This morning on my way to work, (Thursday) driving down Mckellips some guy smacked into me. It made a very loud crunch, as I felt his car bash into mine. All I could think was "I don't even care how bad it looks back there, all I know is that it's not my fault!"

(you would be thinking that too if you had my driving violation record.)

yes we were both ok. He was soaked with his coffee, and I had my slimfast all over my lap and steering wheel.

Judging by my pictures from my phone, I'd say that my car won.

His was pretty bashed. The funny part was when he was examining his car, he found deep scratches on the rims of the opposite side of the car that his girlfriend never told him about.

The moral of the story is, Don't go bashing your car into other peoples cars.

The end.

Hello there.

Over at my other blog I just posted another dresser I finished.

CLICK HERE to take you there to see it!

Or you could click on the Giant Button to the Right in case you didn't know how to get there.

Austa!

Vintage China Hutch

Hello All.

Let me introduce you to my newly finished, vintage pride and joy.

Sorry I forgot to take a before pic.

I finally finished her and got new shiny glass shelves for the inside.

If only, if only I could keep it.

Sadly I do not have space for her.

We will soon be getting a piano and this little wall

is the only possible place for it to be.

So to anyone who is interested in purchasing this china cabinet, Holla at your girl. (Shelbieclouse@yahoo.com)

It is a dark charcoal grey color with a smooth Satin finish. It has very subtle worn/aged look at some edges and corners but not nearly as much as the dresser below. (see previous post)

It has a light in the top to display your pretties ;)

It is the cutest little thing because it is small.

It doesn't take up a lot of space but it looks really elegant.

Here are the measurements:

Height: 71''

Width: 41''

Depth: 14''

Here is a detailed look at the bottom

To All Again-

I have a whole shlew of really cute vintage pieces of furniture that are waiting patiently to be refinished. Hopefully over the next few weeks I can finish a few of them. So make room for some stylish beauties in those houses of yours, and stay posted to see what new things I will have up for sale.

Gracias, DeNada & Porfavor.

Bueno!

Here is a dresser I just refinished. Its a creamy Yellow color with an Aged look to it.

Congratulations Scott!

Thank you so much for all of your hard work.

Thank you for seeing the big picture and not losing sight of

the goals you have set for yourself.

I'm so proud of you and I love you so much.

Taking a Hike

This weather has me on the fritz to be outside!

Our schedule at work has changed a little bit so I have Wednesdays off for a few months.

Here is a little glimpse at my recent Hiking adventures.

This is from today, we hiked the Paralta Trail.

We hiked Flat Iron a couple of weeks ago.

This is a picture of the final destination we were hiking to.

You could say I was living life on the edge.

Literally though,,

These are my stubby little legs dangeling off the edge. :

Me and Auntie Em just taking a breather.

Check that view yo!

This was Somewhere along the Salt River. Scott and I just drove out on Bush Highway and spotted some trails to try. It was a tough one though because on the way back we thought we were on the same trail but we ended up mountain manning it through the brush. Plus Scott's strides are Triple what mine are so I was pretty much jogging behind him through the weeds. It probably would have been very funny to see. I'm glad it was just the two of us.

The End!

Lost,

1. This week on Lost, I am so happy to have a major question of mine answered about the "voices". I was shocked because they claimed to answer alot of questions on this last season but seem to only be creating more.

2. WHATTHECUTTHA was Lurking on Libby's front tooth ? Did anyone else catch it? It was just for a brief second when she was talking to Hugo on the beach?

Well in case you missed it......

I love DVR.

Ok, When I was getting married, I thought I would be graduating to an easier last name. You see, Ervien had that i e in there together that I guess threw people off. In fact, some people even felt the need to add a G on the end. Makes sense right?

Not really but...

I never thought that Clouse would be 10 times worse, but it is. Nobody in the history of my marriage has ever spelled it right, (besides family members). It's ok. I've come to accept it. And the jokes about being Shelbie Clause are down right hilarious every single time.

Welp. This is the best one yet. I love it. and it makes me laugh everytime I see it. This is the reciept Scott got home with after going and picking up the pizza at Barro's.

Every Morning on my way to work, I eat a Cup of cereal. Today I had Special K with Red

Berries. Well, after I had been at work for about 2-3 hours, I needed to use the restroom. While glancing around,

This catches my eye:

If you look closely, you will see that it is a whole cornflake thing from my cereal that morning. But the funny thing is, is that my scrub top completely covers that part of my pants. I have no idea how it climbed up there, and stayed.

I got quite the laugh out my little friend all day long. (It doesn't take much to amuse me)

I showed everyone at work. They loved it.

It was stuck on there pretty good so I left it there all day to show Scott when I got home.

Just one whole cornflake. Not a little crumb,

one lonely piece.

Last week my Boss went to Hawaii. Boss leaving town = Me not having to work. So sad I know. Not Really. I love manditory time off work. What made the week even better was that I got to enjoy the rain. It was so nice to get to be at home during the day in my warm Comfy clothes , just doin whatever I wanted. When your at work all day, you don't get to see the rain, or enjoy it. You just have to drive in it, get wet enough to be annoyed, then glance out a window every now and then and wonder if its still raining. I loved the rain. plus,,, Rain here = 10 ft of snow at Sunrise!!! Whoot! Whooot!

I had a very pleasant week.

It consisted of Lots of painting,

multiple trips to Home Depot,

Watching American Idol auditions,

Lots of Begging Scott to help me put the hardware on my hutch,

Lost,

Learning how to use the nailgun,

Spending a whole day decorating cupcakes which was really addicting.

continuing Vampire Diaries and project Runway after driving through a Hurricane,

More begging Scott to help me put hardware on my hutch,

More Lost,

Smashing my pinky under a can at the Cannery and playin it off like it didn't want to throw the can across the room,

Standing there for a full hour trying to decide on what shade of paint to do my kitchen in. (not kidding a full hour. pathetic I know)

Making a very nice dinner 2 of the nights,

Getting Scott to help me put the hardware on my hutch! whoo hoo!!

Painting my kitchen, (no pictures yet)

Finishing my Hutch, (see it Here)

Hanging out with Friends and playing games,

Sleeping in on Sunday before church at 1 :30 which I absolutely Love! you heard me. I love the 1:30 time slot. Plus I had to enjoy my last day off.

For the first time after a long break, I didn't completely dread going back to work. I felt very very rewarded by the week I had. It seemed very long so I am grateful. I feel like I got to accomplish alot and relax. I had a wonderful week. :)

Two weeks ago Scott and I loaded up and went to Utah for a long weekend. We went Snowboarding at Brighton on Friday, then we went to Solitude on Saturday. It was alot of fun. The mountains were so pretty all covered in snow. We stayed with my grandparents in Provo and it was nice to get to visit with them. I enjoyed the really cold weather up there. It felt so Christmas-y there because of all the snow and the Christmas lights. It was a nice little Vacation.
