Oy with the lighting already.

Anyone ever watch Gilmore Girls? It's one of my all-time favorite TV shows for so many reasons. It's so well written, Stars Hallow is super-cute, the townsfolk are such unique characters, and Lorelai is just so damn hilarious. Like when she spews out one of her many (many, many) one-liners, my favorite of which is "Oy with the poodles already!" And voila! Instant blog post title inspiration, courtesy of Lorelai Gilmore (well, really more Amy Sherman-Palladino, but same kinda thing, right?).

So anyway, remember last week when I posted about my new super-awesome-happy-time kitchen pendant lamp I snagged at Crate & Barrel Discount Heaven for only $30? Well, on that same trip I also picked up another pendant lamp - not as super-discounted ($90, down from $199), but still a lot more reasonably-priced than it normally is.

I'll post more after photos of the entire room once I clear off the table and make it look less like a dumping ground for groceries that haven't quite made it to the pantry and more like...well, a dining room. Be glad I spared you the mess that's currently on it - we're all recovering from a wicked cold virus that has left us with just enough energy to keep us, the cats, and our child alive and mostly sanitary, which unfortunately meant the house wasn't as...er..."neat" as it normally is.

Quite an upgrade, wouldn't you say?

Maybe I'll even name the new lamp, since, like Lorelai, I have a penchant for naming inanimate objects (like my computer, which I named Fiona because it's an Apple. Get it? FIONA APPLE?! I'm sooooo witty).
