Chickens

I'm making some drapes. For the dining room project. Which means I had to go to the best fabric store in Atlanta. But it was actually IN Atlanta, so we had to drive all the way downtown. I dragged my friend with me and convinced her that she should also make some drapes for her dining room! We pull up to this store in a somewhat sketchy part of town and what do we see....

Examine the picture closely. THOSE ARE CHICKENS. Yes, when we are walking in we noticed some chickens in the parking lot. Weird. Then when we walked out almost three hours later (they had A TON of fabric and it was tough to make a decision) we noticed these beauties eating the chicken feed placed out for them. Evidently someone at this store is feeding these chickens. And they are HUGE. Like probably the biggest chickens I have ever seen. They have clearly been living it up for a long time in this parking lot. Ahhh...only in Georgia!!

In other news. Ryan's tube surgery was a success. The worst part was having to keep him from eating all morning. After the surgery we could feed him and he quickly returned to his normal self!

UPDATE on the office dilemma. I would happily post some pictures of my office now but I am simply too lazy. It is cleaned out and organized!! Matt made me cave a buy a filing cabinet but I am going to use some of Ci's ideas for my day to day work stuff (thanks for all the sweet links Ci) We also moved the office upstairs and the playroom downstairs....it makes more sense and I'm not sure why we didn't do that in the first place.

LISA - WHY am I not there fabric shopping with you????? I obviously haven't scanned you that document yet. I also haven't finished the drapes for our office (that have been cut out for over a month) I remember I used to go into L.A. to the fabric district. Really sketchy areas where they take cash only and the workers don't talk!! HAHA. I loved it - full warehouses of fabric you could spend days! I remember having Erin in a stroller once and she started to get fussy, I was getting frustrated and then I realized I had been in the store for 6 hours. HAHAHAHA. I am eager to see the drapes.

lol...so funny...and SO glad those links helped. I am helplessly drawn to subscriptions of "design" blogs and browse through the 100 of them each day. It is almost calming, but takes more of my time than I prefer. Don't worry, I don't waste brain cells reading them, just use them for the pics...it's like a picture book for adults (my kind of book)!
PICTURES OF BOTH DRAPES AND OFFICE AND PLAYROOM REQUESTED....and your darling boy

If I had known you were going down there I would have warned you about the chickens!! There is usually at least 1 rooster and sometimes even a goat a little further down the road.... Yes in downtown Atlanta. I need to venture down there myself, but I can't seem to find the time to make this day trip!!
