collections that turn into my obsessions

i think i really need to go to AA
alphabets anonymous.
im getting a little out of control.
but half the fun is finding them!
the nest is from timeless treasures.
went there when i was in sf visiting dree.
and the rest are finds from etsy and ebay.
oh and urban outfitters.
and im not ashamed to say that more are a comin...






{see how nicely spaced the C's are so that there is room for more}

oh how i love my little guy...

im soooooo over vampires *warning viewer descretion advised*

i think the new hot thing in town is zombies.
thank goodness cause i done hate
edward, bella, and jacob.
sorry.
i know i have offended many with that comment.

redboxed zombieland saturday night,
then when i went to bed
i opened my book
and thought it was super funny
that im reading a book about zombies as well.
had a little overload of gore and guts.
im random.
i know.
{why is woody harrelson so rad?}

sounds of sunday

valentines sounds of sunday
here are my kind of love songs.
by one of my all time favorite artists.
you may think these are dumpy downer
love songs.
i dont.
i think they are realistic.
haha :)

enjoy!




While we're in love we'll bleed each other dry.
We'll hold each other close.
We'll make each other cry.
While we're in love we'll get what we deserve
Until we lose our faith,
Until we lose our nerve.

We know it won't last forever.
'Cause we're not meant to be together.
Make the best of a bad situation.
Face the fear and the desperation.
While we're in love.
While we're in love.

While we're in love we'll drag ourselves around.
We'll hold each other up.
We'll tear each other down.

We know it won't last forever.
'Cause we're not meant to be together.
Make the best of a bad situation.
Face the fear and the desperation.
While we're in love.
While we're in love.



I'm not afraid to start over.
It's just a feeling that we shared.
They can't take that away.
I'm not afraid to be lonely.
It's just a question of how long, how long I have to wait.

So one more last kiss like two prisoners.
One more last kiss to hold on to.
One more last kiss just to remember you
Before we fade away, before we fade away.

I'm not here making excuses.
But no apologies could change
The way this all will end.
We're only just what we're made of.
I'm only sorry that we can't have this chance again.

So one more last kiss like two prisoners.
One more last kiss to hold on to.
One more last kiss just to remember you
Before we fade away;
One more last kiss like two prisoners.
One more last kiss to hold on to.
One more last kiss just to remember you
Before we fade away, before we fade away.

on a different note.
i went boarding with my good friend jennie.
we had such a good time!
it was like riding a bike.
it took me about 2 rides to get the hang of it again.
then i was all about the front edge :)
jennie is amazing!
she kicks my butt and always has.
she was the one who taught me,
in high school, in good old rock canyon park.
we had way to much fun,
i really need to go more...

time for tea?

while the kids were with their dad
over the weekend i went to ikea
with my sisters.
and going to ikea without kids is the BEST!
EVER!
you can take your sweet time
and look at everything.
i got darby a new tea set and table
then set it up with some cake bites
the day they were coming home.
and yes had to take a billion pictures.
both darby and christian were so excited.
and we have had a tea party
just about every night.

and i thought it was sooooo good.
im such a nerd.
so in this song belle
they are all in love with esmeralda
and they are just singing their little hearts out
about it.
{here is the theatrical version}








garou is absolutely adorable
here here here are some super ultra cheesy vids
but you can close your eyes
snuggle up to that special someone
and listen to his amazing voice
or if you are in the boat im in

watch it by yourself and be perfectly content :)

staying classy with the classifieds

ive been looking for a big unique mirror
for a long time.

my price range.

{inch by inch}
but recruited help to hang it.
