Looking Forward To

Image
By
I'm sitting here on my couch enjoying the symphony of chirping of crickets and pattering of rain drops and I dare say, it is lovely.  The second I heard the the rain, I slid the window pane wide open so I could take in its delicious smell and soothing beat.  I love summer rainstorms.

I've been thinking the past couple days that perhaps I should add something to blog, but being a slower week, I haven't felt I've had anything "exciting" to blog about.  I've embraced this less exciting week.  Sure, there has been work and commitments, but it has been nice to have things slow down a little bit from full throttle crazy, which is how I've been feeling the past couple of weeks. (Oooo, I just heard some thunder rumble off somewhere in the distance.  This storm keeps getting better and better.)

 For the exciting section of this post, I'd thought I'd share a few things I'm looking forward to...

1. The weekend

Ok that was a given.

2.  This movie.  I should say, generally, I prefer reading books over watching TV or movies, because my imagination is that awesome, people. (Haha, kidding.)  I think it has to do with story development. However, I do enjoy when a good book is made into a movie and the story isn't botched up.  From this trailer, it looks like they are going to do a great job portraying The Book Thief, one of my favorite books.  (Thanks to my sis-in-law Sarah for sharing this on FB.)

3.  This series!  I've loved the BBC Sherlock series. So well done.  I'm looking forward to season 3, so I can have all my questions answered. Plus, it reminds me of England, just like rainstorms do.  And that is how I brought this post full circle.

    Funny, the kind of rainstorm you describe reminds me of Utah, not like the rainstorms we usually have here in Louisiana. I loved those rainstorms when I was younger, and I hope I will like the movie The Book Thief. I enjoyed reading the book and couldn't put it down, but now I don't even remember how it ended. Which will make watching the movie all the more enjoyable.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

By
I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue th...

Birthday Week!

By
This week is my birthday week, or should I say birth week.  However that sounds too much like birthing is occurring and that is not the case.  (Don't get any ideas, Danny and I have only been married for 5.5 months.)  Anyway, I firmly believe in celebrating birthdays for the whole week, because why not? Talena and I have a tradition each year that is the kick off for my birthday celebration.  You see, Talena and I were born 12 days apart.  On the midpoint day between our birthdays we go out to dinner to celebrate.  We always try to go some where we have never been before.  This year we went to the Citrus Grill, which was very delicious.  (Special thanks to Eliza for recommending the place.)  We had fun dining, laughing and sharing secrets, because that is what girls do. My dinner...doesn't it just make your mouth water. Talena Balena and Me. PS  We did have a funny little mishap with the dessert.  We got strawbe...

One of Those Nights

By
You know the time when you turn the corner too sharp and gouge one of your toes on the retro 70's border that lines your home and apparently you have really good blood circulation in your feet, because your toe starts bleeding profusely.  In an effort to stop the bleeding, you limp to the kitchen to grab a paper towel to clean up your poor toe only to track blood all over the carpet.  (But then, luckily the husband comes and helps clean up the blood trail, your sad, little toe and gets you a band-aid.)  So once you have recovered from your messy injury, your really nice husband makes you a smoothie to make you feel better, only for you to drip it down the front of you on one of your favorite shirts.  Yeah, it's been one of those nights.  Sigh. In other news, last week I went to the musical "Little Women" with Talena.  I wrote a review for the Utah Theater Bloggers Association, which you can read here .  It's been awhile since I've done any reviewin...
