Creating beauty out of chaos and sharing my home decor stories

Under the Weather Diversions

I am sick today.  I had one very strong and delicious margarita followed by a weak hurricane at last night’s cookout and they did me in.  No idea why, but my digestive system is abjectly opposed to all forms of alcohol.  It goes straight to my head and then straight out my….  Well, let’s just say that it acts as a superlaxative.  You’d think by now I would learn, but apparently I’m not that smart forever optimistic that this time will be different.  It wasn’t.

So, since I was up all night in the bathroom, I had plenty of time to divert myself with nonsense.  Just in case you want some nonsense to divert you from your fireworks and festivities, here are my finds.

1. Ikea Name Generator (found via How About Orange)  If you’ve ever giggled over the crazy Swedishesque names Ikea comes up with for their items, this site is for you. Go ahead.  Enter your name and see if you are a dresser, end table, or bed.

2.  Determine Your Decorating Style by Ethan Allen (also found via How About Orange)  This is a fun quiz which shows you which category of Ethan Allen finds you fall into.  I recommend taking the quiz a few times to determine your “true” style.  I came up split between Loft and Villa.
3.  MYO Fondant Baby Shoes Make It and Love It gives a great tutorial on making marshmallow fondant baby shoes!  I wish I had a baby shower to decorate for.  These are A-dorable.
4.  Black Heels to Tractor Wheels  Many of you follow Pioneer Woman and have been raving about her for years now.  I hadn’t drank the koolaide on this one until last night.  If you want a steamy love story, I suggest reading hers!  Rumor has it that her story will be turned into a movie and that Reese Witherspoon may play the part of Ree!  I loved Reese in Sweet Home Alabama can picture her doing a fabulous job in the part.   

Okay, I’m still sick and haven’t finished my Ree meets Marlboro Man saga, so I’m going to run!  If you have any interesting links to share with us, please do!

  3. Oh…sorry you have been sick. I don't drink hardly ever, and when I have more than one…I pay. It just doesn't sit well with me either.
    Feel better.

  4. Sorry you're not feeling great, Beth! That's no fun.

    That Swedish Furniture Name Generator cracks me up. Too funny!

  5. Bummer you are sick! I have to go check out those links though, they look fun!

  6. Yes, I've found that my body has rebelled against alcohol as well. I'm okay with a couple of glasses of whatever that is mild {like wine or vermouth} and that's it. Hope you are feeling better, Beth!

  7. Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. Drink lots of water!

    I took the Ethan Allen quiz and I got Villa the first time and Loft the second. So I decided to take it a third time (hehe) and I got Villa again. 🙂 Fun quiz, thanks for sharing.

  8. Beth,
    Hope you are feeling better. Looks like you turned your negative into a positive and found some fun sites! Thanks for sharing them with us! Can't wait to take the Ethen Allen quiz!
    Hoping tomorrow will be a better day!

  10. Aw, I'm sorry that you are feeling icky! 🙁 How about I go check out some of your distractions? Would that help? tee hee. Feel better, girlie. Get some sleep, and lots of water.
