It's time for VicLit's Celebrate the Small Things!I'm celebrating that the rain let up enough that we can still drive to the store. I know that's not a big thing at all, but when I heard about all of the roads that were closing I started to worry. We were almost out of milk and bread and cold medicine. Yes, we have a hurricane kit in the pantry filled with powdered milk and can goods but I didn't want to use it up for a simple rain storm. Now I won't have to! Hopefully we will not get much more rain. My thoughts and prayers are with all the people in the area that are experiencing flooding.
I have two more small celebrations on my mind. The first is that we enjoyed our fourth of July despite the rain. We turned the living room into a pillow nest, made popcorn and had a movie night. The kids loved it!
The second is that my new rug came in the mail today. Military housing is sometimes hard to make look like home, especially since the same curtains and rugs never seem to fit more than one house. This rug is a basic enough shape that I hope it will work in several houses and it has color. Lots of color. Good-bye bland, beige living room!
Have a great weekend everyone :)
Pillow parties are terrific! The kids beg for them :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new rug! Enjoy it.
That's exactly what we did for the Fourth since the rain made BBQs, fireworks or anything else impossible.
ReplyDeleteThe pillow nest and rug sounds good! I'm glad you were able to get what you needed!
ReplyDeleteThe pillows and movie and popcorn sound like they need to become a new tradition, and hooray for rugs! Decorating is not my area, but even i don't like places that look bland and boring.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got what you needed! And yay to the rug brightening up the room.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to here you got a new rug to brighten up your house, Sarah. I hope the rain stops soon so you'll have another little thing to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteThank God for no flooding your way. Your pillow movie night sounds like it was lots of fun. Will you upload a pic of your rug? Writer’s Mark
