Last night Ralph + Penny became friends!!
Now they just lounge around the house together–SO. CUTE.
I figured out the secret to “building IKEA“–a RUBBER MALLET.
I borrowed one + had the bookshelf together in no time + it turned out beautiful!!!!
So beautiful that I had to go back + buy the rest of the EXPEDIT series.
I was meandering through the store when I had a feeling that I should go check out the AS IS section RIGHT THEN. So I did–AND I found BOTH of the pieces that I wanted in the COLOURS that I wanted!! Already built + I saved $70!!
AND it only took thirty minutes to figure out how to get them into the car- ha. ha. ha. The little loader guy was not pleased with my choice of vehicle for my purchases.
He also asked me what kind of dog I had–In his mouth. I guess he got a little taste of Penny fur!!
The pieces went in after a little disassembling + with the use of the sunroof!!
I had GREAT visibility on the ride home.. not. (please excuse the dog hair)
The furniture MURDERED my back seat–However,I did not have to do much assembly to the furniture + I don’t ride in my back seat often.. So- I don’t see it as a problem.
Sugar Plums!!
Run to TJs + get you some!! They are DELISH!!
$1.99 for a pound!!
The room is finally coming together..
Once it is all beautified (ie:when I find a brown bedskirt + get better lights) I’ll post “funner”pics–
In the moving process I found this LOVELY tea that PETUNIA sent me a hott minute ago.
It was SO. DELICIOUS. and reminded me a lot of the AVEDA tea.. naturally sweet.
THANKS PETUNIA!!
OH. DINNER. I want to eat you all over again.
I sauteed spinach + tomato + basil + onion + salt + cayenne pepper together + topped it with fresh bell pepper + two medium over easy eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE COOKING. How on earth did I go TWO weeks without doing it??
Colour Dilemma–
On the left is the current blue- in the middle is the possible future blue- on the right is the laundry room-
the little blue card is another possibility —what do you think???
I know what I think!!
I turned into a little adventurous dessert monster.
I was just going to have one of these guys (delicious)–
Then I decided it would be much more fun to sautee blueberries in almond milk and then top it with one of the little raspberry vanilla bars + then top that with kelsey granola.
WOW. It was so delicious–It was about all of the excitement I could handle on a Friday night!!
I’m going to watch TRUE BLOOD + stay up way past my nonexistent bedtime!!
I will resume with the vacation blogging -days 5+6+7- on Monday!!
Cheers!

Hurray for Ralph &Penny!
Those TJ’s raspberry &vanilla bars look pretty tasty. You get the coolest stuff at that store.
What are those colour choices for?
I like the middle blue best. Love the bedroom so far! and that coffee mug is gorgeous!
I like the middle blue the best.
And I love Yogi Tea. So expensive where I live though.
I love Ikea!!! That’s the bookcase I want! I have that desk already!
So exciting about your ikea purchases! Glad you figured out a way to get them home
Those raspberry + vanilla ice cream bars look delish.
Those Ikea finds are great! I love a good deal.
My vote is the middle blue. It seems calming yet vibrant.
I’m heading to TJ’s today!!!! I will be looking for these raspberry bars but I must say,your method of eating them is sensational! Who eats ice cream on a stick anymore? SO boring!
Have a great weekend girl. (PS,check out my giveaway!)
Oh IKEA,how I love thee…when you go back,get yourself some Daim candy,its fantastic!
Your room came out Amazing! Love it. I like both of those blues the card one being a little intense,but could be really fun.
Oh and RASPBERRY VANILLA CREAM BARS and TRUE BLOOD —thumbs up!!!!!!!!
Love that the pets are all getting along! Your new bedroom is looking great,and my vote is for the new middle blue color that you painted on the wall. Dessert = awesome!
I love the one on the card…I have always dreamed of a “tiffany’s box blue”room! Saw it once and it was intense but beautiful!
i’m liking the middle blue too…seems really restful. i like them all,really,but for a bedroom the middle one seems best.
Oh my gosh…AVEDA TEA! I had it once at my professor’s house. It was love at first site. Then I went to the store and saw that I would have to sell my organs to purchase it
I’ve been thinking about it ever since. I’ll have to try this one!
The room looks nice and relaxing
I love all the blues equally,but like the swatch the best. The more aqua,the better!!! And finally,TRUE BLOOD! My latest obsession. Soo good.
Haha,I’m so glad the other two roommates are starting to get along. I’d say go with whatever your gut feeling is about the color. You’re going to have to live with it,so make sure it’s one you like and aren’t going to get tired of. Loving the room so far!
That dessert looks pretty darn good! I wish I lived next to a TJs! Go with the new blue in the middle!
Your tea mug is so supa pretty!
I like the 1st blue. The 2nd one is too green,IMO.
Those plums look good,but I just got Safeway peaches for only $1.49/lb! Amazing sale. I do want to try those TJ bars though. I’ve also got to go to Ikea for when I move into my new house!
trueblood!!!!! watched the 4 episodes of season 2 this weekend…and i’m hooked,yet so confused!!! I’ll get around to season 1 eventually….hahahha,until then,i’ll just ask for lots of clarification from my brothers!!
your dessert looks deliciousssss.
LOvE your room!!!!! Cam I come visit you and penny this week?
Just recently saw those bars at TJs and got the mango ones –they are awesome!!
I contemplated buying those raspberry and cream bars at TJ’s today! Thanks for the review of the tea. I LOVE Aveda tea,but hate the $14 per box. I will give the Yogi one a try.
