Things That Make Me Smile...

Some sweet new lighting we picked up from a recent Ikea trip.

My mother-in-law gave me these for Easter. They appear to be thriving in my care. For now...

Found this little tin at a thrift store for $1. Adorbs.

Awkward foot shot. Many moons ago when I wasn't preoccupied chasing an 11month old, I used to change my toe nail color every week. Religiously. With Summer coming I'm trying to get back in the habit so I can confidently step out in cute sandals.

Current home improvement project. I cannot accurately express how stoked I am about this.

Needs no words.

So the diagnosis for my computer was that the hardrive is shot and there's something wrong with the screen which may or may not be related to the latter issue. Humph. The nice nerdy guy at the Apple store said it would cost a hundred and sixty bucks for them to fix the hardrive to which I politely said "yeah no that's okay" and dashed out before Toby could spill the contents of his sippy cup all over the place. Derek is awesome and has been working to remedy the situation for me so hopefully *squints eyes really hard and clasps hands in fervent prayer* I will have my beloved laptop back in working order soon. I hope.

Verizon sent me a new phone, a blessing and a curse. It transferred all the basics like my contacts, but since it's a new phone it didn't transfer over the apps from my old phone and I'm smartphone illiterate so it's taking me a while to get everything in order. Oh the hardships of the 21st century.
