I'm Bored!







Ok! So the hubby's @ work.......still......I guess I shouldn't complain since he works on commission and when he's busy it means we get to eat this week!!!




The kids are outside




with friends



and the hose



doing who knows what to my yard




and I don't care!



It's so freakin' HOT



and I'm tired of yelling at them!




When I'm bored I tend to rearrange things in my house. They are perfectly fine the way they were, but just for kicks I mess some more with them cuz..........













I"M BORED!!!






It got me thinkin'







I was a snot. I remember in high school my friend Michelle and I would strut around in our "Gerbeau" jean shorts, "Guess" watches, and I can't remember the name of them but they were really expensive leather shoes. WE WERE COOL!!


At least we thought so



Her Dad would always call us "hot **** wanabes"


and dangit

we were!






I would never shop at a place like the DI......heaven forbid I would reuse anything!



Now its sooooooooooooooo many years later and I have to say






I'm obsessed with that store and the way I can decorate with stuff!






Did I mention my hubby works on commission?!




Did I mention that sometimes we are poooooo




So poor that we can't afford the "R"



Did I mention I like to decorate?






So in my boredum tonight I decided to show just what I have found at the great DI!


And to show that I am not a snot


I have done a complete 360!!
The picnic baskets were like $2
each.......
this vase was also $2!

Pillow shams $1 eachthe urn $2...umbrella stand $4

and that finial (sorry spelling) it

pillow $1 and my chest.....$4!!!!

I know I'm weird but the DI ROCKS!!!!!!

Love it! I haven't seen your room forever (I'm assuming that's your bedroom) (Not like I'd really visit your room every time I'm there!) :0) Love the pillow shams! Love the DI! Love that you're so pooooooo you can't afford the 'r' cause that's me! Love that as we grow older we realize how dumb we used to be! Love it! Love it! Love it!! You give me good ideas!! :0)

I loved your post...I too was way too cool for the DI, loved my Girbaud jeans, oh yeah, those were the days! You are so creative and find such good treasures! Now that your house is so cute, you can start on mine!
