Indian!

I was an Indian at a work meeting & I won a prize for my costume. I spent a total of $4 for the leather to make the bracelet.(There was a white feather stuck in it.) I used everything else that I had on hand. Sweet deal. (I posted my inspiration here.) I liked it enough to wear it again on Friday. Hopefully I can get some daytime pics then. Happy Humpday!

ps. The fiance has a droid type phone and I used the retro camera for these photos. It's fun to use, but competely confusing sometime because I'm used to the iPhone.

The Rest of the Story...

I posted of the rest of my photos from West Point Lake. I really like it out there. I'm bummed that the forecast for the next few days is stormy. I really wanted to hang out here while I was still in training. I love storms, but it's not necessarily the best weather for driving around in and sitting in a boring room all day. Sleep sounds like a better option. Oh well..Maybe it will be nice at my lunch times and we'll get the best of both worlds. Never know about the weather in the South. Anywho...HAPPY MONDAY!


I was in love with this! This washed up log has sprouts coming out of it. I would love a log planter. Sweet.

Orange!

Hello Friday! Despite some really boring training, this week has kinda flown by. The last two days have for sure. One of my friends and I just kinda took over training by asking questions and getting the whole class off course. It kinda became a game. Ooops! Where did the time go!? I ate really well both days at a homemade country style buffet! It was delish and I'm looking forward to training next week because I want to go again! Also I mention there is a lake (it's technically a state park type deal) a few miles from training. It's a sweet place to hang out! I am dreaming of reasons to return...like BIKE RIDES! I took a bunch of photos at the lake, but I was enamored by the orange jungle gym and the perfect light going on when we got out of training early today!

Yay!

Have a great weekend!

PS I don't recommend using the self timer to self portrait yourself swinging.

Absolutely inefficient!

Apologies.

My apologies for skipping out on Tuesday Treasures. Tuesday just passed me by. I have been at some super boring training this week & having to drive out of town everyday. Everything has kinda run together being out of my semi routine. Then I had this whole post almost finished and I accidentally deleted all but one of the pics I had put up. Frustration. I'm choosing my battles & this is not one of them.

The rest of the treasures I had for today can be found here.

The only thing keeping me going through this super boring training is counting down to lunch time because there is a sweet lake only a few miles from where I'm working. I plan to take pictures. It's so peaceful out there.

Indian Giver!

I may have to take back my bike obsession.

I have a feeling it's about to be a wedding obsession.

& by the way....

I kinda wanna be an INDIAN for Halloween!

*completely inspired by this photo

**feathered headband and moccasins(bedroom slippers!) for work! Sweet!

I'm engaged!!

The bf popped the question!

I had no clue he had all this in him.

He really pulled it off!

He even had shirts for the doggies & everything.

Obsessed!

My efforts have shifted focus. I'm the proud owner a bike & I'm in love. I love the adventure & it is something that the bf & I both really enjoy. Every day I want to rush home and ride! The weather is making it all the more dreamy. It's great fun. Girls from work also walk every night at a track & I do the three miles with them. Tonight I went by myself because I enjoy it so much & everyone else was slacking. I got some jogging and stairs in.

The photo is from my birthday in Portland, OR. I wish my town was a lot more bicycle friendly. I I really really really want to ride my bicycle to work a few days a week. It's not far, but the main road to get to my job is not safe. While riding my bike this weekend an older man on his cell phone thought it necessary to lay on his car horn because he got stuck behind me. I was angry. For the most part, people here don't realize bikers have the right of way. Hence the super douche in a hurry with his super important phone call trying to tell me to get off the road... He angered me.

I would recommend getting out and pedaling around in this favorite season of mine. There is plenty of scenery with the trees ablaze in Autumn.

Anyone Know of a Good Housekeeper!?

LIKE WHOA! Our home is starting to look more like a landfill. It's depressing. I'm not blaming anyone but myself for this one. I'm not up to tackling all this crap. I know if I spent the day cleaning I'd be alot happier about this place, but I'm just feeling like I want to & I don't have a parent around to tell me that it's not my what I want to do.

the dining room

My plan is spend 15 min every afternoon this week in full on clean up as much sh*t as I can as fast as I can. If I feel like spending more than that working on this project, then so be it. I doubt that will happen! Seriously.

the kitchen

and if the dogs would quit shedding it might feel like a miracle. ha.

Tuesday Treasures.

Hello Tuesday! My inspiration for today's treasures are sweet pale blue & green.

I loved this piece, especially the cute little hinges.

A sweet little pair.

They don't make any sense.

A pepper shaker & a sugar dish.

A sweet rusty scale.

I like these guys alot.

This is not vintage at all.

Just a sweet color combo that has caught my eye several weeks in a row.

Only the Best Month on the Calendar!

It is October & I'm excited! The October weather is in full gear and my windows are wide open letting it all in! That's my good news.

The bad news is as follows.......My body has been attacked by the sicky bug & all productivity has come to a halt! Complete stand still! I have however attacked all of my favorite TV shows via the internets & am completely caught up on all season premieres that tickle my fancy. The Parenthood being my favorite by far. I love the cast & the story.
