Thursday Morning Grumpies

Today I have a really bad case of the Thursday Morning Grumpies. It started because the alarm went off. Then the dog promptly started barking to go outside. Then I came back in and didn't have enough coffee ground. Then I found where the dog peed on the floor (for no apparent reason. ugh. If we keep her gated in the bedroom she doesn't do this. But Brad thought maybe she would stop doing it since it's been a while since she did it. No such luck. We cannot trust her!).

But you know what? None of that is actually a reason to be grumpy for the rest of the day. So right this second I am going to decide to have a good day.

I am going to share with you a few things from my pin boards that I have simply been coveting lately:

Ok, so this one isn't from a pinboard. I stole it from my friend's facebook. This is baby Benjamin. He's 2.5 weeks old, and definitely the youngest baby I've ever held. I was a little afraid since littles like that are so squishy and jello-like but he's so sweet.

We are moving in June so I've been trying to find curtains and design inspiration for our new place. We'll have significantly more windows, so I'm hoping to do some of them in Chevron even though it's sort of wildly popular right now.

We will also have a fireplace. Since Brad has asthma, it's probably not a good idea for us to burn actual wood, but it will be fun to make a cozy little "fire" with candles! I'm imagining Christmas time with the stockings hung with care on the mantle, candles lit in the fireplace, hot chocolate, and Charlie Brown Christmas.

Monet is one of my favorites. I hope I get to see some when I go to Paris!

I'm going to be in a wedding in December, so I've been poking around looking at bridesmaid dresses when I get bored. I really liked this one, it reminds me of Audrey Hepburn!
