Today I will share with you five freakishly awesome things from my life. Those of you that follow me on Instagram (username: decorandthedog) already have the inside scoop on most of them but I felt like EVERYONE needed to know about the following….
1. The Pinterest app for Android is now available. I broke up with Pinterest for awhile. You know, when it started “seeing” everyone in my real life. But I got over it and now we’re on again. Browsing aimlessly makes my heart happy.
2. My dear friend, Amanda, was home from Reno. We went thrifting. I found these Wire Fox bookends. Obviously our time spent together was a success.
Ike was jealous and decided he needed to be a Kindle bookend. My feet look freakishly huge and dirty in this photo. Only one of those is actually true.
3. Amanda, Nate, and I also ate a delicious supper at Crust in Bettendorf. Naples style pizza. Cheese curds fried in a 312/funnel cake combo batter. Life changing.
4. Nate and I had our first kickball game of the season on Tuesday. It’s our second season playing. We’re old pros. Oh wait, Nate is. I just stand in the outfield and pray that the ball isn’t kicked to me. True story. But I do have a pretty fierce kickball stare perfected…
5. Our new living room rug arrived. I type “our” like Nate is excited about the new purchase. He totally digs it. I ordered it from Overstock. I had a horrible previous experience so I was afraid to open it. I opened just an end yesterday. So far so good. I’ll show you more next week when it’s in place. Unless I hate it and have to send it back.
I managed to twist my knee while lugging it closer to the couch to better visualize. I am one handy little lady.
What’s freakishly awesome in your life this week? Fun apps? Rugs? Adult sporting leagues? Tell me all about them!
those bookends are awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove the bookends and can't wait to see the rug! It's freakishly awesome that my new faucet came yesterday and it's pretty magical. I think all I need to do is install it and the countertops and backsplash will transform without us lifting a finger. It's that pretty.
ReplyDeleteOMG. I'm nervous to download pinterest on my phone because then I am going to lose all productivity. I'll probably do it though.
ReplyDeleteAlso, how do you take a screen shot on your droid??
I second that! How did you get a screen shot of your droid???
DeleteYou and Nate look like vicious competitors! That kick ball league sounds dangerous. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the bookends! How perfect! We are playing on a dodgeball league right now. Jesse is the pro and I just try not to be the last person out there, which happened last night and was humiliating...
ReplyDeletePizza AND cheese curds? I want to go there. Good luck with kickball. I think we finished our season 3-3. Our team was almost banned because we have some intense male players that tended to get into arguments with a particular ref. Fun times. Can't wait to see the rug!
ReplyDeleteHmm? Whaaaah? I'm sorry. I thought I just read something about fried cheese.
ReplyDelete*wipes drool from cheek*
I'm dying to know what the new rug looks like!
The pinterest app means you will be "going steady" with your phone for a while. They recently updated the pinterest iPhone app so the interface is similar to the droids. Pretty sweet. Their website even got a fancy pants update...not that I'm excited at all lol!
I'm dying to see the rug, the suspense is killing me.
ReplyDeleteOMG. I haven't played kick ball in years...and the last time I did, I was totally that kid who hoped the ball wouldn't come to me. lol. I cannot believe that you haven't opened your new rug yet! Aren't you dying to see what it looks like? That must have been one traumatic previous experience!
ReplyDeleteFried cheese curds??? Do you kid? I adore cheese curds but have never heard of this. Must. Get. Some. Now!
ReplyDeleteFRIED CHEESE CURDS!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOpen the rug you big weenie.
I'm super jealous that you guys have a kick ball league to play in! And even though I follow you on Instagram, I totally loved your re-cap here. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I've never heard of Crust. It sounds and look amazing. I'm totally going soon.
ReplyDeleteKickball league? With that fierce glare you guys should be playing dodgeball!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of fried cheese curds; so now I'm gonna google it & pin me a recipe!
I too got a freakishly awesome rug this week! Woohoo.
ReplyDeleteI got a rug in the mail today! I didn't "technically" tell Andy that I'd ordered it, so I snuck the package upstairs to open it and make sure it looked good before I showed it to him. It's a cowhide. He thinks it's crazy. We're keeping it.
ReplyDeleteA rug in the mail! So awesome :) I can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteI heart especially large packages. And I just laughed out loud rereading that ;)
