Hooty and the Couch Pillow

My cousin is very crafty and is in the works to make me a custom owl pillow for my big couch!

I have been quite the pain (I apologize) in regards to color and if she doesn't kill me or delete me from her Facebook friend list, I will end up with a really awesome, one of a kind pillow for my naked couch corner.

If you like owls (or oh so cute zombie dolls) I suggest you check her out and buy yourself some shit! http://www.etsy.com/shop/studiocalvin?ref=top_trail

Here are the current owls that are available. (She has different sizes and no two are alike.) I will show you mine once it is here perched on my couch.

Calms FortéTM Tablets

Worked wonders on my old dog

5out of 5

Pros: Works Quickly, Good Value, Relieves Stress

Best Uses: Before Sleep

Describe Yourself: Regular User

I know the company can't recommend this for dogs...but I am using it on my old dog that is getting dementia and it is a life saver!
My dog started pacing at night, waking up repeatedly, and was just all around anxious at night. I read about this product on another blog and gave it a try on him...and it WORKS!
I give him 2 pills at 9 each night and he now sleeps all night long!

I LOVE This Rug

This may be the best purchase EVER!
Unbelievably thick and soft.
Great color.
Matches description from the website perfectly.
Five stars.
Two thumbs up.
I LOVE IT!!!

Now I just need to lower the artwork that's behind the couch, get some colorful pillows and hang curtains and the living room will be D-O-N-E!

Winston loves it too. He won't get off of it. Thank You www.overstock.com

ZEBRA

How long have I been going on and on and on about wanting a zebra rug? Hmmmmmm...a really long time. I thought I wanted a black and white one until I saw one up close and realized that the white part wouldn't stay white for very long in my place....so I pretty much figured I would never own a zebra rug. Until today......ok..actually until four days ago when I spotted a nice brown and tan one on overstock.com. I stared at it on and off and ended up waiting until this morning to actually buy it.

The price went up while I was procrastinating for those four days....so I almost didn't buy it but it got wonderful reviews so I took a deep breath, hit the "add to cart" button and bought the sucker.

I do not like to buy things online....so this was a big deal for me. I like to feel things, hold things, really check things out in person, so I am a bit anxious about my purchase.

I can't wait for the rug to get here. After several years of wanting a zebra rug....I will finally have one.

Pretty!

For The Shady Side Of My Patio

For now it will stay white. Later on, it will get sanded down and painted a new color or maybe I will keep it white and add some snazzy pillows. Until then, it will be enjoyed by me, myself, and I and my evening cocktail.

I search craigslist everyday! This cost me $75.00 and it took me three weeks of daily searching to find it. Everyone else, that had patio furniture for sale, seemed to think that people were willing to pay several hundreds of dollars for their used shit!

Word of advise...if you are buying on craigslist, don't pay over $100. If you are selling on craigslist...don't list your shit for over $100.00

Peace!

The Winner Wasn't The Winner & Cat Pee

So...the couch we bought went back after two full days of trying to sit on it.
WHY you ask?
Because as pretty as it was to look at it, it was like trying to get comfortable on a 2 x 4.
The back was too low and no matter who much we fluffed the pillows...we just couldn't get them right.

I didn't mind returning it but I did mind paying a 20% restocking fee. Urban Home can kiss my pasty white ass.

Anyhoooooo...I ended up buying the first couch that we had selected. I guess I just like to torture myself and try 15 other ones before I go back to my first choice.

I have no photos of the couch right now because for the last two weeks we have not even been able to enjoy living in this unit thanks to the ongoing battle I like to call, "Cat Urine Eradication from Hell".

New carpet and padding were put down AFTER we had already moved in but they FAILED to clean and/or seal the concrete floors which soaked up all that yummy odor. So after one full week of my bitching and complaining (and calling corporate) they came back and pulled up the carpet, padding, and tack strips, then put down sealant, new tack strips and a second round of new padding & carpet. After another full week of bitching, because the smell was STILL HERE, they finally showed up this morning to prime and paint the offending walls.

FOR FUCKS SAKE I HOPE THIS ENDS THIS BULLSHIT SO I CAN GO BACK TO POSTING THINGS THAT ARE PRETTY!!!!!
