show {off} your shot

Hi Friends!  I hope you're not too disappointed, but I don't have a tip this week.  I got sick sick sick last night and while my tummy has finally settled down today I still feel like I got hit by a mack truck.  Oh, and did I mention that we got new carpet in half our house today (and the other half is happening tomorrow) and getting new carpet is basically like MOVING, because you have to pack and move EVERYTHING off of the old carpet. 

So I decided to take a couple (really bad) pictures and maybe apply to be on that hoarders show:

this was the upstairs hallway last night when we emptied all three kids' bedrooms into it

and this is our living room this night as we emptied the den and the coat closet downstairs into it

Just so you know, our new carpet is NOT pink (I told you, these pictures are really bad)!  It's a taupe-y brown frieze and I luuuuurrrve it. 

PS Who wants to come over tomorrow night and help me put everything back?

Moving right along, my fave from last week is from my seeeeeester, Clare, who blogs at this is me, getting a life (by the way, Clare hosts a new linky called Naked Sundays, which is not exactly what you think, but you should check it out anyway).  I love this shot she took at Pt Defiance Park.  The depth of field is perfect.  By the way, it's an amazing park, and you should totally come visit me so you can go there. 

Here's your winner button, Clare:
