2 The Menu {04.20.08}

Alright, I've decided I need to get back on track with some goals. One of my main problems lately has been time management. So my first step is getting our eating back in check, and limiting my trips to the grocery store. {Currently I go to either the grocery or to a restaurant to pick food up basically everyday after work.} My new EAT menu planner from Knock Knock was quite useful in planning out the week. Next, I went to Whole Foods and got breakfast and lunch for the whole week and dinners for three days. On the menu tonight was homemade hummus, pita chips, eggplant roll ups with olive tapenade, feta cheese, and lemonade. It was delicious!

0 Apartment Therapy Spring Cure {Lamp Search}

Ok, I realize that it appears that I haven't been participating in the Cure since I returned from my trips, but I promise I am. Since I have done the last two Cures on a budget, taking care of cleaning, purging, and organizing, this time around mostly involves purchasing. So, I have been trying to decide on a couple of items for the living room. Today I'm focusing on a floor lamp to go in the corner of the living room, next to the desk. These are the options I'm liking so far...

First Row: Ikea Lamp +Lumisource Tripod Floor Lamp + Target Drum Shade Tripod Lamp

Second Row: CB2 Tripod Lamp + West Elm Adjustable Metal Floor Lamp + Bauhaus Arc Floor Lamp
