Birthday and house wants

I know my birthday is still around 2 months away...but still here are some things I really like!

These are all from my favorite store... Anthropologie. Sadly everything is so expensive there.However anyone who wants to get me a present theres some ideas!

Here are some things I want for my house:

My dad finally wrote me a check for the things I left him at the old house. I am considering using it to buy these for the living room...I still plan on making curtains to go in front of them though.

Ive also been on a hunt for containers like these. Found one small one at a garage sale for $2. These are at Crate and Barrel, which we still have an unused gift card there. Maybe I will get those. 

Remember this idea?

I want to do it here:

Here are some ideas:

Both at Crate and Barrel.

I really like these two, like paint speckles. I like the idea of alternating blue and green. I wonder if I found white ceramic plates at a thrift store if I could recreate this with acrylic paint? Because the Anthropologie plates are a bit expensive.

Here are some more from Anthropologie:

These are from Target:

I was thinking I could paint the back of this last one to make it more interesting. It is an acrylic plate. I am liking the idea of the white painted ceramic plates the best so far.

love this!

Now if only I could afford even one of these items from Anthropologie...

The yellow dress I love, though yellow is not good on me.

When will this cold end!?

It seems like Virginia is getting a beating with snow. Saturday flurries are becoming a regular thing. Granted Virginia Beach isn't getting hit like other areas but still this is very unusual. I am over it. I want it to get warmer. The frigid temps are keeping me from running and it sucks! I feel like a lazy blob. Ha! How am I supposed to get in wedding day shape!

I have been making tasty dinners lately though. This weeks menu included Fettucini with sauted shrimp, sauted spiniach, and a homemade cream sauce, homemade chicken pot pie, steak with sauted asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes, then last night we ate lasagna at Zach's parents. I forgot to bring leftovers to work today too! Dangit, I haven't eaten out at all this week either.

I am also getting tormented by Anthropologie sending me emails with cute things like this...

I guess its time to go get some lunch...
