Drama Drama Drama

For the first time in a long time, I can honestly say that I have no drama in my life.  And let me tell you, it feels great!   All my life I have found ways to either personally create drama, or to throw myself into the middle of everyone else's drama.... and it's been exhausting.   I'm a fixer, always trying to fix everyone else's problems.    But the truth is, some people don't want to be helped, some problems can't be fixed, and some people will always have drama in their lives.  But, I'm not gonna be one of them anymore!   I have some friends going through some stuff right now, and though I want to be there for them, I also realize that for my own sanity, I need to just stay out of it.   I can't fix it, I can't make it better, and no one has asked for my help....so for once, I'm going to steer clear of the drama.   Whew.... it feels so nice to be boring!

Pillows!

I got these great pillow covers from Mason Moonbeam's Etsy Shop! 

  

(Please excuse my poor photography skills...)

I love them!  Not only do they look great, but I was able to recycle some old ugly pillows by just covering them up, which worked out perfectly.  They are a nice sturdy material, so they even stand up against my animals, who have already decided to lay all over them.   The quality is definitely like anything you'd get at a design shop.  I definitely recommend you visit her site, she has lots of patterns and sizes to choose from.  Here are some of my other favorites she has to offer:

Take a look...it's in a book

Okay guys and gals... I'm in need of a good book!   I've been bookless for a few months now, and I just can't seem to find one that really captures my attention.  The last book I read was "The Glass Castle," by Jeanette Walls, and I must say... it was soooo good!   I read it in less than a week, I couldn't put it down.  And I'm such a ditz... I didn't even realize it was an autobiography until like 3 chapters in when I noticed finally that the main character had the same name as the author... duh!  The fact that it's a true story makes it even more incredible.  Jeanette tells the story so well of growing up in true poverty, with an alcoholic father and crazy mother... but it's told in such a lighthearted manor, that it never feels like a "sad story."   I would definitely recommend it if you haven't read it already.

What great books have you read lately?
