Nellisms & Life

I Do like the purple cabinets. Its different and warm. But I would like a darker shade with more blue tint.

HOW can you not like this chair??  A MUSIC note!!!  No one may EVER sit in it. But it’s cute. This chair is awesome. I wonder if it really would hold up though???  What if the string broke? You will see a LOT more red in this post I am having a love affair with red. I hope it never ends. I like this room. The layout. The space. All of it. It would look awesome with a splash of color! Like the green chest of drawers a few pictures down.  Very sleek. I do like this bookcase. it’s odd, but functional. I think this rocks!!! I”m not sure if I would do a WHOLE room in it. But one wall  OR AROUND a center piece OR like a checker board!!!  You could paint the squares a different color. I think that would look AWESOME.

This is one of my favorites! It’s classy and funky!!  I love the design, the old world feel and the modernized color and gloss. Ok. Our bedroom wall is slanted and I”m either going to paint it or hang a sheet like this… I can’t decide. I could do both… Like paint the wall a deep color and hang a sheer flimsy cloth.  I think it adds a touch of whimsical romance. What do you think ??THIS is incredibly romantic and if I could figure out HOW to do this at my house I would do it!  I kinda would like to because our room is large and I think it would block off the bed from the rest of the room. I can’t decide. Help!! Talk about a downpour!!!! I don’t know if I like it YET!  Definitly NOT that ugly chair or the sparsly decorated bathroom. What a waste!!  But the tub and shower part is kinda neat. .. But wouldn’t water get  EVERYWHERE????  I don’t think it’s functional … hrm. Welcom back to the 80’s!!!!!  I am in love with this invention!!!!   It twists, It goes straight. It glows. It doubles as a coffee table.  How COOL. I very much like this wall. We have a black and white picture that quite large.  Its above my bookshelf. I think that wall would be very intriguing if it was red.  BUT I also like the writing !! Although I have NO idea what it says….  I love red.I”m totally into this room EXCEPT it needs more color and little bit of plushiness. I”m not sure where. But the basic idea is good.OMG OMG OMG OMG OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMMGOMGOMGOMMGOMG nuff said. I REALLY LIKE THIS ONE TOO!!! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG … You get the picture?? this is ok. but only ok. I”m not sold. NOT when you have divine works of art like above!This is a very romantic room. I could do the bottom walls, but maybe not the ceiling. .. hrm. ? This is nice. This is too modern for me. But I could work with it. It’s very clean. I like the clean lines, I like the hangy ball thing. And as much as I lOVE red. this room needs MORE color. green or purple or blue???   DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW MUCH I LIKE TO TAKE BATHS?????? ?  THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!

SO !!! These are a few pictures of things that I like. Not that I can currently afford any of it. BUT I can dream. And look for cheaper versions of things.  I know I have very weird taste. But I LOVE COLOR!!!  Basic colors of course are black and red. Then just accent with odd pieces.  I can’t ever make up my mind of what I like!! Colonial, Old World, Modern, shabby chic, Glamour, chinese looking stuff.  I like it all!! So I’m not going to pick any ONE style!!  lol. I hope it looks good.  Anyways enjoy.  I will add more over time. If you want to see some incredible stuff go to www.freshome.com.  AWESOME.   Some stuff is totally useless and stupid. But some is incredibly innovative.  And LEAVE a comment if you look!!

Well ! Today has been extremely eventful!! NOT IN A GOOD WAY.  I got woken up by my husband, ” Danelle wake up your grandmother just had a heart attack” !!!! Which just about gave me one.  After bugging my mother every other minute…. She assured me I did not need to come until Grandma was out of surgery. So I kept my previous plans, which was to go shoot guns with my father in law and hubby!!!  At first I was VERY SCARED!!!! When I was a kid, dad used to take Than and me down to the Red River to shoot 22’s.  I liked that but I had NEVER shot a rifle before!!!  I thought that the kickback would hit me in the face! The first time we got to shoot I didn’t hit the target ONCE!?!?!??!?! Can you imagine??? WELL my fellow shooters FORGOT to tell me that I was supposed to put the target on top of the little stick thingy… I had been getting the black thingy right in the exact middle of that hole thing… But NOONE told me it was supposed to look like a lolly pop!!! Well, once I found out that part, I HIT THE TARGET!!!!! YAY!!!!   I didn’t get to the black part, almost though!!  I got to the 8 circle like a half inch from the black nine circle!!! yay!!  So now I’m hooked! I want to go back next week.  But I would rather shoot a pistol.  OK!

