Please Pray!!

ny times

Please don't forget PFC Bowe R. Bergdahl in your prays!!

Bowe was captured by the Taliban in Afghanistan on June 30th and  has been held hostage for a month now. 

I can't imagine the fear that he must be in right now. I can't image the emotions that his family is going through. I think of them all often and continue to keep them in my thoughts and prayers. 

Check out this article in the NY Times. 

There is also a hostage video that surfaced of him. 

Please keep him in your thoughts.

I just got a set of dishes just like these for 20 bones last night at the coolest thrift store ever.

I am in love. Its official.

Where Do You But Fabric?

So, I am going to reupholster these chairs to match a black round wooden claw-foot table.

But I don't know what fabric to use and where you get it.

Here are my ideas:
-it must be black and white
-I was thinking about that uber popular zigzag pattern
-maybe another print, any suggestions?

Where is the best/cheapest place to get good fabric like that?
Help me, please and thank you!

To Do: Become That Crazy Aunt

I think I am that crazy aunt that always tells kids that she is going to eat their toes or steal their noses.

Building My Dream House:

I want this.

Just a Note

I have been busy this week. I am sorry. 

I wanted to go to bed at 10pm. It is now 10:25 pm and I am blogging and reading everyone's fab posts from this week. 

I am thankful that I am not video blogging right now. And you should be too. 

Good Night World.

Really?

Did anyone know that they are still making those 'NOW' music cds?

I didn't.

They are at NOW 31. I think that if the CD volume is over my age and probably twice the age of anyone who buys it then there is a bit of an issue here.

To Do: BFF Wallets

When the BFF was in town we bought these little numbers from Target on super sale! Only ours are mustard yellow and I love them!!!

We call them our BFF wallets. I know. Cool. 

I think I want this!!

Like real bad!! UO

Building My Dream House:

forgot...?

Black and White and everything nice. I love this picture. I am going to start sharing pictures with you of how I want to decorate my dream house. 

No blueprints, just pretty little pics. 

To Do: Make Flowers

I love these flowers from Martha Stewart Wedding magazine.

I think that I may make some and add them to cardigans and what-not. 

And I had been meaning to post these all week but You Are My Fave beat me to it. Darn you!!

Movie Review:

If you haven't seen The Hangover yet then you are truly missing out!!

I actually laughed through the entire movie! It was really well done and absolutely hysterical. 

MUST SEE!!

On the other hand...

Knowing is the stupidest movie I have seen in a long time. My BFF and I laughed during the most intense scenes. And I keep thinking about all the parts that just didn't make any scenes at all. It was not worth it! 

AVOID. 

To Do: Listen

Here is your dose of funny-as-shit random rap music for the day:

This one is a little R-rated. :)

To Do: Sleep Well

I saw this duvet in Ready Made Magazine but check it out over at Apartment Therapy as well. 

30% goes to help homeless young people in the UK and that just helps you sleep well at night. 

Movie Review:

While my BFF was in town we went and saw My Sister's Keeper. 

The movie was great and if you are looking for an amazing movie that is quite the tear jerker then I would really suggest this. It deals with a lot of great life issues but really makes you feel good in the end. Great movie. 

Plus, my BFF had read the book and thought that they were still very different so you can do both and still be surprised. 

To Do: Try Golf

Maybe I should take up golfing just so that I can wear these shoes!!
