So I was right. This week was nuts. Sucked, actually. I was swamped at work, I was called "incompetent", the window leaked on my desk, and to top it all off - the system crashed. I mean, totally and completely, crashed. That was on Thursday morning.... when I was right in the middle of payroll. Which means that just when I though that I was catching up - I'M NOT. Tomorrow will be the worst, trying to catch up on everything as I was off on Friday. I went in yesterday to try to catch up a bit but for some reason I don't have the program on my computer anymore. I tried calling our computer people, but its their day off..... no, really? It was my "long weekend" off and I was still in there trying to work. Grrrrrrr.

Anyways, on to the furniture thing. So far all of the pieces that I see on the internet and love are really crappy when I see them for real. We've gone to so many places and I'm kind of getting tired of it. The pieces that I see and that we both actually agree on are super expensive, so it's frustrating! But here's the piece that I really want.

Like it??? I do! I can picture a few Royal Doulton in there.... have to get a few more to put in here! Maybe this week I will be able to convince Jason how nice it is and we'll get it! I think it is perfect, and it matches the woodwork in this old house. I'm just kind of apprehensive about the size - after painting the living room and making it so bright, I don't want to make it look really dark by adding this piece. What do you think???

Here I am on the computer again when I'm trying to do laundry and get the dishes done. Guess I better go!

P.S. Joey has a countdown - 13 days Aunt Laney!!!

Nice piece but not for a common room as it seems a bit upscale. Is it going to fit in? Does look like a fine addition to your home.

I hope its going to fit in...... its being delivered tomorrow!!! I guess it all depends on how you use it and what you put in it - its definetly a change from millions of toys in the corner to this!!! So excited :)
