I accidently won an instant Polaroid camera on Ebay. I say accidently because I haven’t won any of the last 5 trillion things I’ve bid on so I wasn’t expecting anything different this time. It was just a “we’ll see if they allow me to get away with this low bid” kind of bid. At first I felt bad because I had just gotten a parking ticket and wasn’t excited about shelling out more money but now I’m getting excited and I’ve found some inspiring pictures. I think this is going to be the start of something great. Let’s just try to forget that the film is not so cheap and I’ll try to make the most of every pic.

I really like this idea I found from an Apartment Therapy tour. All they did was blow up some pictures, attached them to adhesive foam core and then attached them to the wall with velcro command strips. A great idea for those who are poor and renting like me.
PS The apartment also has a cute kitchen and living room to check out.
Dear Dream House,
$2,290,000! You must be joking!
Dear PMS,
Just go away, you have been around way too long.
Dear Sunshine,
Please never go away.
Dear orange rolls,
I can’t wait until I’m done with work so I can enjoy you again.
Dear Easter Bunny,
Thank you for the great basket but I’m afraid I have a sugar headache today from all of the chocolatey goodness.
Sincerely,
Mel B.




Just a few lovely pics of inspiration to celebrate this happy Friday. (via Desire to Inspire, Oh Happy Day!, and Design Sponge.)

Because our lives are pretty darn boring, I often make my hubby play “Would You Rather?” with me so we have something to talk about. This one really stumped me: Would you rather go to Oprah when she just has an okay show (think Dr. Oz) or go to Ellen when she has a huge giveaway with $10000 worth of prizes?
I bet you can’t guess what I answered.

Sorry for the overload of posts but my blog list gave me too much inspiration today. I just love this idea.


This Before and After featured on Design Sponge took my breath away. How they ever saw potential in that nasty smelling house, I’ll never know. Please click on the link and look at all of the pictures, you won’t be disappointed. Oh, and I’m adding a breakfast nook to my “Must have in my house” list.

Good news, they’re still making them.

I wish I lived closer so I could babysit for you today. Actually, I really just want to eat your cake.

I la la la love lists. I make lists for just about everything. I started a little notebook of lists in high school and I still add things to it. These lists range from the ordinary (Hates and Loves) to some a little bit more random (Times I’ve Laughed the Hardest). Since I’m feeling quite negative today I’m going to list my current hates:
• When somebody says “I want to eat him/her/baby” or “I could just eat him up.” They are usually referring to a cute child but I just don’t understand why you would say you would eat them. Do they look like a piece of food? Is food cute? I don’t really think food I eat is cute, besides nicely decorated cupcakes and maybe gummy bears.
• Jeff spelled Geoff
• Calling a woman college student a co-ed
• When babies or animals talk with adult voices (think Look Who’s Talking)
• Spitting in public unless you just ran a race
• Unorganized clothing stores
