Five on Friday

One

Remember that awesome dresser I found on Craigslist? Well David thinks it is a POS (and I can't lie it kind of is). It's made out of pine and just not that awesome. So I might do a quick paint over and try to resell it for what I paid. I am so sad to say goodbye to those drawer pulls though. I think we can make it work, plus finding a small dresser on CL is hard! I still want to make it work so maybe I can change his mind.

I went to my doctor's appointment yesterday and she informed me that I passed my glucose test with "flying colors". Goodness that was good news because I was stressin'! I like candy so I am glad that I don't have to eliminate it from my cravings list! *see four

Three

I plan on braving IKEA this weekend there is a couple of little things I have my eye on so I am going to check it out. Despite my hatred for the maze store.

RENS Sheepskin
Four

Random fact: My favorite candy is JujuBees. I always feel alone on this. Anyone else a fan?

Five

Happy long weekend!! My office closes at noon and I can't wait for the warm weather and BBQ's! Have a good one!

  1. omg I am so thankful you posted the link to that rug! I have one in my cart on Etsy that it $100 that looks identical to that one. Looks like I will be making a trip to dreaded IKEA this weekend as well!

  2. I think we are the only two people on the planet that like Jujubes! Well that's not true because they still sell them. But they are, by far, my favorite candy ever! Destroy all the chocolate...just save my precious Jujubes!

  14. I wish we had an Ikea near me I so I could get one of those sheepskin rugs! I definitely want one for a baby room when all that happens. You can't buy them online! I think the dresser could work. I mean it stores clothes and it opens and closes, what more do you want?! ha ha

  15. Which Ikea will you be braving?? We are going on our brave Ikea adventure on Sunday to the one in Sac. Sucks about the dresser :( But I'm sure with your creativity, baby girl will have something even cuter ;)

  16. Yeah for passing your test!!!! Bring on the sweets! I love swedish fish which is kinda in that same category of odd chewy candy like that ;-)

  17. Since having my son I discovered the inside loop in IKEA (maybe everyone already knew this). If you go to the middle (where the elevators usually are) you can travel around a small circle that has each department labeled. It makes it SO much more manageable with a little one especially when you have a list of what you want to get. I am guessing all IKEAs are built in a similar way. Good luck:).

  21. Oh my word - you and my husband are the ONLY people I know who like jujubes. His grooms cake at our wedding was a green jujubes box. We have a couple of those IKEA rugs and love them - hope you snagged a few!
