saturdays

shopping
endlessly for beds and sofas and end tables and console tables and dining tables and dining chairs and occasional chairs and counter chairs (unwiggly ones for restless homework butts) and not finding ANYTHING i like (gawd i'm fussy with a list of must.haves and must.not.haves a mile long... clean and modern but not too modern is very hard to find in furniture :|  i miss Habitat.  and John Lewis.  and Marks and Spencer :(

going
to the beach tomorrow.  even if it's cold (she lied)  noooo, even if it's frrrreezing!  and the Atlantic Spice Co, my most favorite Cape store ever for pretty kitchen wares for the new home (be still my heart, i loooove that store and it makes me feel like Martha Stewart, only a much less demanding person ;)

needing
to spend my 20% off your entire purchase Christmas Tree Shops coupon which expires tomorrow!!  if i buy nothing else, i'm buying huge starfish and Portuguese English muffins and lame St Patrick's day decor :)

also needing
to return Danny's new cub scout application for the new town we are moving to that's full of cub scouts - huuuuuuuge sigh of relief: he's been soooo lost without a bunch of friends to hang out with (me too... please make everyone be nice!!)

hoping
Danny's next classroom is nutty.... he is in a "tree nut free classroom" right now and i haven't been able to make cupcakes or cookies or anything for school. it's been AWFUL :(     

wondering
if it's allowed to wear a rainbow scarf if you're not a lesbian (sorry if Too Much Information ;)  i saw a reaaaaally cute happy scarf but i don't want people rolling their eyes thinking i'm a wannabe lesbian - i just want that bright and happy scarf and to be warm!

 already dressing it with my eyes for the holidays :)
