I’m starting a new category. It’s called “things that make me happy,” because so many things do.

Example: here is my sad, tired old ironing board. It’s a depressing shade of bluish purple that’s fading in spots.

Today while shopping at Sears, I came across a new ironing board pad and cover that was marked down to $13.99. I snatched it off the rack with the lightning-fast speed that can only be seen when a woman has spotted a bargain.

Look how well it goes with our super cheap bedding!! I tried to explain it to Husband, but he just rolled his eyes.  

BUT LOOK. It was simply meant to be.

It matches, but not too well. My favorite kind. I’m girlifying our bedroom, one step at a time.
