I was visiting one of my favorite people (favorite because she gives me free plants and stuff--and she's just an all-around sweetie), and I see this fabulous mission-style rocking chair in her garage.

land, ho!
Ah...the power of a comma...
Philly and I celebrated our 15th adversity day last month. Perhaps you recall last year when I posted about our 14th adversity HERE.
We went on an island vacation. Mackinac Island, to be exact. Now, before we go any further, I feel compelled to educate us. Even though it's spelled "Mackinac," it's pronounced "Mackinaw." It can be spelled either way, but it's always pronounced "awwwww." HERE is an explanation. Learn it; remember it.
There will be a quiz later.
Ever since seeing Somewhere In Time, I've wanted to visit Mackinac Island.
Do you love that movie too?

treasures and guilty pleasures
So, I spent my kids' inheritance the other day.
Sorry kids.
I was having trouble stuffing roadside treasures in the trunk of my car, so Philly bought me a Jeep. It's not like a JEEP Jeep...I won't be off-roading or driving through the desert and calling it a horse with no name or anything.
This is a Princess Jeep. I can start my Jeep from my cell phone while sitting on the throne. Or before I leave work. Or while sitting at the bar. Or on the throne at the bar. It doesn't discriminate.
I know...I'm sofa king spoiled.
But, more importantly, I can stuff all kinds of treasures in the back of it. It makes Philly so happy when I bring home other people's crap.
On the first day of owning my new guilty pleasure, we went shopping at Casa de 'Rents again. Remember when I got my trunk? Yeah, it's still sitting in the garage. I haven'tfinished started scrubbing it down yet.
Anyhooser, I scored my first hatchback treasure.

he likes it! hey mikey! {sofa table makeover}
Hey! Where've I been?
Well, I've been playing World Cup Soccer.
I've been walking on the moon.
I've been learning how to do DIY colon repair.
I've been making pizza.
Okay, that, I have been doing. I think the pizza gods have defeated me. I'm obsessed with Chicago-style pizza and I've made this twice and screwed it up thrice.
Only I can do that.
Do you ever have one of those CalgonTakeMeAway Months? I didn't even realize I needed one until I stepped away from the computer and ignored it almost completely for a month. I've been a bad blog friend though. I haven't been visiting you guys very much either. Boo.
I will be remedying that.
But first, a brownie. Because the pizza didn't make my pajama pants tight enough.
Anyway, I have a makeover to share with you. All I have is a crap before picture, which makes no sense, because I've had this sofa table in my possession for 15 years.
Phil bought it one day when I was twirling on the monkey bars on the playground at parochial school.
Creepy.
He fights with me tooth and nail whenever I want to paint anything. He's like Mikey. He hates everything {painted} (until he tries it).
This table has been on my radar pretty much from day one. Its time has come. (No apostrophe in its. Your punctuation lesson for the day.) It's means "it is."
And guess what?
HE LIKES IT!!!! HEY PHILLY!!
Here's the before. I've snarled at this piece of furniture every day for 15 years.
Pay no attention to the lack of baseboard and the overabundance of dust.

meat loaf, mickey mouse, and mustangs
I've always been a bit of a car girl. I blame my Dad for that. He taught me how to drive in a 1971 red MGB convertible.
Not ours, but mostly what it looked like:

me, myself, and chair
Me: Philly's out of town for a couple days. Should we get ourselves into trouble like we always do?
Myself: Ohhh....YES! What sounds good?
Me: You want to reupholster that chair, don't you?
Chair (in the distance): Oh, crap.
Myself: Ohhh....YES! What sounds good?
Me: You want to reupholster that chair, don't you?
Chair (in the distance): Oh, crap.
Myself: Yes, but I'm afraid.
