Dear Spring, Come on already!

Here’s a direct injection of spring into your brain

(thanks to a recent trip to the ever-inspiring,

but sometimes over the top [even for me] – Pier 1 Imports)

I absolutely love these purple pom-pom flowers (don’t hold me to that ‘technical’ name)

these razzle-dazzle pillows and cushions. IMG_3967

I accidentally deleted the photo of him pretending to be an evil, maniacal super villain while turning around slowly in the chair, tapping his fingers in a teepee shape…

sad day….but you can get the mental imagery, right?

Decisions, Decisions…

My husband has been out of town all week.

This is the first time since our wedding day that we have been apart this long….

It’s crazy how fast you become dependent on someone.

I was nearly late to work every day this past week, simply because my hubby wasn’t there to:

set the alarm before bed

put the coffee on (I don’t even know the scoop-to-water ratio)

make sure I only hit the snooze button twice in the morning

bring me my breakfast bagel with cream cheese and a side of gummy vitamins with just a bit of juice

place my lunch in a nice little stack in the fridge (sandwich, cheese stick, yogurt, crackers) – ready to be put into my lunch box

place my coffee mug next to the coffee pot, ready for steaming hot DD coffee and creamer

then reminds me what time it is before gently shoving me out the door.

 

actually, as I’m typing this, I’m realizing how completely spoiled I am.

Here’s a shout out to my completely wonderful husband.

I’m pretty sure there is no-one else quite like him.

(in my defense, I DO have to be at work an hour before he does….

..but mostly, he’s just wonderful)

How do I get so side-tracked?

My point was, he is out of town for the first time, and I’m not sure what has happened to me, but I have been on a DIY-Remodel frenzy!

I don’t want him to think this will be a habit (he leaves, I pull out the tools).

I found this adorable roll-top desk at a consignment shop for $10!!!!

I want your opinion. What should I do with it?

I was thinking two-toned (white sides with a stained dark roll top)?

What do you think?
