Rainy Day and So Much to do...

It finally rained today. Like, full on, drops of rain. I was so excited. I love rainy days. I hate how seldom they are here. And definitely no thunderstorms. Who would've thought I would miss thunderstorms? I was always afraid of them when I was younger, but now I kind of enjoy them. I would've loved to have spent this rainy day drinking coffee or tea and watching movies or reading... sigh.. but alas I actually had things to do. Dang it! My house had gotten to the final realm of sty...so it had to be cleaned. :/ Stupid house. And I had...

So Self-Sufficient...

I don't know what it is, but my husband and I have been sort of in a "self-sufficient" mania. I blame this woman I follow on Tumblr. She posts a lot about raising chickens and making your own furniture and other fascinating things. Basically, because of her, we've decided we're going to get chickens when we move next. How random is that? How cool is that?? For now, though, this has inspired us in other ways. For example, I found a recipe to make Larabars(which I love because they're completely natural and tasty) that I had wanted to...

Spring Cleaning...

With Spring getting nearer, I've been contemplating revamping things in my life. Usually, when a new season comes I want to get a whole to wardrobe. This year, though, I'm pretty happy with my spring and summer selection that I have. I mean, tank tops and shorts are staples every year, right? So this year my plan is more to replace items that I have. I have a lot of tank tops that are just past their prime and it's time to replace them. Luckily, I work at Old Navy where basics are cheap so go me. Here's the list I have so far of what...

Love Is All You Need...

Yes, it's Valentine's Day. That day of the year everyone seems to have a love/hate relationship with. Usually, if you're in a relationship, it's a fun and romantic day to spend with the one you love basking in each others' loving gazes(and getting showered with flowers and chocolates). If you're not, then it's a stupid holiday that only idiots celebrate and don't even acknowledge it as a holiday but just another day in the week. Whichever side you land on this year, I the idea behind the day is nice. I mean, I know you should...

Don't Always Believe What You See...

I have a confession: I am so unbelievably behind on this photo project. Like two weeks behind... It gets to a point where you wonder if it's possible to catch up. But I have a plan. I'm going to schedule a couple days of five prompts a day. Hopefully it will help me catch back up. But I admit: Epic fail. Anyway... here are some pictures I HAVE taken. A couple of weeks ago we decided to go on another one of our photography adventures to the beach. Everything seems like a good idea in theory. This was not a good idea. It. Was. Freezing....
