Before and After

Everybody loves a good before and after, right? Aren't make over shows the most exciting to watch? Aren't they what keep you sane when you are feeling sick and you lay all day in your cuddle bag infesting it with your germs?

Well- here is my own personal entertainment area before and after- with a bonus made-over couch.

COUCH: Before Blue... NOW brown.

Happy Christmas

Charlie Brown's Christmas



















Kajsia and Mike's Christmas


















Pretty awesome.

I had to add this

The award goes to?

NEIL!

Best concert in the world.
I should have made an award for that...

It doesn't matter how old he gets, he pierces an arrow straight to the heart.

Fav lyrics and songs include:(in case you were wondering)

I Am... I Said
I am i cried
i am said i.
and i am lost and i can't even say why.
Leaving me lonely still.

Forever in Blue Jeans
Money talks
but it don't sing and dance
and it don't walk
as long as i can have you here with me
i'd much rather be.
forever in blue jeans.

Love on the Rocks
Gave me your heart
you gave me your soul
then you left me lone here,
with nothing to hold
Yesterday is gone
and now
all i want
is a smile

You Don't Bring Me Flowers
Use to be so natural
talk about forever.
But "used-to-be's" don't count anymore,
they just lay on the floor
until we sweep them away.


What a tug on the heart strings.

And what big eye brows.
and hair.

I will always bring you flowers Neil.
and buy your concert tickets-
no matter the price.

VEGAS Adventures

in the car














With a snap pea.


Adventures on the strip mostly involved getting lost and walking around for hours -each of us thinking the other knew where we were going.

When we realized neither one of us knew- we walked back to the car (approx. 6 miles round trip)

But not before seeing some sweet flamingos,














a sad lion,



















Bellagio water show














EMILY's name at the M & M factory (she really is famous)
















and the biggest picture of Donny and Marie














... ever.

And so this is Christmas...

Teaser

Soon.... coming to this blog-

pictures and commentary of the: (in no particular order)
Condo
Wedding
Vegas
and Final Projects.

Near the end of DECEMBER 2008.... in theory.

But first i need to finish my homework.

Better Late Than Never-

Even though Thanksgiving has come and gone here is my late list of things I am grateful for: in no particular order well.... except the first one.

1. Mike- Friends, family.
2. Air conditioning on a hot summer's day
3. Heating/blankets- when it's cold.
4. My parent's having a 3 car garage which I benefited from while I lived there.
5. A stable Job not in retail
6. CANDY
7. Sales
8. People doing jobs i would never want to do, that need to be done like... chicken farmer.
9. Indoor plumbing
10. Other people's generosity
11. Computers
12. Freedom
13. Cookies
14. Love
15. Zippers- which should replace all creepy buttons used as fasteners- they are much more efficient in closing any space- since there isn't a breezy gap between zipper teeth. Nice and snug.
