I wonder if....

my eyes are currently that big since I am on my fourth cup of YUMMMYYYYYY Coffee?!?!!?

Good Morning....

Wake up every morning
with the thought that
something WONDERFUL
is about to happen.

Quick question....
Is the office that I work in the only one
that keeps it
FREEZING FLIPPIN COLD

(and as you can see my eyes are not that big but I do feel like I can accomplish just about anything today
I feel like I am going 200 MPH....because in my everday world...I already go ummm about 150mph)
Yes that is me wearing my scarf just like I do
 EVERYDAY
(even with my heater on full force)
anddd for the record
I would have my coat on too
But I spilled coffee down the sleeve :(
The upside....I DIDN'T spill it on my white shirt :)
It is a good day....and Friday at that!!!!!

Quick question....

So I am thinking its not only me but I have to ask...
Has anyone else took on a project
got it completely apart and thought
What in the hell (yes I said hell...for anyone that knows me they know I am honest and most times my filter is not working...so very sorry) was I thinking....
I know that I can do it but I got it apart and I am thinking
this is ALOTTTTT of work....Why did I do it and I hope its freaking worth it...
any one else do this????
AND FOR THE RECORD FOAM IS EXPENSIVE (and hard to cut too)!!!
Jeeeezzzzzz
A friends dog took one look at this Ottoman and clearly was starving because Lucy devoured the entire corner (I can see how it would trigger a hungry appetite...YUCK) of it and she said here you can have this if you think you can do something with it.....and I said OHHHH OF COURSE

Delving into it I was like UGGGG.............





BUTTTT THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THIS TUNNEL....
I kept looking at the material I had envisioned using on it and it kept me going.....
The top is covered  :) I am a happy girl and as always YES it will be worth it!!!!
