Remember that? Shoot the cow. .. what a weird saying. I don't even know why I typed it, I was trying to think of a witty title for my post about finding the MOST BEAUTIFUL AREA RUGS ON EARTH, and wham, out came shoot the cow from my finger tips and a flood of memories from my pre-teenish years when I used to say that instead of swearing. . .I then fell into a good decade where my mouth should have been washed out with soap hourly considering the F bombs that were freely falling. . .I'm so glad to say that years ago I squashed the habit and only slip on occasion. . .whew. . the roads we travel. Swearing is a funny thing. .. now that I reflect, a lazy way to communicate perhaps. . .although I have to admit, hearing an unexpected, well played swear sneak out once in a while from someone who usually doesn't indulge in the practice throws me into fits of giggles. . ..on the contrary to hear it continuously flowing makes me cringe.
In the middle of the afternoon on Friday, Lisa (our rockin office chick, and yes, I believe she'd be o.k. with me calling her chick;) and I had a conversation about trying to stop saying "what the heck" because we were noticing our kids starting to repeat the saying. . .and it just seemed wrong to hear it coming from your 4 year old. . call me a prude, but there it is. We then discussed alternatives. . .one that has rolling around in my brain has been "what the knockers!" . ..cause it's just fun to say. . . not intending to refer to the female body part, but we both agreed that's kinda what came to mind. . ..and hearing that come out of a 4 year olds mouth wouldn't be any better. . .ohhhh the problems of the modern day mommy;) I guess "what the knockers?" is out. . ..any suggestions?
Man, how did this just turn into a weirdo post?
Here are the (insert booming voice here, followed by diminishing echo) MOST BEAUTIFUL AREA RUGS ON EARTH. . .EARTH. .earth. . .earth. .
This one is called Glimmer (aptly named cause considering they don't post prices on their website, the hope of it being in my price range of under $1000 is but a glimmer. . .) Fun to admire anyways.
Don't they just look like works of art? And although I once found a pretty cool way to replicate some toy boxes a while back. . .my rug weaving abilities leave a lot to be desired. . .
All I can say is SWOON + YUMMY x ORGANIC = these rugs!
Steppin out!
