Beach House - Other People
Other people want to keep in touch
Something happens and its not enough
Never thought that it would mean so much
Other people want to keep in touch
I LOVE BEACH HOUSE!!! And I can't believe they are opening the Twilight Concert series this summer! It's like the universe heard my wishes all winter. July 5th people. Pioneer Park. Be there. I'll be front and center getting my Beach House cherry popped, and I can't wait.

Chive Lover
I'm discovering how beautiful veggies and other garden edibles can be when you let them flower. I'm getting pretty excited to see my artichoke bloom, they look like a giant purple thistle!

Spring Biatch
I'm so excited that its spring. That means free fresh flowers for the picking, and for my table.

new shoes
I used this Bif Naked song "Tango Shoes" for the music to my high school fashion show back in 2003. And listening to it again, it hits me in a whole new way.

my new A.M. routine
I've never been one to take kindly to medicine. But in my old age comes new ways, new wisdom.
And I'm feeling better than ever.

Yes! Fifty Shades!
Before even finishing the first installment, Fifty Shades of Grey,by E.L. James, I had already pre-ordered the next two books in the trilogy, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed. I cannot wait to devour this delicious mix of pleasure and pain. I surrender, Mr. Grey!

Verona
My sister who runs Wet & Rusting, (a music blog on facebook), shared Geographer with me. It has been on constant play for a week. I love it when a band hits you hard, and every song gets better with each listen. Like Verona, not an initial favorite, but now I can't get the lyrics out of my head.
You call me all the right words
But the right words sound so wrong
You say that I'm changing
I guess I will before too long
Will you give me a way out or a past to live down?
Even when it couldn't be worse, it is now

spring in the kitchen
I love these branches instead of traditional flowers. Grab and go from Costco. I love the simple things in life.

the wiping disease
I used to hate cleaning. Now it soothes me to scrub. I love using Pledge Multi Surface beacuse it's perfect for my ADD cleaning style.

taylor's dress
Taylor gave me this photo to use as the inspiration for her dress. I think its absolutely beautiful although we are going to be changing a lot, like the sleeves and fabric, I love the natural waistline and elegance.

At one ness
I can't believe that a year later I'm still trying to clear through the clutter in my life. Computer files, basements, backyards, sheds, studios, bedrooms, closets and cats...
I've been living in the in-between.

button button
I had to organize my buttons. Size, color, project, style. I have quite the assortment. Besides jars they are my next favorite item to hoard. Especially because they are little so they take up no space!

This video came on my facebook feed today. I normally don't pause my own tunes to listen to a new song, but the title alone got me. And oh boy! I was pleasantly surprised. Love this jam.
