What? Like you don't do it too.

While out Christmas shopping for others I ended up finding a pair of shoes I couldn't pass up.  They were just the right amount of sexy, tall heels, different from all my other black heels and too good of a price.  Already on sale for $48 I also had a $10 off coupon so I scored these beauts for less than $40!  Merry Christmas Me!  :)  I know ya'll buy yourself a little sumthin sumthin while out shopping for others too, right???

Please excuse the shitty picture quality.  I tried to find a picture of them online but couldn't find one for the life of me...  Weird.  Anyway, in case anyone is interested they are Lauren by Ralph Lauren and on the box it says Fern.

Have a happy weekend!!!

Home Improvement or Purses? What's a Woman To Do?!?!

So I’ve been eyeing some bags lately & wishing I had some extra cash to splurge on some of these beauties for spring:
CK Ikat Pocket Shopper
See by Chloe Daytripper Zipped Tote
CK Tangerine Glazed Leather Hobo Bag
CK Women's Leather Stitched Hobo Bag
B. Makowsky Florence Shopper
See by Chloe Women's Medium Punch Line Tote
Aren't they so cute and springy? And some of them are actually very reasonably priced but I’m not going to do it. I'm going to "just say no"! But I have a fever & the only thing that can cure it is…purses? Or more cowbell. Either way. Regardless, the point behind me attempting to save money right now is so that I can get my house looking like it belongs on HGTV instead of in the ghetto. Why would my house look like it belongs in the ghetto, you ask? Well, for your viewing pleasure, 3 projects that we have not made any progress on in a very long time:

Project 1 - Kitchen Patio Door
We installed a new patio door in September 2007. That’s right. 2007. Well over a year ago. And ever since then it’s looked like this:
This has been delayed for way way way too long but not any more! We are going to finish this up this weekend! That’s right! I finally pestered, bugged, poked, prodded & annoyed the hubs long enough (w/ some help from the parents last weekend) that he has agreed to work on it this weekend! Yay! Soon my kitchen will no longer look like it's pieced together by tape and mud!!! Unfortunately, that means home improvement work this weekend & no drunken debauchery. The things I sacrafice. Boo… :(

Project 2 - Backyard
We built this great deck & installed stepping stones last fall & I can’t wait to use it this spring! We even have new patio furniture to use so no one has to bring over their own chairs! Awesome right? Not so awesome however is what the side yard looks like. For some reason Wade started tearing down our ugly, old & rotting fence that provides privacy between our neighbors house & ours prior to us actually having a new fence to put in it’s place. When I caught him mid-tear down I screamed at him to stop b/c I want some privacy still, thus leaving our side yard looking like this... A mega shit hole. I call this our ghetto fence. We will not be getting to this over the weekend (unfortunately) but I have to save up some money for it nonetheless. I’m sure our fairly new next door neighbors love looking at this atrocity every day & probably wonder why the hell we have a giant hole in our fence. I am hoping upon hope & wishing upon stars that we will have it fixed up by the end of the month. I’ve got my fingers crossed, am counting my lucky stars & am searching for 4-leafed clovers. I’m also going to start eating Lucky Charms non-stop.

Project 3 - Finish Half Story into Master Bedroom
This was one of our very first projects & by far the most time & money consuming of them all. We tore out the existing ugliness... (Yikes, right?) & rebuilt the walls, installed new lighting, built a new railing, built a walk-in closet & put in new carpeting. We finished up w/ all of this well over a year ago in December 2007. All that was left to do was install the trim around the floors, windows & doors & to fix up the built in drawers that are in the walls. You’d think we could get that done being that the majority of the room is complete, but nope. It’s been sitting like this for a year & half. Pretty nice, eh?

Anyway, after the above items are finished we still need to install new windows on the back side of the house, do a complete bathroom re-haul & replace the kitchen cabinets. I really just want to get some shit finished so that it actually looks like we are investing money into our house & making it nicer instead of just letting it sit & look like a shit pile. I’ve put my foot down & said no more new projects can be started until we finish the 3 listed above which will hopefully cause the hubs to work toward completing them. He has a bad habit of starting something, getting it mostly done, getting bored with it all & then starting something new that is more interesting. Can you say ADD much? Anyway, now you can see why I need to watch my spending. Although what I REALLY want to buy is this…
Cole Haan Huarache Triangle Tote

What? I have an addiction. I heard the first step is admitting I have a problem…
