money good man…whoops)
Of course he was allowed a tea break ;)
I would show you a picture of the finished project but only one is assembled.
I was having issues.
Not sure if I was satisfied with them.
I mean…they are beautiful and I love them.
But I realized after husb put together the first stool that our bar is not as deep as I had expected.
I kept thinking…is this going to be uncomfortable to eat at?
Should I get bar stools without a back?
OMG…did I just waist $70?
I did the most logical thing.
I emailed a fellow blogger.
Sweet Katie Bower came to my rescue and comforted me with the fact that her bar is shallow as well.
She pretty much stuck it to me.
Telling me I had to decide between leaning over the bar when eating or having my bootie sliding off a smaller stool.
I think I’ve decided to go with the leaning ;)
Thanks Katie B!
Speaking of fellow bloggers. You might recognize these two from my post about Canon Beach.
My friends Tasha and Kristel…
have both jumped into the world of blogging.
You gotta check them out.
Tasha is going to give us all great home decorating advice and Kristel is gonna make us laugh our bums off.
Tasha just had a sweet little baby girl and Kristel is going to have one.
And let me just tell you how brave I am.
THEY WERE BOTH PREGNANT DURING OUR CANNON BEACH TRIP!
Yeah…I went on a mini road trip with two pregnant women…
and survived!
Ha!
So yeah…go on over and give them some blog love.
And finally to end the day husb and I went to see The Book of Eli.
It definitely isn’t a kid friendly movie.
But is was very good…beautiful in its own way.
I don’t want to give anything away…but I’ll just say it reminded me that I need to be much more diligent in reading my Bible.
Man…I’ve been a chatty Kathy tonight.
Thanks for lending me your ear!
I’m off to eat some Molly Moon balsamic strawberry ice cream.
I have a pint in my freezer.
I may or may not share with my sweet husb ;)
