I'm Turning into my Parents!

So we had big plans for Friday night.  Badda Big Plans.  The possibilities consisted of (A) going to a balloon festival and seeing the art all lit up on a chilly autumn night, or (B) heading to downtown Dallas to a super cool renovated venue to listen to a Jack Ingram acoustic concert. Are you on pins and needles wondering which plan we landed on? Well the answer would be plan (C): the old couple plan. Instead, I sat in the kitchen putting together a step ladder from Ikea while Patrick hosted the kitchen making me fish and...

A Rare Hare

I didn't organize my time management very well last week; all I could think about is finishing up everything I wanted to do around our new place. So when I got home on Friday evening and realized I forgot to finish sewing my costume, Patrick was confused.  "What time does it start??? When are we getting there? We are going to be late!!" Then he realized comments like that might make me flustered, "Oh, no...it...doesn't....matter......Whenever we get there is when we get there...." We might have been the last ones to get there, but we...

Curing Withdrawls

I had just been telling Patrick about my live music withdrawls.....threatening to need hospitalization for professional treatment before I started having DT's.  Thank goodness Tim and Lara called with free tickets to a concert we didn't know we wanted to go to!!! After teasing Patrick for not getting the "wear black memo", and sharing some Thai food and Saki at Naga, we walked across the street to one of our favorite concert venues.   I know it may seem like music overload up there, but you should seriously consider...

We Tried

I got to play hide and seek with this little guy in Stein Mart the other day after my toddler interview at Starbucks. Blake: So...Where do you live? Where does your Mom live? Where does your Dad live? My mom lives in Prosper. So...Where do you work? Where does your Mom work? Where does your Dad work? My mom works at the hospital.  And the cutest thing was him asking, "Is it okay if I come?" each time we got out of the car at a new store. We'll have to soak up the cuteness while it lasts, though.....because one day, he'll turn...

Runaway

If you've ever met our oldest yorkie, Callie, then you probably know she's not a fan of hectic situations. Needless to say, it's been overly unorganized lately, and it's flared up more anxiety than a thunder jacket can muffle. So in order to decrease her (and our own) worries for adverse events occuring during moving weekend, we had all the animals stay at the Jessica and Bobby Hotel for the weekend. Everyone knows Sumo is our adventurous one, so when we received a phone call from a stranger on Saturday saying...

Utterly Embarrassing Timing

Source: quickmeme.com via Amy on Pinterest When you're single, you have to always be on your toes about your appearance.....who knows when you're going to get lucky, right? But when you've already met the man of your dreams and you can predict your "lucky nights" a little better, it's easy to slack off on certain habits......and by "certain habits" I mean hygienic routines......and by "hygienic routines" I'm referring to using a razor......and by "using a razor" if you still don't know what I'm talking about,...

Home Sweet Home

It took us a couple of weeks, but with the help of my family getting all of our belongings from point A to point B, we are completely moved into the new neighborhood. I don't rest well when there's decorating to be done, so we have been working like army ants to get everything finished.  Most of our things have a long history or sentimental meaning, and I tried to display them in a way to create a functional and homy, yet vintage-eclectic-primitive-chic-look. I've had some requests to see pictures of what I've been doing, so here...
