Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

I was totally Sue WRT Restoration Hardware. I actually went there for the first time looking for odd-sized 1920s vintage drawer pulls. They have nice drawer pulls, but not for vintage furniture!

I think they started out more that way and then caught the Pottery Barn bug and transformed.

DH doesn't like their distressed pieces

They distress him? (sorry, couldn't resist)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Along the same lines, remember when Banana Republic sold like safari clothes?? The first (?) one in Cambridge had a jeep half in and half out of the store's front window. Exciting!

Because books.

Both of those chairs are awesome. I especially love the one Jesse linked. SO steampunky!

It's supposed to rain like this all week. Can someone wake me up next Monday? Ugh.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, I first went to Restoration Hardware because I love hardware stores, so I was initially disappointed, but I got over that and am now just disappointed that I can't actually afford anything they carry.

I've been avoiding Restoration Hardware. I'm weak and, well, so are my finances. I do, however, occasionally go through the architectural salvage store in my neighborhood. Amazing things ... some of which remind me of my grandparents' house.

That's the nice thing about RH. It's far enough into "oh hell no" range that I can moon over things without actually being at risk of succumbing.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Turned key, car would not start. Mechanic came down and took car away. I had a small nervous breakdown and need to stop sobbing before walking down to Enterprise to rent a car. I can't miss more work. I've spent all my vacation time.

I can't afford a new car. Please. Just please.

Tell me this is going to be okay.
