The Wood Paneling Debate

Since moving into our 1940's cottage style home, Ben and I have always disagreed about our living room's wood paneling.  We have that "real" wood paneling that I believe is knotty pine, that a previous owner thought was really fancy and had it installed in both the living room and one of our bedrooms.  Ben loves it and thinks it is really fun and vintage.  I hate it and how dark it makes our living room.  I seriously want to paint over it and Ben hates that...

Hair Dilemma

I am having a hair dilemma.  For a while, I really wanted to let my hair grow long.  But now just like every other time I try to let it grow out,  I realize that my hair isn't really made to be long.  It is fine and straight and pretty boring at it's current length.   I made an appointment for tomorrow and I want to take the plunge and get it cut really short but of course I have really no idea what I want. Anyways, I have narrowed it down to a couple of photos of haircuts I like...

Tree and Bird Identification iPhone Apps!

I spend more time than I should searching Google  images, trying to identify either a plant or a bird that I have seen in my yard.   For the past two weeks, I have been picking leaves off this tree I hate and bringing them inside to try and figure out what the hell it is.  I kind of want to pull it up because it cast a small shadow on a corner of our garden and harbors Poison Ivy but I...

90′s Party

Our friend Ed recently had a 90's themed birthday party thrown for him by his lovely wife, Kristen.   The party was a blast.  There was an awesome 90's play list, 90's trivia, fun 90's food (i.e. Fruit by the Foot and Bagel Bites) and best of all, slap bracelets.  Ben and I also had a lot of fun getting ready for the party, so I decided to share what we wore.  We were inspired by 90s grunge and My So Called Life (or maybe that was just me.)
