I love the postman!

He/She brings me such wonderful things! 

My love and I are off to Ashland Oregon now, I'll post pictures and more when we get back

corners of my home

I thought I would give you a tour of some of my favorite spots and comers of my house. There are alot of things I don't like about my place, mainly the color of the walls but it is a rental so there's nothing I can do about it.There are also a lot of things that I love about my house, like the abundance of space!  Today I'll start with my bedroom and hopefully over the next few weeks I'll be able to take you through the whole house.

We finally went and saw Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. Both G. and I read the book a while back so when we saw the trailers for the movie we were intrigued. 

The movie was fun and very action packed but to say they took artistic liberties with the story line would be an understatement. Also I am starting to wonder if CGI animation hasn't ruined special effects. It seems as though now that they know the producers know that they can do anything they want to they feel the need to do just that for shock and awe value.  Over all I would give it a 7 out of 10 on my vampire movie rating scale. 

We saw it at the discount theaters in Carson City and I was impressed with the facilities. I used to work at this theaters when I was in high school and the building has gone through some renovations since then. They downsized a bit from 10 theaters to only 4, but these are of higher quality then they were when I was working there. Even though you have to wait a little longer to see the movie you want because of the fact that it is a discount theater it is well worth it. The two of us got into the movie and got treats for under $20! 

Last weekend another carnival came to the park next to our house and I took some pretty cool pictures that I forgot to post so here they are. 

One of the games was shooting zombies with paintballs! 

summer reading

so far doing good

How's your summer reading going? Have any recommendations? 

finished projects

I was in need of a jewelry storage solution so here it is

 An old frame and some chicken wire from the shed

A shelf , spray paint and some cup hooks

Had all these things on hand so I think I came up with a pretty resourceful solution.

How do you keep all your jewelry organized?

What a wonderful long weekend I had! Friday I spent a good portion of the day at the DMV, but the good news is that I have my identity back! Anyone out there who has ever been married or divorced knows what a pain the whole name change process is. It feels good to be able to use my maiden  name again, though it's going to take a while for me to get my old signature down again. 

Sunday my love and I made the trip up to Tahoe and thanks to a good friend of ours were able to ride the gondola up to heavenly ski resort free of charge! 

First there was brunch

French toast croissant! OMG the butter, flaky goodness, it was mind blowing!!

The gonadal went from state line up to the heavenly ski resort and it was a pretty steep climb. 

This just made us giggle so I had to take a picture and post it

The view of the lake from the top was amazing!

How was your weekend? 

Homework

First and foremost.....

Happy Friday the 13th!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now for my homework

This month the lovely lady over at http://gothicprofessor.blogspot.com

asked us to post about the things that we can't live without. This made me think about what's really important in my life and what I really couldn't do without.

These are my two favorite perfumes. The tall one is sensual amber and the little bottle is twilight woods. I absolutly love the way these two smell. I use the amber one almost everyday and the twilight woods one on special occasions. They're both from bath and body works, I even have an extra bottle of the sensual amber so I'll never run out unexpectedly. 

A few other things that I though of but didn't get any pictures of are:

                 -burts bees chapstick

                           -urban decay liquid eyeliner

                                      -my coach prescription sunglasses.

These are some of the finer things that make life bearable!
