i get to see her this weekend:

and no, not at my local strip club.

(i don't even know where my local strip club is.

and i don't know why i am referring to it as

"my" local strip club. haha)

she's coming to visit!!!

with K.L.!

here's the man in her life:

and again:

ok, so he doesn't really have a mullet. (unfortch)

BUT, he sure loves that dang wig!

here's a normal picture:

they are my favs.

EVERYTHING MUST GO!

there is this little thrift shop down the street off ross. there is a huge sign

out front with the above title. 

my little chirp (amanda)  found this absolutely ridiculously amazingly

showstopping antler table - for like $40.

seriously, folks. these things retail for about 1G. that's 1,000 big ones.

here's the before:

and...then....

she painted it white!

with its apothecary-ish jar.

just faboo.

lesson learned and the wheels keep turning - the killers

behold, the latest video from the killers, "the world we live in". brandon flowers is hot,

per usual and he is smiling more than he normally does. the scenery is nice, but it's fairly

lazy for the most part. however, there is a nice "vegas vacation"/clark griswold

reference towards the end. (i think.) hoover dam, anyone?

hopefully this won't get kicked off youtube in the next 10 minutes. if so, i will hunt it down and re-post.

new patio chairs!

they are baby blue (!) and authentically retro.

the table is coming next weekend. boo ya!