So AFTER that I met my family for lunch. It was so nice that Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Bobbi were there. Or as I sometimes say .. Aunt Jimmi and Uncle Bobbi. lol. oops.  We had a good lunch. It was good to see Grandpa laughing.   And of course the rest of us were laughing, how can you not when Gary and Randy are there. And Nathaniel. lol.  Then Matt, Than, and I went to see grandma. WOW!!! I was NOT expecting to be so upset at seeing her like that. It brought back WAY too many memories of my other grandparents. I miss them terribly and can’t imagine losing what I have left.  But she was in REALLY good spirits and she was being quite hilarious, as usual.  I already told her that I am cooking every single one of her meals for the next however long it takes for her to get back on her feet!!! I am a good cook too!  So after Grams started worrying about how she looked I started feeling better. She’s so cute.  Some people say we act a lot alike. I could only be so lucky.

Really weird post I know.  But these are the things that happened today.  I know that hitting the target isn’t important compared to Grandma having a heart attack and surgery. But I had to fit it in there somewhere!  I hope all ya’ll are well, and NO MORE HEART ATTACKS ALLOWED!!

Well I guess my header says it all!!!! I’ve been cooped up in my house for a week!!!!  The first 3 days I could’nt move that well. lol.  I of course didn’t listen to my husband and tried to clean around the house and that only aggravated it…. but for the last 2 days I’ve done basically nothing!!!  And I feel really good!! yay!!!! Inj a hour or so my father in law is going to come over and hang me some shelves!!! I’m very excited about this, because 2 are going to go in my laundry room. And the other two prob in the restroom. I really need them in the laundry room to fold clothes on and stuff. I HATE bringing them upstais and folding them up here. I know I’m weird. But sometimes I get busy doing other things and they just stay there. SO, I’m excited. Also <<<<<< BIG BREATH>>>>>>  My landlords said I could PAINT!!!! Yay!! Yippee!!! Woo Hoo!!!!  NOOONE and I mean NOONE should have to live with pale stark dull walls !!! Unless thats your choice… But I like color!!! I’m very excited about this. Mom and I are supposed to go look at colors soon. AND I went online to home depot and found this amazing spigot…  For my kitchen. Because the spigot is so low it hurts my back to wash dishes.  And the water gets on the cabinets, I don’t like it.   It’s only like sixty dollars.  hmmm….

I really want to keep the house victorian… So I’ve been looking at magazines online and printing off the colors and rooms that I like.  Vintage colors, rooms… And the handles on the cabinets… stuff like that.  I really like the modern look too, but I can’t really do that here. I don’t think.  I might try and combine the 2 looks.  If any of you guys have good websites that you like, let me know.   I’m really loving pier one and cost plus world market.   You know those round chairs with the cushion on top????  And there never really big enough to curl up in unless your a kid…  Well NOW at pier one they have one of those chairs thats DOUBLE size !!! I can not tell you how long I’ve just stood there and drooled at those chairs and they have theses AWESOME trunks and candles and scented oil…  And this AWESOME armoir… whew.. I also like Anthropologi and Urban Outfitters.. They have some very cool stuff.  One day I’ll have it all. Right now I’m very content to look.  And if any of you want to buy me a house warming gift….. lol. jk.  Unless you want to. So as you can tell, I’m very excited about this. I’ll try to post pictures of things I like.  If I can figure out how to do it.

Byyyyyeeeeee

So the other night, friday night we had REFUGE. It was incredible.  And I was fine. But on the way out the door, all the  sudden my right shoulder and neck started to hurt. THEN by the time we got to the house, I could barely get out of the car!!!!  I asked Sis. Tena if I could have injured myself at church. Because I kinda was out of it.  She said I was laying at a odd angle for a long time. BUT still, I’ve never gotten hurt during church. This would be a first.  I must have twisted a certain way or something. My dads theory is I’ve been super tense moving into the new house. Moving boxes etc… then now that I’m moved I relaxed.  Which is true. BUT still!!!  I’m in pain and I don’t like it. AT ALL!!!!!

