Decorative File Folders…Someone Owes Me An Apology

So I STUMBLED upon these darlings while doing my normal troll through Francesca’s.  Apparently there is a cute, funky and completely awesome way to store ugly papers on your desk.  WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME????

The pics shown are the three that I scooped up (50 cents each!!!!) and I couldn’t be more tickled looking @ my desk sporting these things.  My desk smiles back.  Links to tons of these beauts.

Sporty Spice Spring Collection, Bring On The Heat!!!

I’m ready for the sun.  Not alot of stores have gone completely tank top, sandals and shorts, but I am definitely ready for a little spring in my step.  Here are a few pieces and items that I plan on adding to my collection.

  1. Francesca’s Hoodie – if it has a hoodie, put my name on it.  These are thin and colorful.  Totally getting it.
  2. Tulle Jacket – because I like to run my AC right about 80 degrees, I will still need something to cover myself through the next few months.  Too cute.  On another note, I have also realized that I am an addict of this sites Tulle’s Day sales.  I racked in 5 nice peices for about 25.00 (including shipping).  You should defintely join their mailing list if you aren’t on it already to cash in on the saving.  Der was in on the last sale too and raked it in as well.  It’s also fun to call random days ‘Tulle’s Day’, I owe that site for that as well!
  3. Roxy Tank – because its cute.  That is all.
  4. Opi  –  Done out in Deco – I own this color already, so I am ahead of game on this one.  I love it because its a  purple nail color, but not completely offensive.  There is a very fine line there ladies.  Very fine.
  5. Old Navy Cargos – am I too old to wear these?  Probably.  Will they flatter my figure?  Most likely not.  Are they badass because they have tiny little paint splatters on them? Hellz yes.
  6. Fossil Crossbody – as long as my obession with cross body bags doesn’t turn to fanny packs, I think the tipsy girls will still dig my style.  I can’t decide if I need this one in red or pink?
  7. Simple Slippers – I’ll need these for when I feel like wearing red seude shoes.  I don’t know about ya’ll but that may just be every day for me.

Flameless candles? What the Balls?

So, we talk ALOT about what we do love on here.  So I thought I would mix it up a bit.  EVERYONE and I mean every single person on my list almost got a flameless candle for Christmas–until I thought I would test drive these things myself.

Cons:

  1. You have to insert batteries
  2. They smell like ass ok
  3. They dont give the same I love candles, romantic, hide a weird smell thats been lingering feeling.

Pros:

What do you think???

Santa Was Very Good To Me

So we know that my son is spoiled as hell, so let’s talk about Mommy.  I must have been very good this year, or my boyfriend Ben and my Mom, Mimi really know me well! Here’s a few of my favs from my stash.

cr-presents procured

  1. Cat house from Ikea.  This goes great with my decor.  It’s acting as a piece of abstract art at the moment, but I am devising plans to make my cats go kookoo for this new condo.
  2. Yurakoro Lucky Cat.  I’ll admit,  I’m a small child when it comes to gifts like these.  Of all the things I received this year, I have to say this is my favorite.  What makes this little gadget even better is when you rock it, the kitty mews just like my Siamese, which makes me laugh everytime.
  3. World Market Floor Lamp.  This was on my Tipsy Christmas list and I think Santa surely read it!  This things is gargantuan.  I am working on finding the perfect place for this in my crib, but am surely in love.
  4. Bissell Pet Vacuum. Comes fully equipped with the chamber that you can view all the nastiness that you suck in.  Hellz yes.

Crazy Cat Lady: Ornament Edition

When my TP (Tipsy Pal) AK showed these to me, I knew I had to share with all of you.  These are too cute and encompass everything about me.  Someone that is obsessed with cats and funky at the same time.

After digging a little deeper, I found the creator of these little jewels (Old World Primitives) not only has her own Etsy shop, but has a neat little unique blog as well.  Enjoy!  Or just laugh at how nuts I am.

P.S.  Lets say you aren’t as awesome as I am and want these in dogs–she’s got em!  See here.

I Made Milwaukee Famous

I <3 concerts.  I go to as many as often as I possibly can (given the schedule with a 7-year-old and work).  One band that everyone needs to check out regardless of the genre you gravitate to is What Made Milwakee Famous.  They (WMMF) are awesome and from Austin, even better!!!

My boyfriend and I got the luxury of sitting about 10 feet away from them when they played at Warehouse Live in Houston on Friday, December 11th.

Christmas List: 7-year-old BOY Edition!

Anyone want to know whats on a 7-year-old’s Christmas list…?? Here it is.

cr-atm xmas list

  1. New Super Mario Bros for Wii –  will Mommy want to play?  Mayyyybe.   Some of my favorite memories of Austin and I together have come from when I conquered SMB on Austin’s DS about a year ago.  I felt like a hero with him cheering me on 🙂
  2. Star Wars Table Top Electric Pinball – Darth Vader + Pinball = awesome.
  3. Star Wars Lego Star Wars Limited Edition X-Wing Fighter – see above.  Star Wars + Lego = awesomer.  Finding miscellaneous Rebel Alliance Lego parts all over the house for years=priceless.
  4. Pokemon Sleeping Bag – Do we go camping alot?  No.  Do we have tons of uses for a Pokemon themed sleeping bag?  Hellz yes.
  5. Blockus – strategy game that my son will love and I will hopefully master and be able to rub it in his face.  HAHAHA!  I mean Ho Ho Ho!
  6. Pokemon Puzzle – we can put this together while zipped up in #4!
  7. Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days – this is the fourth book in this series and my son has finished the three before it.  Like I always tell Austin….always read something that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it. Seriously though, this series is great, and it keeps Austin hungry to read.  Win, win.
  8. Snap on Digi Camera – Can hold up to 40 pics and its spring clip prevents it from being lost yeah right.
  9. Guess Who – does your person have hair?  does your person have glasses?  does your person have wrinkles?  Whoever that is, thats one ugly ass person.  But I love playing this game with Austin.

As a side note, Ben (my boyfriend) and I Santa may or may not have shopped at kids.woot.com this year for many of these items 🙂
