Countdown to greatness

We are T-9 days and counting until we get to switch to AT&T and get iPhones. I am seriously accident-prone, so Zach and I have been researching iPhone cases for a while... After several suggestions from friends, we got the most recommendations for the Otterbox cover. Now, I just have to decide which color!!! Green is my fav, but pink comes in a close second... Hmm....

One of my best friends Emily gave me this... AMAZING and so perfect!

A punch

After a couple of months of analyzing our paint color in the dining room (the light beige we did on most of the house), we decided that it needed a punch of color. There are some beautiful white french doors that open to the backyard, plus our fireplace is white and brightens up the room. I got to thinking that since there is so much natural light, a crystal chandelier, and a lot of bright white paint, it might be good to use a darker color to contrast and make the white pop. I wanted to use a color that is in the same shade family as our kitchen (Silver Sage), but darker. So, I took myself back to Restoration Hardware and found Blue Sage... it's a beautiful color! It looks mostly sage green, but has just a touch of blue undertones. Zach has been finishing the white part and finally got to roll on some of the color last night. Here is a picture from Restoration's website that shows the color--- I'll post one as soon as we finish cutting in.

P.S. Restoration has color swatches, but I have been able to easily match them with Behr's color match machine at Home Depot... just a little money-saving tip!

Oh.My.Gosh!!!!

A shout out once again to my girl, Katie. For those who don't know her, she is an English teacher by day... Marketing genius by night! I'm just kidding... I can tell that she is an English/Writing teacher-- every time she posts about some product, I want to go out and buy it right then! So... without further ado... you MUST go out and get this ice cream... You can click on her name and read about it on her blog... Here is her main description:

"May I introduce... Haagen Dazs "Reserve" Fleur de Sel Caramel ice cream. This is a salty ice cream. Sounds weird, but suspend your disbelief because it is ridiculously delicious. Imagine a creamy caramel ice cream with a hint of saltiness in the actual ice cream. It's salty enough that you can absolutely taste the salt, but it's not overwhelming. There is a caramel ribbon running through the ice cream with even more salt that just makes the caramel flavor come to life. It is intensely delicious. Then, as if that wasn't enough, there are itty bitty chocolate covered caramel candies throughout the ice cream. Like three per spoonful. The caramels are not frozen. They are perfectly soft. It's like a miracle."

All I can say is, "Oh. My. Gosh." It is just unbelievably fantastic! I don't even know how else to describe it!

Happy Dessert eating!
