we are at colorado in the 'craigslist alphabetically' series..
i chose denver bc it's the capital.
and i chose wisely..
great shape and bones.
mint condition.

perfect as is or you could get some glass cut for it to make it bigger.
but i like it just the way it is.
it is smart. it is kind. it is important.
staffordshire dogs- make an offer
great price.
new versions of this cost thousands.
duh.

there is something about it that says, hey.. fancy me up with mexican serape blanket cushions and a custom table cloth and throw us in your beach house or lake house or pool house.
brass and walnut floor lamp- $65
quirky and shiny.
so cute.
so many possiblities.
a makeshift bar.
an entry console.
a place to lay your wizard hat after a hard days work at hogwarts.
or a cat bed i guess.
needs work but the bones are great.
50 bucks is a steal.
brass and glass sofa table- $50
i want to murder this small picture.
the shape is fantastic and it's brass!
brass and mint green, yes.
leather lounge + ottoman- $2500

large vintage lucite lamp- $45
run you dummies.
i would use this as a bar set up on my porch for parties (that i never have)
and to store gardening stuff the rest of the time (all the time).
but if you are a regular party thrower this would be great to store all of your outdoor party supplies..
plates, glasses, platters, bongs...
turn your head to the side.
it's cute.
it's huge! 14 x 14.
great color, nice fading.
i would DEFINITELY check this out in person.
a weekend project.
depending on the wood in person..
if it's too orange and shiny i would just paint them,
probably black.
but if the wood is good i'd leave them alone.
and for fabric i would do this:
designers guild 'magnolia tree' in peony.
i would do what that diy enigma morgan did..

you: shutyourface!!!
me: no really!!
why so low?
well they will need some new upholstery.
but relax...
i got that all picked out for you....
take your pick!
painterly black and white swirls? $18 a yard.
graphic and worldly pink and orange? $18 a yard.
purple ikat? $18 a yard.
BOOM!
awesome chairs.
or if you don't want to bother yourself with upholstery
there is ONE parsons chair available at MiNTY that honestly needs nothing but a new home..
handsome parsons chair- $350
here's an idea...
yes.
sort of obsessed with that paint color.
who's with me?
thanks donkeys.
my back felt better.
so i cooked.
such a rookie move.
but LOOK AT THE DELICIOUS FOOD WE ATE!!!
in season, fresh dover sole..
flour, salt, pepper.
brown butter..
sauteed then finished with lemon zest and juice.
hardcore.
grilled cabbage and yellow squash with a spicy thai vinaigrette.
so flavorful.
it was honestly the best part and i could have eaten just it.
wild blackberries growing on the side of my house.
tossed in some sugar, flour and vanilla.
butter crumbles.
flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt and one stick of butter.
nestled on top of the berries, ready for cooking.
375 for 45 minutes.
last 5 minutes brolied for crispness...
caramelized goodness.
it was like one of those crisp, lacey cookies on top with a buttery, gooey vanilla ooze underneath.
and the tang of the tart berry mixed in made it so perfectly balanced.
just add vanilla ice cream.
i want to float down a river of ice cream.
me and my diarrhea dairy tendencies meant only one spoonful of the stuff.
but it was just enough to creamify everything in my mouth.
it was heaven.
OH!
and we watched the 1st and 2nd episodes of game of thrones!
or as i like to call it
game of incest and butt sex.
do you watch?
there are a lot of boobs.
clearly we haven't gotten past the 13yo boy phase of this show.
every scene mike and i are just about to touch our privates...
but then someone gets their head cut off and their intestines gutted.
it's awesome.
(i made up the crisp recipe so if you want specifics just holla in the comments section- it's gluten free but you would just swap out GF for AP if you wanted it the regular way)
sorry guys. this post is going to disappoint (what else is new?)...
but
i am for real laid up like a donkey who got kicked by a donkey.
i have been having some back issues (upper middle if you're wonderin) since about december.
they come and go.
worse after a work out..
anyway..
i have been living with it just fine (i mean it sucks but it's been manageable)
until today.
MOTHERFUCK!
i woke up and thought..this is it.
i am going to die today.
i drove myself to the end of the street to a chiropractor.
seriously he is right at the end of my street.
after some poking and prodding..
he tells me i have subluxation or some such thing.
and cervical misalignment.
go figure.
that's what pushing out a 9 pounder shoulders first will do to you.
i got to go for a ride on a table that moved me back and forth over a massager which was awesome.
if i had turned over it would have been REALLY awesome.
and i got cracked and popped and stretched (a little less awesome).
i was better for about 10 minutes.
now it just feels the same if not worse.
i have to go back for an x ray on monday and am supposed to take it easy all weekend.
gee...darn.
so all this to tell you that i have nothing to post.
except go make these shorts:
bc they are just too cute not to.
anyone else have back issues that they care to share?
any tricks i need to know about?
and remedies that work for you?
and did the chiropractor do his thing? i mean is it supposed to get worse before it gets better?
appreciate ya.
have a great weekend.
fartluxation,
