Brenda & The Boys

Here are the photos of my latest flip. I got these two tables from my SIL. I had been looking for a sofa table to use in my kitchen as a buffet table and had been wanting to change out my coffee table which was really a trunk. When she got new tables I jumped on it and asked her if I could have them. She said yes! Thanks, Jenny! I took the tables and gave them a litte makeover. Both were a light wood. Pine I think. I took the sofa table and spray painted it black. In Feburary, I took my natural wood kitchen table and painted the chairs and table legs black and stained the top walnut. See the link below to see the before/afters of that project. So, I took the sofa table and painted it black to match my new/old kitchen table. http://brendaandtheboys.blogspot.com/2010/02/in-2010-continued-and-bunch-of-before.html The coffee table was also a pine color. Like I said I had a trunk that I used as a coffee table. I had been wanting to find and buy a coffee table to switch out for a while n...

This is a little dialog Matt and I had upon entering the Dr's office a bit ago. Matt: Hey, mom. Me: Yes, Matt? Matt: Can I have your lollipop at the end if you get one? From his mouth to my keyboard. :) Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®

Remember...a layer of dust protects the Wood beneath it. 'A house becomes a home when you can write 'I love you' on the furniture.' I used to spend at least 8 hours every weekend making sure things were just perfect 'in case someone came over' Finally I realized one day, that no-one came over; they were all out living life and having fun! NOW, when people visit, I don't have to explain the 'condition' of my home They are more interested in hearing about the things I've been doing while I was away living life and having fun. If you haven't figured this out yet, please heed this advice. Life is short. Enjoy it! Dust if you must ........ but wouldn't it be better to paint a picture or write a letter, bake cookies or a cake and lick the spoon or plant a seed, It is time to ponder the difference between want and need !!! Dust if you must, but there's not all THAT much time . . .. .. ...rivers to swim and mountains to clim...

Kristi at Adventures of MommyGirl , asked me to answer the following questions. She was asked/tagged by a fellow blogger to answer eight questions. Once Mommygirl had answered her 8 then she decided to pass on her own 8 questions to a few of her readers/blogger friends. Me included. So here goes. I am gonna answer Kristi's 8 questions. Oh, by the way Adventures of MommyGirl is one of my favorites blogs! I super heart reading AOMG s blog. Sometimes I think she is reading my mind with the things she posts. Love it. Love her. Check it out!! 1. You have 30 minutes to yourself. What do you do? I play Words with Friends on my iPad, watch something on the DVR, or Facebook...hide. 2. What is your favorite book right now? (Or author!) Ugh. My mind is blank. Sadly, I cannot tell you how long it has been since I read a book. The things I read are People mag in the car line. I miss books. 3. If you could vacation anywhere in Texas on someone else's dime, where would you go? "I...

Life is short. LOL everday! It does a body good. I LOLed a lot today! Thanks part to the mom at Target that shared an embarassing/funny moment with me and TG. We walked up in line right behind her as she had just discovered that her yoga pants had been on inside out the whole morning. She recounted all the places she had been with her pants inside out. We too shared our stories of our own clothes mishaps in the past. We all had a good laugh! It is always nice to know that you are not the only one having "one of those days". Have you laughed today? Even if it is at yourself?! http://stress.about.com/od/stresshealth/a/laughter.htm

Matt: Mom. Me: What? Matt: Wouldn't it be cool if we were ducks? Me: Ducks? Matt: Yeah, so we could quack all day. Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®
