If you give a mouse a cookie...

I am having a If you give a mouse a cookie moment here, remember that kids book, basically it starts a long line of wants/demands. Last night i put on my new duvet, which I was excited to see that the kisses were created by little buttons sewn on with all different color string…its like sprinkles! Anyway, so then I was starting to not like my headboard color, basic ivory linen…and then I remembered seeing these when I fist saw the duvet:
Which got me to thinking…although I do not want a pattern…so I tried some of this awesome pink cloth I have had for years…excuse my unmade bed, but I was on a mission…and this is a draping experiment, so don’t judge the headboard quality.
Any thoughts?

What on earth have I been doing that I have not put these up yet!?! We’ll blame family and friends who have been been taking over my life from Friday evening at 5 until about four hours ago…
Well, all is back to normal for a few days so I can tie up all loose ends and get back on schedule…speaking of which I walked Faye this afternoon after 5 days off and decided it was that time to start running without her…basically when I get back into running in the warmer months I have to leave Faye at home so she doesn’t have a heart attack. This evening I went by myself and enjoyed an awesome 3 mile run…nothing big, just enjoyed the cool air and the feeling of running hills without fearing that my dog will demise.
I am accomplishing things left and right today! Here are the rest of the I’m A Flirt Earrings, there are 6 colors total and all already posted on Manic Trout.
Now if only those new charms would ever arrive I could finish and post the other 5 Let’s Stay Together Necklaces…
Mine, all mine!

Remember waaaay back in Feb, you know, those days when I was so stressed out that I was falling apart, well in one of the few posts that month that were not about how stressed and busy I was I mentioned that I was in love with a duvet cover over at Anthropologie. On a side note, the really sad thing about no longer having a day job is that I have no extra funds to shop there right now…hey Anthro, I’ll barder jewelry for clothes! Anyway so my mom took my hint, ahem my demand for the duvet and euro shams to spruce up my bed for my birthday/spring and I finally received the duvet, yay! The shams are still back ordered until mid June, sigh. I have not put it on the bed yet, and trust me my mom completely mortified me by asking if I was improving up my bed because I have a new beau…horrified…thats the look I had when she asked that! Yeah so I avoided the answer to that then as well. I did however want to share the packaging, because it was oh so blissfully perfectly anthro-esque.
Allergies bum me out

I have allergies at weird times, right between seasons and rainy days…basically i think its that I am allergic to mold, but really all it does it make me exhausted on rainy spring days…and that is no way to feel on a day when its a struggle to have energy to begin with. Although my allergy medicine makes me a kind of ill, jittery tired…which is a bizarre feeling that I really could do without. I am trying to pull myself together as 9pm – 1am are usually my most productive hours of the day and I just spent the entire evening at my moms with two of my sisters, so I have a lot to do…and here I sit…in a stupor.

So I was just making my way through my daily blog roll and had only made it to Cherry Coloured where I completely fell head over heels in love with Bernard Faucon whose photographs I will show you oodles of now, because quite frankly I want to look at them myself all week.

I have a love/hate relationship with grocery shopping, I love it because as my mom pointed out to me once, its still shopping after all, but I hate dealing with all the people and lines and my biggest pet peeve of all…when food I buy every single week goes on sale and therefore disappears from the racks. Baby spinach in the box (not bag), baby carrots and tomatoes on the vine could not be found! I actually thought there was another spinach recall, but then I saw the sale sign. The parking is even worse, why can no one drive in the supermarket parking lot!?! oh well, at least its done for the week, now I get to eat my treat (for not flipping out on people) a Kashi frozen Mediterranean pizza…oh alright I’ll admit that I bought twizzlers as a treat too!
