futile attempts

living in a home where i'm the only female makes it very challenging for me to add some "girly" touches to the decor.  for example, there is a vase of silk flowers in the living room. they're actually really nice artsy ones except that more often than not, there's bound to be a plane, a rocket, or a bat on top of it.

last weekend i bought myself an earring organizer. you know, one of those pretty wired things where you can hang your favorite earrings.  the one i got looks like an ornate bench, and i fell in love with it so much! i placed it on my bedside table.
except now, it looks like this:


the boys placed that in front of the bench to "guard" my jewelry daw. 

why do i even bother, huh? it's a losing battle, i tell ya. =)

Ha ha ha, I can't help but laugh. Maybe you could hung earrings to its extended arms and put some necklace on its neck. Revenge! If you can't beat 'em, join them.
