sit back and take a load off

so sorry for the lack of posts - between prepping for a trial in federal court in a few weeks and the typical stress of being a working career woman/mommy to a wonderful on-the-move toddler, there has been little time to breathe, much less blog! (oh, and i **still** have not found a fabulous dress to wear to an october wedding on the beach - help, help, help!).

i'm feeling under the weather - at first i thought it was the seasonal allergies that hit many of us kentuckians so hard, but now i'm not so sure....flushed face? chills? achiness all over? yeah, i don't think those are side effects of exposure to ragweed and pollen, either.

i did, however, want to post and get your feedback on what i think is a cute foot stool from jcpenney, of all places.


it's from cindy crawford's collection (who knew modeling was sufficient experience to design a home line?), and i do think it's kind of cute - with a different fabric for the top, of course. maybe a punchy apple green. thoughts? be honest - i think two of them in our living room would be cute and at that price it's a pretty good deal, but only if they border more on cute than on tacky!
