Sarah pointed out that I probably need a china hutch or curio cabinet for all my new China. I need one that is not very big and not very expensive. I have money saved, but I am likely to need it in the next year for my mortgage payments (blech). Any ideas for pieces of [...]

So Sarah and my mom came and helped me decorate my room. My mom is going to get me dowels for one more wall hanging, and maybe some caps for them too. And then my room will be done. I need to think about how I’m going to group things and there’s a couple of [...]

I want to buy a hammock so I can enjoy my porch before the summer is over. I’m looking at this one: www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?page=proframe&prod_id=744682

So, [...]

Too bad the effects only lasted for a couple of days. I especially had a loverly time with Nomi, Renu, and Kim. Especially on the ferry on the way [...]
