woops

How often do I confess to accidentally going on a shopping spree? Just about after every weekend when we don’t have a wedding. This past weekend was no exception.

Saturday morning Coop-dizzle and I went to Dotty’s for breakfast with Emily (we miss you!). It was an early arse morning so we had the entire day to be super productive. Rather than doing all that needed to be done, we first went to Nordstroms Rack where I filled a cart with crap, worked myself into a tizzy, then put everything back except for a pair of flamingo colored shoes which I will probably return. After two hours at “the rack” we decided to pop into Room and Board to check out the couch we have been lusting after for the past month or so. Needless to say, we spent about 3 hours there and bought the couch as well as an Eames Lounge chair. Aye carumba. These guys are going to be like celebrities in a tiny space that isn’t worthy of their presence. Then we stopped at Ikea to get a quick and cheap lunch (yeah, we eat at Ikea. If I told you what we went there for you would laugh and make fun of me…$0.50 hot dogs…yes, hot dogs from Ikea…we were on a budget!). Our budget flew out the window when we purchased the coolest ever white storage locker from their “as is” section. Woops, woops, woops. Here are the goods…I’ll post more photos when then actually arrive…

We don’t have a wedding this weekend. I wonder what trouble we will get into….

At a very young age I lost site of my mom in a local grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. I did, however, have the smarts to go to the customer service counter. The kind woman at the counter asked "What is your name little girl?" My reply: "Assi." The woman gave me a look like, "Are you playing with me you little devil?" but she proceeded to blast on the loudspeaker the "We have a lost Assi at the front of the store." Customers throughout the store gagged and giggled, but my mom knew exactly who the woman was referring to: the mullet haired little girl with a tongue too big for her mouth, wearing a leotard, skirt, tights, and jelly shoes (with florescent green laces in them...even though they didn't need the laces). A shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing. I am pleased to report that today I am able to fully pronounce Allison (aka Ali), but the Assi pseudonym has always stuck, evolving into Aszi. As for the shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing? Some things never change. I have closed my comments due to mass amounts of spam that no filter could ever control. Feel free to contact me abeckord [at] gmail.com!
