I’ve been between a headache and a migraine for four days now. Each day I wake up hoping that it’s gone and then feel a horrible pain. Each day I desperately hope that it won’t turn into a full-out migraine. But yesterday, despite everything, Meg was able to make me smile by giving me my first blog award. I’m so flattered and excited to know that someone out there enjoys the things that Peter and I are putting out into cyberspace.

So, here are ten of the millions of things that I’m happy about right now:
1. My darling fiance

2. My friends, family, and future family who always care about everything in my life, both big and small.

3. Our silly puppies (of course they fall into the above category as well)

4. Our cappuccino maker and homemade muffins
5. Silence–I listen to music all day every weekday for my job. It may sound fabulous but I can’t tell you how much I appreciate silence now.
6. Fondue–it’s my favorite food.
7. Thrift Stores and Vintage knick-knacks

8. Crafting and Refurbishing Furniture

9. Fun Blogs
10. Traveling
Now on to you! Here are ten of the blogs that I absolutely adore–other than House Notes, of course. (You know I can’t say “absolutely adore” without thinking of It Takes Two? Hmm…)
- Thrifty Little Blog
- Goths in Hot Weather
- The Yellow Front Door
- Russet Street Reno
- Sfgirlbybay
- White & Wander
- Little Green Notebook
- Adventures in Renovating a Brooklyn Limestone
- Welcome to my Humble Ablog!
- ~Ruffles And Stuff~
On an unrelated note, I’m using wordpress.org and for some reason my blog doesn’t recognize when other people link to me. Has anyone else experience this problem? I have a section of my dashboard dedicated to this but it doesn’t work. It’s bizarre. Anyway, if you have an answer, I’d love to hear it!
I hope everyone has a fabulous day!





I love getting to know everyone through their about me lists. You and I could totally hang together, my dear. Fondue, vintage finds, homemade muffins, adorable puppies and cappucino? Yes, please!
When is your wedding date?
Oh, and P.S. – That end table you made over is FABULOUS.
Thanks Meg! If I’m ever in GA I’ll definitely let you know. I’ve never been there so it’d be super fun and if you and your hubby are ever in Austin then let me know and we’ll show you the town.
We’re getting married on 10-10-10. We actually got engaged in Paris almost a year ago. I’ll probably post about it on our “one year engaged anniversary.” It seems so far away. It’s hard to keep ourselves on track–and to have an affordable, personalized wedding.
