Anybody see the performance on SNL last Saturday…. An artist named Lana del ray… She has such an interesting voice. A LOT of people are coming out saying how boring and awful she is. I kind of like seeing someone with a unique voice and not a pop singer on auto tune….. just sharing... Ive also been on a Florance and the Machine kit lately so thats probably why I like this. Enjoy!

Eight Fears
1. Our house burning down while we are away on vacation. Always breath a sigh of relief when we turn the corner and everything looks fine. lol.
2. Flying. Part a control issue, part a fear of heights/falling.
3. Losing my husband to a sickness/accident.
4. Taylor/Dallas running away, or getting hit by a car.
5. Burglar hiding in my shower. lol, I always check behind the shower curtain when I go in our bathroom.
6. Having a child with a major illness such as cancer.
7. Dutch or I losing our jobs and going back into the "Morgan Recession"
8. Snakes. Enough said.

NYC Part I
Whew.....
What a whirlwind trip to NYC this past weekend.
I flew out Friday afternoon landing in NYC at 3pm. Alicia's aunt picked me up and dropped Alicia and I at the subway stop in Queens. We then were able to ride all the way into the city and to Alicia's stop. I knew having a suitcase on the subway would not be that much fun but failed to realize that subways are underground.... duh and sometimes 3-4 flights of stairs until you reach the train platform... yikes... and you don't really want to touch the railings ...haha.
We got into Alicias apt (a 4th floor walk up) and were able to relax. Her apt. is awesome. She even has a skylight in her room and a spiral stair case. We went out to dinner that night just a few blocks away at Il Bagatto. We drank champagne over candlelight, enjoyed fresh pasta and chocolate mousse cake... yummo. Definitely hit the spot after a long day of traveling.
That night we grabbed some bottles of wine from a market down the street and stayed up to late catching up and laughing. Basically #1 requirement for this trip.... lol.... and it was just like the good times we've had at the "Best Bar in Town" east cobb location.....
Check back for Part II - Saturday

Ten Secrets
I've seen a lot of bloggers doing this lately, so I thought I would join in on the fun!
Day 1: 10 Secrets
9. I have never or will never go to Taco Bell.
8. I love shopping (clothing/groceries/etc) ALONE. : ) No offense. I dont like people hovering over me if its in a store (at the mall) they arent interested in. Or giving the stink face when I pull out a top to look out. lol. Alicia is the only exception to this. We like the same stores and the same way of shopping. Maybe Ive just had bad experiences.
7. It makes me crazy when people ask me "decorator questions" or ask how long I have been a "decorator". Or did I really have to go to school to become a "decorator". IM A DESIGNER PEOPLE! lol : )
6. I am on the 4th paint color in our office. (over the past 5 years) I think its my never ending design mind that always sees a better way to do things in there. And its such a random space It could be so many things. Guest room/office/tv room/gym/playroom/craft area/etc. I cant commit. Currently LOVING my black and white stripes and white chair rail but trying to make sure Im 100% on the peacock blue. (i think its because I havent painted the opposite wall with the blue yet so options are still open! ugh)
5. I wish my life was exactly how it is. (great family/husband/job/house/yard/safe area to live/weather) but located in Austin Texas.
4. Sometimes I think I like to plan things more than I actually enjoy the event.
3. Im a RSVP stalker.
2. I have road rage. If you stop for a school bus at a divided highway, or I need to turn right and you wont scoot up the 1" necessary for me to get by , and make a right. Or you go 10 mph below the speed limit.... I will give you the stink face.
1. I hate our yard. With a passion. and hate that people have to see it all overgrown. I feel like were "that house". Last weekend I pulled up all the ivy/crap by our kitchen window. I found a bakers rack under the ivy that I cleaned up and spray painted glossy black (duh. lol) and am going to put it in our kitchen to store cook books/etc. Found info online about clearing an area, putting down newspapers, then mulch over it. Will help weeds/crazy crap from coming up. I hope to get it to a point soon where the front is clear and mulched and a clean starting point.

Weekend wrap up
Dutch and I had a great weekend as always.
Friday my Dad/Cheryl/Pman went to the Braves game to see Bobby Cox's jersey be retired. It was awesome. The crowd was so pumped up. It was great to see lots of past braves players come out to support Bobby. I got to see David Justice and Javy Lopez (who I definitely thought were hot when I was probably in middle school.. lol) Dan Uggla beat the Braves record for a 32 game hitting streak. There were at least 5 home runs hit that night, a pitcher was thrown out of the game, and the braves cleared the benches at one point. Pretty awesome game.
Saturday Dutch and I had free Moe's burritos (if a certain braves player hits a home run in a certain inning everyone gets a free burrito with their ticket stub) Dutch picked up a brisket from our favorite butcher and we went to our favorite hang out, Wild Wings. They were having a coney island festival (they have a different festival each month all summer) They had a freak show which I could only watch for about 3 minutes. It was making me nauseous. The guy was hammering long steaks in his nose.... gross.... not entertaining. Still have the heebie-gebbies on that one. We hung out the rest of the night listing to music, eating buffalo chips, and people watching. Always a great place to kick back.
Sunday was the traditional WAHO, and brisket smoking. This one was the best one yet. Super juicy and yummy..... cant wait to take some for lunch tomorrow.
Wild Wings Bufflo Chips...yumm
Now time to finish laundry and get ready for bed. Back to the grind!

Office makeover
Well I was busy making over our office.....
Decided I needed a black and white striped wall. Its one of my favorite places in our house now.... loving it....
Painted side long walls peacock blue with a white chair rail below. Created a gallery wall with white frames and white mats to offset the deep peacock blue color. I love seeing my favorite people and some of my photography framed.
Also, repurposed an old dresser into a bar space. For glassware display/bar storage etc. I need to update the hardware for a quick fix I repurposed an old framed print that was UGLY by painting the frame white and the mat white. Then I got a new print (on clearance) from Michales and replaced the old print. I had a new framed piece of art for less than 5.00!
Still finishing a few projects in the space. Then Ill share some larger photos of the room.
Enjoy!
