Erin, looks great! Don't know if you have such a thing kicking around, but I have used a lovely card table tablecloth as a headboard-type replacement, hung with thin nails and silver binder clips for I am classy like that.

Very cool bedside table.

The salsa that I bought is marked "New Tamper-proof! and Leak-proof packaging!" Who do they think is going to be tampering with salsa?

Seska, I recycle sock cuffs.

That's a great idea! I recycle the socks with rubber tread on the sole as clog socks - cut 'em off behind the ball of the foot area; the tread keeps them from sliding my foot out of the clogs as I walk.

After all, Coke adds life.

Bwahaha!

I love repurposed stuff. Furniture, clothing, it just makes me happy, somehow.

I want to just get a pretty cloth and hand it from a thin curtain rod, with pretty holders and finials. It's just a matter of finding the right cloth. And you know, le cash.

Thanks! I am very pleased with it.

bah. to round out the week, my temporary crown just fell out. grumble.

They gave you denture cream, right? Works like wonders until you can go back.

cvs down the street - after a round of google-fu. Just, really, this week is all about being over now. I'm done with it.

Your stairs look amazing sarameg

Lazy day is coming to a close. I gotta head into work in about an hour. Which means I gotta shower and get ready. And just as I'm fixin' to do that, MLB network starts rebroadcasting the Yankees/BoSox game. I'd much rather continue watching the game, than go into work. Humbug.

ION- I'm sick of the two major candidates for Governor. I think I'm voting Green Party.

Thanks. My dentist always sent me home with a sample tube. Nothing like carrying around denture glue in your bag to feel ancient and broken in your thirties! And the gap when it comes out is just unsettling and freaky.

When mine unpopped on a piece of string cheese, fergawdsake, dentist said if it felt too funny, she could have me visit her tech at home (since she couldn't travel as she's a single mom,) since it was a weekend. Luckily, was fine until monday. Never heard of dentists and techs who do housecalls of any sort and emergency off hours visits, now. Happy to have found one.

The nightstand looks fab, Erin! I hate matched nightstands anyway, and I'd be tempted to keep the stacked hatboxes even when drawered stands were affordable.

I wish I'd known about the adhesive.

My new dentist was somewhere between impressed and appalled at the state of my hard lexan night guard. There's not a surface on it that isn't multiply scored, it's chewed through in two places, and one end has been snapped off by my vicious nighttime teeth-grinding. He thinks I might need a new one.

We did have a come-to-Jesus about the fact that at my age I'm far more invested function than gorgeousity. My bite is funky, but it works and causes me no pain. Braces are a no, thanks.
