a curtain for the shower.....
Well internet people I have a confession to make...
I want this....
A cotton ruffled shower curtain from Urban Outfitters.
There are 2 potential problems with this:
1. It is $68 - and you guessed it - I cannot bring myself to ever pay $68 for a shower curtain.
2. I already have a surplus of shower curtains.
You see - I have this nude colored shower curtain that I have had for a few years that I have used the entire time. It is a nice shower curtain .. I mean it has served me well.. but I know it is time to retire it.
However I also have an cool IKEA shower curtain in my guest bathroom (never actually been used for a shower)
It is a fine shower curtain - and I have to say that this is not the greatest picture of it.
And I still have a yellow shower curtain that I have had for a while that I do not use anymore... It is just solid yellow - plain shower curtain, but nice... I was saving it for my little sister when I thought she was moving out on her own - but she hasn't quite gotten there yet. So I have it in the sister box for now. (just a note - the sister box is becoming boxes - and I am wondering if I need to give up on it for now and find her new stuff when she is ready to live on her own)
In the meantime - I have been spying white shower curtains that I want... there was this really pretty white waffle shower curtain at Target. It was $26 and I am too cheap for that... I didn't need it - and why spend money because I don't need it. Well Cody and I were cruising Target the other day and found this shower curtain for $12... Oh I was so excited - Just because it was the one I wanted and it was only $12..... So I bought it.
And there is one more new shower curtain - but that is another story....
Next on my shower list - is one of those shower curtain rods like that have at hotels that curves out so the shower curtain liner never touches you... (I hate to be touched by the shower curtain)
Granny if you are reading this - Just ignore the feelings you have about me having too many shower curtains I don't need - but do you think you could sew some window curtains that look like the first shower curtain. I will not be buying the $68 shower curtain.

since I was 7...
Since I was 7 or 8 years old - my favorite movie has been Footloose. I am not convinced that I liked this movie because it was cinematic masterpiece(haha) or because there was just something that random that a 7 year old identified with. Maybe it was the music?...The footloose soundtrack was the first cassette tape I ever owned after I got my first Walkman. I even had a purple shirt that had Footloose printed on the front in that Footloose font.
This was one of my favorite scene from the movie. I always dreamed of doing this stunt even though I am too much of a chicken to ever try it.
That Sammy Hagar song was perfect for that scene - don't you think?
Did you see Sarah Jessica Parker?

Long time... no post...
Well those of you that know me know that I have been really busy at work as this is my busy time... So there has been little time for blogs or really anything else for that matter. I have only seen my cute niece 2 times this year and one of those time was New Year's Day!!! Geez I miss her.
Also it has been such a snowy year so far - especially for the Southeast.. And it always seems to snow on the busiest days at work.. which makes it harder when folks don't show up.
Anyway I saw this on etsy the other day and I think it is lovely...
The shop is SarahandBendrix - hmm kinda sounds familiar...

little sister..vintage jewelry...
This is my little sister circa 1990 adorned with all kinds of vintage costume jewelry. Being about 13 at the time - I had no idea they were "vintage" - I just knew some old lady gave them to us to play dress up. All I wanted to do was dress up this cute little baby and take photos and she was always so cooperative.
We had so much fun playing taking fun pictures over the years.
..
Annie - It is your turn now. I can't wait.
