<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my mind is already reeling with the holidays.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this year i am chomping at the bit for them to get here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i might put my tree up this weekend. for real.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and i'm on this kick where i want to make our little (soon to be) family of 3 a set of stockings. anthropologie/free people-esque. hand-made that we'll love for a good long time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i'm still pulling inspiration but if i wasn't so swamped with photography during christmas card season, then i would probably be making those this weekend, too :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you guys, during my absence from this blog, i found out that the little nugget</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is most definitely</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a BOY!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we were told it was <em>most likely</em> a boy at our 12 weeks sonogram but</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i can't go making decisions and hopes and dreams come true, off of 'most likely'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so we held out for our big sonogram at week 20, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to be officially told,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so we could officially tell,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that he is in fact, an active (KICKING) little boy :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and so.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to announce it to our family that night,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i made one of those giant 3' balloons that i love.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they knew it was either going to be pink, or it was going to be blue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and BLUE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(and here's my disclaimer: i am way way better behind the camera than i am in front of one. oh good lord. my hands get all weird and i don't know what to do with my legs and i end up looking bizarre. which, i just scheduled my maternity session for the beginning of january, and i'm nervous! ha... <em>DEAR LORD, please let there be snow so at least the background will be beautiful and interesting to look at and can take some of the pressure off. thank you. amen.</em>)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
here are some of the photos i had husband snap as we were getting in the car with our ginormous balloon. with an iphone. with the sun at full force. and the wind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it was difficult. i should have used my big camera, they could have been arty and glorious, but i can't take them and be in them at the same time. </div>

i used crepe paper streamers, cut in half for the fringe. in cobalt blue, light blue, mint green, grey, cream, and white with blue polka dots. i also threw some gold ribbon in there because i'm still me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the B-O-Y was made with a gold poster board found at hobby lobby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then i tied them all the balloon and voila.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
not anywhere near geronimo balloon status, but it did it's job and it's still going strong hanging out in our living room :)</div>

i have an oxblood from last past 2 years when i was (still am) obsessed with wine and magenta, and lucky for me, it's still cool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and just the other day, when i was buying my new DOMINO!!!!!!, i also bought a dark hunter green polish on a whim. which i thought would be pretty for christmas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
lucky for me, they say that's also cool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(cheap brand you can buy at walgreens... sorry i don't remember the name or the maker.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and remember that <a href="http://www.1700louisiana.blogspot.com/2013/10/some-random-good-things.html"><span style="color: magenta;">holographic chanel polish</span></a> from last week... still cool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i know hologram stuff has been around since spring.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i've told everyone around me who doesn't give a-you-know-what</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
all about how my favorite magazine is coming back after a 4 year hiatus.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and i was pumped to add another to the stack.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i can't believe i waited so long to see this movie.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and a whole lot touching, which surprised me a bit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i loved it.</div>

from hannah maple.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the question is....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
concrete or iron/steel/metal?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i prefer the metal but as you can see, it turns this </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
gorgeous shade of "i'm old and rusty"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and with a kid on the way, should i be bringing such traps into the back of my yard?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but are any firepits kid friendly anyway?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

from houzz.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
certainly pulls at the concrete heart strings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but the other question is...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with kansas city deep freeze winters, will it survive out there?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or will i have to lug and then store these things inside?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

