SPOILED.

I wake up early, get ready for work, eat breakfast, and pack my lunch, but this morning something is missing. Chubbs is always right by my feet in the morning to go for a walk. But no Chubbs this morning. 

A little worried after 30 minutes when he's still not by my side, I walk back into the bedroom to check on him and find this:

No, he wasn't hurt or sick, just lazy and a little too comfy!

I had to bribe him with cookies to get him out of MY bed and outside to go to the bathroom.

The boy is spoiled.

And it might just be because his mom thinks he's the cutest little big guy there ever was.

ON THE ROAD, AGAIN.

There's this boy I met a year-and-a-half ago that I've fallen head-over-heels for. I wish I could say you all know him, some of you do, but many of you do not yet. The downside of moving all over the place: friends are so scattered. Don't worry, the day will come! (I already have visions of a summer trip to Austin/Dallas in my head...and you other transplants ::ehem, kelli, ehem:: you're on the list too...might just take a little bit longer.)

I digress.

Back to the point at hand. This boyfriend of mine, Pete, actually took a job opportunity outside the state of Pennsylvania in February, and although we've been talking about it for quite a while, everything has recently been falling into place, so here I go! Packing up the house, the dog, the cat and moving to...

GEORGIA!

(in my best Paula Dean Southern accent)

Can you believe it?? (Don't answer that...)

June 14th is the big day; we'll be out of West Chester and on our way to Hot-lanta.

I'm super excited for the next chapter of life, but so sad to leave PA; this state that I had the hardest time adjusting to. Isn't it ironic? I think the first two-thirds of this blog actually revolves around my dislike of Philadelphia and feeling so temporary. Who would've known I'd now have such close friends and wonderful memories that are making it so sad to leave? If it weren't for my job and co-workers that I liked so much, I would've been on the first plane out of here and missed out on the things that now make leaving this tough.

How lucky I am to have Something that makes saying goodbye so hard.



TIRED OF READING ABOUT...

PILLOWS?!?

Good. Me too. Let's change that. Well, I'll change that and you guys just keep checking in :) Promise?

Things are a-changin' and my blogging frequency is too. By frequency I mean I'm actually going to start blogging again.

Weeeeeee! Here we go.

PILLOWS

I've been noticing more often than not, lately, that I've been having to dust my sewing machine.

Which translates into: I've not been using it enough!

I had some bare pillow forms and scrap fabric that I like to pick up at yard sales or the craft store when it's on clearance; so in a couple short hours last wednesday night, my bed got a little pillow make over.

Navy and white flowered in the back and light pink in the front are the new additions.

 I love them.

Mainly because they're new and I love a good change of pace in house decorations, but also because they were so cheap! We all know I'm a sucker for a good deal and now I won't feel bad if I get sick of them next season and want to make new ones :)
