I am the worst patient and I squirm in the chair like an eight year old boy the moment anyone goes to examine anything important particularly sensitive my eyes, my ears and even my teeth. I wish I was a better patient. I mean I try, but I am so scared that I am going […]
Sunday, June 29th, 2008Our trip to Pier 1
Lee wanted to get new bowls. He is very particular about the shape of a bowl and has been expressing his lack of love for our current set. Last year, he didn’t like our bowls so he decided to go to the 99 Cents store and purchase us new ones. After microwaving something in one […]
Saturday, June 28th, 2008My Favorite Piece of Furniture
My favorite piece of furniture that I own is the Pottery Barn Rhys Media Center. It took me weeks to buy it, but it was well worth it. The Rhys table is strong and very attractive. I love it! I have the middle piece that holds the television. I don’t have room for the two […]

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008My Vanity
I bought my vanity about 10 years ago online for $199.00. It’s cherry wood and I chose it because of the necklace holder drawer that is on the left side of the vanity. It’s great to hang long chains on so they don’t get tangled.

Sunday, June 15th, 2008House we bid on is no longer for sale
