Hearts & Stuff

I may throw a Valentine dinner party & I loved these glittered hearts.

Aaron and I have been drawing a lot lately and have been into crafts.

I can't stop spray-painting things like this blue candlestick.

Oatmeal Choco-Chip Cookies

Life is so confusing.
I made cookies and accompanied them with a glass of milk.

I was hesitant at first, but I have joined Twitter.

When All Else Fails, Simplify

Instead of making a long list of goals which I will inevitably break--every New Year, or often season, I try to simplify my life as well as my home.

When the Christmas decor is gone, I delight in purging old stuff that I don't need or use. I also like to reinvent my living space by switching artwork, vases etc. Everything feels shiny, new and invigorated.

A good bathroom scrub-down always helps as well.
A bath with incense or candles is most inviting with a sparkly tub.

Kids Are So Weird

My four year old at work made up a "game" today which didn't involve any logical rules-- of course. To play, one must only adhere to the game makers wishes. (Typical)

The best part though, was the title. I think it would make for a great song or book title.

"Cat & Handstand"

(The game had absolutely nothing to do with either)

Desk Top As Art / Crazy Cat

We haven't gotten around to framing any wedding photos so I just put one on the computer desk top. I added a Tiffany blue background to feel a bit extravagant.

These carpet squares in the kitchen usually stay together but tonight the cat catapulted himself through the house at lightning speed.
Shortly after he scattered the carpet, he leaped into the tub where he devised his attack.
2.5 minutes later, his attack was successful as he grabbed the leg of the unsuspecting Aaron.

Retro Thrift Store Christmas

Most of my decorations were found at the thrift store.
The pine branches in the vase are real from the driveway. I was craving fresh greenery and wasn't in the mood to shop. (Note-Next time use gloves)

I recently bought the white side tables at IKEA for $13 each. I love them--They are so light you can move them easily.

The small lamp in the last photo was an inexpensive purchase from IKEA as well.

Hehe- I just noticed the funny article title on the 5280 cover. "Why Coloradans and Texans just can't get along."
