New Music Tuesday!

by admin on June 30, 2009

Ok - So it’s not necessarily new to you guys, but it’s new for me :)

I picked up Brad Paisley - American Saturday Night, and Rob Thomas - Cradlesong, and last week I picked up Kate Voegele- A Fine Mess.

I think I’m one of the few who still enjoy going to the store, picking the CD up and bringing it home. I love taking off the plastic and reading the jacket.  I love CD’s and I won’t give them up. I buy occasionally from itunes, but I won’t ever give up a CD until I have to!

I love music. I love the lyrics, I love the calming it often brings me, I love singing in the shower, the car or whereever I can!

I’ve listened to Kate and Brad’s CD so far, and *thumbs up* for both :-)

I have some great stuff going on over at thin:dependence this month, so I wanted to pop in and say hello, but head back off to get the rest of stuff lined up for July! Happy Anniversary to us!

Flowers, Flowers, Flowers

by admin on June 26, 2009

I love colorful flowers. However our yard is a fabulous clay mixture that allows nothing to grow… And if it’s not clay, it’s brick that the people before us used to fill the yard. So as we’ve been here for two years, we’ve been working on some major revamping. Having hubby work at a company that grows and distributes flowers really helps ;-)

Last year we lined the front with hibiscus. This year we only did one side, 2 red, one pink (though I’m not sure the pink is going to bloom…).

Then on the left side (and up the side of the house) we’re putting in some perennials so that I wont have to bother with that half of the house anymore ;-) It’ll happen on it’s own every year.

We got a TON of bulbs, so we’re just now planting them, they’re due for late summer blooms…
We have Little Princess, Blue Sapphire (which also comes up as big blue if you search..) and Ember Ballerina.

Here’s some pics of what they WILL be :)

Ouch!

June 24, 2009

Two Sunday’s ago I woke up with an awful pain on my toe. It felt like it was broken, but I knew it wasn’t. I called a podiatrist on Monday, Tuesday went on antibiotics for whatever infection happened. A week later I go back, husband in tote because I knew the doctor wasn’t going [...]

New look all around. . .

June 22, 2009

I started this summer off with a new hair cut. I then felt compelled to rearrange my living room, then redesign thin:dependence, and now this blog is getting a facelift as well. What can I say? I like change lately!

Nothing exciting to report except that I leave for Florida in less than a month [...]

Motivational Poster

June 17, 2009

I’m always looking for classroom things (I know it’s summer break and I’m still looking, I accept it - I’m a nerd). Anyhow - I found a site where you can make your own motivational posters.

So check out Alissa’s photography - buy a picture or two and make your own Who [...]
