Saw it, too. Died laughing.

Okay, so the hubs and I recently went over this as he complained about the ugly pj's I wear around the house (shorts and a large shirt usually). he went though my lingerie drawer to ask why this stuff was always hiding. A lot of it had been given as gifts by people who had no clue what size my chest is (and just ugly) and some of it was uncomfortable to wear more than 20 minutes (i.e if he thinks I'm wearing it under my work clothes so I can look sexy as soon I'm home, he's got another things coming!) I explained to him that I'm not exactly lounging seductively around the house for him all day; I'm cleaning, cooking and organising and reading and trying to be not too hot (sweaty!!) or cold, and in general, after a long day at work, I want to be comfy. But to appease him, I went out to find some pretty things to wear. I came home empty handed and teary eyed and frustrated at him and every store in my town. @theScreamQueen: I'm a 36DD and it seems only nude/black/white bras are made in those sizes with thick padded straps. It's frustrating that I can't walk into a store and pick up some cute things (don't even get me started on lingerie that doesn't "hold up"), but have to order stuff online I cannot try on for twice the price. Victoria's secret is 3 hours away and honestly, I'm not a huge fan of their products/styles. And why are cute pyjamas hard to find and so expensive?!? Fuzzy hello kitty pants are a dime a dozen but something retro that might please us BOTH? Forget it! Grrrr....this post opened a can of worms!!!

Why so much "eek" at the deer head? We've seen 'em before and we shall see them again. My parents have a cabin full of 'em. Most were found at garage sales, and even then they had been killed to eat, and then the head mounted as a trophy. It's the epitome of eating organic, healthy, grass fed meat, right? And the fact that people have been keeping the heads to boast over for centuries now, well, if that still shocks some of you...

P.S CUTE place. Original and bright. I like that.

Go for clean lines and fun, bold prints in neutrals, like white, black, or navy. Do metal (bar carts, coffee tables). The shape of the couch can easily lean towards ugly model home furniture someone's mom bought, so use the elements around it to make it feel modern, using, like I said, clean lines in frames/art/accent furniture. ( I like the dog print pillow you currently have, so work with that idea, too!!)

We'd only relocate if my husband get's the job he's interviewing for. So no problem there. We currently live in a town with terrible rentals (I'm talking trailers from the 50's or apartments that haven't been updated since '80 and there is always a druggie next door) with too high prices. Our apartment now has it's flaws but it's clean and safe and cheap and charming. The town itself is 99% Caucasian, hot headed, gun toting people who drive badly, haha. Plus it's hot and ugly. I'm serious. Worst place ever.

Wow, this is...great. Just what I needed. That tea towel is hilarious, and whilse I am NOT into novelty shower curtains, I would totally rock that one in my bathroom.

I've always been paranoid that *I* am the noisy neighbour. We aren't very loud, and husband drum set is in pieces in the corner, but I don't think much can be heard by our downstairs neighbours in terms of doors shutting or walking around. We recently had notes delivered to all the apartments on my floor saying there have been complaints about noise in one apartment. We couldn't guess who it was, and we were really hoping it wasn't us! We have friends over on the weekends (there's usually about 7 of us) and we often talk loudly but try to keep quiet after 10 and never have loud music, and I am always shushing them. I was afraid someone mistook our discussions as arguing, but the note said they heard arguing and 3am....that was definitely not us! I suppose I'd rather a neighbour tell me I am being loud. I'm not a sociopath at all; I am living my life and don't plan to tiptoe and whisper all the time. But if I know there is an issue, I'll do whatever I can to resolve it.

I really like the design aspect here, scandinavian meets sesame street :) Too cute.
I will weigh in on Taylor swift though...I do not find her adorable, she calls herself a nerd (poser), I think her music is awful and cliche, she doesn't have a heart to break....she enjoys getting dumped. Okay I am done, now back to cleaning!

Mmm, I just bought tumblers that are iridescent...I love the poop out of them.

The photo here is beautiful. I love the gold, whites and blues. A great balance
