Bring me to Life!



No this isn't a depressing post...it's week four of my life without computer or internet.....Oh, yeah! Forgot to tell you...I cancelled my internet subscription as well....it never worked...and I was paying almost $60 to rent a modem and for the actual service

Fail.....

BIG time!

Never Fear!! I'm getting pretty creative with this binnnesss ("business" for all you white folks). One of my biggest problems is that I'm using my boo boo's computer and it won't FREAKING upload my pictures!!

BOO Toshiba!! Gecho game right!

In the mean time, I thought I would supply you with a little "what I'm digging list"

1. PAN-freaking-DORA
I was first introduced to Pandora by John and Sherry over at Young House Love with this post.




one word: OBSESSED. like.....I'm probably going to cheat on Zack with Pandora....and then we can have little Kurt Cobain babies. Speaking of which....this is how it works: You can sign up for an account FO FREE!!! Then, you type in an artist that you are a particular fan of and it will come up with a custom playlist for you that could be associated with the artist or song you chose. For example: I typed in "Nirvana".....because I will forever and always love them. It didn't play the standard Nirvana songs....it began by playing "Heart-Shaped box." Then followed by playing songs that left me screaming "OOOOOHHHHHH EEEEEEEEEEMMMMM GEEEEEEEEEEEEE, HOW DOES IT KNOW?!?!?!"....songs like "Say it Ain't So," "Black-Hole Sun," and "Bittersweet Symphony." So, LOVE: it listens to me, caters to my needs, dependable, thoughtful. In fact, the only "fail" Pandora had was Greenday....how did it get that from Nirvana??? Owell, I can overlook the flaw....that's what love is right? I'll quit obsessing so it doesn't add Mariah Carey to my playlist.....



2. Restored black and white photos.


I found a BEAUTIFUL picture of my mom right after her and my dad got engaged......i'm talking stunning: She looked like a model (pose: looking down at a flower). So I headed down to Walgreens and with the help of the AWESOME photo specialist (Thanks, Pete) blew the picture up to be an 8X10, made it black and white, and enhanced the photo. It looks A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. In fact, my mom was so inspired that she gave me a 5X7 of me and me daddy (Pose: when I was 3...it was a picture of me and my daddy hand-in-hand looking out into the forest at my dad's old deer camp). I want to show you these pictures SOO bad...but it must wait until my cam-tra (trashy camera) cooperates.


3. Goodwill and Salvation army


Simple as that. Do yourself and your community a favor: clean out your house. Here's the rule: if you haven't used it in the past 6 months and it doesn't hold any significant value to you then get rid of it.....DONATE IT! the money will be used to help the less fortunate in your community....My pile is ready to go....AAAANNNNDDD it's a tax write off, hhhhaaaaayyyyy!


4. Burrlington Coat factory home Decor section


I must say.....Touche BCT...touche.



I stole this picture from Google images....but they just don't have pictures of Burlington home decor in the medium. Anyway, for Christmas I scored a STELLAR lamp from there that I just can't wait to show you. I was almost as excited looking around in there as I am skipping through T.J. MAXX. Check it out, yo!

That is going to have to complete my list for the night, probably more to come, though, so stay tuned!!! Anything you guys are especially digging lately??? Let me know, I might dig it, as well.
