Narc

On Saturday, we attened the hubster's best friend's daughter's birthday party.  She turned 5.  On the way over to his house, we were following a Cadillac that was going incredibly slow.  He made a pretty weird right turn where he veered way left and then turned right.  It was such an emphasized move that I commented on it.  At the next light, we pulled up to the car in the left turn lane and what do we see?  This guy is taking a drink from a can of Bud Light!  WTF, really?  Not even wrapped up in a paper bag.  I guess he must think he is above the law and can drink openly in his vehicle.

We were so taken aback by this.  I took a picture of his car when he drove by and then called 911 on his ass.  That is just dangerous and stupid.  I wonder if the cops found him.  I have my doubts.  He could have gone anywhere in the time it takes to make the call and for someone to respond.

I did feel kind of bad afterwards though.  I don't like to meddle in other people's lives if it causes a negative impact.  I waffled back and forth from thinking I did the right thing and telling myself I should have kept my nose out of it.  The hubster is supportive of my call, but I can't shake the feel of bad karma.  If it saved someone from being in an accident, I guess that would be good karma...

My new chair

I forgot to post pictures of my new chair since I didn't like the Ikea one.




Not bad for $37.45. I like it and I like how it sits high enough for the tallest setting of the desk c

Craft project!

Since my she-den has most of the furniture in it, I decided it needed a dog bed for the girls for when I'm working on projects. I looked around the Internet looking for something that will match the color scheme. Right now, it's white, lime green, and gray. Nothing really piqued my interest. Nothing in the right size, shape, color, or price range. So my next project: a dog bed.

I googled for a diy guide for dog beds and found one using pillows as the stuffing. Perfect! Usually I would hit up Home Goods for some pillows, but since I had a 30% off coupon at Kohls, i stopped by to look at their selection of pillows. Their house brand of pillows were on sale for $6. I picked up three and with my coupon, they were $12 and change. Next stop, JoAnn's.

I went to JoAnn's to find some fabric. I found a few good options, but in the end picked this one:



I liked the quilty pattern and how it picked up the green of my fabric bins. Since my room is lacking in other colors, I thought it'd be pretty festive. However, it was $8 a yard. I would need about 3.5 yards. That's $28! A little bit too much for me. I decided I'd either wait for a sale or find a coupon. At least I knew what I wanted.

I went to Target next to return my excess boxes. I figure while I was there, I would look in the clearance sections at sheets since the size would be right. I found this xl duvet cover for $12.48 (50% off)!



It has all my colors in it and as a bonus, it already has buttons and the majority of it sewn. Id just need to fit it to my pillows. Perfect! I bought it, but wasn't sure which print I liked the best. When I got home, I showed the hubster and he liked the duvet print better. So that's what I went with.

I started to measure out how much I'd need to shorten it when the dogs jumped me.




Looks like the girls approve if their new bed.




I'll be borrowing my coworker's sewing machine tomorrow. I hope it turns out. I'm pretty excited about it.

Fall Ball

I'm at Wittenburg University today for a handful of games for a playday. It'll be nice to get back into the swing of things. All these new rule changes will be tough especially switching between us lacrosse and NCAA. I hope today goes well. Will report back later, but for now, time to hit the road.

Brrrrr

It's cold this weekend. The hubster talked me into turning the heat on. Boooo, I was hoping to keep it off until November. Just put more clothes on. Too cold in the winter, too hot in the winter. Never just right. I'm enjoying the warmth, but won't enjoy the bill next month. :(
