If I have nothing to do or easy table top crafts- I'll watch Law & Order all day. And whenever a new Damages is about to come out I watch all the seasons over again before watching the new season. I'm just waiting for the last season of Damages to be released on DVD...
But, like someone said, I noticed with other shows that binge viewing certain shows is bad because you realize how bad the writing and acting is. I've noticed that with a few shows- I can't remember which, but I was happy.

Yeah, I was going to say C&B has some very nice ones with prices you can live with.

Coffee & Cigs, music, check emails, fb, etc. Then I generally check news with a quick scan. Then look at pretties, like Apartment Therapy and other design blogs. Pet the cat. I take 2 hrs for all this and then either go to work or if I'm off bring my apartment "back to ready". Then see daily binder and start crossing off responsibilities!

I tired this finally and it's amazing! I noticed more of Raja, my cat's, hair ended up in the lint trap and my clothes never get snagged and actually seem to be lasting longer. Best tip ever!!!

I'd say the mid-century modern ranch in Raising Hope. Love everything about it! And I love Patty Hewes's apartment & office from Damages.

This CB2 concole is cheap and pretty awesome. If you can pull off green- otherwise for more there's other colors. But CB2 is awesome.

symmetry. i can not stand symmetry.
broken plastic blinds- throw them in the TRASH!!! they cost 50ยข. here- I have extra curtains somewhere- you obviously don't care if your windows don't look nice so who cares if they match.
fake plastic dusty plants. throw them in the trash next to your broken blinds.
la-z-boy furniture makes me gag a little bit. i go with looks over comfort. they have comfortable chairs and whatnot at ikea- and it's cheaper and you can replace the Doritos stained cover for even cheaper. throw it in the trash.
any furniture that looks like belongs in a van- you know- those sofa's with built in cup holders (cup holders in your sofa?!!?) and big carpeted speakers. THROW IT IN THE TRASH!!!

I have basil and catnip and patchouli and mint surrounding my front porch with a lot of other plants and we never get bothered... Now- how do I annoying moths from coming on my porch attracted to the living room light?! LOL they're so stupid and fly into my citronella candles in the back yard and clog up my wax. Dumbest. Bugs. Ever. And I try to keep my bf from killing the spiders but he's afraid of them. Ugh.

I redecorate like once a week! HAHA! I get paid on Fridays and almost always buy something new and/or I'm always making new stuff myself so things have to be moved around. My boyfriend thinks I'm insane. And then After a couple weeks of buying stuff and making things I look around and foam at the mouth because it's too cluttered! I just need a big house.
