My washer connections are fixed! I have clean underwear and towels! It’s pretty lucky that the washer is working because my cat Chloe spent most of last night barfing on various areas of my living room. Cat barf is so gross. I was going to do a whole post today devoted to cheese grits, but after cleaning up 12,391 little piles of cat barf this morning, I just don’t have the stomach for it.

Instead, let’s talk about the awesome weekend I’m going to have. As I mentioned yesterday, my mom is coming in town. Our agenda currently consists of having breakfast tacos with the family on Saturday morning and then shopping at IKEA. Bad. Ass.

Mom has never been to IKEA, so I am super excited to take here there. Remember the first time you saw the wonderment of $12 lamps and $5 rugs that are ADORABLE???

Lest we get overwhelmed basking in the wonderment of it all, I have some parameters for the shopping to keep us on track. First, my apartment’s color scheme is

  • taupe gray (non-negotiable, since the walls are all painted gray)
  • bright white
  • tangerine
  • eggplant
  • citron
  • lemon
