My new favorite room

I have been wanting a new washer and dryer since the day we decided to buy our house, but there was no good reason, until recently. The washer started to dance around the laundry room a lot more, knocking things over and making all kinds of crazy noises. But the thing that really pushed me to the edge was the washer door wouldn't stay open and always when I was transferring the laundry to the dryer... and bang, I'd get bonked on the head reaching into the machine. So out with the old and in with the new, but before we got bring the new in, we had to redo the laundry room.

The laundry room, before the redo:

 With cabinets removed

 and machines removed

 blissfully empty!

 repainted and ready for new cabinets

 new cabinets up
(short a knob because I bought the wrong one at Home Depot)

 and... Presto! done and done

We got our machines at hhgregg in Lawrenceville, NJ. Next post will be on the hhgregg experience. Do you have new favorite room in your house and why?

Draw Something ... then you've got Something Drawn

The hubby and I are a little bit obsessed or rather "enjoying" the OMGPOP game, Draw Something. I don't have a proper device (I have a Blackberry) so I grab hubby's phone to play whenever I have the chance.

Anyhow, after we played a bunch of games we started saving screenshots and emailing them around. Realizing email was not the best way to share the impressiveness of Draw Something artwork, hubby created SomethingDrawn to showcase the fancy artwork of Draw Something players. Beyond the artwork, contributors can earn badges for their submissions and rate the drawings posted.

Here's my favorite of my drawings:

What to do...

It's been quite a few months since my last post and honestly I am not quite sure what to do with this blog anymore. It's so much easier to post to Facebook little musings and such but also I feel the blog allows me to write more and express myself more, but I honestly just don't feel like I have the time or energy.

I've thought about refocusing the theme of the blog but again it comes down to if it's something I want to spend my time doing. I've thought about revolving the theme around fashion (which I love more than my wallet can handle) but then I don't know if I have enough to say about fashion to fill a blog... and do I want to have published evidence of my shopping habits for my husband to see. He never says anything and he's our official UPS greeter so maybe it'll be fine.

So I guess to try and start this whole blog thing up again, I'll kick off the fashion aspect with my latest fashion find...

A Jason Wu for Target skirt for just under $9!

I was at Target last weekend getting the mundane and on sale paper towels and toilet paper when I decided I couldn't resist the clearance racks. I went through the racks one item at a time and first found an adorable Jason Wu top that was marked down but so NOT my size. So I soldiered on and came across this gem but was wary of the size (marked 4) so I headed to the dressing room with my fingers crossed. It fit and when I did a price check it came up around $8.98. It's available online for a more than double.

I wore it to work this past week with a cream tank and black blazer and received a few compliments on the skirt. The skirt is pretty well made and should be easy to wash at home if you hand wash or wash on gentle and hang dry to preserve the pleating.

Time to get ready for a darling baby's Baptism. Happy Sunday.
