What's Up, Hook(ers)!!!!

There will be no mention of gardens, flowers, or bushes in this post.   Say whaaaaaaaat?   It's really going to take a LOT for me to hold back because I've got some new ones and planted a few since the last post.  BUT- I pinky swear.  I will not mention them again.  If I do, you can bend me over your knee and slap my butt.  Wait- that's a totally different post.  So I've been lacking in the home projects for quite some time as you might have been able to tell.  I'm seriously itching to find something to paint or demo or sand or stain.  I've literally found at least 4 pieces on that list by Craig and they've fallen through.  Whomp whomp.  Very disappointing but it is what it is.  When the right piece comes to me I will be able to love it all the more.  But for the time being it's seriously pissing me the fuck off. While I've been lacking in finding the right pieces for the house, I've also spent a lot of time out of the house since it's be

Craigslist Faux Pas and Shopping Steals

Sup bitches?  I'm finally sitting down after a weekend of lots of cleaning and outdoor prettifying and picking up some STEALS from a couple of stores.  Gotta love steals. But first can I talk about some Craigslist etiquette?  Or any sort of "I'm selling this" etiquette. First off, if you post a piece of furniture online to sell, please put the dimensions.  It is just being lazy when you don't and it's super frustrating for the buyer having to contact you multiple times to ask about a piece that may or may not even fit what they are looking for.  Also, maybe clear off all the junk that you have lying on top of said piece of furniture because maybe, I don't know, the interested purchaser would like actually SEE the piece.  Learn what your piece actually is and don't guess.  A short, long dresser is not a chest of drawers.  Nor is veneer "real solid" wood.   Using "antique" or "vintage" only works when the piece is ac

Happy 100th Post!!

Actually this is my 101st post.  But how awesome is it that I've written 100 posts?!?! Are you guys sick of me yet?  I mean, I see my stats and I can tell that you all are still reading.  So I know there are some of you out there.  Somewhere.  Far far away.  Maybe it's just for the swears?  I hope that you are still finding me hilarious at my being candid with you all.  I mean who else posts stories with dirty bras and boxes of tampons in the background?  Or shows how disgusting I can be when I don't want to do dishes and let 2 weeks worth pile up on the counters because my dishwasher is full?  Or thinks that others really care about what my new welcome mat looks like? I honestly never thought that I would be able to do this- telling you all about my life through this medium.  I figured I'd get bored as you all know my attention span is smaller than a gnat.  People have always said that I need to write a book about my life because even with this 100 posts under
