Throwback Thursday: A Walk Down Musical Memory Lane

      Last week when I got in the truck to go to work, my mom had a musical 'treat for me.' I opened the door a sweet melody filled my ears. As the chords of the chorus hit my ear drums I  immediately became 10 years old again.

The Great Coffee Table Hunt

      I have finally made a decision on a piece of furniture for my living room. A coffee table. Maybe at some point I will get the ottoman that matches my sectional, but for now, ain't nobody got time for that! Now comes the real problem with deciding on the furniture piece.... Which coffee table do I want?

The Great Living Room Fiasco

      When I first moved into my apartment, I knew that furnishing it and decorating it the way I wanted would be a slow process. But I never thought the reason for it would be that I didn't KNOW what I wanted in the space. Yes, I have an idea of what I want it to look like, but like I said in my previous post about my apartment, New Apartment: Clean Slate or Anxiety Attack, I really have no idea what I want the space to look like. Here's what I have in my living room now:

Carbonation Free for 4 Months!

      On March 12, 2013 I put the bottle down and had my last sip of carbonated beverage. It had originally started as a pact with a co-worker and friend. We were each buying at least one soda per day at work. And at $1.25 per bottle, that's $6.25 per week just on soda! Now, I was able to swallow the cost of soda per week because I needed it. I was addicted. If I didn't have at least one soda per day, I was miserable to be around. I was tired and sluggish and if I closed my eyes long enough, I could probably have fallen asleep sitting up at my desk. Not cool.

New Apartment: Clean Slate or Anxiety Attack

      For most people having their first place or a new place is exciting because they can finally put their style to work in a place that belongs to them. That's how I felt when I moved into my apartment back in April. My mind was full of ideas. “I'm going to have this and this and this.” “I'm going to put this here and that there.” “This room is going to be these colors.” Fast forward 4 months... None of that has happened. Sure, I have my white sectional and black dinning set but that's all. Why you ask?
