Show & Tell #1

If you were searching for a home right now, what would be on your must list?

-a pool: Gotta keep cool in the Minnesota heat and humidity!

-a hammock: take a nap and a nice reading area.

-my own office: for blogging and studying!

Show me your favorite room in a house?

I love offices that are spacious, like this one:

I love the zebra print and the black and white!

If you could have any room redone, which would it be and what would you have done?

I'd love my own room, right now, I'm sharing with my sister.  I would have a chalkboard wall, I would have a wall of bookshelves and then I would have a nice little desk/office nook.  

Tell me where your favorite stores are to shop for home decor?

I don't really buy myself stuff for the house, considering I still live at home.  I do like pottery barn and a chic look I guess, I don't know really haha. 

Show me your dream home

I love the look of this house!   

Go link up with Becky from Mrs. to Mama!

Great Monday.

Today was pretty awesome!

I got to sleep until 10:30 which is virtually unheard of. Did a few chores and then just relaxed most of the day.

Around 4:30 Mady and I decided we were going to go tubing down the Elk(a river) that runs right through our backyard, we thought hey what the heck why not bring Cooper.  Yeah, that didn't work so well. We started off by the bridge, and right after the first turn, we hear the hissing that indicates that her tube has a hole.  Not just a tiny hole though, a big hole.  So we walk back upstream, get her a new tube and bring the dog back home, then we went and tubed and were able to actually get all the way down to my grandma and grandpa's which is where we get off & my grandma asked if we wanted to go see Ice Age: Continental Drift and we both were really wanting to see it, so we agreed, and we just got home from her house after seeing the movie and then having homemade peach pie.

Mady and I are just watching The Ex and falling asleep.

Tomorrow is my last day of work for 8 days and then it's vacation time!

& don't forget to link up on Mrs. Monologues' blog for Blog Star tomorrow!   

The Random.

Happy Saturday Evening!  Hope everyone's weekend so far is going good.  I have worked both days and work has been crazy!  Good thing I like crazy :)

Last night, I watched We Bought A Zoo with the family.  Such a great movie! I strongly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it yet, I mean, it's Matt Damon, how can you go wrong? Now I really want to read the book!

You know what I think is sad?  Widowed men.  Women bounce back quicker from losing a loved one I think.  I just think a man who has lost his wife, there is something that tugs at my heartstrings a lot.  I'm probably weird lol.  But it's just a thought in the random thought filled place known as my brain.

I just watched Michael Phelps won last gold medal in the Olympics.  I have been watching the Olympics pretty much non-stop.  My favorite two events so far? Beach volleyball and swimming, and who can forget the fab 5 USA Women's gymnastics?

I have two more shifts at work, then 8 days off.  I'm heading to Iowa for the stock car races for a part of that, and then my Uncle will be coming in from Colorado, so I'll get to spend some time with him, so I'm pretty excited!

I have to be at work by 7 a.m. tomorrow, so I should probably sign off and head to bed!

Have a good night everybody!

Dear Friday...
