Bloody Genious.

Piano Stairs!!!!!

found this on one of my favorite BLOGS >>> a cup of jo ...  GENIOUS! and im totally inspired to just paint stairs  to look like a piano! shout out to piano lovers i know: Dustin DeLeon and Nathan Walters!!

Want to get more people to take the stairs? Simply transform the steps into a step-a-thon piano! "We believe that the easiest way to change people's behavior for the better is by making it fun to do," says Volkswagen, the company behind the project. Genius.

Dear Autumn...

Dear Autumn,
I've realized that you are officially NOT good for my diet this time around. Are you trying to sabotage me?


Sincerely,
Concerned
(pumpkin photo cred: lifelovepaper)




Autumn 2009 is gonna wreck me (if I let it)...here's why:

totally killed one of these pumpkin cream cheese muffins from the BUX yesterday... while driving! No lie!


Then my sister and I proceeded to make this...

dont get me wrong! It was yummy! It's half ham (for my Daddy) and half vegetarian (for me) with tomato slices.

***For dessert, we had apple cinnamon Thera-flu LOL! I've had a sore throat bug for a couple days and my sister, Dani was starting to feel it too :(


This morning I woke up feeling a little better and I wanted something to warm my tummy and throat...

and what you see here is the SECOND round of whip cream... shameful!

But thanks Autumn... you've been cozy so far (minus the throat thing)!!!

Anyway, I totally feel like taking a nap right now but I don't think I'm gonna let myself. I know I have a long list of things to do! Procrastination taking over.

Arggh!

xo.

good morning.

hello all!
woke up this morning and the scratchy throat is STILL here! no bueno you guys! but thats okay because I am still keeping to the agenda. A little Bible study devotional. check emails. catch up on twitter. eat (shown above: mommys home so she made scrambled eggies and I inhaled them. thanks mom.) wrap packages. post office. buy some meds to kick this thing!


thinking of treating myself to some thrifting... no? ...yeah!

hey y'all!

(I don't really talk like that...and I'm not a crazy knife lady either. FYI.)

Vacation is officially over! We've got the store (eBay auctions) back up and running and etsy held us down while we were away having too much fun. Family came to the states from Germany and we had so much fun! I miss them so much already :'(

Here are some of my favorite photos from the vaycay...

First off we knew it was going to be an awesome vacation when we saw this on our drive to Vegas!!!

Then on arrival, we were greeted by this cutie pie while the others were watching The Lion King musical.

getting ready fro breakfast! Can't remember why everyone was laughing at me.

Breakfast pretty much looked like this for me everyday. I can NOT resist buffet oatmeal with brown sugar!!!
Yes, those are asparagus!

Fuzzy photo of my neice Christina at the shark aquarium. It was kinda cool.

The jelly fish were actually the best... IMO.

Ah yes... the photo they MAKE you take on arrival ......oh man.

Couldn't get enough of my little cutie pie nephew!!

The ladies lay out and Eric owned the wave pool!

Eric showin' off the skills!

Shopping on our way back home from Vegas... had to pose on the Ralph Lauren bed!

Couldn't leave the star of the show out... this was his "rarrrr" pose LOL!

Vegas, you were fun. Vegas people... not so much! We didn't care though cus we were together and enjoying it! Cali photos coming next!

XO tif.
