NEW MOON

This time I wasn't waiting for the movie to come out on DVD. I did the hour wait in line. I loved every minute of it!!! Other than the pig quealing sounds in "Bella's bad dreams" I thought it was great. Though the one thing that stuck out to me the most was the brilliance of how they zoomed through her "depressing" months and the song in the background. I couldn't get it out of my head. Sad song but very good in a strange way. I love it! So here's some juicy clips to Possibility by Lykke Li.

Hats are back!

I want this one!

A couple of weeks ago I went down to stay with my mom while Jarom, my Dad and the boys went to a football game. Just hangin' out was fun but what's a little "Mom time" without shopping? My mom loves to shop.

We headed to a little town much like Mayberry called Chickamauga and I'm not kiddin' around, this is a small little town where every body knows everybody. It's cute. It has cute shops. First stop, Galleries on Gordon. It's a big room with lots of booths of beautiful things you MUST have essentially. Then we headed to this cute, CUTE place called Peaches Fine Millinery (her sites not fully up and running just yet). The owner was as fun as the name of her store. She practically let me try on every hat in the store and even let me take pictures. I am convinced that hat wearing should be back in style. There were a few I was convinced could be worn anywhere with anything. There were all styles for all people/children. It was a great time.

Enjoy my many awkward poses.

Not my favorite hat. Make head look enormous. No doubt it would look very cute on a winter's day on the right shaped head. However, if I was in my cat suite, with fishnet leggings, and black heels I might could have pulled if off. I just hope no one would have to witness that!

Though I look like I'm a person completely lost in space I really liked this hat.

I felt just like Queen Elizabeth in this hat. It was not the least bit flattering on me but it was a must to try on. I thought it was beautiful.

I want to be in this video!

Making Progress

I don't want to think about how long it has taken me but it's getting done. That's what counts, right?

I've been working on my stairs and they are coming along. I still need to put down the polyurethane. I'm trying to decide how I'm gonna do this considering this is our only way upstairs. Can't say that I'm really satisfied with the turn out but I still like it better than before.

The before...way before...with carpet.

My decision to pull the carpet.

The ALMOST finished stairs. Jarom is really losing his patience with me.

The carpet on "the rise" at the top step drives me insane!!!! There's nothing I can do about that until we replace the carpet....hint, hint Jarom!

Thank You Mr. Bean

Thanks to Mr. Bean's Holiday movie (I think he's so funny) I was introduced to this beautiful piece. Though the movie is a comedy I actually cried when I watched the scene with the song. It was magnifique! The actual words are in Italian but the translation is a beautiful love song. (I'll post later.)
I have a little soft spot for a good opera song and I even have some of my favortie singers. You gotta have room in your genre for Sarah Brightman but I love Katherine Jenkins too. Here I've posted Sissel Kyrkjebo (Norwegian). Love her. Just watch and you'll see not only is her voice smooth and just right but she's beautiful all around. I enjoy watching her sing.

Came across this while searching for something else on youtube.com. I couldn't resist watching and now I'm gonna have to go rent this movie. A perfect chic-flic! This reminds me of my old friend Ji- Young. Enjoy the little clip.

...Scratch the renting I just watched the whole thing in 10 minute clips on youtube. Not that I really had the time to spare but it was just too cute. I always enjoy a good foreign film.
