to buy or not to buy...

Hey all.

Hope this week has treated you wonderfully thus far :)

mine has been great minus one little annoyance..

I cant seem to eat any food without feeling absolutely dreadful afterwards.

I think its my gall bladder...

(or lack thereof)

(i have no gallbladder!) :)

Anyways...

this week has been full of planning out my new apartment!

** so stinkin' fun **

and planning out my new BUDGET...

** not so stinkin' fun **

but its good :)

I have a picture in my mind of every room and how I want it to look and I have realized something..

I love green.

olive green, bright green, irish green, siege green...

GREEN green GrEen GREEN!!!

I really like this color.

I may have an all green apartment.

and thats perfectly fine.. because..

its mine! :)

hehe

I started my first apartment project this week..

allow me to explain :)

I was given t

wo end tables, a coffee table and a sofa table from a lovely family.

its a nice "set" and it was very nice of them to give it to me..

however.. its wood.... not "espresso" wood... but more.... blonde.

This does not match the tan/green/dark gray color scheme I have pictured in my mind for my living room...

so.. I painted :)

Check it out my people:

I'm happy with the results :)

now onto the next dilemma...

minus the fact that I still have no dining room table..

ugh, if I could just go buy any dining room table I wanted... I would probably get this one:

simple. adorable.. and 500 dollars.

UGH.

looks like I'll be thrift store shopping.

BUT WAIT-- i have been thrift store shopping... and have I found a dining room set?

noooope.

it will all work out Brooke.

you WILL get a table and chairs.

You will be able to have dinner at a table.

This will happen.

I hope. :)

ON my final note for the evening:

I have a new addiction:

food blogs.

I am dreaming of the dinners I will make for myself and my guests!

tonight i made grilled chicken with spinach and mozzarella with roasted red peppers.

yumm-o baby.

(and some whole wheat pasta with some organic and AMAZING sauce)

bon-appetite! :)

Please feel free to come by anytime in about a month or so and I'll cook you dinner..

...... but we may have to sit on the floor :(
