Happy St. Patty's Day!

Being almost half Irish, I do enjoy myself some St. Patty's day!  It is quite possibly my 3rd favorite holiday :)  Hope you all have your green on and, maybe, catch some luck today.

On another note.  After well over a month, I. Keating decided to stop hording our new furniture and it is now in its new home.  Once again, another lovely D-town business has managed to anger  piss us off enough to probably never order through them again.  It wouldn't have been so bad, but they said it would be here around March 1.  When I called on March 2, they said it wouldn't ship until the 11th and MIGHT be in on the 14th or 15th.  Thankfully it was in on the 15th, otherwise there may have been a beat down.  In the meantime, we had also purchased a new coffee and end table set which was in when we bought it, but decided to take it all together.  Well, we picked up the tables when we were in town one Saturday and thought we would finance everything while we were there.  Come to find out that J's "open" account was closed after the financing company was bought out.  We were not supposed to open any new accounts because we are in the middle of refinancing.  So I may have gotten a little upset and said a few things to the lady at the counter (who I know has NOTHING to do with the fact) and said I am done with I. Keating.  So we tried to re-apply and they denied us right away because we have so much money tied up in the refinance right now.  End of story, mom was nice enough to apply and was accepted and financed for us. 

Anyway, new furniture and tables are lookin' gorgeous in the living room.  Now, I just need to find new curtains or girly, fancy scarf like drapey things.....whatever they are called.  The ones we have, except in the bedroom, are all ones that came with the house.  I'm not real good with decorating!

Hope everyone is enjoying some nicer temps and your green beer today! Don't eat too much corned beef and cabbage!

Decorating slowness

Yes, I have decorating slowness.  I struggle with decorating, so it takes me longer to figure out what I want.  Almost 10 months after the wedding, I finally put up some bigger pictures.  AND, after about 2.5 years, our big empty wall is now filled :)  It took me about a month to pick a paint color for the wall and when I finally did, I really liked it.  Now the wall is done and I can focus on another room, like the spare bathroom.  Which, I have ideas, and I'm excited to start. 

I love the old barn window that says "The family is God's greatest Masterpiece"
A great craft show find.

Hope you are all enjoying the nicer weather and adjusting to the time change!

Splish Splash

So, I came home from work early.  I finally caught what my hubby has had for over a week.  And now he's better.  I was bored of sleeping and watching TV and drinking water.  So I decided to take a bath for the 3rd time since I've lived here.  I am posting about this because we have a beautiful garden tub that never gets used.


Sorry I can't get it rotated.

 I'm not sure how long it would take to fill this tub with the perfect amount of warm water because I get bored at waiting for it to fill.  Then, it is too big for me that I could probably use one of those special bath pillows.  I would read in the tub, but I know I would drop my book.  Then there's the hubby issue.  Even if I wanted to just get away and soak for awhile, he would be knocking on the door asking me what I was doing.  (He does it because he knows it irritates me! -Love you too hubby)  We talked about getting a tub with jets, but then we know we live in a modular home and this tub is probably and odd size and we would never be able to fit a different one in there.  So, for now, I will continue to clean the dust out every 3 weeks and maybe use it one day when we have children. 

The other reason for this post is that I can't decide what I want to put on that big, empty wall.  I have an issue with what is "bathroom appropriate."  SO, if you have any suggestions, I am very open to them.  I thought about putting a vinyl sticker there, but then I wasn't sure about the humidity from the shower causing it to un-stick.  One day I will have this house completely decorated, and then it will be "out of style."

Here's hoping you are all well and don't catch what is roaming around the western part of ND.
