Depression

I was really depressed last week so I shopped. I really hardly ever spend money, unless i'm partying; but, this was called for...


so, of course my pictures suck becuase i'm a sucky photographer, but here's what i bought:

This is kinda funky but i needed a new duvet cover for the summertime since you can probably figure out what happened to the old one:




And this is a very cool, soft & happenin' rug...It was time to get rid of the old one since you can probably figure out what happened to that one:



And FINALLY, at 42 years of age, I might have a back yard cute enough for people to visit...

Believe it or not, this all came to UNDER $400...i might be depressed; but, I still am cheap.

Yes, your place is becoming quite the party pad. I think you should throw a "re-housewarming"

Well done!! I love everything you bought. I laughed at your explanation of what happened to the old things. Click the picture and look at his face - all is forgotten - he's so cute. But, man oh man, can I totally relate. Our bedspread has been Jack Russellized! (Or should I say Simon's bedspread.) I climb in at night, just pooped and end up lying in a bunch of dog cookie crumbs. Or I have to squeeze in amongst the balls, ropes, bones, kong, etc. I especially like your patio set. Very nice!

You always make me smile and laugh with your blogs and I hate to hear that you have been feeling down.

Hope the shopping helped!

Your backyard looks so nice. I like how you have the rug under your table out there.
