Yesterday on channel 10 news:
A father walks into a BP gas station
to get a coffee and leaves his
7 year old in car. A man steals the
car with the boy in it while the dad
is inside store!

11:30am

It sure makes one feel a little
better when trying to spruce up the place!
All it could take is putting up
new pictures and a little
rearranging of furniture
to give your place a new look.
I'm so ready for Spring is
why I wanted to give the place
a fresh look. And what else
ya gonna do when cooped
up indoors this time of year?

Today I hung up a few shelves
and gave the living room a few
splashes of black which pops
out from the yellow walls.

The walls look beige in the picture
but believe me they are yellow!

Shelves were free from an
eviction apartment.
Ornaments on shelves were
free as well. I found them on parts
of an old screen door and painted them black.
I liked the scroll work on them.
on them.
Living and dining room is still
a work in progress.

To balance out the black around
the couch I want to paint these
wooden stands black (not quite sure
what they are supposed to be use for.)
I use them on each sides of the couch
to put the surround speakers on.
Another freebie that was
dumpster dived.

This might be something I will
be on the hunt for that I think would
look pretty as wall decorations,
porch lanterns.
I want to find 2, paint them black
and use them to put battery
operated, flameless candles in.
May have to check habitat soon :0)

1:15pm

Dollar General gave me a survey to do
asking what I thought about the
name Dollar General Market
for their new store that will
have a larger grocery section with
produce, refrigerated and frozen foods.
They also asked if I had another idea
for a name. Here's what I said...

Dollar General Express-
Like a convenience store
but with much more.
Not too big, not too small,
you don't have to super size
to get it all.

My honey found me another
ring today. This one was
under the stove and the last
one was under the fridge.
Too bad it's not real, lol.
It's cubic zirconia and sterling silver
according to the markings
on the inside of the ring.
It's an eternity ring meaning
the stones go all the way around
in a full circle.

I got the 2 tables spray painted
black that I use on both sides
of my couch for the surround speakers.

I also added a wreath.