the really cool ones (like this one found on flickr)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
are vintage old kettles used for who knows what.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i read some that were used for sugar?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i would love this guy in my backyard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and at only $1200, i'll get right on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you guys, i guess, if anybody is still out there....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i've been absent for way too long.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i don't really have any excuses, just to say that my blogger mind was turned off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i have been a little preoccupied.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and as much as i still obsess over really great decor and junk (hello <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/jbarrier/"><span style="color: magenta;">pinterest</span></a>, i was never far from there), i just wasn't focused enough to bring you anything worthwhile.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i still thought about here, and you, and missed it occasionally but....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i'm actually expecting a lil baby. in mid-march!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and i'm like, insane excited! (and very insanely insane nervous.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
there is alot of back story behind the nervous part.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but <em>i try so hard</em> to just focus, and my husband too, on the excited.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
starting a family hasn't been the easiest road for the two of us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
there were road blocks, then ups, then downs, and finally, after a goooood long time, we are here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i am 16 weeks and things are looking pretty great!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
lil nugget is healthy (as far as we can tell), she/he's passed all the tests so far, and!! the sickness is finally letting up. i still get waves of gross, but honestly, i kinda cherish(ed) it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
being morning (noon, evening, night, middle of the night) sick meant that my baby was healthy and sending out tons of prego hormones that in turn made me feel sick. so, when i felt sick, i felt good about it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's weird, i know.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this is the first real "hey!! i'm having a baby!" for me. and it's a little stress inducing, honestly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
if you follow me on instagram, i guess i haven't been keeping it a secret there, but facebook still isn't any wiser. and i actually think i like it that way, at least for now. (here comes a tangent.) i just don't like fb. and i'm sure you do, bc i'm sure i'm the only one who doesn't, but we just don't get along very well. so i side-eye it and keep a little distance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my husband and i have been so nervous (more so in the beginning, less and less so now but it's definitely still there) that things weren't going to end the way we hope and pray. when a women gets preg, she's like hell yeah. in 9 months i'll have a baby to hold! but sometimes that doesn't happen for whatever God's reasons are, and it smarts like you wouldn't even believe. and so.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when the miracle of life happens again, your naivety has been robbed and you're cautious. even more than, you're down right scared.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we didn't even tell our families until we were 10.5 weeks. and close friends not until 12, not even my besties! and everyone else, we've been trickling out the good news since.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and there's no hiding it now with a belly that looks like a chipotle burrito and a half!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but that's one tough secret to keep in the summer time. <em>seriously.</em> fruity cocktails and teeny bikinis are lurking around every corner!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so. along with the nerves, has been my reluctance to purchase anything for baby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
until today!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
hoorah!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
after work i'm headed to pick up this beauty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
thanks, friend craigslist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to snuggle and feed and rock my little nugget in for days and nights on end.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
vintage and quirky and wooden perfectness,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that fits in perfectly in both of my secret pinterest boards. one girl, and one boy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i think this was the beginning and now, maybe the flood gates have been opened?! ha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and in true fashion, the whole time i was writing this, i was thinking to myself... gosh. i probably shouldn't be doing this. so if i could ask you for anything, just keep us in your prayers. hopefully God's plans and our plans are aligned and come mid-march, i'll meet him or her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and so there you have it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a nice little essay for my first day back in like 2 months.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so i've been gone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and this is a sentance i have been saying far too much on here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and i'd rather just not say it, but i've been really uninspired.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
maybe i'm desensitized with all this beautiful gorgeous stuff all over to look at.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i have my theories.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but instead of forcing anything, i'm just stepping away until i'm inspired again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this weekend was the lowest key weekend i've had in a long long time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i clocked a lot of doing nothing time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it was great!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and yesterday was a devious maids marathon and you better believe i watched it. all of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so now...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
not sure when i'll be back but i will be.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<br />
<div align="center">
because i so would.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
i've been in my house now for 4 years and while we've come a <em>long</em> way from where we started, there is still quite a bit of things i want to do to this house before we call her finished.</div>
<div align="center">
but now i'm at this point where i'm itching to move. to start over.</div>
<div align="center">
do i leave this house, with a face lift, just not a full reconstructive work up....</div>
<div align="center">
or do i stick it out for another 2 years and see her through?</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
prob going to stay.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
but if i were looking for houses right about now, i'd probably be looking for wood paneling.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
and who does that?</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
me.</div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
here's why:</div>

i was just enamored with that kitchen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wood and white. (and the mix of old china doesn't hurt!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i'm thinking my next kitchen will be a variation of wood, with modern white.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in the little boys section.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
yes, i'm being serious.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and only $17.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
going to get them at lunch.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my mom and i sorta share magazines, i read her leftovers...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so i just got around to this spring issue (march 2013) of real simple recently.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i tore these pages out as soon as i saw them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i can't pin down exactly what triggered my visceral reaction to these pages,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but it was hard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i think it was the white walls, especially white painted brick.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i am really loving them more lately... the white wall thing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the rugs. and the art!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
oh and the color/pattern extravaganza. obviously.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the mismatched/anthropologie effect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
prob the combo of all that mushed together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
took me awhile to hunt them down on real simple but if you want the details on the clothes, you can read all about them <a href="http://www.realsimple.com/beauty-fashion/clothing/world-fashion-00100000096997/index.html"><span style="color: magenta;">here</span></a>.</div>
