dust devil recovery mode

We have been working on our backyard a lot lately, since the weather out here is so nice. The plan is to make it an extension of the house 8 months out of the year. Most recently, Craig built a deck, and we both planted re-tipped photinias, herbs, and lavender. But what we did not count on was a mini- tornado (aka. dust devil) blowing through our yard lifting up our new umbrella, table, and chairs up over our brick wall - with a crash landing in the neighbors driveway. Ouch! The umbrella is Ka-put (yet already replaced) and the table, luckily had only scratches. But still, this puts the backyard into recovery mode. If I had the cash to due everything in one shot here are some things that would create my ultimate dream oasis:

currently obsessed with;

I don't know why but I am totally obsessed with cattle skulls and tepees, lately.
I am still on a search for a set of horns to put in my bedroom.
and I have a secret plan in place to construct my own tepee during the summer.
Craig will try to stop me- seeing that I am crazy-- there is no place to put one, and really?!
Yes, really. Just imagine it--cozied up with pillows and a glass of wine.
Anyways, I'll make it portable so as not to deter our new neighbors from thinking me a nut.

Re-vamp loved ones in 3 easy steps

Craig has always said i look like a young Diane Keaton
All things considered Craig already has a similar outfit to Dan Aykroyd.

I love my husband, and I personally, think he has a great sense of style. But any attempt I have made to 'dress him' has resulted in utter failure. Goodbye cardigan. goodbye v-neck tee, goodbye slim fitting jeans. However, I love http://nerdboyfriend.com ! Maybe, if I can convince him that he'd emulate one of his favorite icons...just maybe. I mean Craig does look really hot in a suit ( it was all I could do to get him in one for our wedding)!
