miscellany monday

(1) I went through my shoes on Saturday. I was quite shocked when I laid out every shoe on the floor to see what all was in my closet. Half the shoes I never wear anymore, I'm secretly a pack rat. However, I bit the bullet and tossed about 1/3 of my shoes into a garage sale/giveaway pile. I now have a nice and organized shoe area in my closet. Man, it feels good to be organized! Now I just have to tackle my clothes, esp those that are hiding in the farthest area of the closet.

(2) We went to Barnes and Noble after dinner one night this weekend and had a lot of fun browsing through books. It was hard to pick just two books but I can't wait to get started on the ones I ended up with.

(3) It's been so hot this weekend that it wasn't remotely enjoyable to be outside, and today isn't any better. This summer is for sure to be a hot one and I'm not looking forward to it.

(4) My birthday is next weekend, June 20th, and I still have no big plans and that's perfectly fine with me since we're having a big 4th of July shindig at the beach that's gonna last a week that I'm stoked about!

(5) I'm thinking about a career change, or should I say job change since my current job isn't a career thing exactly... ohh decisions. I guess I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up haha.

Join in the randomness over at Carissa's blog and be sure to congratulate her on her adorable new baby girl!

Wishful Wednesday... Bedrooms

'I wish' .... I Could Come Home to This Bedroom Every Night!
This was such a fun topic, even though it took a lot of searching to find a picture close to what I wanted. My dream bedroom is spacious, comfy, romantic, with a southern-coastal twist.
I love this bedding:

 With this reading area and a makeup alcove like this:

I LOVE Tiffany Blue/Turquoise with white furniture along with mirrored and crystal accents.


Head on over to Kelsey's for more beautiful bedrooms!

Miscellany Monday

 (1) I'm participating in Carissa's new Monday meme thing... come join the fun.  
(2) I had a relaxing weekend, we went to the Island and enjoyed some fun in the sun!  But boy am I in pain now.... It was overcast yesterday so I wasn't putting on sunscreen as often as I should. Now my back is the color of a tomato. I can't ever remember being sunburned in my entire life and now my body is hurtin' and already kinda itchy. Don't even get me started on how the water in my shower felt like needles this morning as it  Aloe that's been in the fridge is my new best friend, hopefully this burn will fade into a beautiful tan...

(3) Yesterday we saw a peacock on the side of the road, he was very pretty. We stopped to take his picture and he squawked at us, then flew up on the fence post. We drove a little further and there was a field of peacocks, I didn't get a good picture of them though. Here's the main guy, hanging out on the fence.

(4) Does anyone know why Mondays at work drag out?  Especially in the summer, it's like the office is in slow-mo

(5) I have a secret, if I told you it wouldn't be a secret so I'm gonna keep it to myself for a little bit longer.

(5) in honor of my pain sunburn, here's a video...Remember this song?

This was fun! Have a great rest of the day!
