Into the wild

Ole! to you.

This is worth the time to watch. It made me a little teary-eyed because it spoke to me on so many levels this morning at 10 AM. Enjoy. (via bacon is my enemy)

This is one way to make money during an economic downturn.

Turquoise

Turquoise is both feminine and peppy. Somehow it reminds me of 1986, but it has a clean fresh ladylike feeling.

We're planning on a huge re-vamp of our bedroom this spring. This includes tearing out the lath and plaster on two walls and replacing with drywall, re-texturing, re-wiring, refinishing the fir floors (tearing out wall to wall carpeting), replacing a window and painting. I hope to collect some bedroom inspiration photos over the next few weeks to help make the the finer design decisions.

We have a ceiling fan similar to the one above now - somehow it's OK in this room, but I HATE ours. Unfortunately it's got to stay, and I'll have to somehow work it in to the room design.

Anticipation.

We have some huge house fixing planned for this spring. I just can't wait for the season to change (and to get our tax return). Tonight on my walk I could smell flowers starting to bloom, although I couldn't see them. Spring is getting closer by the moment. I just can't wait!

Oh my valentine.

Yesterday was a lovely day. Full of pink, hearts, smiles, and smooches. Hope yours was delicious and sexy too.

I've been uninspired of late and trying to avoid spending too much time on the internets (thus the sparse posts). Eventually I'll fall back into my old patterns and have something more to say.

Kauai was beautiful, relaxing, wonderful. I really couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable trip, even though it was short. It's coming back home that 's the trouble.
I'm trying to enjoy the wintertime, but that's proving difficult when it seems full of rain, snow, clouds, cold, grey, and sickness.
This weekend I noticed that there are hyacinth, daffodil and tulips poking through the ground. Finally. Spring is just around the corner. It's just a matter of making it through the rest of February.
