Coffee Table Capers

Ok, so there's really no 'caper' involved, I just thought it was a cute title. Last week I found the most amazingly sweet coffee table at the DI (we had been looking for one) for only 15 bucks!! However, a sweet ghetto coffee table just wasn't enough. We wanted to paint it and then splatter paint it! So I went out and got the sand paper, base coat, some brushes, and a finishing coat from Lowes. Today was the base coat day so I sanded down the table myself and then Sarah helped me paint it black. I'm planning on buying some colors for splatter painting today and we plan on doing that part of it outside next weekend, and then adding our finishing coat! Here are today's picks! It seriously looks great!

IHOP's Free Pancake Day!

As a college student there is one golden rule that I've learned you NEVER mess with: Never give up free food! Therefore it was a necessity that my roommate, our friend/RA, and I attend Free Pancake Day at IHOP this Tuesday. Everyone gets a free shortstack of pancakes and then they ask for donations to the Children's Miracle Network. Sarah and I of course brought our cameras. We didn't have time to do it until night. Jessie had Symphony til 9:30, so Sarah and I got there early so we would make sure we all got our pancakes. Sarah and I goofed off until Jessie got there, lugging in her cello because it was too cold to leave it in the car. She had been in such a hurry and so excited to get her pancakes, she hadn't noticed the big mud hole until she stepped in it. It was evidently 'sick', and so she had to clean out her shoe while waiting for her pancakes and, since her sock was also sick, went around wearing only 1 sock the rest of the day haha!
