My Least favorite words!

Day 6 : least favorite words

My View

Last summer, when we got word we would be leaving Japan, I began to start thinking about what I wanted in our next home. I was looking at the post from last July, and I wanted a porch, a big covered porch. Well I have a deck, a small deck but big enough for the two of us and a grill, and it's not covered, but we do have a garage, that is sort of like a covered porch, we can sit in it and watch it rain, and let the dogs potty in it when it's too cold to go outside or when it's pouring rain. One thing that I wanted but was willing to live without was a view. Today as I looked out my back door I realized I got what I wanted. I have an amazing view.

The pictures don't do it justice, I am just a mile or so from some beautiful rolling hills that lead into the mountins. You can click on the pictures to enlarge them.

Weekend Goals

List 5: Weekend Goals

These are my goals for the weekend, I know I have to work part of Saturday, and I may have to work Sunday so I may not get much done. But I'd really like to go to the Gem and Mineral show, I know it won't compare to the one in Tucson. The one in Tucson is huge, EPIC, I think it's the biggest one in the US. But it would be nice to get some pretty necklaces or something. Plus I think it'll be nice for Paul and I to do something outside of our routine. We have a habit of getting into a routine and doing nothing exciting or out of the ordinary for weeks. I like routine but you don't get much excitement there.

I also really want to go fishing, but we need to get our fishing licensees, and since we are out of state, but military and plan to become residences we have to go to game and fish, and they are only open M-F.

Todays Playlist

Day 4- Todays Playlist:

I just downloaded this album, I loved the music in the movie and it totally had me dancing in my seat. I can't wait to listen to it, I may leave for work early so I can drive around and grove in my car.

Things I am looking forward to...

Day 3: Things I am looking forward to

{picture taken in the snow for dramatic effect}

Last night Paul and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings, it's our date night tradition, we go and we have fried pickles and enjoy beers and play buzz time trivia. Last night was the first time we have gone on a Friday, we normally go on Saturday. It was weird the buzztime questions were of strange nature and in a strange format and we were lost and confused and sore losers.

Then we came home and watched our date night movie, 127 hours.

127 hours is based on the true story of a young man who goes out into the Utah desert for a day trip, he goes alone and doesn't tell anyone where he is going. Well the worst that could happen did. He fell and a rock fell and in a small crevice between two rocks he got stuck, his hand was smushed between a rock and a hard place. The movie goes on for the 127 hours he was stuck in the canyon and is quite dramatic and very sad. I cried at the end. If you know the story then you know how it ends, but I wont spoil it for you. It's a great movie and I am really glad we rented it.

Lists and movies!

30 days of lists, day 2

Things I am good at:

˚napping ˚not getting lost ˚knitting ˚making lists ˚wasting time ˚making a mess ˚cooking ˚making pico de gallo ˚sleeping in!

well that there is todays list, I am also already making progress on my 101 in 1001, I think so far the thing I am most psyched about is number 14, watch 26 movies I have never seem, each starting with a different letter of the alphabet (+ I am also going to do a number movie, because there are plenty of movies that start with a number not a word!) . Working in a video store makes this way more appealing than it normally would, but because knowing movies is my job, it's sort of like homework, plus I get a decent size employee discount!

My list so far:

#- 127 hours

A- apt pupil

B- burlesque

C- capote

D-

E-

F-

G- gummo

H-

I-

J-

K- kids

L- les miserables

M- my fair lady

N-

O-

P-

Q-

R-

S- Slumdog Millionare

T-

U-

V-

W-

X-

Y-

Z-

obviously I need to work on that list some more, suggestions?

I also need to work on my 101 list, if only I could use each movie for a goal, well I can, because it's my list and I can do what I want with it, but I feel that would be cheating myself.

I watched Burlesque today, and I liked it, I don't like Christina Agulera as an actress but I liked the movie. It got me dancing in my seat, and I loved the actors, the boy in the movie (I have already forgotten his name and don't feel like googling it) looks like Ryan Quentin from True Blood, he's hot. I may download, or buy the soundtrack because I really liked it. I've been sort of dancing around the house since I finished the movie, it really put a little grove in my step.

I've also got rented 127 hours and My Fair Lady. Both I will watch by sunday, so I am already well into working towards this goal!

now if i could just do my reading for school, but i need to make the pico for the taco salads we are gonna have for dinner! okay, i'll read a little first.

Two new projects.

I am going to follow Jackie's suggestion and do the 101 in 1001, the link is here.

I think I am also going to do the 30 days of lists, I like lists, and lists are fun. Ashleigh and Alyssa are doing the lists, too! saying the word list thirteen times makes it a silly word. silly silly word.

Day Thirty One (last day!)

Day 31- a picture of yourself.

I got my hairs did today. I love it.

Now that I am done with this challenge I have to find a new one! Ideas?

I was very productive today!

Before this room (the dining room) had the treadmill against the wall that now has the wine rack, and the dining table was just shoved aside and totally inaccessible and unusable.

I moved the treadmill to the living room and I love my dining room now. I got all the floors clean and the bathroom done. I've done much organizing in the living room too, but it's still not quite photo ready.