I did go to church yesterday though. And for a while I felt better.  Thank God.  And I thought when I woke up today I would be miraculously healed.  I was’nt.    The worst thing is, I am NOT GOOD AT DOING NOTHING!!! OR ASKING FOR HELP!!!! HELLO!!!  If any of you know me, you know I HATE asking for help!!!!  So you can imagine how much I hate asking Matt to help me get dressed. Or someone to fix my hair. This is insane and if you can’t tell, I”M VERY UPSET BY THIS!   Matt has told me that when he pulled this muscle, he was down for a week. Well, I’ve been telling myself that THAT is not a option. However my body is NOT listening.   I can move my neck sideways today though!! yay!!! I still can’t move it up or down very well.  From my hairline down to my right shoulder, down to the middle of my back… oh agonizing pain.  AND I have a BIG pain tolerance.  So Vday wasn’t as romantic as I had wanted it to be, on account that I could barely move. So Matthew cooked a wonderful dinner of fajitas. Yum!  We still had a good day.

Ok. So this is a very selfish post, I know. But I feel better.  Oh and  I upped my dosage of inflammazymes so maybe this will go away really fast.  I’m hopeful.  Cheers!

Today I woke up at 5:30…. thought “Oh this is too early” went back to sleep till 6. Yay!  I was happy when I got up, opened up some windows to let the cool morning air filter it’s way through the house.  Omar brought Matt and I some gluten free pancake mix ….  I wasn’t too sure about it.   But I wanted to try it. So I mixed it up and did a trial pancake to make sure I had the correct temp. And I have to say. They were good. So we had a good little breakfast of pancakes and fresh brewed coffee!!! At 6:30 in the morning!!!!!! OK !!! This is becoming  the NORM!!! At first I was like, WOW whats happening to me??? I never thought I was a morning person ~~~ But lately I”m loving getting up early in the morning.. watching the sun come up, making breakfast.  lol. Who would have thought. The only thing is today I accidentally made the WHOLE box of pancakes !! lol. So I just made them and am freezing them. I hope that works out.  Then after Matt left for work I thoroughly cleaned and scrubbed the kitchen! Swept, swifted, did all the dishes. It looks to good. I don’t want to mess it up.  Now I’m washing clothes. I think I’m gonna make Wednesday my “clean” day.

I also figured out that I really like to pray in the morning.  Not gut wrenching intercessory praying.. Just starting out the day prayer. Hey God how are you today?? I”m good. What another beautiful day. … that kind of stuff. Plus, I’m leading worship tonight and I’ve already prayed about that too. I’ll pray some more later too. lol!  So I feel good. My spirit feels good. My home is looking good. I feel like I”m getting a lot done. Even though we have a lot of clothes to wash. Ugh. It’s not my favorite thing to do, but dedicating one day to do the bulk of it really helps. Then I just throw a load in here and there. I am LOVING having my own washer and dryer!!!!

I am in DESPERATE NEED of curtains!!!!! Right now I have blankets NAILED to the wall so people can’t see in my house!!!! LOL  it probaly looks SO ghetto from the outside!! I’ve been looking online and I know what I really like, so I’m trying to find something on sale. I’ll see if I can find some pictures for ya’ll to see.

Right now I’m in heaven. Blogging, listening to Bill Gaither Radio, drinking a cup of coffee. lol.  Hope all ya’ll have a great day too.

Well, It’s been two days that I’ve barely set foot out of the house. It’s like 5 in the morning and my fever finally broke. Thank God!!! No more sweats or chills or just miserableness.  So since I’ve been sleeping almost around the clock for 2 days I can’t make myself sleep. I am making some sleepy time tea, hopefully that will help. Matthew said when he came home he prayed for me with a annointed prayer cloth. I’m believing that thats why I feel better.  So hopefully I can get my house finished since I’m feeling better.  All the boxes are emptied. Most of the pictures are hung up. I need a frame for our wedding picture… I found all my missing decorations!!! I have all the things sorted out. Books, clothes, miscellanious stuff. I’m planning on having a garage sale, hopefully this saturday.  I have done so much laundry !!!! But I’m not complaining. I love having it right here in my house.  Well my tea is boiling.  Ya’ll don’t get sick! I know the flu is going around.. or something… bleck.  I’m going back to bed.
