Living Room

Long long ago, Bart finished the fireplace mantel and I posted on the floors and paint color but I can't remember if I ever showed pictures of the couch.  Bart and I wanted something that could seat alot of people (since we have no other place to sit), had a classic look and was wipeable or semi child friendly-mind you this is our first "big" furniture purchase of our 5 year marriage.   I searched high and low, in and out, up and down and finally decided that I couldn't afford the couch I wanted. BUT then one day while searching the good old internet I found it-the Alessia pearl leather sectional from Macy's. Who knew that Macy's had furniture that was a good cost and quality.?. I sure wish someone would have told me.  The couch was delivered a week before Christmas and Bart and I love it. Now some of you may be thinking pearl/white, leather, with a baby on the way...crazy.... but such is life.  As soon as we got the couch though, Bart decided that we needed a rug, so I again started my quest and guess what- I never found anything. So months have passed and Bart decided to take matters into his own hands.  I pulled up various rugs from all sorts of internet sites and Bart chose. He picked a chevron, handmade, 8x10, from Rugs USA. It arrived in 5 days and was half the price of some of the rugs I was interested in. Way to go honey.

So here you go, what do you think?

Fashion


Today I thought I would blog about pregnancy fashion. Now if I were a "real" blogger I would have cute outfits and cute photos of me sporting my great pregnancy attire BUT I don't plan on posting any disturbing (aka fat) photos of this 27 week chick.

Basically I wanted to tell my patients (who don't read this blog) and the girls at the office (most of whom don't read this blog) that I am sorry that I am a fashion faux pas.



I know that you are NOT supposed to wear white socks with dark dress pants and black shoes... by the way all I have are dark dress pants and black or brown danskos, but the 3rd trimester is here and so are the TED hose-also known as "support hose".

I have worn TED hose during my nursing career because they help with swelling and varicose veins and such. But TEDS are expensive thus I have not run out and bought a new pair in black and thus I will continue to be a pregnant fashion faux pas. I must tell you though, that they feel great and I haven't had a stitch of swelling and I can be on my feet through out the day.
