I can't figure out how Restoration Hardware is still around?! Their model wasn't working, so they went the beige and grey distressed direction which bored everyone to death. And then on top of it all, they're spending a fortune on these catalogs? How is this even possible? Wow.


Fall Catalogs: How Much is Too Much?

Not only does my best friend NOT pack anything until you come over to help her on moving day, BUT many times she has honestly expected you to help her put her new place together so it's all moved in and complete by end of day. I am not joking.

House Voyeur, wow on both counts!

OMG. This is such a point of contention for me. I have this one friend, I've known her for approximately twelve years. I've helped her move back and forth, here and there, at least six to seven times. Finally, I told her, on her last move, that was IT. I was done. Find someone else.

A) Who moves within a 60 mile radius eight times in twelve years. (Crazy people, that's who.) And B) Just because she's one of my best friends does not mean I have to bend over backwards for her every time (it's called being a doormat.)

My boyfriend (of only a year, so he has yet to learn) thinks differently ("You should always be there for your friends and family, NO MATTER what.") and during a recent visit, my best friend says to my boyfriend (in front of me) "You'll help me move in a couple of months, won't you?" cause yes, she's moving for a ninth time, BACK to her old apt. And she was trying to get him to guilt me into helping. He of course agreed to help her, and my response was "Well, you two have FUN!" ;)

Obviously it's a sore spot. Feel free to agree, or beat me down. I'm curious what others think. Isn't there such a thing as too much, even in friendships?
