Just to send it on down the line....................

I'm like a human assembly line right now - they're coming in - getting painted - being sent down the line as a new one rolls in.

I just finished this -  you're only getting sneak peaks today - because I plan to get a lot of blog mileage
out of these lol


Which originally looked like this




I'm working on this - sorry for the quality of the photo - it's the seller's - and I've finally found someone who takes worse photos than me YAY - this is in pretty rough shape - but some real magic is happening.


( back to my Paris Grey and White Chalk Paint as you can tell lol )


I have a gorgeous dresser waiting in the van - can't find a photo

I'm picking this up tomorrow - no chairs - no extra leafs - but check out those legs!!!
Monica - if you're reading -  for your new house?


I sent an inquiry on the below desk - it was available - told them I'd pick it up the next day
When I sent a confirmation email that we were coming - they replied it had been sold in the meantime,
Don't you think if I had first dibs on it - they could have at least let me know?
What's the Craig's list protocol on this...............very very upset.


but I have a back up desk I'm working on here -



In the meantime - this set has become available ( huge argument going on around here about this - but I know - I just know I need to have it ) what do you think?

2 end tables


a ladies dresser


with mirror ( although the mirrors don't sell - I have a ton of them actually - if anyone needs a mirror )


But this next part I know you'll " get " - more than John ever will


I mean come on now, is that gorgeous or what?
Can you see the potential in it?
Would you have to have it?
Would it be worth the arguing that lasted for an hour?
Would it be worth the silent treatment he's now instilled on me?
YUP - I would think so
( actually it would be worth it just for the silent treatment alone now that I think of it lol )

"I work a 40 hour week for a living - just to send it on down the line..................."

Does anyone know that song?
One of my favorite bands - I used to BLAST this song constantly.................
If any of you get the band right - you can have the mirror LOL

Ok the break bell just sounded - time to get back to work
Have a good one!

A Christian Couple - A Gay son.......

A story of deeply devout Christians parents of a Gay son.
For anyone out there who is struggling with Gay Marriage - please please please
take a moment to listen to the parents of a Gay son - who used their faith to try
to " heal " him - and once he was gone - used their faith to understand.

No matter which side of the fence you sit on - one fact stands out above all else - Life is short - sometimes it's far far too short - some lives are filled with grief and despair - to think we, as a society, contribute to that is just unbearable for me.
It's a global issue it seems - people are either FOR or AGAINST - but we're mere mortals - we are not kings and judges and almighty Beings and although I know that no one actually means harm in their opinions  harm is done.................irrevocably in some cases.
Sometimes by strangers who have no idea what it's like to walk in another's shoes - sometimes by family and close friends - and all too often by parents - unknowingly.
This is as real a video as you're ever going to see -
I know most of you enough to know that you will be heartbroken by it - but I think it's important to watch.

Ryan's parent's message is a message that needs to be heard - please take some time out of your busy day to listen to their voices....................

Whatever your thoughts are - you cannot be unaffected by this and we owe it to
ourselves - to the Gay community and to a young man's eloquent
parents  to listen to this story - but mostly we owe it to:

Ryan Robertson - passed away July 10 - 2009 at age 20
Gone too soon.




And above all - let us be reminded to love unconditionally...................................
EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. OF. OUR. LIVES.
Just because they breathe.....................
