Update: Couch!

Well, I am no longer dazed, confused or couch-less, yes! Here she is!

 No- she doesn't have a real name... Well, technically she does, the name on the box was Anita, or something like that. I'm just sayin' I'm not going around calling her Karlita...

'Speaking' of YHL, I've been inspired. Since I've never really liked the 'picture wall' above the old love seat and need to rework it anyway... I'm thinking a photo collage a la Young House Love style. And good thing IKEA opened yesterday!!! Now I can go shopping for affordable frames and other home goodies!

See that big wall with awkwardly hung photos? That's the spot! There's also another new 'spot', one for a chair...

 Can I show you what I am DYING for? It's this:

And it is my baby. No- not Kyla! The chair!  (Okay, Okay, she's my first baby)
Wanna see more? I thought you would, thanks for asking :)

It's at Pier 1

And yes, that is seersucker and linen.  I die.

 Someday- if this goes on sale, or more like, clearance. It's mine- and you had better be notifying me if you see it!!! Pleeeease???? :) Who knew an "accidental" craigslist ad would lead to an entire room makeover? Now we are rethinking the window treatments and side tables too.
 In time, in time. I've already made my spontaneous decision for the year ; D

Dazed and Confused

I'm not entirely sure what just happened today.

We went out to breakfast, walked around a farmers market, stopped by Costco, oogled at a great sectional sofa with a really great price tag, came home for naps and I whipped this up...

After getting a couple calls and an okay price offer I handed my phone off to Stephen so I could take a nap he could handle things.  Someone did call him, but said they would call back later and maybe come by to look at it.  I decided to vacuum under the cushions just in case they did stop by and while I was cleaning, they came by, no call or anything!  And they were people we knew!  I was so confused as to why these people (whom I haven't seen in a couple years!) were walking into my house, coming in as the attachment on my vacuum started to blow dust!  15 minutes later they were gone... and so were our couches!  (I should add, we got full price we were asking!)
I just keep looking at our empty living room thinking, "Uh, what the heck just happened??" and "We have no couches!!"
So much for throwing an ad up to 'see what would happen'.  Craigslist is no joke!  Actually, the funny thing is that with everything we've posted to Craigslist, it's either gone in a couple of hours, or never sells at all.
So Stephen went back to Costco to pick up the couch, and they were closed.  oops!  I guess Costco closes at 6:30 on Saturday, wow.
Since our living room re-do was put on hold we ran out to Chick-fil-A for some dinner.  After eating Colby randomly says he needs to go poo poo... on the potty.
WHAT?  (YOU didn't see that one coming either, did you ; )
So Stephen takes him to the bathroom and sure enough, he went 'poo poo on the potty'.
I am totally beside myself.

For now we moved the couch from the kitchen to the living room:

Empty!  The room feels twice as big!

Another bit-o-randomness for the day.  Kyla made a shadow in the car today using a pencil with a toy on top... wah-la!

What is that you ask?  What is that a shadow of??
Why, "a pelican going to college" of course!
Yeah, you know what, it does kinda look li---  Wait.  What the what?!?

This is officially the last day I start without coffee!
