annndddd. it's outta here!

8year old desk, vintage computer, beat up computer chair that didn't match one damn thing are finally gone! i didn't get everything done as i wanted.. as usual. but we did get the big stuff out.. either in storage, goodwill, or the trash. we still have a lot to do today. we have to deep clean the "corner". it's really gross.. nasty gross.. so gross i don't even want my cats to set a foot on it. david and i decided in order to put the rocker there, without feeling gross, we would need to get a rug to lay in the corner. and that is where our rug drama rama began!

i wanted to go over to target yesterday evening just to "look" at what they had.. i don't want to spend a load of money on a nice rug for our tiny apartment. i would rather measure and pay for a good rug when we get a house. i wasn't really planning on buying a rug last night. after viewing them for a few mins david said, "we're getting one". he picked out this nice 100% cotton rug.. nice but didn't really match our living room. i am sick of things not matching.. i did see some shag rugs.. i love shag rugs.. maybe it's the fact our carpet sucks (i am a wood floor girl myself) but i love soft fluffy things. they were affordable.. david thinks they look cheap.. not walmart cheap but cheap.. one thing i wasn't too pleased with is the fact they are made out of nylon.. david was persistent in getting a rug last night.. so without better judgement we got two new rugs for our living room.. the cheap shag rugs. ($100 for both). "at least they are machine washable" was my thought.

something about me buying the rugs without really looking at other places bothered me.. i ended up doing some research and found something called a flokati rug. they are made out of 100% wool and are machine washable. not too expensive.. i tried talking david into letting me take back my fake target shag (flokati look-alike) rug and buying the real stuff.. we are looking at $140 more for the real stuff (not really top quality. top quality flokati rugs can easily reach $1000) and to be honest.. the two rugs we have.. the sizes, don't really fit our living room very well.. so.. david thinks it's best to wait until we have a house.. where we can get a more accurate size that actually fits in the room. perhaps even get the better quality flokati and not settling for a cheaper quality real flokati.. he wins.. deep down i know he is right.. the cheap target fake flokati shag rugs are better than what we have anyway. besides they probably won't be used for more than a year. so there you have it.. we have two new (cheap fake) rugs.. i just pray the cats don't puke a huge ass hairball on them. 

we have a lot of work cut out for us today. our desk is gone and we have no where to store our office crap lmao.. nothing my beloved containerstore couldn't solve. so much to get still.. my list of DIY sewing projects is getting longer by the hour! the project craft bug has bitten me hard and i can't wait to start sewing stuff again.

i want to share a dream.. it's been awhile since i have had a weird pregnancy dream. last night i dreamed that i had ashton.. i waited a WHOLE DAY to feed him his first food and change his diaper. how bad of a parent does that make me?! i plan on breast feeding (in real life) and i gave my baby a bottle instead! then my little cute ashton turned into a cat (wtf.. i mean this has happened to me more than once in my dreams.. why do all my kids turn into cats?!) where i had to force him to poo and pee like the mother cats do with their young ones. it was so bizarre. i woke up to ashton kicking the crap out of me and feeling guilty that i gave him formula on his first day and felt like a huge failure for not breast feeding! lmao.
