Five Freakishly Awesome Things

Today I will share with you five freakishly awesome things from my life.  Those of you that follow me on Instagram (username: decorandthedog) already have the inside scoop on most of them but I felt like EVERYONE needed to know about the following….

1. The Pinterest app for Android is now available.  I broke up with Pinterest for awhile.  You know, when it started “seeing” everyone in my real life.  But I got over it and now we’re on again.  Browsing aimlessly makes my heart happy.

2.  My dear friend, Amanda, was home from Reno.  We went thrifting.  I found these Wire Fox bookends.  Obviously our time spent together was a success.

Ike was jealous and decided he needed to be a Kindle bookend.  My feet look freakishly huge and dirty in this photo.  Only one of those is actually true.

3. Amanda, Nate, and I also ate a delicious supper at Crust in Bettendorf.  Naples style pizza. Cheese curds fried in a 312/funnel cake combo batter.  Life changing.

4.   Nate and I had our first kickball game of the season on Tuesday.  It’s our second season playing.  We’re old pros.  Oh wait, Nate is.  I just stand in the outfield and pray that the ball isn’t kicked to me. True story.  But I do have a pretty fierce kickball stare perfected…

5.  Our new living room rug arrived.  I type “our” like Nate is excited about the new purchase.  He totally digs it.  I ordered it from Overstock.  I had a horrible previous experience so I was afraid to open it.  I opened just an end yesterday.  So far so good.  I’ll show you more next week when it’s in place. Unless I hate it and have to send it back.

I managed to twist my knee while lugging it closer to the couch to better visualize.  I am one handy little lady.
