DIY Mason Jar Oil Burner

I had an impromptu day off of work on Friday so that was pretty unexpected. Hell yeah! My new garage freezer was delivered which I am totally excited about! Oh I did not tell you about my new freezer purchase yet? My bad! I finally bit the bullet and went and purchased one a couple of weekends ago. I've been eyeing one for a while now but kept waiting for it to go on-sale. It has- a few times- but I was waiting to see if it would go lower on-sale. It hasn't. It was originally $649 and shockingly after shopping around to all of the big box home stores- the cheapest was at Best Buy. I bought it during the 4th of July savings event so it was on-sale for $552. They were also running a special that if you used your Best Buy card- you'd save an additional 5% off plus have free financing for 18 months. Showing a little boob got me free shipping and free haul away (a combined cost of $90) so for the grand total I paid $527. ...

Feeling The Blues

I wanted to call this post “It’s About Frickin Time You Got Started On This” since I’ve been telling you all about my plans about it for what seems like an eternity. Or maybe I’ve been telling it to myself? Sometimes I can’t remember if the stories are just ones I have with myself in my head or if I’ve actually had conversations with others. Not that I’m nuts or anything. I swear. Well earlier this week I finally started it. Let’s be honest- it was mostly because the shit was just lying around my house causing me to go bat shit crazy a huge mess on my dining table. I previously talked about how I had family in town at the end of July. One of the things that they asked before they left home was did I need them to bring me anything from there. I immediately thought of those two poor lonely curtain panels that I left there at Christmas time. My mom hadn’t planned on using them and I was looking for a pair for my upstairs living room since I had just decided on...

The Devil Went Down To Georgia

HAHAHA. Totally an inside joke. But I bet I just gave a few people mild heart attacks thinking I was going to write a blog about someone when I swore I wouldn't! HAH. Give me a few more beers and maybe I will. Since I'm evil and all. You should feel bad for me and my evil self. Anyway- I've been ridiculously busy with work lately. We've had events like every weekend and it doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. We have a marching band competition (woo. hoo.) ALL DAY tomorrow, ALL DAY Friday and ALL DAY Saturday. Then another Colts game on Sunday. So odds are I'm going to be Little Miss Sunshine Crankypants by the time Sunday rolls around. But maybe that'll change when I get to watch Sunday night football! Go Pats! So it's been terribly windy here lately and we were having tornado warnings left and right. Everyone here was informed to go to Lucas Oil Stadium for safety because there would be...

Snowed In... Therefore I Will Show You My Laundry Room

I mean, that makes sense, right? No? Just me? Bueller? Anyhoo! Back to the laundry room. Remember way back to December 2012 when I ripped out the wire shelf in the laundry room and replaced it with gorgeous dark walnut stained wood shelves with gorgeous brackets? No? Well you can read all about it by clicking here . And now that you've refreshed, remember when I said that I was going to find some cute baskets to decorate those shelves and take down the wood key chain holder that now clashed with the luscious dark walnut stain? Yeah. Oopsie. Over a year later I finally got on that shit. Technically, I've had the baskets and bins for a while now, I've just been pretty lazy on posting about them. The wicker baskets I found at a store here called Gordman's. They were pretty cheap to begin with- I think about $4 for the smalls and $7 for the larges plus I had a coupon for a percentage off. Can't remember at thi...

There Must Be Something About This Color

I've done it again. I think I need more friends because it seems when I have down time, I paint things. If you haven't noticed, I paint a lot- therefore I apparently have no friends. So painting is what I did yesterday. At least this was something that was kind of necessary. Since I went and screwed the piece up by doing another project way back when. Let's start with this. You remember my cute little pedestal table in my kitchen, right? Don't mind the old photos. There are no pumpkins currently on the table. I'm not that crazy. OK- while I was staining my new laundry room shelves however many months ago, I somehow got splatters of stain all over the top of this table. Which, as you can see, is no where near the laundry room or the shelves that actually got the stain. Apparently I'm super talented like that. After I finally realized that the stain got on the table top, well after it was dried of course, I knew I nee...

Landscaping Part 786.....

Happy Belated Mother’s Day to all my mommy readers out there! Hope you were spoiled rotten on your special day. We had gorgeous weather here in Indy and I was hoping to get a LOT of landscaping done this weekend. On Thursday I headed to Menards to pick up some Miss Kim Lilac bushes that were on sale for $14.88 each. I was also on the hunt for some Knockout Rose bushes. Meijer (supermarket) had them on sale for $12.50 each but I wanted to check Menards first while I was there. I grabbed 3 of the Miss Kim lilac bushes (the only ones remaining) and saw that the rose bushes were $19.99 so I passed on the ones there. As I headed over to the supermarket I looked up Lowe’s on my phone and saw that they were on special there for $9.50- which was $3 cheaper than Meijer. Score! So after grocery shopping I picked up 4 rose bushes from Lowe’s as well as another hanging plant on special for $5. Here’s the back of my car after that shoppi...

Check Out My New Sun Room

Guys....... you have no idea how happy this post makes me! This is a huge one boys and girls. Are you ready???? So way back 8 years ago when I built my house, I added on a screened porch. And I hated it the minute I saw it. Like if I could have ripped it down with my bare hands, I would have. It was made with quite possibly the worst materials these idiot builders could have found. So I did what any sane person would do.... I closed the curtains on my slider and ignored it for two years. I finally decided to put some furniture out there and "try" to make it work. Well, it didn't. So I did what any sane person would do..... I closed the curtains again and ignored it for another two years. Then a few years ago I was determined to make it work. I thought I didn't like it because it was blah and boring and tan and brown. And it had ugly paneling on the walls. And a shitty screen door that was falling apart. ...
